A Backyard Bash Like No Other: Private Festival Magic with Tracy Lavin Events
Now and then, we get to photograph something so brilliantly bonkers, so full of colour and energy, that it feels like we’ve stumbled into a dream. This was one of those days. Or should we say nights? Either way, imagine a full-blown music festival, but in someone’s back garden. Yep, you read that right.
Tracy Lavin Events pulled out all the stops (and then some) to turn a private residence into a jaw-dropping, toe-tapping, can-we-live-here-forever style celebration. From the towering tipis to the stilt walkers gracefully striding past flaming cocktails and crepe stands, this wasn’t just a party. It was a whole experience.
While we’re keeping the fabulous guests under wraps (this one was strictly private and we totally respect that), we can absolutely show off the stunning attention to detail that made this event one for the books. Let’s dive in.
Festival Fever Meets Pure Elegance
You didn’t just arrive at this festival, you entered it. Giant tipis framed the party like something out of a movie. There was a full stage, lit like a dream, surrounded by floral installations that could give Chelsea Flower Show a run for its money.
And the branding? Wow. Tracy Lavin Events knows how to leave a mark. From personalised signage to branded cocktail cups, every corner whispered (okay, shouted) class, style, and fun. It was luxury-meets-lost-in-the-moment.
Entertainment Galore (Including a Band You Might’ve Heard Of)
We’re talking steel drummers warming up the afternoon, fire dancers igniting the evening (literally), and dancers in full festival sparkle twirling through it all. A live band and a DJ set kept the beats going, but the real “did-that-just-happen?” moment came when none other than Madness stepped on stage for a private set. Yep. Actual Madness. You should’ve seen the confetti. Actually, you can’t, but trust us—it was epic.
Pizza, Crepes & Cocktails—Oh My
No festival is complete without top-tier food, and this one delivered. Think gourmet pizza from a wood-fired truck, freshly made crêpes with all the fillings your sweet tooth could dream of, and a cocktail bar serving up drinks so pretty they deserved their own photoshoot (don’t worry, we got those).
The Grand Finale
As Madness played their final chords, the night sky lit up with fireworks that burst above the stage like the cherry on top of a very well-shaken cocktail. It was spectacular, personal, and wildly fun.
At ER Photography, we’re all about capturing the spirit of an event, and this one had spirit in spades. Huge thanks to Tracy Lavin Events for creating a celebration that was equal parts glam, wild, and unforgettable.
