Most event spaces have an “Events Manager” or “Coordinator” and as they are paid by the venue they don’t always pay as much attention to detail as your own dedicated planner and often leave right when you need them. I will be on hand to ensure staff are briefed properly with every detail of your event and will sort out any issues before your guests notice.
My job is to help you to get exactly what you want on the day regardless of your budget, whether it’s a:
- Palace, theatre or zoo in the centre of London
- Marquee in your backyard
- Hotel in Watford
- Stately Manor House in Hertfordshire
- Botanical garden in New Zealand
- Vineyard in New Zealand
your event will still be given the same detail, thought and attention.
I can do as much or as little as you require; anything from just finding the venue to organising every detail including hair and makeup, florist, photographer, catering, and transport. I can arrange a personalised chauffeur to pick you up from home, take you to visit venues or attend appointments saving you the hassle of catching trains and taxis or finding carparks.
Remember there is no such thing as a free events planner, if you enter into a contract with an events company for the venue, entertainment, catering, flowers or any part of this instead of directly, you will be paying £3,000-7,000 for this service. I promise I can give you better value for money than any events company and happy for you to test this out for free.
