"Heléna is simply wonderful. From our very first meeting, we felt completely at ease and knew we were in safe hands. She really understood what mattered most to us and made the whole planning process feel fun, creative, and thoughtful. Alongside creating our perfect day, she brought a calm, reassuring presence meaning we could totally relax knowing everything had been taken care of. Her kindness and attention to every tiny detail made our day feel so special and so us. We are endlessly grateful for everything she did to make our wedding day the most wonderful day of our lives."

"Heléna was so attentive and calm throughout - no request was too big, no idea too silly or impossible."
- Jess & Leigh (wedding planning)
"From start to finish Heléna put together every important aspect of our big day, guiding us through every step. We had regular meetings to iron out the finishing touches, and if we had any questions (big or small) she was just an email away, replying swiftly, putting us at ease. Once our big day came around, we were both relaxed and confident that everything was in good hands, and of course it all ran smoothly."
- Holly & Dan (wedding planning)
"The planning process was simple and incredibly helpful. Heléna helped us every step of the way, she took all the stress out of wedding planning. She helped bring our ideas into fruition, nothing was too big or too small. On the day Heléna made sure everything ran seamlessly. I wouldn't change a thing."

I have known Heléna since she was about seven years old when she joined my Drama School. Heléna trained for Graded Acting Exams and Performance in our Acting Companies. She was an exceptional student; talented, creative and a high achiever. She won many top awards and excelled in her examinations. Her natural talent was greatly enhanced by her dedication and enthusiasm. She demonstrated intellectual curiosity, a quickness of mind and an ability to research, discuss and develop her work in depth. Performances were original, subtle, layered and engaging. The training she received significantly developed her communication skills so that she could work at top levels with her groups. She has excellent speaking and listening skills and was always willing to work and cooperate with everyone in her company or group. She can speak in public with clarity and relevance, engaging her audience with charm and charisma. She was always full of ideas and able to explain these clearly. Her “people skills” are therefore exceptionally good. She is able to convey her thoughts, listen to others and build creatively to achieve the best possible outcomes. As she is also a talented designer, the combination of her design and artistic creativity and her communication ability is outstanding. Heléna is also used to using advice, direction and guidance in a very positive way.
She has a commendable work ethic and channelled her energy into the projects, always arriving well prepared and organised. Heléna brought an enthusiasm and joy to her work combined with her positive attitude. She demonstrated a determination to persevere as she continually strove to improve her work. She is a grounded, well-rounded person with many skills. She is always respectful and inclusive in her dealings with others. Her emotional intelligence empowers her and makes her an outstanding team player. She was very well liked and respected. Kind, thoughtful and helpful.
I believe that she has all the qualities and intellectual ability for your organisation and and be a most valuable member of your team.
I have no hesitation in highly commending Heléna to your company.

During her time with us, Heléna was hardworking, reliable and a valued member of the team. She was excellent at sales and had a real strength in design and aesthetics, helping clients make confident choices. Heléna built strong relationships with both clients and colleagues and was always professional, friendly and a pleasure to work with. I would happily recommend Heléna and wish her every success in the future.
