With 10+ years of hosting an array of differing legacy events, either as passion projects or as memorials to loved ones, I am now putting my services out for hire.
Be it an alternative funeral wake (or 'afterparty'!) for someone who lived a life less ordinary, a memorial event, tribute night, or a specially themed birthday, I can curate and stylise your entire event, co-designed to suit your personal requirements, from start to finish.
For your event, we can co-design an aesthetic and I can create and install the decor to truly bring a flavour of the person into the soace.
I can assist with booking a suitable venue, can provide DJs, bands, poets, performers of all kinds, if required; and I am also able to link you to a celebrant for your unique, bespoke funeral service, in the style appropriate to honouring your loved one's memory.
You can view my very special legacy project Shy Talk Legacy which showcases an abundance of work related to an extra-ordinary, very special friend. This includes an archive of his accomplishments, a yearly music festival, and a beautiful mosaic portrait which I commisioned that includes his ashes in the grouting!
