About Me & The Heart Behind
Spire Wedding Fayres
Our Story
Before I ever stepped into the wedding world, I worked full-time in the BT corporate environment and I knew, deep down, it wasn’t where I was meant to be. I was the organiser, the planner, the person who loved bringing people together, but my day-to-day life didn’t reflect any of that. I felt boxed in, craving something more creative, more meaningful… something that felt like me.
The turning point came from the most unexpected place, a colleague mentioned an auction selling wedding items. I didn’t win the main auction (I didn’t even have the money to compete), but I placed a few small bids… and those tiny purchases sparked something much bigger.
That was the beginning of Phoenix Wedding & Event Hire.
I built that business from the ground up, auctions, car boots, fundraisers, fayres, slowly collecting stock, building confidence and finding my place in the wedding world.
What started as a side hustle became the thing that lit me up.
Then voluntary redundancy came around at BT. They’d offered it before, but the timing was never right.
This time, pressing that button felt like the clearest “yes” I’d ever made. And with that decision, Spire Wedding Fayres was born, the piece that completed the picture.
