Oh my goodness! Mark Niemierko, one of the UK's most famous and successful wedding planners who has featured on our blog before, never fails to amaze us with his designs and attention to detail when creating a truly spectacular wedding!
We just had to share this gorgeous video of one of his creations coming to life as it is so beautiful.... View video here.
Mark Niemierko, one of the UK’s leading event and wedding planners, hosted a valentine’s reception with a masculine twist at men’s tailoring house Spencer Hart, last week on Tuesday 07th February 2012.
The St Valentine’s Party was held within Spencer Hart’s newly opened flagship store on Brook Street in London’s Mayfair.

The cool and savvy menswear brand, Spencer Hart, offers a style, mood and attitude that Nick Hart works within. With ready to wear and made to measure all under one roof, Spencer Hart offers a modern approach to tailoring yet leaves men looking classic and sharp.
Mark Niemierko comments “My annual Valentine’s party allows the wedding industry a night off, to let their hair down and celebrate the hard work we’ve all put in. As well as to look forward to the weddings in the year ahead. A few previous Niemierko Grooms have chosen to wear Spencer Hart suits on their wedding day, upon visiting their new flagship store I instantly thought this would make a great party venue. Perfectly located directly opposite one of my favourite hotels, Claridge’s, and diagonally opposite Vera Wang. Brook Street is fast becoming a must visit location for all Brides and Grooms.”
Mark Niemierko chose for one night to focus his attention on the Groom for a change. After all it is all about marrying two people!
The evening had a gentlemanly theme throughout. Cigar girls, model waitresses serving Godfathers, a whiskey based cocktail, along with Sweet Manhattans.
The canapés provided by Martyn Neil, Claridge’s Executive Chef were as tasty as they looked. Ballotine of Foie Gras, Cornet of Smoke Salmon Moscovites, Oriental Spoon of Lobster and Papaya and a selection of sushi.
As with all Niemierko events they didn’t disappoint with dessert. Whiskey truffles, gold dust macaroons and Brandy Snaps with Grand Marnier Whipping Cream.
Niemierko’s dear friend and florist Rob Van Helden (who will be featuring in a unique interview on our blog very soon) arranged for phalaenopsis orchid displays as well as filling the perspex bar with buttonholes.

The perfectly matched black baroque poser tables supplied by Great Hire looked as though they were made for the store. Whilst the entertainment came from singer Sean Ryder Wolf, a handsome swing singer.
The unquestionable highlight of the evening came from second performer Kelli-Leigh, an amazing vocalist who sings with the likes of Adele.
Guests walked off with Niemierko gift bags including a pair of Claridge’s His and Her slippers, Cigars, Groom shaped cookies, The Hangover DVD and a Niemierko gift card set.... the lucky folks!!!
During the 5 day master-class in early October 2011 the Niemierko Wedding Academy at The Dorchester, the UK’s foremost wedding planning academy founded by luxury planner Mark Niemierko, was fortunate enough to have Bruce Oldfield attend as a guest contributor.

Acclaimed fashion designer Bruce Oldfield OBE, attended the October Academy for an intimate one off Q&A session with Mark Niemierko and his students. Bruce gave an honest interview where he told Mark that he recommends a bride should “get down to her bra and pants, stand in front of a very good mirror and really decide what her good points are,” prior to going wedding dress shopping.

Bruce Oldfield was present at The Dorchester for the inspirational Beauty and Attire day of the 5 day master-class, held on Thursday 6th October, within the Dorchester’s Penthouse and Pavilion. The students also had a private view of four dresses from Bruce’s current Bridal Collection. Whilst openly discussing his experiences of dressing some of the most famous women in the world, from the late HRH Diana Princess of Wales to Rihanna.

As well as giving advice and experience to the students on how to run and manage a business, and where to draw inspiration. Bruce recommended students learn from their mistakes early on in their business careers, and to always look around them for inspiration, from travelling to interiors. Even pointing out that as he sat in the Oliver Messel Penthouse and Pavilion Suite at The Dorchester he felt inspired by the detail around the room.
The Niemierko Academy is a high-end inspirational experience that helps equip its students with the tools and contacts to become wedding planners of quality in the future. Held within the luxurious surroundings of The Dorchester the course is innovative, insightful and hands on.
