Welcome to Event Connoisseurs
At Event Connoisseurs, we’re on a mission to celebrate and share the radiant, dynamic heart of the Caribbean with the world. Through our signature events and our free publication, One Caribbean Magazine, we bring you closer to the heart of Caribbean culture. We know that Caribbean traditions, customs, and values are more than just stories—they are the lifeblood of an unforgettable cultural narrative that continues to thrive in the UK.
The Caribbean is more than just breathtaking beaches, lively music, and mouthwatering cuisine—it’s a story of resilience, heritage, and community. We’re here to shine a light on the deeper aspects of the Caribbean experience, to ensure that this cultural legacy is not only remembered but also actively embraced and passed down through generations.
As cultural custodians, we take pride in fostering community pride, strengthening cultural identity, and promoting inclusivity. Our events are more than just celebrations—they are platforms for connection, dialogue, and shared experiences.

- Our Vision
At Event Connoisseurs, our vision is to showcase the authentic Caribbean—
Our goal is to foster harmony, trust, creativity, and understanding while strengthening the bonds within our community. By uniting Caribbean voices, we create opportunities for deeper cultural appreciation and long-lasting connections across generations.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Born from a passion for the Caribbean, Event Connoisseurs was founded with a clear mission—to curate events that genuinely reflect and honour our traditions. More than just event planners, we are community builders, committed to fostering a stronger and more unified Caribbean presence in the UK.
Though each island has its unique charm, we believe that together, we are even stronger. By celebrating our shared heritage, we pave the way for a more resilient and prosperous future.
Through our two signature events and our quarterly publication, One Caribbean Magazine, we offer something distinct for everyone. These experiences aim to engage, inspire, and build loyalty while deepening the connection to Caribbean culture.
We invite you to be part of this movement—let’s celebrate the richness of our heritage, together!
- Meet the founder
Think back to the last time you attended an event that left a lasting impression—one that inspired, moved, or uplifted you. That’s the kind of experience I set out to create every time.
I’m the founder of Event Connoisseurs, and my passion is bringing the best of the Caribbean to audiences in the UK. Our events are more than just gatherings—they are cultural milestones designed to unite, uplift, and celebrate our achievements and heritage.
With over 20 years of experience in event planning and management, I have had the privilege of curating high-profile events for corporate clients, private individuals, and government entities. My journey began in the 1990s as a Conference Administrator, where I quickly rose to become an Events Team Leader, managing large-scale events nationally and internationally.
One of my career highlights was my voluntary role with the Grenada High Commission in London, where I helped deliver the Grenada International Homecoming event (2012) – a truly unforgettable celebration on the beautiful island of Grenada. I also had the honour of organising the exit reception for the outgoing Grenadian High Commissioner, a moment that remains close to my heart.
At Event Connoisseurs, we have already successfully delivered two editions of the Spirit of the Caribbean Annual Ball in 2022 and 2024, celebrating the achievements and contributions of the UK’s Caribbean community. These events have set the stage for meaningful connections, cultural pride, and continued recognition of excellence within the diaspora.
BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITIES
At Event Connoisseurs, we’re not just about creating exceptional events—we’re about building stronger, more connected communities. Our mission is to unite the diverse Caribbean islands as one powerful, thriving collective.
We want those of Caribbean heritage in the UK to rediscover, embrace, and celebrate their cultural identity with pride. The Caribbean is more than just sun, sea, and music—it’s a story of resilience, innovation, and deep-rooted traditions.
