Experiences

I cannot recommend Pippa highly enough! She was truly AMAZING in helping me organise my 50th birthday celebration. From start to finish, she stayed within my budget and offered incredible suggestions that made my day everything I had envisioned and more.

Pippa completely understood my brief for a luxe party to mark this momentous occasion – it was like she got inside my head! She handled every detail, allowing me to relax and enjoy the lead-up to the event and the day itself without any stress. Her ideas for the perfect venue and themed drinks suited my vision beautifully, and her execution was flawless.

She was always available when I had questions or jitters, and her reassurance made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. Thanks to her expertise and attention to detail, my party was a huge success, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

If you’re planning a special event, do yourself a favor and hire Pippa! Having her as my planner was worth every penny, and I can’t wait to work with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Pippa, for making my 50th birthday an unforgettable experience!
