"Lavinia is ideally suited for the Corporate events market and is able to combine creativity, atmosphere and effect within the realms of a realistic budget.
Attention to detail and time management are her strengths which she combines with a great temperament and a manner that puts senior people at their ease."
Peter Motley, Chief Executive, The Business Network East Midlands
“I was completely blown away by the professionalism of the Halloween night, organised by Sapphire Events. The quality of the props and staging were phenomenal and every ounce of effort put into the preparation showed, not only through the decor but also the lively and engaging atmosphere it created. It still sends a shiver down my spine thinking about that graveyard!”
Lianne Corriette, IHG Group
"Anyone who has never organised an event will never realise how much work is involved. The organiser of Saphire Events, Lavinia's total concern is for the satisfaction of both her exhibitors and attendees. Great care was taken to make this event enjoyable for all. A great job and very well done. I can't remember when I've enjoyed one more - other exhibitions don't beat the enthusiasm with which this was delivered."
Joze Henderson, Red21
"Sapphire Events were extremely efficient and friendly in organising our Charity Christmas Party at Blotts Country Club in December 2010."
Heather Hoskin, Cancer Research UK
"When it comes to organising and hosting successful business events, Lavinia Pavis is the ultimate professional.
As a conference speaker and event MC, I've seen nobody better to work 'front of house' for your event and provide a compelling first experience for your guests.
And if you're considering a themed extravaganza or high level corporate event, that's when she comes into her own as a creative, professional and wonderfully engaging partner to really make it happen.
Lavinia is one of the best in the business!"
Rob Brown, Motivational Speaker & Conference MC, Chair of East Midlands Networking Forum
"As I walked in, I thought wow, polar bears, white christmas trees and snow, it was magical and the live singer amidst it all brought the whole thing together!
It was obvious Lavinia had worked very hard at every detail, making it stress free from an exhibitors perspective. I enjoyed browsing the other stands selling some lovely and original gifts, well done on a great event!"
Anne Turner-Harrod, The Service Tree
"Lavinia Pavis is an extremely likeable and easy person to work with. She is full of ideas and initiative. She has a great passion, drive and flair for Event management which always guarantees that her events are well run and fantastic fun. Sapphire Events has shown great commitment to supporting its local hospice, Treetops. At the Sapphire Events Winter Wonderland Christmas Fayre an incredible £1,004.85 was raised and donated to the Treetops Hospice Ripple Appeal. I'm extremely grateful for their support."
Kate Shaw, Treetops Hospice Ripple Appeal Manager
“My husband and I were amazed at the Hawaiian Theme back drop, and props, including real palm trees, sand and a surfing simulator; we really felt as though we could be on an exotic Island. It was great fun and there was laughter all night long. We would recommend Sapphire Events to anyone wanting something out of the ordinary.”
Maxine Archer, Nottingham
"It was great to support you Lavinia by photographing this event. The room and theme looked fantastic and the exhibitors that attended all had fabulous products which attracted so many visitors. It was fabulously organised and hosted, we look forward to being able to support you in the future."

"As an exhibitor, Lavinia made the event very easy to attend with very little fuss and not much paperwork! She went above and beyond to accomodate my requirements, I would definately consider working with Sapphire Events again."
Nicola Read, Contemporary Artist
"What an amazing night, I didn't expect to enter a venue that had a beach, surf simulator and palm trees. Sapphire events had thought of everything to give it that ‘Hawaiian feel' and to ensure that guests experienced a unique night. I had lots of fun and look forward to the next event and wouldn't hesitate in recommending Sapphire to anyone who would like an event that stands out from any other!“
Joanne Burke, Boots UK Ltd
“The Hawaiian themed event was such good fun – Lavinia really did pull out all the stops and the night was full of surprises! It surpassed all our expectations and a truly memorable night was had by all. Sapphire thought of everything and the attention to detail was brilliant - from the venue itself to props, arrival cocktails, themed music and of course the surf simulator! We are big fans of Sapphire Events and are looking forward to the next one!’’
Peter Burke & Kelly Barker, CBF International
“It is common knowledge that Halloween events tend to be the same thing, year in, year out....But, this year was something different! Sapphire Events hosted what I would describe as a stunningly unique and memorable event in the heart of Nottingham. Starting with the venue, Sapphire transformed the design and ambience of the riverside club into an amazing theatre of gothic chills and grandeur....Boasting its own graveyard and headlining DJ, the evening was elevated to new heights with its own fitting Soundtrack ...In our fantastic costumes, we revelled until the early hours, at which point we moved to the 'after-party' this kept the beat and rhythm of the night flowing. In total, a great night had by all”
Neil Casey, Oracle Corporation
"We were really impressed with the Halloween night. The dusty, cobweb infested graveyard as the centre piece, really gave us the creeps and added to the scary atmosphere. Everyone went to great effort with the costumes and we both really enjoyed the night."
Lindsey and Andrew Regan, Nottingham
