The event organiser is cautiously confident in the return of celebrations. According to William, many people have saved money during the lockdown and have the funds to party in style. He tells us, "Last year was the year of the delayed weddings but we are now sensing an urgency for bookings and arrangements for this summer and beyond." William has been a familiar face for locals and visitors to Oxford for more than fifteen years. He started his career at the Bear Hotel in Woodstock at age 18 before quickly moving on to assist guests as the flamboyant head concierge of Oxford's five-star Randolph hotel on Beaumont Street. He is now busy drawing on his large professional network to form expert and colourful teams, ready to create and deliver exceptional events. William is Oxford's only member of the international group of elite concierges, Les Clefs d'Or, giving him access to top-class assistance around the world. He works with specialists such as chauffeur Jonathan Sayers, owner of Concierge Wedding Cars (pictured here with William). His little black book of trusted premier venues and suppliers includes caterers, tailors, milliners and photographers.
