Jack and Leon

I’m brimming with creativity and ideas that will help bring your event to life. I am an experienced and enthusiastic party planner, decorator and floral stylist who has enjoyed a very fulfilling career that has led me to where I am today. With a significant background in film and TV production, I spent many years setting up film and TV shoots, styling sets as well as styling diverse events.

I am an experienced location manager so I find and manage locations/venues for shoots and events – from castles and listed homes to the perfect green paradise. I also style the locations/venues, source and hire relevant props, and manage the logistics of people getting to the locations/venues. It’s a handful – but I love every aspect of it! I also manage events during a shoot or live events and make certain that everything runs smoothly and without a hitch. I will hire relevant contractors, and manage their movement and requirements before and on the day of the shoot or event. With my experience, anything can happen so I am flexible in my approach and always have a plan B in place. I am also aware of the health and safety requirements when working on locations and at venues, and it informs all my decisions.

A recent project that I work on was for Virgin Media where 400 people would be attending. I was the project manager and it was my job to source all the props and decoration required to style the venue. I was provided with a budget and it was important to stay within this, so there was negotiating and relationship building with suppliers to make this happen.

I organised all the print and design, along with catering, wardrobe, hair and makeup contractors. I also sourced the hotel for this project and negotiate a good deal for all the guests and crew.

I had a lead time of 2 months. The project was very challenging because of all the moving parts, but it was successful and the client was very happy with the outcome.

I also worked on a bridal shoot, and it was my job to source the venue, decorate the venue and arrange the floral arrangements. I had a lead time of about 2 weeks. This project came together really well and the shoot was delivered on time and on budget.
