Sugarland Gardens Celebrating Life’s Milestones!
We are pleased to present our newest product – Sugarland Gardens, the ideal location for your elegant staff party, corporate awards dinner or your wedding, birthday or anniversary celebrations! Sugarland Gardens is the premier venue for event planners, designed specifically for events. Your event will never be treated as an after-thought! It is the reason why we exist! Each booking will ensure exclusive venue access; early set-up and late pick-down times; and access to the indoor cocktail lounge, deck, lower and upper lawns!

7 Reasons to Have your Next Event at Sugarland Gardens
Events at Sugarland Gardens are not a side business, it's our primary business! Here
are seven benefits to you and your very important guests.
1. Large Events on a Budget
Perhaps the biggest cry of major event planners is the lack of venue options beyond a
certain number of guests and at a reasonable rate.
Solution: Come to Sugarland Gardens! We can comfortably host over 1,000 for a
seated dinner event, plus we have parking for more than 100 vehicles, with additional
parking available on the compound across the street. You will have access to the entire
property, including the indoor facilities, which are excellent for serving cocktails to your
guests upon arrival.

Celebration!
Sugarland Gardens is located opposite the Hayman’s Factory, on Farm Road, St. Peter. Travel north from Warrens, St. Michael and drive along Highway 2A. Just after Baker’s Woods you will see our sign (at the second left). Make that left. We are the yellow property on the right.
2. Privacy
We have produced events
at various hotels around the
island, 5-star hotels
included. We're sure you
have seen guests in bikinis
and beach shorts traversing
through the receptions you
have attended. This can
make your guests
uncomfortable and
dampen the special
nature of event.
Solution: Sugarland
Gardens is an exclusive
venue booked just for
you and your guests!
3. Noise Management
Nothing is more dis-
heartening to your guests
than a party planner
having to cut the music
just as the party is
getting started to
appease hotel guests or
the uninvited neighbours.
Solution: Our neighbour
is just under 1km away
so there are no noise
restrictions here!

4. Set Up & Pick Down
One of the major headaches for persons booking venues is the narrow window within
which they are expected to set up, host the event and then return the venue to its
original state. Some venues only guarantee access an hour before the start, giving one
little time to install decorations, lighting sound and other features for your event.
Solution: At Sugarland Gardens we offer much more flexibility.
5. Power Supply
It can be a real pain in the pocket to have to rent a generator in order to power your
event because of inadequate electrical supply at the venue. Generators are also rather
noisy and dampen the ambience.
Solution: At Sugarland Gardens we have a 150-amp power supply, which ensures that
95 percent of events would not need a
generator. This is a significant saving
particularly in these difficult times.
6. Bathrooms
We know the challenges of trying to set
a certain standard for your event and
then having to rent toilets. An air
conditioned trailer of washrooms will
cost you up to $5000.00.
Solution: That is money that you would
not have to spend at Sugarland
Gardens. Here we have a spacious,
modern powder room for the ladies and
new gents' washrooms that are always
in close proximity to your event. A total
of six units ensure that queues are kept
to a minimum, if they occur at all.

7. Colour Scheme
Nothing can frustrate an event planner more than trying to match company colours,
event theme or indeed, a bride’s fantasy colour scheme, with the kaleidoscope of
colours found in the carpets, curtains and walls at the host venue.
Last Christmas, for example, we decorated a hotel meeting room for a client. Their
black, white and silver glamour theme worked very well until you stepped back and
took in the red and green Christmas tree, the red blue and green carpet and the teal
and yellow walls. Needless to say the impact was not what we would have wanted.
Solution: Sugarland Gardens has neutral colours throughout the property, giving you a
large degree of flexibility to personalize and decorate our venue. Noted decorators
Preston Bailey and Colin Cowie both rave about the value of a fully dressed tent in all
white as a blank palate to express their creative designs. This is the standard we seek
to set at our new venue.

Cheers! Four Great Cocktail
Party Ideas for the
Holidays!
Food, friends, family and festivities! We have all of the core elements to make
your Christmas event a hit with your guests. For those seeking that “wow
factor”, Pangroove Elegant Events’ list of red carpet treatment options can be
combined in many ways to set your event
apart. Here are four great ideas to give your Christmas cocktail party that special
touch your guests will never forget.
2. Island Themes Rather than look north, consider Caribbean
inspirations for your theme. Local flora such as poinsettia; music such as parang; and traditional foods such as ham can bring a touch
of cultural authenticity.
3. Light Up! Transform your event space from ordinary to elegant
with beautiful lighting that blends with your colour scheme. These spaces instantly become beautiful backdrops for your photo-ops.
4. Textures and Tones Be daring and break with tradition by using
one dominant colour such as white or green throughout your event theme from décor to Christmas lights! Alternatively, remember that
colour can be introduce not only in center pieces, but also with the
addition of chair sashes, table overlays or runners, for main and cocktail tables and, of course, event lighting and draping.
1. Your Event Signature Bring a little panache to your event with a signature drink. This adds a
classy touch to your bar while significantly reducing your beverage costs. Here’s a great idea!
Candy Cane
Martini
Ingredients:
2 parts vodka
1 part creme de cocoa
1 part peppermint schnapps
a splash of grenadine for color
Directions:
1. Shake all with ice.
2. Serve in a glass with the rim
dipped in water and then
dipped in finely crushed candy
canes.

Celebrating Life’s Milestones One Elegant Event at a Time Pangroove Elegant Events is trusted by dozens of local firms and event planners, who
turn to us when they want to produce a truly Elegant Event. They value both the
excellent customer service and the high-quality products they receive when doing
business with us. We truly enjoy what we do to transform event spaces to reflect our
clients’ objectives. Here is a sample of some of the work we have done for one of
Barbados’ most noted organizations.
Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)
To commemorate the inauguration of their new offices at Hythe Welches, Maxwell
Christ Church, the IDB turned to Pangroove Elegant Events. This important ceremony
was to be attended by key local dignitaries and members of their top hierarchy who
were going to be on island.
`

Celebration!
The formal presentation was to be
followed by light hors d'oeuvres. The
challenge was the only available time to
hold the ceremony, due to a tight
itinerary, was midday.
Pangroove Elegant Events recommended
and eventually supplied the following
solutions:
- The head table for the dignitaries
- A stage which elevated the head table
slightly above the audience
- A backdrop that facilitated branding,
while providing an appropriate
background for photography and
videography
- The tent, which was dressed with a
smooth liner to create a corporate and
classy look; tent leggings decorated in
brand colours
- Cocktail tables and a small bar were
installed at the rear of the tent to
facilitate refreshments
- A sound system
- Commercial fans to ensure the comfort
level was maintained
- The installation of signage and décor
