Ian Henderson, the man behind The Pink Elephant brand - London’s luxury platter, event styling and tablescaping business - was born and raised in Zimbabwe, educated in Brisbane, Australia, and after many years living in London has recently relocated to a barn conversion near St Alban’s, Hertfordshire. With a love for travelling, food and entertaining, Ian set out to encompass and share his zest for life by founding The Pink Elephant.

Unlike the regular “elephant in the room”, The Pink Elephant is too fabulous not to be spoken about. While ‘pink’ represents it’s flamboyant, playful and eccentric spirit, the ‘elephant’ traces back to Ian’s magical African upbringing and the idea that our creative presence in a space is striking, eye-catching and cannot be missed.

Established as a passion project in 2020, The Pink Elephant has now flourished into a thriving and ever-evolving luxury event styling business.

The Pink Elephant proudly supports a community of small independent businesses in the hospitality and entertainment industry within the UK. Committed to elevating special occasions, The Pink Elephant offers bespoke event styling packages tailored to any occasion from picnics to private event and corporate gatherings to weddings.

Sharing platters feature a selection of premium quality products sourced locally in global destinations. These include luxury cheeses, charcuterie meats and sweet treats.

In June 2023 The Pink Elephant launched its own music and entertainment packages which include an exciting array of talented independent artists and line-ups which can be specifically curated to suit and enhance any occasion. Visit Our Music Packages to discover more. Similarly, The Pink Elephant entertainment packages offer a multitude of different performers and entertainers, from dancers and acrobats to drag queens and face-painters.

The Pink Elephant is proud to partner with the OVO group this summer to offer their clients a combined charcuterie picnic box and theatrical experience at The Roman Open Air Theatre Festival for 70 days of productions from the beginning of June until the end of August 2025.

All luxury packages can be accompanied by the brand’s very own tablescaping range. Visit our Tablescaping page to browse our beautiful new collection.
