Joyner Events edward@joyner.events

I handle private events for brilliant independent restaurants.


About

Most independent restaurants can't justify a full-time events manager. So the enquiries, the deposits, the dietaries, the function sheets land on whoever is already running the floor.

Done right, one evening of events can earn a restaurant thirty new loyal customers: people who chose your venue to celebrate a moment that mattered in their lives.

I take the events inbox and run it, from first email to final bill. After a career in London restaurants, food runner to restaurant manager, I've ended up with an unusual mix: hospitality experience and a computer science background.


Working with me

  1. To start A chat How you run events now, and whether we'd be a good fit.
  2. Then Getting to know the place Spaces, menus, prices, terms, people, tone of voice. One document, approved by your team.
  3. The first month I run the events inbox, free of charge Working alongside your kitchen and front of house teams, and building your event tool as I go.
  4. At the end of it You decide You keep the document either way.
  5. From there We keep improving I fit around how you work, and the service gets better the longer we're at it.

The month is free because I'd rather you saw the work before we talk money.


My availability

I currently work with one long-term client in London, Cafe Linea in Chelsea. Now living in Llanon, I'm looking for one more: a venue in west Wales run by people who take pride in the experience they give their guests.

We're expecting a baby in October, so a full partnership would likely start in January 2027. Happy to talk before then.

Please send me an email if you're interested, I'd love to hear from you.
