Anya & Sam's Wedding - A Celebration of Love and Legacy

Have you ever experienced a wedding so enchanting you couldn’t stop thinking about it the next day? On 10th September 2023, in the heart of London during one of the hottest days of the year, Anya and Sam’s extraordinary celebration left everyone buzzing. Every detail, from the traditional Jewish ceremony at the local synagogue to the vibrant reception in the grand Banking Hall, was a masterclass in elegance and personal touch.
At Cosmic Violet Events, we pride ourselves on building genuine relationships with our clients. Working with Anya’s family over three intimate events has blossomed into a deep friendship. This trust allowed us to craft a wedding that felt like a true family reunion, emphasising the importance of connection in every step of the planning process.
Anya and Sam are the kind of couple who light up the room with their charm and authenticity. Anya, the youngest daughter, knew exactly what she wanted—a celebration filled with glamour, emotion, and meticulous detail. Sam’s easy-going nature perfectly balanced her vibrant energy, creating a harmony that set the tone for the day.
The Venue: Banking Hall, London


The Banking Hall provided a backdrop that was nothing short of breathtaking. With soaring ceilings, elegant columns, and a refined atmosphere, every guest felt as though they had stepped into a world of timeless luxury. The venue’s traditional charm enhanced the modern intricacies of the event, making every moment picture-perfect.
Working with top suppliers is essential. We partnered with Miri Florist, whose floral arrangements transformed the venue into a haven of beauty. Every table set, every bouquet, was designed to mirror Anya’s vision of elegance. The collaboration was a testament to how the right details can bring an event to life.
Suppliers like Benjy Eat Me Events for catering and Aimee Lyons for custom stationery added extra sparkle to the celebration. A ride provided by Lord Cars ensured arrivals were both stylish and seamless. Together, these trusted partners elevated the entire experience, ensuring every aspect of the day was flawless.
‘A wedding is not just an event, it’s a collection of memories and emotions that last a lifetime.’ – The Cosmic Violet Events Team

One of the evening’s most touching moments came during the prayers led by Gideon, the Father of the Bride. His heartfelt blessings in Hebrew brought everyone together in a silent, moving tribute that resonated with each guest.
Behind the lens, photographer Claudine Hartzel captured moments that spoke volumes. From iconic shots on the grand staircase to candid smiles, these photographs tell the story of a day filled with love and wonder. Such moments remind you that every celebration has layers of beauty, both seen and unseen.
Live music played a pivotal role in setting the mood, thanks to The Function Band. Guests found themselves dancing until their feet ached, with the band providing an infectious energy that powered the night. Their performance ensured that every part of the event was buoyant and full of life.
As the night progressed, Anya and Sam took to the stage to share a heartfelt speech. Their words of gratitude towards family and friends created a moment of sincere connection. It was a reminder that genuine emotion and personal stories can elevate a wedding from extraordinary to truly unforgettable.
Planning such an elegant affair on one of London’s hottest days required careful strategy. We ensured that every element—as small as a kept seating plan and as grand as the evening’s lighting—worked together to keep guests comfortable and the atmosphere cool yet stylish. Such insights are invaluable for anyone organising a luxury event.
There was a bittersweet side to the day as it marked the final family wedding we would host for Anya’s family. While we celebrate every joyful event, the thought of not creating another birthday celebration or milestone is both heart-warming and slightly nostalgic. But nothing compared to the joy of witnessing a couple surrounded by love and well-wishers.
