In recognition of the late Queen Elizabeth II 👑, Allely Estate held a Royal High Tea afternoon to celebrate her majesty’s life. Attendees dusted off their weekend glad rags, dressed in their best afternoon outfits befitting a royal celebration and enjoyed a splendid afternoon of high tea and bubbles in our gorgeous Villa and surrounding gardens, fit for the Queen.
From a delectable, delicious selection of smoked chicken pinwheels, yummy cream cheese cucumber sammies, salmon crostini, jam pennies, scones with jam & cream, delicious cupcakes from Miss Melicious Cupcakes and more there was no thinking about the high tea diet! Our chefs at Allely Estate did themselves proud – crumbs were all that was left.
Washed down with NZ & French bubbles from Wine Time – quality wines and bubbles with personalised labelling as well as cups and saucers with Harney & Sons tea.
While the gardens and company could well have been enough a guest appearance by the ever-charming Anita Wigli’t as “The Queen”, from Ru Pauls Drag Race was the icing on the cupcake – accommodating all her subjects with an audience and photos – such a delight!
So great to have Cheryll Martin, recent recipient for a QSO from the Queen for her voluntary services to the community in our company to. Cheryll is the amazing mother of our Event & Venue Manager – Melissa Fleming.
Winner of the 6 bottles of French Bubbles from Wine Time and Tea from Harney & Sons, was Rachel Falwasser and the 2 bottles of French Bottles from Wine Time was Lucy Richter. Both ladies were royally drawn by Geoff Salisbury from Geoff Salisbury Photohgraphy NZ.
Lovely to have memorable stories shared by those who attended of previous birthday celebrations and weddings held or attended by them at Allely Estate.
Those who bought a Royal Ticket with bubbles could not help themselves in purchasing bottles of more bubbles to share! Bottoms Up!
Melissa and her team organised and delivered this event within 2 weeks of initiative. Allely Estate are renowned for delivering AMAZING events with short notice. Athina and the team delivered the wedding for Jony & Alistair within one month – a wedding that went on to become the NZ Bride & Groom Wedding of the Year.
