If I was getting married I'd hire:
I'm getting married abroad in 2024 but at my reception back home I'll be looking to light-up my venue with an LED dance floor, neon sign on a silver sequin wall backdrop, and I'd spell our initials J & L in our amazing 4ft light-up letters!

I studied:
English Language, Sociology, Geography & Dance

The best thing about my job is:
Helping make people's visions of their special day come true. Getting feedback from customers who had an amazing time always puts a smile on my face, and I love seeing photos of our decor at weddings and parties!

The best party/event I've ever been to was:
V Festival 2013 - I waited hours right at the front to see Beyoncé and it was worth every single minute! Such an amazing performer and I just love the atmosphere and good vibes at a festival!

My favourite shade of balloon is:
I'm a big fan of neutrals so it has to be a combination of white gold, champagne and pearl white - they look beautiful together!
