Wedding and Event Manager | The Hoste
March 2021 - Ongoing
Venue based wedding and event planning including delivering all weddings for The Hoste. Responsibilities include: Processing and converting sales enquiries, point of contact for all wedding couples during the planning process and executing the whole day, including managing all staff, both agency and in house staff.
I’ve worked with Jade for the past 3 years at the Hoste Arms, firstly in the capacity of Events & Guest Services Manager and also once she became a self-employed events planner. I have always found Jade to be friendly, helpful, efficient and understanding of guest / client’s needs. She is always 100% dedicated to the task in hand and looking for ways to improve the client’s experience. I have found her to be energetic, creative, organised and a real asset to the team. If you’re looking for someone to take your event and run with it, to make it the best it can be then I would wholeheartedly recommend you get in touch with Jade
General Manager, The Hoste
On the day wedding Coordinator | Swaffham Assembly Rooms
April 2024
On the day wedding coordinator for Abby & Tiago's Bridgeton inspired wedding at Swaffham Assembly Rooms. Responsibilities included: creating a comprehensive function sheet, assisting and advising with set up, running the day including all suppliers.
Jade was hands down the best decision I made for my wedding, I could never have finalised my planning and executed the wedding of my dreams without her knowledge, support and guidance. My venue was beautiful but had no onsite co ordination team, and I had no idea on how I was going to structure the order of my day. Jade produced a full, in depth function sheet witb timings, details, contacts and outstanding questions to help me organise the things I needed to complete.
On the day, Jade was my beacon in the night. She was helping me wherever I needed, but she would be already noticing things and handling them before I had time to worry about anything, she didn't miss a trick!!!
Jade, you are an absolute star, you are so good at your profession and I genuinely couldn't have done it without you.

Commercial Event Manager | The Southbank Centre
October 2018 - October 2020
Energetic, ridiculously efficient, strong and an excellent addition to the team (She also baked and bought in homemade advent calendars). I had the pleasure of recruiting Jade at Southbank Centre, she made such an excellent impression at interview I can still remember it. The excellent impression never wavered, she continued to impress us on every project or event. Working with the team, but also always looking to improve process’ and generally make a better and more efficient environment to work in. I would recruit Jade again in heartbeat and would encourage any organisation to develop a role for her if they can, she will fill it and more.
Commerical Director, SbC
Southbank Centre is the UK’s largest arts centre situation on the bank of the River Thames. As a member of the commercial event team I delivered highly successful private events within this public building, all revenue generated feeds directly into to the arts programming. Events included The ITV Palooza, TedX Women & Cannabis Europa
Wedding & Event Coordinator | Kew Gardens
October 2017 - October 2018
Working in the Venue Hire team, I was one of four members of the operations team, delivering over 120 weddings and events a year in a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Jade is exceptionally efficient, productive and dedicated to her role. She has a very personable approach to running events and is able to quickly gain an understanding of the clients requirements and provide suitable recommendations for the success of the event. Jade's administration, preparation of paperwork and time management are of a high standard. Additionally she brings a friendly and vibrant personality with her which fosters a positive work environment.
Head of Events, Kew Gardens
Head of Events | Tate Modern
March 2024 - July 2024
Brought in as Interim Head of Events following a period of change in the team to work on Gucci Cruise 2024 as the operation lead on behalf of Tate Modern. Building relationships and best practices with internal teams. First point of contract for external production companies. Mentoring junior members of the team and improving processes.
Jade has been working with me and the rest of the team at Tate for the last 3 months as an Interim Head of Events. She walked in the door, learnt how to get around both Tate Modern and Tate Britain, took on (what I think) is the biggest event Tate has ever hosted, supported the move of our filing system onto SharePoint, left some amazing learnings with the team, then skipped out the door! She said it when I interviewed her in 2018 and it has remained the case – she gets s**t done.
If you need a event support in venue, client or agency side I can't recommend Jade enough - what a legend! Thank you!!
