About The Little Top Team
Hello! I'm Susie and I started up The Little Top in 2013... After 15 years as a fashion designer and a trip round the world with my husband and 2 small boys, I decided to take a leap into the world of events.
​
After attending tons of weddings with my own children and finding them a pretty stressful experience for all of us, I realised that if the children were happy and entertained at an event, then the parents/ bride/ EVERYONE would be happy and relaxed, and every single person there would be able to thoroughly enjoy their big day.
The Little Top was launched to keep bringing smiles to faces, not just on the smaller guests but the bigger ones too, whilst adding some fun, creativity and style to family events.
​
We have expended, diversified, and taken on all sorts of projects, and now offer full event styling, research, planning, creation and production- from press launches to festival workshops, children's parties to boutique weddings and supper clubs.
We have a fantastic team and the best suppliers and passionate freelancers who are dedicated to making your occasion as memorable as we possibly can, and are constantly pushing creative boundaries to design and execute beautiful, happy, sustainable events and parties and bring magic to your memories.
​
I am aided and abetted by the fantastic team of superheroes below...
