MEET

JESSICA

With more than a decade of event management experience, I’ve delivered countless high-end, large-scale celebrations in a wide range of venues. My passion for planning and all things party-related blossomed and grew while working in the events team at Hampton Court Palace.

​

As well as nurturing my deep love of history, working within a Royal Palace and its grounds strengthened my problem-solving skills and enhanced my creativity. Having handled the unique challenges associated with managing events in such a sensitive space, you can have complete confidence in my abilities. Whatever the occasion and wherever you’re planning to celebrate, I’m committed to finding creative solutions that meet your specific requirements.

​

As well as working within historic buildings, my experience extends to large outdoor events and luxury marquee weddings. I adore nature, so whether surrounded by rolling hills or dramatic coastal views, I’m in my element when planning events outside.

​

Known for my efficiency and attention to detail, I also bring positivity, energy and enthusiasm to everything I do.

​

I can’t wait to help you make some memories.

BEHIND

THE SCENES

When I’m not busy planning my next event, I can usually be found strolling through my woodland garden in Devon, accompanied by my husband and our lovely mini-labradoodle, Douglas. Or I'll be shopping and people-watching from our base in West London.

​

  • As well as beautiful old buildings, I love bottomless brunches, espresso martinis, and all things music and theatre.

​

  • I think dancing is hugely underrated. We should all do more of it! I let loose every year at Wilderness, complete with sequin trousers!

​

  • I dream of learning to fly and I plan to get my Private Pilot’s Licence before I’m 40.

​

  • I’m incredibly organised. Spreadsheets and lists are my idea of fun!

​

  • I also love to travel, especially to far-flung places. Next aspirations are Nantucket, Mauritius and returning to my all-time favourite, Rio de Janeiro.
