Behind the Scenes: How We Curate Every Experience
Have you ever walked into a hens party and thought, how did everything come together so perfectly? The cocktails are delicious, the decorations look like a Pinterest board, the entertainer is hilarious and the vibe feels exactly like your bride. Spoiler alert. None of that happens by accident.
At My Ultimate Hens, every celebration is carefully crafted behind the scenes with creativity, intention and just the right amount of glitter.
We are the team who tests cocktails before you drink them, auditions entertainers before you meet them and styles themes long before you walk in the door. Your hens party might last a few hours, but the magic behind it starts long before the bride arrives.
When you book a My Ultimate Hens package, you’re getting a curated hens party experience that’s been planned, tested, and styled end-to-end.
Today, we are giving you the backstage pass to see exactly how we curate every My Ultimate Hens experience.
Why Our Behind-the-Scenes Process Makes Every Hens Party Unforgettable
There are hens parties, and then there are My Ultimate Hens parties. The difference lives in the details you never see. Our process blends event design, party entertainment expertise and a whole lot of hens night energy.
Here is why our behind-the-scenes approach creates unforgettable celebrations:
- Every package is developed with the bride’s personality as the inspiration.
- We handpick entertainers who bring fun, flair and confidence.
- Activities are tested for laughter, creativity and connection.
- Themes are styled with intention so everything feels cohesive.
- Food and drinks are curated for flavour, presentation and celebration energy.
- The entire flow of the event is planned for maximum fun.
Your celebration might look effortless, but behind the curtain is a team working passionately to make each detail sparkle.
Step Inside: How We Curate Every My Ultimate Hens Experience
Time to pull back the curtain. Here is the real, unfiltered, sparkly truth. This stage is where every idea, entertainment option, colour palette and menu item becomes a full-scale experience. Our planners meet daily to refine workshop ideas, review entertainers, test props and choose which themes will become next season’s most requested vibe.
Behind the scenes, we map out exactly how your celebration unfolds. We test lighting, check timing between activities, review venue flow and run through the playlist to make sure energy builds at the right moment. Every tiny choice is intentional. No two brides are the same, which is why no two curated experiences ever look or feel alike. This is where creativity meets organisation, and where glitter meets Google Sheets.
1. The Brainstorm: Where Every Hens Idea Begins
Every single hens party package begins with a creative brainstorm. Picture this. A table filled with mood boards, colour palettes, props, cocktail garnishes, feathers, disco balls and a few planners passionately debating whether pink or lilac suits the vibe best.
We start with one big question.
What would make the bride say, this is so me?
From there, we explore:
- current hens party trends
- what groups are loving in each city
- what themes are going viral
- new creative hens ideas
- unique entertainment combinations
- fun twists on classic experiences
One planner once suggested, what if we combine Italian food, disco lights and a drag queen? That idea absolutely made it into our package lineup.
This stage is creative, chaotic and always fun.
2. The Activity Test Lab: Yes, We Test Everything
Before an activity becomes part of a My Ultimate Hens package, it is tested, tweaked and perfected. The test lab stage is where we confirm the experience is entertaining for everyone, from the creative guest to the shy friend to the wild bridesmaid.
Behind the scenes, you will find us:
- painting sample canvases for Paint and Sip
- mixing cocktails to test flavour and colour
- trying out clay workshops
- laughing through mock life drawing sessions
- evaluating lighting for photo walls
- arranging grazing platters for visual impact
- dancing around venues to test the vibe
Some real behind-the-scenes moments:
- A planner accidentally sculpted something questionable in a clay workshop
- A mixologist refused to approve a cocktail because it was not cute enough
- A drag queen audition left us laughing so hard we had to reschedule a meeting
- We once redid an entire grazer layout because the grapes were not symmetrical
If it is not fun behind the scenes, it does not go into our hens party packages.
3. How We Choose the Perfect Entertainers
Your entertainer sets the tone for the whole celebration, which is why we handpick every performer with care.
Here is what goes into selecting each one:
- Drag queens audition with mini performances. We test comedic timing, stage presence, glamour and their ability to work a crowd.
- Topless waiters are selected for personality first. Friendly, charming and confident wins over looks every time.
- Life drawing models must be comfortable, funny and able to hold a pose while the group giggles.
- Mixologists must be interactive, charismatic and skilled. Their cocktail class should feel like a party, not a lecture.
- Workshop hosts are chosen for patience, creativity and their ability to make everyone feel like an artist.
If we would not book them for our own party, we do not book them for yours.
4. The Theme Studio: Where Aesthetics Come Alive
Designing a hens theme is like designing a tiny, fabulous universe. We build each theme with props, colours, décor, lighting and accessories that tell a story.
Behind the scenes, we set up mock layouts, test décor combinations and create mood boards until everything feels cohesive.
Here is how we curate our most iconic themes:
- Mamma Mia gets coastal colours, Greek island vibes and ABBA energy.
- Mob Wife gets glossy textures, bold prints and fierce glamour.
- Pearls and Prosecco gets soft tones, pearls, sparkle and elegant styling.
- Taylor Swift Lover gets pastel pink, hearts, shimmer and dreamy details.
- Gatsby Glam gets feathers, gold accents and vintage flair.
- Tutus and Tiaras gets ballet blush tones and whimsical accessories.
Nothing is accidental. Every detail contributes to the vibe.
5. The Food and Drink Curation Table
Taste testing day is a serious event in our team. We curate your menu based on taste, presentation and theme compatibility.
Behind the scenes, we:
- test cocktail colours, garnishes and glassware
- sample bites for flavour and visual appeal
- arrange grazing platters for abundance and balance
- select desserts that are cute, photogenic and delicious
- ensure options match dietary needs
match drinks to themes for extra aesthetic value
A Lover theme? Expect pink cocktails and cute garnishes.
A Mob Wife theme? Rich flavours and dramatic presentation.
A luxury yacht experience? Think crisp sparkling and elegant plating.
We choose food and drinks that elevate the moment.
6. The Logistics Dance
This is the part that brides never see, but it makes all the difference.
Behind the scenes, our planners:
- confirm venue timing
- check entertainer schedules
- manage setup layouts
- arrange props and accessories
- double check dietary requirements
- organise arrival sequences
- review timing for activity transitions
- ensure everything flows without interruption
Our logic is simple.
When logistics are perfect behind the scenes, the celebration feels effortless in front of them.
7. One Hour Before Your Hens Party
The final hour before your arrival is its own mini production.
Behind the scenes:
- drag queens warm up vocals
- topless waiters fix hair and practice poses
- mixologists line up garnishes
- hosts perfect the photo wall
- planners smooth tablecloths and adjust décor
- someone is always wrestling with a balloon garland
- the playlist gets a final volume check
The vibe backstage is fun, energetic and filled with excitement.
We know the moment you walk in, the magic becomes real.
