“I have been a Charity Auctioneer for 28 years working for all the UK's leading Charities. I have to date hosted in excess of 2500 Auctions all over the world and riased just shy of 300m. In 2018 I had the very great pleasure of working for and with Charlie Tomlinson, Events by Charlie, at the AMEX Stadium in Brighton, raising funds for the fight against MND. It was such a memorable night, and a joy to work. In my profession I hope and assume a client will be well organised and efficient, and ensure that I have all the tools to maximise the fundraising via the Live Auction. Charlie provided all of this in abundance and more. She ensured that I, and my partner Louise, were made to feel a valued part of a very special occasion. It still stands out as one of the most enjoyable nights I have ever worked. I am therefore thrilled to hear Charlie is about to launch her own Events Company - she was born to do this - and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to create a memorable occasion/event.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Events by Charlie to plan my 50th birthday celebration for 130 guests, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From our very first conversation, Charlie and the team made the planning process seamless and enjoyable. What could have been a stressful undertaking was instead an exciting journey, thanks to their professionalism, creativity, and calm approach. One of the things I appreciated most was how easy they were to work with. They took the time to understand my vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and brought everything together in a way that exceeded expectations. Communication was always clear and timely, which gave me complete confidence throughout the process. Their level of organisation was truly impressive. Every detail was meticulously planned, from the layout of the venue to the timing of speeches and entertainment. I was able to relax knowing that nothing had been overlooked. Equally valuable was their extensive network of trusted suppliers. Events by Charlie clearly has strong relationships with the best in catering, décor, lighting, and entertainment, which meant we had access to outstanding services without the stress of coordinating multiple vendors. Everything came together flawlessly. On the night itself, I was able to fully enjoy the celebration with my family and friends while the team ensured everything ran smoothly in the background. The feedback from my guests has been overwhelmingly positive, and I know it’s thanks to the expertise of Events by Charlie. For anyone looking to create an unforgettable event, Events by Charlie is the perfect partner.

Rupert Pughe-Morgan, 50th Birthday Party for 130 guests.

"Charlie is perhaps the most professional and yet most caring project manager I have ever worked with...and that is over 30 years delivering events and experiences. She works like a Trojan, clients absolutely love her, she cares deeply about the team and the outcomes, she thinks ahead, she bosses the detail and she is a joy to be around. What more could you ask for? The two large projects we have worked on together have been outstanding successes...and when we had the final dinner with the client she was the one they wanted to recognise and reward above everyone :)" .

Lorne Armstrong, Founding Partner, The Event Academy, Project & DMC Management, London

"I asked Events by Charlie to run my youngest son’s 18th birthday party for 150 people in my Sussex home - and it was a stunning success. Superbly organised from start to finish, great attention to detail, and centred around a fabulously unusual-shaped and very cool marquee that the young revellers absolutely loved. I didn’t have to worry about a thing, whether in the planning, on the night, or afterwards as Charlie and her team made sure everything was left exactly as they found it. All done at a very reasonable price. I’ve also used Events by Charlie to run a series of smaller house parties and dinners for me and been very impressed by her superlative levels of professionalism, dedication, and competence. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to have any kind of party, dinner or social event"

“Charlie was the entertainer at my seventh birthday party in 1989 and I can honestly say it was my best ever birthday party. Charlie, or 'Tooty Fruity' was completely brilliant at events, even then. She was glamorous, hilarious and we were all completely captivated by her. Thank you Charlie, for a truly magic party".

Her enthusiasm is infectious! Charlie always brings a positive attitude to the team, as a true team player who is continuously willing to help out and support her team. I particularly appreciated how she took a thoughtful and considered approach to her work, regularly looking for ways to improve our product by suggesting new ideas".
