Last night, DoubleTree By Hilton held their glamorous annual party with VIVA Magazine in the stylish SkyLounge, which was transformed into an beautiful and elegant gardenia, courtesy of Giraffe Events Solutions, with the classic ‘English Garden Party’ theme as the event’s muse. Guests looked radiant in bright cocktail dresses, channelling the glow of the evening’s dwindling sun rays that shone on the private penthouse’s spacious terrace.

While guests were warmly welcomed with cocktails and high tea cuisine, VIVA Ems set an upbeat tone for the evening, treating the crowd to energetic house beats from behind the decks. Saxophonist Calvin Henry proved to be the perfect compliment to VIVA Em’s trademark house drops, providing jazzy summer soul.

Among the 100 guests enjoying the buzzing atmosphere and city networking were Hollyoaks actresses Jorgie Porter and Nicole-Barber Lane, former Coronation Street and Waterloo Road star Denise Welch, Big Brother stars Louise Cliffe and Stuart Pilkington, makeup artist and TV presenter Armand Beasley, Heart FM’s Lorna Barncroft and Joel Ross plus rocker Seth Lepperd from Black Grape .

Having a blast on the dance floor was former X Factor contestant, Goldie Cheung, who vivaciously danced the night away to the night’s infectious tracks and rhythms. With representatives of Manchester’s top businesses from a range of different backgrounds and industries attending, it meant the party was ideal for creating the hottest business opportunities.

There was an spectacular array of primrose and marigold cocktails and an abundance of refreshments for guests to enjoy at their leisure, including melt in the mouth strawberries encased in chocolate, delicious smoked salmon, fresh fruit and salad, all to be savoured in the thriving atmosphere.

The entertaining night ended with a flawless finale in the Urban Bar on the Ground Floor of the DoubleTree Hilton, where you can catch VIVA Ems every Thursday, bringing you on trend tracks, kicking off from 6pm.
