If chair covers and set menus are your thing… we might not be the right fit.
I’ve spent most of my career in events — from high-volume hotels and city venues to weddings, fundraisers and everything in between — and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that the best events are never the ones that follow the rules or the trends.
I first worked with Ellie freelancing at pop up weddings around Sheffield and then as the Wedding Coordinator at Abbeydale Picturehouse. It didn’t take long to realise we had the same approach: less copy-and-paste packages, more “let’s make something that actually feels like you”.
Between us, we’ve delivered hundreds of events across all kinds of spaces — from polished venues to places that definitely weren’t designed to host a wedding (which are often the best ones). I’ve led teams, managed budgets, handled last-minute curveballs and kept things running smoothly behind the scenes so that, on the day, it all just works. No drama. No panic. Just a lot of quiet problem-solving and a calm and approachable resource on hand.
These days, alongside Indie Events, I lead on fundraising and events within the charity sector — which means I’m used to making a lot happen, often with limited time, tight budgets, and plenty of moving parts. It’s made me resourceful, quick-thinking, and very good at figuring things out on the fly (usually with a cup of coffee in hand).
Coming back as Indie Events (you might have known us in our Inner City Weddings era!) feels like getting the band back together — just with more experience, better instincts, and a slightly lower tolerance for nonsense.
I’m not here to tell you what your day should look like. I’m here to help you figure out what you actually want — whether that’s a warehouse party, a relaxed outdoor celebration, or something that doesn’t quite fit into a category — and then make it happen without the stress.
No fluff. No unnecessary traditions. No pretending you care about things you don’t.
Just a really good day, done properly.
Clients tend to describe me as calm, straight-talking and someone who just quietly gets things sorted — which, when everything’s moving at once, is exactly what you need.
