I am Karrena, the owner of Oh So Sweet Occasions.

With a background in marketing and events it has always been a dream to start my own business and use my creative skills. Oh So Sweet incorporates my love of pretty tea sets, cakes and the opportunity to be creative when designing styled events.

My passion for afternoon tea parties started with happy memories of Sunday afternoon tea with the family. Always a warm, loving atmosphere and friendly chit chat. The table was always set with a beautiful table cloth, china cups and saucers, sandwiches cut into triangles and mouth-watering cakes.

I am at my happiest when doing something creative and some would say that I have an obsessive attention to detail! I love creating beautiful tea parties and I am always striving to do something different.

Whether you are planning a stylish afternoon tea party or a relaxing afternoon with friends an Oh So Sweet afternoon tea party is a lovely and indulgent way to celebrate your occasion.

What we are all about

Pushing the boundaries of creativity to design, create and deliver afternoon tea parties with a difference.

We're known for our attention to detail, hard work ethic and personalised approach. We've done everything from vintage style tea parties to Mad Hatter tea parties and everything in between.

You can view examples of our previous afternoon tea parties in the news section or across social media.
