About Sugar & Rind

Sugar & Rind was founded by Philly Mackinnon during the Covid-19 hiatus. Ever the optimist, Philly was convinced that once the nightmare was over, everyone would be desperate to get out, celebrate and throw a fabulous party. Luckily, she was right!

Since then, Sugar & Rind has gone from strength to strength, establishing itself as a trusted name in luxury party planning, wedding planning and corporate events for both private and business clients, with a service-led approach to coordination from first ideas through delivery.

Our Story

Armed with over 25 years of experience in events, entertainment and sponsorship, including senior roles at IMG, The Football Association and Havas, Philly set about creating an events company built on her passion for party planning and on clear project leadership. It combined big-agency expertise with the personality, flexibility and attention to detail of a boutique business, alongside strong communication and a practical plan that helps manage details early so small issues do not become crises.

Our Team

Today, we work with an incredible network of creative suppliers, entertainers, designers and production specialists to deliver everything from intimate celebrations to ambitious, large-scale events.

Experience

30+ years of working in events means a few more grey hairs and hundreds and hundreds of events under our belt!

Typical Clients

Our clients include private customers and corporates who want to throw a wonderful party curated and delivered by Sugar & Rind.

Amazing service, perfect wedding day organised!

Philly and Carmen were absolutely amazing, helping us plan and organise the most perfect wedding day! Living in New Zealand meant planning a wedding in the UK was going to be tricky, but Philly and Carmen took care of everything - amazing canapes, beautiful decorations and a great photographer to capture all the little moments of the day. Would highly, highly recommend using Sugar and Rind!

Best party ever!

Philly and Rupy were absolutely fantastic and they helped us to throw a brilliant triple birthday party in Oxfordshire! Our party had all the ages from babies up to nonagenarians and everyone was well catered for. We had children’s entertainment including face painting (the best I’ve ever seen), chocolate truffle making and the Sharky & George crew, plus live music from Soulfools, and superb food and drinks. Everything was well managed and it was really very lovely to fully enjoy party leaving the details and on-the-day legwork in their capable hands! I can wholeheartedly recommend Sugar & Rind and hope that we can work together again in the future!

Amazing company, amazing experience!

Philly and her team at Sugar & Rind are second to none and gave us such an effortless and top tier experience. As soon as I made a request on add to event, Philly reached out and we had a call where she listened to all of our requirements. From then on it was a breeze to plan a party (which I had never done before). It was extremely overwhelming to have to find a DJ, bar and food for 50 people but Philly took it in her stride and delivered exactly what we requested. Not only was this huge for me and managing my work load, our partners who attended the event were super happy and we had very happy customers who will remember the night for a long time to come. Thank you so much, can't recommend Sugar & Rind enough!

Wonderful party planners!

Sugar & Rind were absolutely brilliant! I hired them to organise a birthday party for my mother. They arranged everything; food, drinks, staff, entertainment and decorations. Philly and her team were so fantastic to work with and her creative ideas and professional but friendly approach made for a wonderful party. I would highly recommend! She thought of and included every last detail and made it so easy for me to deliver a fabulous event. Thanks SO much to Sugar & Rind!
