The Military Wives permed their Christmas Number One single Wherever You Are, tracks from their new album and a selection of Christmas Carols for 250 VIP guests in the forecourt of Grosvenor House, A JW Marriott Hotel on 12 December.
Grosvenor House’s event saw the iconic hotel forecourt transformed into a winter wonderland for Marriott Rewards members, valued guests, VIP clients and Mayfair neighbours. The forecourt underwent under a 24 hour transformation with a truss construction, including outdoor heating, festive dressing and food and drink stations.
Guests enjoyed traditional Hog and Three Bird Roasts, seasonal Canapés, Gluhwine and JW Steakhouse’s signature cheesecake in miniature along with Bourbon Hot Chocolate from the Bourbon Bar.
The Military Wives Choir formed last year under TV choirmaster Gareth Malone in the fourth series of BBC2’s The Choir, when he taught them to sing while their husbands and partners toured Afghanistan. Following the show, Gareth and the Military Wives went on to record Wherever You Are, written by Royal Wedding composer Paul Mealor. It was released on 19 December 2011 and reached the coveted Christmas Number One spot.
