Spear’s Review

Founded in 1960, Party Planners is thought to be the longest established bespoke events planning company in the UK. It was founded by Lady Elizabeth Anson (daughter of Princess Anne of Denmark, goddaughter to King George VI and cousin to Queen Elizabeth II) who at 17 years old started her own business.

Now under the watchful eye of managing director Harriet Webber-Jamieson, Party Planners is one of the most influential and recognisable players in the events industry. The team have organised showstopping parties in monastic ruins, Andalusian tavernas and some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including Spencer House, Lancaster House and Claridge’s, the latter of which hosted a garden party where Queen Elizabeth II was in attendance.

The firm made headlines in 2011 when Anson was called upon to assist in planning the reception for the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
