Overview

Rebecca founded Little Umbrella Events in June 2023 to offer freelance event management and coordination services after moving to Liverpool. With over 10 years of experience, she has planned everything from conferences, dinners, and virtual events at the University of Cambridge to public outreach activities and sporting events for Europe’s largest wildlife conservation charity, the RSPB. Rebecca is an award-winning business consultant and holds a first-class degree in Events Management, which complements her extensive hands-on experience. Her passion for organising events started at 15 with a school fashion show, and since then, she has honed her skills creating seamless and memorable experiences. Little Umbrella Events was born from her love of helping others plan stress-free weddings, celebrations, and professional events, ensuring every detail is taken care of so clients can truly enjoy their day.

Little Umbrella Events specialises in delivering expert event management and consultancy services with a focus on sustainability and inclusion, tailored to organisations and individuals. We offer quality, yet affordable advice and planning services for all types of events, ranging from gala dinners and corporate conferences to weddings, private parties, and creative community workshops.
