Delivering a festival 38 floors high in the sky in the Heron Tower was a career highlight. It was a logistically complicated yet highly creative event which made it all the more rewarding.

Best Event

How do you pick one? I’ve loved working on so many amazing events but one highlight includes a charity dinner at the Natural History Museum involving Sir David Attenborough, just seeing the amount of money raised for such an incredible charity puts everything in perspective and makes all the hard work worth it!

Proudest Event Moment
This is very hard to choose. I’ve been lucky enough to work in some incredible venues and I love seeing how a space is transformed for an event. One of my favourites has to be transforming an industrial warehouse into a totally immersive enchanted forest theme, where almost everything was edible – even the trees!

Best Event

We did a private summer party for a client at his home and grounds in September. It was my best event as it was the most creative that I’ve been involved with and consisted of a 2-day glamping site for 100+ guests, a custom-built giant Narnia wardrobe filled with 80 faux fur coats, a funfair, faux elephant and so much more. I built a very intricate rig plan and worked with the most suppliers I’ve ever worked with for one event. It was the longest I worked away from home and the entire setup was done in the heaviest rain. However, we pulled off a successful event, the client was happy and all of the furniture and décor I had ordered, were all accounted for, which (rather sadly) was my biggest success of the weekend.

Best Event
My all time favourite event was planning a luxury jewellery showcase with Harrods. This was such a special event to be involved in as it was the first time the world famous store’s jewellery was being displayed in an external venue. The event featured over 100 trees, 4.5 miles of cabling and a rainstorm – it was definitely one to remember!

Emily has a background in event management and photoshoot production. With a degree in fashion marketing, she loves getting stuck into a creative proposals and theming concepts. Nothing beats the buzz of seeing it all come to life! When she’s not busy selling events, you’ll probably find her two-stepping at a festival, hopping on a plane to somewhere exciting, or fueling up on good food (because balance, right?). Running also helps keep her sane – gotta make room for all those foodie adventures!

Best Event

It has to be Wood’s Quay and the Silver Sturgeon. This place oozes luxury and is one of London’s most unique event spots. Picture this: the sun is shining, an Aperol in hand, and your own private yacht on the Thames—basically, a holiday without the airport chaos. The latest addition, Wood’s Quay, takes it up a notch with its ‘Private Island’ vibe, featuring the gorgeous deck and a sleek boat alongside. Talk about a dreamy setting!

Iona has a wonderful background within catering, hotels and events and loves nothing more than working with clients to bring their dream event to life!

Best Event

There are so many to choose from as I have been fortunate enough to work in some fantastic venues with amazing clients. The best moment for me has got to be building, nurturing and maintaining a relationship with a wonderful client who contracted an extravagant 4-day conference and reception event to the venue in 5 days of receiving the brief. It was amazing to see the joy on the client’s face when this event came to life.

Our Operations team has expanded and we would like to introduce you to the newest member of the team, Robyn, who has joined us as a Senior Event Executive.

Proudest Event Moment

I think my proudest event moment would be working on an awards scheme for the regional press industry. It was a very difficult project with a lot of moving parts and is in a very complex industry, I took the challenge head on and delivered a very successful awards scheme and luncheon.

Best Event

During a Work Experience week with Story Events, I was lucky enough to work on a corporate Summer Party which took place on a boat down the Thames. I had so much fun working with the onsite team, helping theme the Silver Sturgeon venue and ensuring guests were happy throughout. We had a BBQ catering company on the outside deck and Capital FM Radio DJ’s performing on the boat who were both great to work with! It was the first event I ever really worked on, and a great one at that. It certainly confirmed for me that I wanted a career in Events.
