Colin Richman

Managing Director

Colin

Colin has been running Planned 2 Perfection since 2002, transforming it from a boutique entertainment business to a full service production and event management company.

Highlight

“A highlight for me was a series of events produced over a period of 10 years for the same client. Starting with his 60th birthday party and continuing with his wedding, his 65th and 70th birthday parties, his daughter’s wedding and his mother’s 100th birthday celebration. On each occasion we had to provide world class entertainment combined with stunning production and seamless event management – creatively and logistically challenging and an absolute pleasure to see everything come together on the day”.

Fun facts

A former musician, Colin used to travel the world managing his own band. He still loves travelling and is learning (attempting) to speak Spanish.

Jennifer Swanston

Director

Jennifer

Jennifer started her career in the Events Department at the Dorchester, working on a wide range of events and meeting the needs of the most discerning clients. It was here that she first came across us. She was so impressed by the quality of our work and passion for events, that she applied for a job as Events Manager in 2011 and quickly progressed to become a Director of the company.

She loves nothing more than using her creative superpowers to make clients happy.

Highlight

“I was asked to produce an unconventional wedding weekend packed full of surprises and entertainment. With the emphasis very much on design, high end production and seamless event management I loved the challenge and thoroughly enjoyed the whole process of getting to know my clients and giving them the wedding they had been dreaming of”.

Fun facts

Growing up, Jennifer loved performing arts and dreamt of becoming the next Darcy Bussell. When she isn’t working Jennifer loves turning her creativity to learning new skills including calligraphy and interior design.
