The Brief

To support a stylish Cotswold-based new Yorker for her 50th birthday party celebrations, working alongside her curation, design and styling for a fabulous, authentic American barn dance of dreams at her home on the farm.

The Solution

Our New York City client, inspired by England and her life in the Cotswolds, beautifully mixed the all-important key barn dance ingredients with styling her own gorgeous barn in rural Oxfordshire to create a memorable themed summer party.

The glorious wooden barn doors were thrown open to the golden evening, with a view over the fields, lighting was carefully planned and dimmed, beautiful linens and furniture gave the barn the Cowboy twist – together with guest costumes absolutely completing the picture.
Oasis delivered the party taking on every detail from the earliest ideas to running the night itself. We sourced the right suppliers, worked with our client’s own teams, scheduled the set up (ad clear up) with sensitivity to the household living next door and the working farm, and coordinated the chosen supplier team to bring the vision to fruition seamlessly.

From dried hops on the walls to stoneware on the tables, beer barrels, sturdy water glasses, hay carts for drinks service to back bars made of straw bales, it was a delight to put together all the finer points and stage the hoedown of a lifetime at the height of a British summer.

Highlights included epicurean delights by local New York foodies D’Ambrosi (https://www.dambrosi.co.uk/) bringing fried chicken and cornbread to the Cotswold masses. The tequila cocktails flowed, and music all night long was provided by live bands performing on stone floors and bale stages, and a DJ tucked up in the wooden mezzanine for late night moves.

Fabulous fashion details and a memorable cast of party people made this night one to remember.
