Hi, I’m Jo Phillips, Founder of Bespoke by J.
I create intimate, beautifully considered events designed to feel effortless. Through thoughtful planning and refined styling, I help busy families slow down, celebrate and enjoy meaningful moments together — without the stress of organising every detail.
Based in Cheltenham, I work across the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire and surrounding areas, offering bespoke event planning, tablescape styling, food styling and concierge services tailored to each client and occasion.
With a background as a Director of Marketing, I bring a sharp eye for detail, a customer-first mindset and a natural instinct for creating experiences that feel personal rather than overproduced.
Food sits at the heart of my work. It’s where connection, conversation and memory begin, elevated with thoughtful details, layered textures and styling that guests genuinely remember.
If you’re looking for a calm, trusted event planner in Cheltenham or the Cotswolds to curate something special, I invite you to book a personal consultation.
My Approach
3 core principles at the heart of everything I do
Food
This is central- it’s what people remember most and serves as a natural focal point for connection and conversation
Personal Touches
Ensure the event feels truly unique. These can reflect the host’s style, allowing them to be present in the moment, or be thoughtful details for guests to take away and remember the experience.
Texture
Brings fun and depth to any setting. Incorporating elements like luxurious linens or rich satins elevates the visual and tactile experience, making each design feel more immersive and memorable.
