Smith & Niemierko Host Wedding Showcase At Bluebird Restaurant, Chelsea

To celebrate the new look Bluebird in Chelsea, Susan Smith & Mark Niemierko of Smith & Niemierko, the UK’s leading wedding planners, are co-hosting a Champagne and canapés reception to showcase the newly refurbished restaurant to their Brides, Grooms and elite suppliers within the British Wedding Industry.

Located in the heart of Chelsea, Bluebird makes a perfect destination for a stunning wedding reception.

Hired exclusively, Bluebird can caterer for up to 240 people for a seated dinner and dance or 600 for a standing reception. The space offers flexible alternatives for private dining. These include the Bluebird Café and cobble-stoned Courtyard based on the ground level, which can be hired for summer wedding receptions to accommodate up to 250 guests; the loft-like Restaurant and Bar on the first floor and the Mezzanine Room situated high above the Restaurant in the eaves of the roof; the Gallery is a light and airy space for private dinners and the larger Beaufort Room located in the Club area which comes with its own bar.

The new interior has been designed by Conran & Partners creating an eclectic, intimate and relaxing space.

Wedding Planner Mark Niemierko of Smith & Niemierko comments: "There’s always something quite exclusive and special about hiring a restaurant for a wedding reception. And at Bluebird it doesn’t get anymore exclusive. Being in the heart of Chelsea, along the King's Road, I love the idea of guests arriving for an outdoor drinks reception in the Courtyard and then moving upstairs for a delicious dinner in the Restaurant prepared by acclaimed Executive Chef Mark Broadbent".

The Wedding Showcase will be held on the evening of Wednesday 20th June in the Gallery Room at Bluebird; the Beaufort Room will be set for a wedding breakfast to showcase what the venue has to offer. Smith & Niemierko’s invited guests will enter through the private Club entrance located on Beaufort Street, walking up to the attractive dining room with floral displays by Kate Moss’ favourite florist Andy Davenport at Wild About. Andy has a wealth of experience and a fresh, creative eye for the new and interesting. Leading bespoke Cake-Maker May Clee-Cadman of Maisie Fantaisie will present one of her chic wedding cake designs. May works one-to-one with her clients ensuring a unique and special design. Whilst specialised and expert wedding photographers Contre Jour will be capturing the event.

Guests will walk away with gift bags including treats from two of Smith & Niemierko’s privileged associations. Luxurious London Perfume House Miller Harris will be providing a set of products from their ‘Citron Citron’ fragrance. Whilst renowned Make-Up Artist Jemma Kidd will include a gift set from her range of cosmetic products.
