Rachael joined Kings Place Events in 2008 when the building had just opened and hasn’t looked back since – her knowledge of the venue is impeccable and her dedication to delivering memorable events for her clients is visible to all who work with her.

Originally from Northumberland, Rachael studied Hospitality Management at Newcastle college. She then set her sights on something further afield and travelled to Chicago for six months to work at a 5 star Marriott Hotel and Resort, she loved the USA so much that she moved back, this time to Baltimore.

On her return to the UK she worked for Marriot again, starting as a Restaurant Supervisor and working her way up to Event Manager.

True to her roots, her favourite restaurant is in Newcastle and her favourite holiday destination is Boston.

Jemima’s favourite part of her job is always finding a way to make an event personal, whether that be through a themed cocktail to match a company’s brand colour scheme, or tailoring a wedding menu to reflect a couple’s favourite travel destination.

She moved to London in 2021, on completion of her 3 year course in Events & Festival Management at Bath Spa University. Before joining Kings Place Events, she started her career working at Rhubarb, running private birthday parties and then expanded her events repertoire to large corporate receptions and weddings. Jemima has had the privilege of hosting events in some of London’s famous landmarks such as the Natural History Museum, Kensington Palace, the Royal Academy of Arts, and many more. She has also worked closely with a range of high-profile clients and events.

Outside of work Jemima enjoys travelling, and has been to many European destinations, her favourite memory being when she went to Rome on a singing scholarship and sang in some of the world’s most beautiful venues including the Vatican and the Pantheon. This is just one of the reasons why she loves working at Kings Place, as she is surrounded by beautiful auditoriums, talented musicians, artists, comedians, and lecturers.
