The Grotto Dubai | Experiential (UAE)
Project Date: November 2024 – February 2025
Venue: Dubai Mall
Collaboration: Creative Events Collective, Emaar, Dubai Ice Rink and Dubai Mall
Role: Senior Event Project Manager
The Grotto is an immersive Santa experience to bring holiday magic and is the perfect outing for families. Found in only two locations in the world, this is a luxury Grotto experience and an absolute first of its kind in the region.
In a land filled with wonder and enchantment, where dreams come true and letters to Santa require a very special delivery. Families will journey through the Candy Cane Land and Enchanted Forest in search of Santa’s Merry Mailroom. Assisted by Santa’s Elves, challenges and tasks await them on this journey, whilst they embark on an adventure to deliver their very own letter to Santa in his cosy cabin.
In planning this extraordinary event, I was responsible for coordinating logistics and operations, sourcing and hiring staff, creating schedules, managing budgets, and overseeing supplier relations. During the live event, I led a team of 20, ensuring seamless guest flow, handling customer inquiries, managing merchandise, and maintaining close communication with key partners, including Dubai Mall and Dubai Ice Rink.
Following the event, I prepared detailed reporting and created a comprehensive playbook to document The Grotto activation, ensuring the success of future iterations of this magical experience
Checkout.com | Exhibition (EU)
Project Date: September 2022- February 2023
Where: Sweden | Latvia
Venue: Sergel Hub, Stockholm | IEC, Riga
Collaboration: Checkout.com, Sergel Hub and IEC
Role: Field Events Specialist
Checkout.com promotes its payment services globally by participating in key industry events. I conducted thorough research to identify the most impactful events for the sales team and collaborated with management to secure the most suitable packages. These packages typically included an exhibition stand, sponsorship opportunities, and a speaking slot.
I managed every aspect of coordination, including budgeting, vendor selection, event planning, tracking and reporting, lead nurturing, and organizing staff and speaker participation on-site. Effective communication with diverse internal and external stakeholders was essential daily. From overseeing collateral printing and approving graphics for stand construction to arranging furniture and preparing speaker presentations, I ensured every detail was expertly handled.
Summer Wedding | Special Event (UK)
Project Date: May 2022 – August 2024
Where: Cheshire, UK
Venue: Parkgate Farm
Collaboration: Multiple UK suppliers
Role: Wedding Planner
This wedding was the result of over two years of meticulous planning, ensuring every tiny detail was perfect. Set on a picturesque countryside farm and attended by 100 guests, it was truly an unforgettable celebration that received glowing praise:
“The best wedding I have EVER been to, and I’ve been to a LOT!”
Planning a wedding is no small feat—it involves supplier sourcing, regular meetings, budget management, and countless spreadsheets. Despite the challenges, I loved every moment of it—not least because it was my very own wedding!
The day reflected creativity and a deeply personal touch, with every element—from the custom stationery and decor to the entertainment—telling a unique story. Thanks to my exceptional organisational skills, clear communication, and unwavering attention to detail, the entire event ran seamlessly, leaving everyone with memories to cherish for a lifetime.
