Tom and the Great British Events HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Tom and the Great British Events Company came to my rescue setting up two parties two weeks apart this summer - my son s 21st and our house-leaving party I had been let down by another company and so suddenly had little time Tom and GBEC were absolutely brilliant from the get go From designing an invitation not part of their original remit sorting out the best marquee music food drink entertainment photographer and anything else I needed in a short space of time The result was two fabulous very successful parties Tom is absolutely lovely to work with - organised efficient but also unflappable and always smiling and ready to help with whatever I asked his help with He has great initiative along with all his experience and excellent contacts in the business Importantly we always worked in a very collaborative way and he was very keen that I got exactly the party I wanted Moreover he wanted to know afterwards if there was anything that hadn t come up to scratch in case there was anything he could improve for future parties I couldn t recommend Tom and the Great British Events Company more highly if you re looking for help to create a brilliant and memorable party

The absolute best birthday party
I asked GBEC to manage my 40th birthday party with 70 guests after meeting Tom and finding his enthusiasm infectious and I am so glad I did Tom helped me work on my early ideas for the party to get a consistent theme gave me a carefully curated menu of some great ideas of his own and was responsive to even the most demanding and specific requests taking a huge amount of stress out of the planning process and enabling me to realise my ambition for a perfect party The suppliers he worked with were all absolutely top notch from the party tents and garden games to the delightful bar staff and the exceptional caterers On the day Tom himself was hyper-attentive whether gently corralling the guests for the different events through the day or just watching over and anticipating needs before they arose Many guests commented on the organisational magic he performed that day Thank you Tom and GBEC for a perfect party I m ALMOST looking forward to my 50th

UNREAL
I have one word for Tom his team his vision his organisation thoughtfulness and care - UNREAL I set Tom a challenge on a shoestring budget for 500 attendees and he pulled off the most incredible event after other events companies would not even consider it Tom s diligence oversight on the night and ability communicate so effectively that every single piece fell into place from security to the acts to me is extraordinary I have been hosting events at my company for 17 years and have been told that this year was the BEST We cannot thank Tom enough for turning a blank space into an immersive fun and fantastic party Tom s chef Stewart created a feast that had many returning for seconds or thirds we had a bar to beat all bars thrilling entertainment and waiters on hand making sure we were topped up all night Buttons the singer had the dance floored filled singing classics and the arial artist and drummers added a true wow factor It was seamless and fun and having Tom attend and assist meant for the first time in a long time I could enjoy the party rather than run around all night I cannot recommend The Great British Events Co enough if you are looking for someone to take your ideas and make them happen and add some extra flair Tom is your man
