Hi I’m Rachael. I’m the perfectionist! I have 18 years of experience working within the hospitality industry, and have planned and managed every type of event from small meetings and weddings to international conferences and celebrity banquets. I will not compromise on attention to detail! I am truly passionate about running events and I’m so excited to be part of Giraffe Event Solutions. Doing what I love as a career is a dream come true!

Interests and Hobbies
When I’m not planning events there is nothing I like better than the challenge of hiking to the top of a fell or mountain and taking in the views. I also love travelling, cats, socialising with friends and experiencing new hotels and restaurants. Oh and drinking Shiraz! Cheers!!!
