In 2021, Camille joined our live online Diploma in Wedding Planning course with renowned planner Siobhan Craven-Robins. Studying virtually meant she could remain in Margate — while still gaining direct access to Siobhán, industry guest speakers, and a network of like-minded peers.

Camille attended optional in-person networking events in London, made meaningful connections — and began carving out her place in the events world. Today, Camille is the Events Manager at Turner Contemporary, where she curates experiences at one of the UK’s leading contemporary art spaces. A reminder that the right learning environment can open doors — no matter where you are. ✨ Alongside her role, Camille continues to embrace her creative roots: “As a dedicated Wedding and Event Stylist, I specialise in creating bespoke experiences that reflect each client’s unique vision.
