Meet the team
Hi, I'm Beth, the Weddings and Events Coordinator at the theatre.
Before moving into wedding and event planning, I worked as a performer, giving me a real appreciation for creating memorable experiences and bringing people together. Around five years ago, I made the move into events and weddings, and I haven't looked back since.
I love helping couples bring their vision to life, from the smallest details to the bigger picture. Whether it's a unique theme, a personal touch, or a special moment that reflects your story, I enjoy turning ideas into unforgettable celebrations and seeing everyone having a wonderful time.
When I'm not planning weddings and events, you'll usually find me singing, dancing, or meeting new people. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of such an important day in our couples' lives and love helping create memories that will last a lifetime.
