The celebration

Welcome to paradise

Forty years of Imoteda, told across two parties, an intimate dinner, and a celebration in full colour.

The woman of the hour

They call her Aunty Teda. The city calls her a good time.

Some people throw a party. Imoteda builds a world. For forty years she has been the friend who remembers the details, the host who makes a stranger feel like family, the one who turns a Tuesday into a story you’re still telling on Friday.

This September, we’re giving that warmth back to her, a tropical paradise of her own, full of every favourite thing. The flowers she loves, the drink she’d order, the colour she’d wear, the music she’d dance to until the lights came up.

This is placeholder copy. Imoteda’s own words, 200 to 400 of them, drop straight in here.

The theme

A few of her favourite things

Chrysanthemums

Her flower, bold, layered, impossible to ignore.

A good G&T

Gin, tonic, a wedge of lime. The house drink of paradise.

Colour, loud

Coral, marigold, hibiscus pink, joy you can see.

Music & company

A full room, a live band, and the people she loves.
