Event Support provides practical, hands-on assistance across the planning, preparation and running of an event. Whether you need help bringing everything together from the beginning or simply an extra pair of capable hands on the day, my involvement can be tailored entirely to the occasion.

I can assist in the lead-up with planning and logistics, sourcing items, organising hire equipment, coordinating deliveries, liaising with venues, caterers and other suppliers, arranging last-minute errands, and keeping track of the many smaller details that need to come together before guests arrive.

Preparation can also extend to the home or venue itself. I can help arrange and style spaces, set tables, prepare guest areas, organise food and beverages, receive deliveries and suppliers, and make sure everything required for the event is in place and ready to go. For events held at home, I can also help prepare the household beforehand so that entertaining does not create unnecessary disruption around everything else.

On the day, I can remain involved wherever I am most useful. This may include welcoming or directing suppliers, assisting with setup, keeping food and drinks moving, helping with service, attending to guests, managing timing, resolving small issues as they arise, and generally keeping an eye on the event so the host does not have to.

Support is available for everything from intimate dinners and children's celebrations to birthdays, larger gatherings and professional or client-facing occasions. My experience across private households, events and private chef work allows me to move comfortably between the practical, hospitality and organisational elements involved.

Once the event is over, I can also manage pack-down, coordinate collections and returns, restore the home or venue, and take care of the remaining details so that hosting does not end with a long list of jobs once the guests have left.

The level of support is completely flexible. You may want someone involved throughout the entire process, or you may simply need me to step into the areas that are taking up the most time. Either way, the purpose is for you to remain the host rather than becoming the person managing everything happening around you.
