Hi I’m Rachael. I’m the perfectionist! I have 18 years of experience working within the hospitality industry, and have planned and managed every type of event from small meetings and weddings to international conferences and celebrity banquets. I will not compromise on attention to detail! I am truly passionate about running events and I’m so excited to be part of Giraffe Event Solutions. Doing what I love as a career is a dream come true!
