My career started in Television and Drama believe it or not. During and after my studies I went into the television and theatre industry; I was bossing it as a true detailed planner, loving location, casting, production research, and logistics. Enjoying the elements it takes to run a set and production. 

I moved into the events industry in 2017, as I became one of the first in the Canterbury area to co-produce a TEDx Conference which brought together a programme of 8 speakers in front of a live audience as well as an interactive exhibition space at The Gulbenkian Theatre. I invested time into my event planning skills from 2018 - 2020 while working for Park Holidays on a Holiday Park in Whitstable (where I met my business bestie, Judy, who I run Blooming Roza with). I worked on the park while studying for my Masters in Marketing and Business and was busy organising our Holiday Owner themed parties which would cater for and entertain 500 guests at a time! I honed my skills in coordinating elements of elements of hospitality, entertainment ,and event dressing, as well as event administration, and I loved every second of it. 

We covered some amazing themes including The Great Gatsby, The Greatest Showman, Las Vegas, Oktoberfest, and many more, transforming our humble venue into an incredible event space to suit every occasion. Since leaving this role I have worked on building Blooming Róża, alongside leading on my wedding planning for my own nuptials! After much disruption from the pandemic we eloped and then had a Midsummer Nights Dream themed vow renewal in a disused military fort; that was one of my best logistical challenges to date! It was an amazing event for sure. 

I now have the privilege of working in the events industry, taking on a variety of clients to ensure their events are as memorable and fun as they envisioned. I enjoy planning a range of event types from intimate dinners, to large catered parties, and awards evenings. I am also a wedding planner! (for more on this click here)

For the host who wants to have a hand in planning their event but also needs someone to take care of the run-up to the event. 

Partial event planning is similar to event day coordination, however, the key difference is an event planner is more involved with your plans to help you finalise any 'last minute' requests. The planner is also there to attend your final meetings with suppliers and make sure everything is present and correct.

• Up to 6 hours of virtual pre-event consultation appointments. We can also arrange a face-to-face meeting in person before the event day.

This type of event planning support really comes into its own if you have booked a unique venue that is a bit out there… like a field or a 200-year-old military fort (which is what my husband and I settled on as a vow renewal venue in 2022 after eloping!). After working in the events industry for half a decade, I am well-positioned to deal with the unique and wacky! Actually, I say the more ‘out there’ the better. After all, it’s fun to create something that really represents you or your company and is something everyone will remember for years to come!
