Events by Charlie

Whether you need someone to plan your event from scratch or simply take over on the day so you can relax and enjoy every moment, Charlie is there to make it happen seamlessly.

With over 30 years of professional experience, a Masters level distinction in Event Management, and a calm, warm approach that puts everyone at ease, Charlie personally manages every event. This is not a faceless agency; it is one dedicated, experienced professional who genuinely cares about making your day perfect.

From coordinating suppliers and managing timelines to quietly solving problems behind the scenes, nothing is overlooked. Pricing is completely transparent with no hidden mark ups or commission, and every client receives the same meticulous attention to detail whether it is an intimate dinner or a large scale celebration. If you want to hand your event to someone you can truly trust, Charlie is the safe pair of hands you have been looking for.

It all started with a little bit of magic.. In my twenties, I launched a children's party business across Sussex and London. I taught myself magic tricks, learned to spin plates, and perfected the art of the balloon giraffe! It was creative, chaotic, and I absolutely loved it. That playful beginning sparked a passion that has shaped the last 30 years of my life. From those early parties, my career grew into something I never could have imagined. High profile corporate events, glamorous charity galas, destination celebrations, and weddings that still make me smile when I think about them. Hosting and organising have always been in my blood. As an army officer's wife, I planned countless dinners, balls, and fundraisers. During our final posting at The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, I had the honour of hosting Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla, then the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, on two separate occasions.

My Clients describe me as calm, organised and completely on top of every detail, the person you want beside you in the final hour before guests arrive. I lead every event personally, building trusted relationships with hosts and suppliers alike.

Events by Charlie is intentionally selective. Every event is shaped personally by me, from the first conversation to the final guest leaving.

Today, backed by a Masters level distinction in Event Management, Marketing & Communications from the CIM, I bring 30 years of hands on experience, creative flair, and calm, meticulous planning to every event I take on. I am discreet, reliable, and completely dedicated to making your experience stress free from start to finish. No event is too big, too small, or too tricky. I will handle the spinning plates and sprinkle the magic. And who knows, I might even make you a balloon giraffe!

Our clients include couples planning their dream wedding, families celebrating milestone birthdays and anniversaries, charities hosting fundraising galas and dinners, corporate clients running conferences and exhibitions, and busy professionals who simply want to enjoy their event without the stress of running it. We are equally at home coordinating a relaxed garden party as we are managing formal occasions with high profile and VIP guests, always with the utmost discretion and attention to detail.
