Meet Gillian – Our Commander-in-Chic
Some women collect shoes — Gillian collects unforgettable moments. As the founder of Blue Velvet Events with over 15 years’ experience in events, she scripts the kind of nights people whisper about for years. With a designer’s eye and a planner’s precision, she leads the team that transforms blank spaces into stories — glittering, glamorous, and deeply personal.
Gillian believes in capturing moments in time to be remembered long after the celebration is over.
But there’s more to Gillian than petals and prosecco. When she’s not styling soirées, she’s championing rhino conservation, caring for orphaned calves with the same heart she pours into her work.
Behind every Blue Velvet event is a heart full of purpose, a calendar full of celebrations, and heels made for dancing ‘til dawn.
Courtney – Senior Event Planner & Mastermind of Magical Moments
If every event is a stage, Courtney’s the director calling “lights, flowers, action!” A true creative spirit with a flair for the dramatic (in the best way), she’s been bringing a touch of theatre to every celebration since 2016 — layering detail, imagination, and a sprinkle of magic into each scene.
For Courtney, a theme isn’t just a guideline, it’s an invitation to dream bigger. Her approach is anything but ordinary. The secret? A wildly inventive mind, a deep love for storytelling, and a unique ability to turn even the simplest space into a full-blown experience. Her love of animals (especially her fur babies) and all things Hogwarts infuses her work with warmth, wonder, and just the right touch of whimsy. Courtney’s events aren’t just memorable — they’re mood-shifting, joy-sparking, and unmistakably hers.
Danielle Farrell – Senior Event Planner & The Adventure Lover in Chief
With nearly 15 years in the events industry, Danielle brings a rare mix of meticulous organisation and infectious energy to the Blue Velvet team. From slick corporate functions to wild, wow-factor celebrations, her eye for detail ensures nothing is overlooked—except maybe her next coffee break. Known for her calm under pressure, she’s the go-to for turning creative chaos into perfectly polished events.
Thriving on meeting challenges with precision and a little bit of adrenaline, whether managing a bustling event floor or scaling a cliff on the weekend. Equal parts event ninja and outdoor explorer, her adventurous spirit fuels her work—because if she can navigate a cave in the dark, she can definitely handle your event with style.
