Male: First of all we can see all this beautiful boxes behind you. What exactly are they for?
Bessy Moufarrige: They are wedding favors and we also do them for parties, corporate events, christenings—bridesmaid’s gifts that anything you want but put only before weddings.
Male: Excellent. And can you tell me exactly what a wedding favorite is?
Bessy Moufarrige: Yes, it’s a box or a pouch or a trinket, very often filled with sweets, very often with sugar and almonds which signify the sweetness and bitterness of love and married life. And basically they are to be given to the guest as sort of took on a momentum of the appreciation for coming and sharing the day or the event with the people who are throwing the wedding or party whatever they say.
Male: So, what you normally give a favor to all the guests?
Bessy Moufarrige: It can be to all the guests, it can be to just the wedding party or just the bridesmaids. It could be just to the parents. It depends on budgets and on just personal requirement really.
Male: So you have to tell me what is the strangest favor you have not to organize?
Bessy Moufarrige: Probably the strangest favor I can’t actually tell you because it’s a bit rude but we did have to start a telephone which suppose to crystals one and I would say that that’s probably the most misspoke thing we’ve ever done. To sky’s the limit. It can be anything that you can possibly imagine and we can make you anything you can possibly imagine. If you wish to tell me that you want your microphone made this big and silver with your name engraved through out it to give to all your guest, we could do it.
Male: I have to ask if behind you is a tent?
Graham Cresswell: That’s right, yes one of our Mongolian—so much more of a London obviously for a wedding and this might be used for a bridal suite that we put a full poise to bedding and the night of the wedding so the couple might want to you know again the tree—woods instead that driven guys to a hotel.
Male: Wow, it all sounds very, very romantic.
Graham Cresswell: Well it is quite romantic really. It’s all about the—I’m trying to really maintain a high static using natural materials that’s all thing with the wooden frame structures here. It’s based on the Mongolian design which is an ancient traditional tent design that still living them today often the steps and we’ve really expand and that’s all there and create a much, much larger ones. So then accommodate up to 250-300 people dining really.
What we’re trying to do really is turn a good fruitful days for the event because I’ve seen the tents first thing to go in and then you got your flowers and your cakes you want to set up, so we need to really have to start—running by Wednesday or Thursday for Saturday wedding.
Male: And any big celebrity clients, you can tell us about.
Graham Cresswell: Yeah we’ve done a few here and there. We’ve done some works for the—we did Jasmine—wedding last summer and we got a few on the calls for the ship but I can’t really name—
Male: How much is one of these beauties going to satisfy?
Graham Cresswell: Well that is the really important question. This one that you see here, you could have the yurt itself for about $500 pounds, obviously furnishing interiors on top of that and then you can just scale it up and if you wanted a similar structure, same style and design but to accommodate say 300 dining you’ll be looking at more around the 6,000 pound mark.
