About

The Garden Room is managed by The Concerto Group, one of the UK's leading event services companies. A £30 million business with nine offices and employing over 120 full time staff, the Group comprises of 16 brands that provide event management, venues, catering and event services.

The Concerto Group has a heritage that dates back to 1986 when Sam Gill and Philip Milne founded Business Pursuits Event Management. Three years later in London, Mike Kershaw and Guy Rodger started The Ultimate Experience and it was these two companies who, together with Richard Groves and Caroline Gardiner at Richard Groves Catering & Events, came together in 1999 to form The Concerto Group. The merger of these three businesses created a unique events company with an 'integrated event solution' of venues, event management and catering.

Since 1999 the group has gone from strength to strength with the acquisition of more event brands (including Eventwise and Mask), catering such as Touch of Taste and venues including Delfina. Our ambition has taken us into highly successful ventures in performance and production (Full Circle), event staffing (Lola) and Asian catering (Payal) as well as further and ongoing expansion of our venue portfolio both in London and elsewhere.

The company remains privately owned by the founders of the original businesses.
