Ian Henderson - The Pink Elephant

Our mission statement is to collaborate, create and celebrate events by supporting small, independent businesses around the world.

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 three unique and appetising event styling packages along with The Pink’s Corporate & Wedding Experience. Visit our Event Styling Packages, Corporate Package and Wedding Package pages to discover more.

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.

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

  • “The Pink Elephant catered for my daughter’s birthday, which was a very special event for my family. Working with Ian to develop the concept, product selection and aesthetics for our safari platters and children boxes was truly the best experience. They prepared the most well curated, delicious and stunning product arrangements. Our guests absoutely loved them. The Pink Elephant perfectly marries food and art. I will for sure use them again for other events.”
