Business Challenges
No matter the scale of our ambition or where we are on our business journey, we all, at some point, encounter hurdles to clear or a fork in the road that we’re just not sure how best to navigate.
You may be facing the daunting task of delivering an event much larger than anything before. You need some help navigating the intricacies of logistics, production, and execution, ensuring that your event not only meets but exceeds everyone's expectations.
Or perhaps you're grappling with a unique business challenge and need to refocus your efforts, but you’re struggling to find clarity and direction.
Over the last 16 years, I've honed my craft, dealing with every challenge imaginable. As a wedding business coach, my mentoring services are designed to empower you to overcome your challenges and surpass your goals.

I’m here to offer a friendly ear, a seasoned perspective, and an impartial view to help you make those crucial business decisions.
My Journey
My career in this industry started in 2008 with a blend of creativity and business savvy. I initially immersed myself in the world of venue styling before launching my own wedding planning business 13 years ago. I eventually shifted my focus solely to planning after selling my styling business to a major production company.
However, before my wedding & events journey, I worked in the financial services sector, deep in the realm of investment banking and commercial insurance at some of the top financial institutions in the UK.
Sounds like a strange transition, right? But that experience armed me with valuable skills, such as managing clients, dissecting profit-and-loss accounts, and mastering margins—skills that translated perfectly into the world of events and, of course, running my own business.
Over the years, I have travelled all over the UK and ventured overseas, planning and producing over 120 events, totalling a staggering 50,000 hours of planning. That’s a lot of late nights and early mornings! Along the way, I’ve encountered innumerable obstacles, wrestled with self-doubt, and often benefitted from having a trusted sounding board and business mentor of my own.
Together
With a wealth of experience and down-to-earth approach, I’m dedicated to being your trusted advisor, your confidante. Passionate about authenticity, I am here to help you stay true to yourself while achieving your business goals.
