Another gem from the archive. December 2020. Lockdown.
A ghostly Savoy hotel … empty except for a masked camera crew, me … and a streaming DJ set with Me & Mrs Jones (Richard Jones & Sophie Ellis Bexter) to 150 homes around the UK.
I kept my clothes on.
Okay I might be riding the @saltburnfilm #murderonthedancefloor thing - but hey it was 2021, Sophie Ellis Bexter and my event. Let me be on trend for the first time please 😂 Such a dream for a special event
As I am wrapping up the year, a little video (with summer vibes! Why not!) to reflect, and share thanks, to all the great venue partners in 2023. Whilst not as crazy as 2022, it was in other ways!
A massive thank you to my dream clients for their continued support and trust in eveology .... and simply doing beautiful events and venues.
The biggest shout out to my dream team especially Pia and Lucy for everything this year. Thank you both soooo much.
Thank you to all the venues and industry colleagues involved in eveology events and your support.
I hope you have a happy and healthy Christmas and wish every success for 2024 and beyond!
Thank You
We love to share beautiful things. A sublime hotel discovery in Mykonos. Nestled in a stunning location, away from the islands legendary party hotspots … but close enough if you feel the urge.
The spectacular design has embraced its location creating a captivating village feel hugging the coastline with the most epic of swimming pools.
With an island blessed with so many luxury hotels, Cali has very strong competition but with its cool, calm and captivating design, the most charming and efficient staff and mouth watering taste sensations from its kitchens, this is a special find.
With just forty rooms and suites, a dream buy out potential for the right incentive event for your very own exclusive Mykonos village!

What is your favourite hotel I am often asked? My mind normally fumbles, whilst I try to name a single hotel. We event planners are lucky we get to experience so many fine venues, they generally blur, especially at my age! However, I think I've found one contender for the top spot.
Having just returned from the breathtakingly beautiful Tuscan hills, a huge shout out to the stunning Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel
Setting, style, food, service and all-around fabulousness. The client feedback upon leaving was of the highest order and departure day blues from a group like I've not experienced for a long time.
Thank you to my event partners Alina and the whole hotel team at Castello di Casole for a superb event experience. A huge thanks to my local DMC partners Andrea & Eugenia at Mutika EMC (plus their UK face Henriette) for all the support. Maurizio Marchini, the 'balcony singing Tenor' was an inspired idea for opening our weekend and the nicest guy! A super happy and proud event planner.

It wouldn’t be for a control freak, but what do you do when a precious client wants a special event and you’re already committed to other plans?
One … start with one the finest country house hotels. Hardly a blank canvas, but a stunning backdrop to create some extra event magic. Thank you Katie, Andrew, Lisa and the full Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa team.
Two … have complete and utter faith in your trusted team.My eveology team member and stalwart Pia executed my plans effortlessly. My design partner Melissa waved her magic wand and we transformed a stunning walled garden into a chic, boho, Mediterranean-style dinner set right out of the pages of Conde Nast.
Three - source the best suppliers and services to enhance the experience. From Croquet Martin, Activity Jayne, AV Alex & Olly, Lighting Matt, Vintage Hire Ginny, DJ Sacha, Monroe Duo and all others who played a part in a super weekend.
So I am super happy and proud to see our months of planning be beautifully executed. Thank you to all involved.

Most event agencies and planners like to show off their events on social media with smiley, happy clients and the end result. As it’s a given that I have happy, smiley clients 😀, my followers know I like sharing 'behind the scenes' .... with a big salute to my event partners and supporters.
The brief: 900 - 1000 managers. A big venue to host their first post-COVID day conference and awards dinner. 900 + bedrooms within walking distance. Production, entertainment, and the usual sparkle. Two hours to flip a conference space to an awards dinner. All paths led to the NEC.
With the show over (and very happy clients) ... the 'build' illustrates how it all comes together with great teamwork, super collaborations, and sheer hard work ... from a very big gang! I hope the client won't mind me sharing a glimpse.
Thank you to all involved ... you know who you are! I really did have a dream team.

During my final event of 2021, this past weekend, a colleague commented on the high number of suppliers and partners involved. I didn’t really give the observation much thought.
However, reflecting after a successful event at the culmination of another crazy year, where events and business, for some, is still fragile, it has been the most rewarding event to be around. With so many exceptional partners, suppliers, collaborators who delivered brilliantly with such a positive and grateful spirit, given the ups and downs of recent weeks, I am so happy to have partnered with each and every one.
From sparkly sequin tablecloth hire to disco-inspired furniture. Shimmer walls to Christmas ‘Gonks’. Video walls to a 'Night Fever' dancefloor. Stunning floristry and 'lights, sound, action' from brilliant AV partners. All arrived, delivered, and executed with smiley precision.
With a theme inspired by the glitter 'Queen of Kitchen Disco', Sophie Ellis Bexter, she returned from our virtual success of 2020 lockdown with husband Richard Jones for their surprise and infectious DJ set (AKA Me & Mrs Jones) followed by the super cool and talented DJ Sasha Brown.
Thanks to an amazing client, I am the luckiest and most grateful event planner to wrap each year in such style at The Savoy. To all my event partners, core team and suppliers – thank you for making me shine at this event!
To my industry and network, Happy Christmas and to a bigger, brighter and healthier 2022.

Spectacular Scottish Retreat
We've just wrapped one Scottish event, but we're super excited to be returning in just 10 days time for another! An exclusive house and estate on the banks of a stunning Loch. A fitting reward to celebrate outstanding performances at Kinross House Estate
