Our Story
The Luxury Event Planners was founded by Leanne and Tori, 2 mums who met on an app called Peanut during the pandemic (it's like Tinder for mums). Sharing their deep-rooted passion, and both with a strong background in events, and over 20 years experience; they became close friends, and began working together supplying entertainment to events. Tori also founded a highly successful entertainment agency called 'Just Talent' over 12 years ago. After just a couple of years of running this, she left her job to run Just Talent full time, where she delivered immersive, memorable event experiences for high profile brands. festivals, corporate clients, SME's, venues direct, and private clients around the globe.
In 2021, Leanne joined Just Talent, working alongside Tori, where she continued to grow the business, working with prestigious clients such as Google, Microsoft, Marks & Spencer, The Royal Lancaster, Nobu Hotel, Ibis, Radisson, Marriott and many more. As Just Talent grew, clients began to ask for more than just the entertainment, so it made complete sense to expand organically into a full service events agency. This is where 'The Luxury Event Planners' was born ... and the rest is history!

Meet the Founders
Victoria - CEO
Victoria's love for events blossomed at a young age, after being raised in the pub and club scene (with her parents being pub landlords). With a degree in drama and dance, she began her career as a performer, but quickly moved into the world of events. Starting her professional career in experiential marketing, she spent most of her weekends managing staff and production in muddy festival fields. She then transitioned into the world of recruitment for a short stint, followed by the world of corporate events.
Throughout the years of working full time she set up her own successful event agency, Just Talent, which she subsequently left her job to run full time just a few short years later. With her great energy and meticulous attention to detail, Victoria can take any event brief and turn it into a spectacular masterpiece!
