At Finest Plastering, we recently completed a truly special project in Birmingham, a place close to my heart as it’s where I, Adnan, the founder of Finest Plastering, grew up. This wasn’t just another job—it held deep emotional significance for me. The project involved transforming the Quaid-E-Azam Wedding Hall, a space that was once a Mercedes dealership I used to visit often as a child. Back then, I would admire the cars and dream of one day owning my favourite models, drawing inspiration from the sleek designs and luxury of the vehicles. So, returning to this building years later, not as a wide-eyed kid, but as a professional artisan entrusted with transforming the space, was an incredibly meaningful experience.
A Wedding Hall with History
The wedding hall itself has an interesting past, once home to a prestigious Mercedes dealership. For me, this building represented aspiration. As a young boy, I’d visit the dealership to look at my favourite cars, admiring their curves and finishes, and imagining what it would be like to own one. Little did I know that one day I would return—not as a customer, but to leave my own mark on the place by transforming it into a stunning wedding venue through the artistry of plastering. This project was more than just a job; it was a full-circle moment, combining my childhood dreams with my passion for craftsmanship.
Transforming 75 sqm with Marble Plaster
The project involved covering 75 square metres of the wedding hall with luxurious marble plaster. My team of two took on this challenge with care and precision, knowing the significance the space held for me. Marble plaster, with its sleek, polished finish, was the perfect choice to bring a sense of luxury and sophistication to the venue. We added delicate veins to the plaster to mimic the natural beauty of real marble, which gave the walls a rich and elegant texture without overwhelming the space.
Our aim was to create a serene yet grand environment—an atmosphere that would be perfect for weddings and celebrations. The marble plaster’s soft, flowing veins added a sense of depth and movement, giving the space an almost ethereal quality, while the calm, neutral colours we chose helped maintain a relaxing and inviting feel.
10 Marble Panels for Added Elegance
In addition to covering the large surface area of the hall, we also had the task of transforming 10 feature panels with the same luxurious marble plaster effect. These panels became focal points throughout the venue, further enhancing the sophisticated atmosphere. For the colour scheme, we opted for soft, calm tones—light creams, warm whites, and gentle greys—to create a sense of peace and relaxation, while still offering an air of refinement perfect for a wedding venue.
A Relationship of Trust
This wasn’t the first time we worked with the client, and over the years we’ve built a strong relationship based on trust and quality. For this project, the client entrusted us with full creative control, relying on our past experience to make design decisions that would meet their expectations. Knowing they had confidence in our work only deepened the emotional connection I felt to the project. We took extra care to ensure that every detail was executed to perfection, blending elegance and tranquillity throughout the space.
An Emotional and Meaningful Project
Completing this project at the Quaid-E-Azam Wedding Hall was more than just another job—it was a personal and emotional journey for me. From admiring cars in the very same building as a child to now having the opportunity to transform the space into something beautiful and meaningful, it was a full-circle moment that I will always cherish. The marble plastering we applied has given the wedding hall a timeless elegance, turning it into a venue where couples can celebrate their most special moments. The soft, soothing colours and detailed veining created an atmosphere of calm luxury, perfect for a place where love and joy come together.
At Finest Plastering, we are honoured to take on projects that hold such meaning and importance. Whether it’s a personal connection like this one or simply a desire to deliver high-quality craftsmanship, we pour our heart and soul into every job we do. If you’re looking to transform a space, whether it’s in Birmingham or anywhere across the UK, we’d love to help make your vision a reality.
