Luxury Party Planners since 2003

Managing Director Ben Leeke launched Capability Events Ltd in 2003 as he saw a gap in the market for high end, bespoke private parties. 

It was a smart collaboration of all the contacts and knowledge that Ben had collated over the previous fifteen years organising events at large country houses and castle venues. Within two months clients included Virgin, The BBC, and a wealth of high end celebrities and private individuals.
