Manchester’s business and creatives gathered in style for one of the most talked-about events of the season: The Limitless & Bold Valentine’s Party. What began as a simple idea quickly evolved into a sold-out event at the fashionable and iconic Maya Restaurant & Bar. The stunning venue set the perfect backdrop for a celebration of confidence, connection, and empowerment.
With a dress code of vivid reds, hot pinks, and metallics, VIP guests truly stepped up as they arrived on the red carpet ready for the perfect Instagram moment. The event saw an incredible turnout. With very few dropouts, over 90 guests attended, and the venue was buzzing with energy and excitement.
The space was beautifully transformed by the talented team at Ornate Décor, who created a stunning visual experience. From rose-themed styling and statement balloons to the red carpet and a striking heart-shaped centrepiece, the décor delivered a true wow factor. This was complemented by a beautiful cascading rose display board created by John Dedman Interiors.
Guests arrived in the main bar area where they were welcomed with mocktails, cocktails, and circulating light bites, while Edward Kainyek created soulful saxophone vibes with uplifting tunes that instantly set the tone for the afternoon.
Kayleigh Greenacre, keynote speaker and founder of Actually I Can, also hosted interviews on the red carpet, asking guests quick-fire questions while keeping an eye out for the Best Dressed and Most Inspirational Female prizes. Guests mingled and made new connections alongside many familiar faces who support the events time and time again.
The party then moved downstairs into the famous Pump Room, a beautifully boujee space complete with a disco ball. Once again, the room had been transformed with a sequin wall, neon lighting, rose petals, and candlelight, creating the perfect setting for the next part of the evening. Taking to the stage were Dani Devren, Soul Aligned Mentor, and Kayleigh Greenacre, who both delivered powerful talks centred around the theme of being limitless and bold. This was followed by an introduction to the Brunch Club and concluded with a relaxed fireside-style chat and Q&A session.
Vaughan Taylor Vaughan Taylor closed the party with uplifting songs while guests continued networking upstairs in the main bar. Guests were also treated to incredible close-up magic by David Burgess Magician, adding even more wow factor to the afternoon.
