🎧 EVENTS THAT MADE ME – WITH SURANNE JONES

Pinning Suranne Joness down was a challenge...

Behind the actress, author and producer is someone who fiercely protects her privacy, loves being at home and prefers a breakfast meeting to a night out.

But underneath it all? A huge love of music, theatre and performance.

From discovering singing as a child, to Coronation Street playing Karen and navigating fame.

A fascinating conversation about the woman behind the career, the moments that shaped it and what drives her now.

Big ideas are brilliant. But common sense makes them bankable.

In my event business, clients often tell me they want a “never-been-done-before” experience. A spinning carousel bar. A ch*****ne wall. A ballerina descending from the ceiling.

I love the ambition. I really do. But the magic only works when the foundations are solid. Because luxury does not mean chaos. Luxury needs logistics. Behind every showstopping moment, someone is triple-checking the power supply, the access routes, the staffing plan, the water supply, the timing, the risk assessment and, yes, the insurance.

That is the difference between a magazine-worthy event and an expensive disaster. We have all seen what happens when the vision is dazzling, but the basics are missing. Big promise. Big budget. No plan.

So yes, dream big. Push the brief. Raise the bar. Ask for the thing no one has done before. But also know when to rein it in, when to push forward, and ask yourself who is going to mop up the glitter at 3 am?

Common sense is not the party bore. It is the sharpest tool in the box.

✨ It cuts through the noise.
✨ It keeps the vision grounded.
✨ And it turns ambitious ideas into experiences that actually deliver.

At Liz Taylor Consultancy, that is what I help businesses and mentees do: balance bold thinking with practical decision-making, so the result feels effortless to the guest and commercially sound behind the scenes. If you are building something ambitious in hospitality or luxury events, reach out, and let's talk.

There's no doubt, wedding law reform will reshape the luxury wedding market

For luxury hotels, country houses and destination venues, greater freedom over where couples can legally marry presents both a challenge and a major opportunity.

The key point? Successful wedding venues have never simply sold a legal ceremony space.

They sell expertise, reassurance, hospitality and unforgettable experience — the very things couples still need, wherever the legal ceremony takes place.

For the best venues, reform should not be seen as a threat. It should be seen as a prompt to innovate, differentiate and lead.

In my latest blog, I explore what these changes could mean for luxury wedding venues — and how forward-thinking venues can turn reform into opportunity.

“You will have your audience eating out of your hands if you don’t just tell them facts, but make it interesting with stories and humour.”- Barbara Walters

🌟 I love this quote because it captures something I believe deeply: facts inform, but stories connect.

Whether I’m hosting an awards ceremony, chairing a panel discussion, or delivering a keynote, my focus is always the same — to engage the room, create energy, and leave people with something they remember long after the event ends. Because the best presentations don’t just run smoothly. They make people feel involved, inspired, and part of something bigger.

“It was my ex-husband who told me to write a book. You should read the chapter I wrote about him — it was f**king genius!”

Sometimes the best on-stage moments are the ones you simply cannot script.

Indulge me in a quick look back at one of my favourite events: Off the Cobbles at The Lowry Hotel, organised by the Variety Vixens in aid of Variety the Childrens Charity.

I had the joy of interviewing Cath Tyldesley and Sue Cleaver live on stage, and what followed was exactly what I love most about great events: honest conversation, brilliant stories, sharp humour, and a room full of people completely engaged in the moment.

We talked about our books, anxieties, Corrie memories, fears, fun, friendship, and all the unpredictable moments that make live interviews so special.

The room was packed, but it felt intimate — like sharing war stories with a hundred friends. That is the magic of the right guests, the right audience, and a conversation that is allowed to breathe.

✨ What can Marilyn Monroe teach us about business?
Quite a lot, as it happens.

I have a picture of Marilyn Monroe in my home, and it often reminds me of one of the biggest lessons I’ve learnt throughout my career: the brands we remember are the ones that make us feel something. Marilyn understood the power of a distinctive identity. She knew how to tell a story, embrace what made her different and reinvent herself - all the while, remaining unmistakably Marilyn.

There are some valuable lessons in that for any business:
✨ Know what makes you different
✨ Create an emotional connection
✨ Tell a story people can connect with
✨ Stay true to your values
✨ Don’t be afraid to reinvent yourself

After more than 35 years in events and hospitality, I’ve reinvented my own career many times... from event organiser to consultant, speaker, mentor, author and podcast host. And I don’t think this means losing sight of who you are. I think it means becoming more of yourself.

What will people remember about your business when you’re not in the room? Read the full blog via the link in my bio / https://www.liz-taylor-consulting.co.uk/index.php/2026/08/04/business-lessons-from-marilyn-monroe-what-her-brand-teaches-entrepreneurs/

🛋️ Creativity doesn’t always happen at your desk!

Sometimes the best ideas come when you slow down, step away from the to-do list and give your mind the space to wander. Whether that’s flicking through a magazine, taking a walk, visiting an exhibition or simply enjoying a quiet moment at home, I always find inspiration strikes when you’re not actively searching for it.

In an industry that’s constantly moving, making time to recharge isn’t just good for wellbeing... it’s an important part of staying creative, avoiding burnout and continuing to bring fresh thinking to every project.

So, as it’s , here’s your reminder that stepping back can often be the first step towards moving forward 💛
