My favourite decor piece is:
A customised neon sign on our silver sequin wall with disco balls - we had this at our wedding with our new married name in neon lights and it was the perfect party backdrop!

I studied:
Geography, Sociology, English & Dance

The best thing about my job is:
Getting feedback and photos from happy clients, I love seeing the vision come to life and hearing about how it all went.

The best party/event I've ever been to was:
My own wedding reception - if I'm allowed to say that! We had live vocals & sax from Tailored Entertainment musicians and the vibes were unbeatable, our white LED dance floor was packed all night and our guests are still talking about it now!

My favourite shade of balloon is:
Anything metallic, our reflex collection of silver and golds adds that extra wow factor to any colour combination.

When I got married I hired:
White 'LOVE' Letters as that's all I could find available, hence EJE was born! Now I would hire a package of items for the whole day...

  • Our 'To The Moon & Back' Neon Sign on Double White Mesh for the ceremony backdrop.
  • A Custom Neon Sign, 'The Smith's', on the White Frame for the Top Table backdrop.
  • Our 'All Of Me Loves All Of You' Neon Sign on Gold Diamond Frame for the Cake Table backdrop.
  • Our White LED Dancefloor, with White 'Mr & Mrs SMITH' Light-Up Letters and our Silver Sequin Wall with 'til Death Do Us Party' Neon Sign and some amazing balloons on this and across the venue.

...and all dressed with amazing florals!

I studied:
Sport & Exercise Science at UWIC (now Cardiff Met Uni, it was that long ago!)

The best thing about my job is:
Seeing items I have designed come to life on people's special days, and then hearing lovely feedback about the products and the amazing EJE Team!

The best party/event I've ever been to was:
My own wedding day! Having all my favourite people to party in one place is just amazing (helped by the most incredible band - 'The Magic Tones' from Tailored Entertainment)!

My favourite shade of balloon is:
I couldn't possibly choose just one - Lace, Cameo, White Sand or a bespoke 'double stuffed' shade of nude!
