Reset & Rise Summer Party

The Reset & Rise Summer Party brought a vibrant celebration of business, wellbeing and connection to Manchester city centre, transforming Gusto Manchester into a stunning botanical sanctuary.

Guests certainly got the memo, arriving in vibrant oranges, hot pinks and botanical prints as they graced the red carpet. Set against the backdrop of the hottest day of the year, it quickly became one of our most talked about events to date.

The vision behind Reset & Rise was simple. To create a space where women could feel seen, heard and supported whilst taking time to focus on both their health and their business. A chance to pause, reset and rise.

In partnership with Hustle & Health, the event immediately set the tone with warmth, positivity and an incredible sense of community. As they say on their website:

“We are here for the women doing it all, who are done putting their health on the back burner. We coach women aged 35+ through the rollercoaster of midlife health with a warm, no-nonsense approach that brings strength and self-trust back into your life.”

The atmosphere was electric from the moment guests arrived.

Natalie Guyan and Catherine Lynch, affectionately known as Cat & Nat (please do not ask who is the tallest!), welcomed guests on the red carpet and hosted interviews with our incredible brand sponsors, creating a relaxed and engaging atmosphere before the main event began.

Throughout the afternoon we celebrated those who truly embodied the spirit of the event.

Best Dressed was awarded to Aneesa Rasul, chosen by Hustle & Health, alongside Teana Lynne, selected by our fantastic host Henry Ditchfield from the BBC.

Our Most Inspirational awards went to Paula Hanney and Louise Rainford of Freedom & Flow Retreats, whose work has transformed the lives of so many women through their retreats in Portugal and beyond.

Our Champion Guest award was presented to regular attendee Lindsay Hofman, recognised for her unwavering support of the community and her work in holistic therapies and permanent makeup. Runner up prizes were also presented throughout the afternoon.

I wanted this event to feel soulful, authentic and organic and it exceeded every expectation.

Working alongside the incredibly talented Events by Nashe, the venue was transformed into a breathtaking woodland inspired botanical setting. Every detail had been carefully considered, creating an atmosphere that perfectly reflected the Reset & Rise theme.

Guests were welcomed by the soulful sounds of Ed K Sax whilst enjoying a vitality juice or a glass of bubbly before taking their seats.

Cat & Nat then took to the stage, sharing practical, actionable advice around health, wellbeing and how prioritising yourself can positively impact your business.

Every guest also received a beautifully engraved power bank presented in a branded gift bag, with additional luxury goody bags kindly provided by Gusto Manchester in collaboration with Lush.

Guests enjoyed an abundance of delicious canapés including arancini, chocolate desserts, refreshing sorbets and a selection of dishes showcasing the flavours of Gusto’s menu.

Adding another layer of entertainment, David Burgess Magician amazed guests throughout the afternoon with close up magic that left everyone asking, “How did he do that?” David also entertained guests on the red carpet, adding even more energy and interaction to the experience.

Our wellness theme continued through our fantastic brand sponsors including Gut Harmony Mamma and Tropic by Teana Lynne.

Premium Brand Sponsor Samantha Cameron also joined us on the red-carpet stage, sharing valuable insights into social media strategy and personal branding.

Beautiful, branded cupcakes, created by Sunlight Pastries & More, were once again a talking point, adding another thoughtful finishing touch to the event.

The day was professionally captured on film by Maid of Memories and beautifully photographed by Joanna Wood Photography. Additional behind the scenes content was created by Beth J Create, with supporting reels captured by Captured by Candy, ensuring every special moment was preserved.

Following the main event, VIP guests enjoyed an exclusive two course lunch and intimate Q&A session

with Hustle & Health and Samantha Cameron, offering an even deeper dive into wellbeing, business and personal growth.

The celebrations then continued at The Alchemist Spinningfields, where guests carried on networking, strengthening existing relationships and creating exciting new connections.

The event was proudly powered by Elevate Magazine, whose continued support helps elevate every experience. Their contribution ensured guests felt welcomed, looked after and able to fully enjoy the day from start to finish.

Guests left feeling energised, inspired and ready to Reset & Rise in both life and business. New collaborations were formed; confidence was restored and meaningful conversations continued long after the event had ended.

A heartfelt thank you to every sponsor, collaborator, supplier and guest who helped make this event so special.

With love,
