Garden Party
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.
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. Many thanks Tom and all the team!

30th birthday – mexican fiesta
Tom was sensational at planning my 30th birthday of dreams! He was super attentive, prompt at communicating and thought of all the tiny details and finishing touches to ensure that the night ran smoothly. All of the Great British Events team were super friendly, enthusiastic and I will definitely be recommending them to all of my friends and family organising future celebrations. Thanks Tom and team!

Reboot the 20’s – Immersive experience
Great British Events supported us in preparing the most spectacular of themed work party events – a 1920s themed party in Reading for c. 400 people.
Tom sourced fantastic decorations, working closely with the venue and pulled together an outstanding entertainment schedule for the night including a live casino, multiple dance troupes, multiple music acts, and more.
Throughout the build up to the event, Tom was great at keeping in touch with our organising committee, and open to discussions on ideas throughout. In particular we appreciated how Tom kept in mind our budget manage to exceed our expectations without exceeding the budget!!
On the night Tom worked exceptionally hard to ensure everything ran smoothly, including being on site 24 hours early to coordinate the preparation. Everything went off without a hitch.
Overall we were thrilled with the work done by Great British Events and we would definitely use them again for future events.

21st Birthday
Fantastic experience. Tom did a super job, making the whole party very relaxed for me, indeed!

summer conference
Worked with Tom to plan and deliver a distinct, high impact corporate event on a very tight timeline for circa 150 people.
The final product was excellent and working with Tom (and team) was the least stressful part of a stressful process! Communication was clear throughout and the team quickly aligned on my vision.
I have also been a participant at a few events involving the Great British Events Company and experienced the same high standard.

christmas party
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.

Venturesfest ii – year end conference
We booked Great British Events Company for an event for 250 attendees. Tom was great and very helpful. The company was able to accommodate last minute changes and guided us throughout the planning process. We trust their service and would 100% recommend their service for any small/medium/large events.

Rosie and Oscar Wedding
We decided we need some support with the planning and running of our wedding day, but it wasn’t until we started working with the Great British Events company that we realised how much help we needed!
The guys there were coming up with ideas we’d never even thought of, and they turned every single one into a reality.
Honestly, best decision ever, took away every bit of stress so we could have the best day ever.

Kim & Will Wedding
We enlisted Great British Events to plan our wedding reception and had a great experience. Tom understood the brief immediately and came back with several options that perfectly matched what we wanted. He made time to meet with us and tour the venue, as well as asking all the right questions about the day and venue (which we did not think of due to lack of experience). Everything ran completely smoothly and we were able to enjoy our big day thanks to Tom’s hard work. Thanks Tom!!
