My husband and I knew that it would be challenging organizing a wedding in Saint Lucia while living in Canada. Having Charlotte organize the wedding was best decision we could have made. Charlotte had everything so well organized that we knew how everything would look even before the big day! She used computer software to show us exactly how our venue would look on the day of the wedding. This meant that although we were so far away, we felt as though we were there.
On the day of the wedding everything went perfectly, and not just for everyone that attended, but it was perfect for me. Charlotte captured my vision and she made sure everything was exactly as I wanted it. She had ideas that I loved and would have never thought of myself. She was unbelievable organized and was always five steps ahead of me during the planning process. On the day of the wedding, Charlotte never stayed still. She made sure everything from the music to my dress change was organized and timed perfectly.Her positive spirit and confidence melted away any tension I may have had. We couldn’t have asked for a smoother execution of the wedding day itself.
Charlotte did a wonderful job shepherding everyone, including us- the bride and groom- along to their respective venues and activities. All our guests had an amazing time. Some guests had their toddlers with them and were impressed with how Charlotte went out of her way to make sure they were all well looked after. We even had a special table with kids activities ! I will recommend Charlotte to everyone I know! Truly the best wedding day I could have ever dreamt of!

Planning a wedding is stressful enough and since we were doing if from abroad, we needed someone with whom we could communicate effectively, who understood our vision, and the limitations of our circumstances. Charlie was certainly that person, impressing us with her knowledge and experience during the planning process and ensuring that things ran smoothly on our special day.
She was professional, organized, thoughtful and went above and beyond to meet and exceed our expectations. There was no problem she couldn’t solve or hiccup she couldn’t find a workaround for. She was prepared for every eventuality, having armed herself with the knowledge and tools to get things done; a skill that’s essential in an island like St. Lucia, where things don’t always go according to plan!
If you are planning a wedding or an event in St. Lucia, whether there or from abroad, we strongly recommend using By Charlie Ltd.

If you still need more reassurance, here are some testimonials from some of Charlie’s previous clients & managers- all original versions can be seen on Linkedin
“In my 20 years working in events, I’ve met very few people as organized and responsible as Charlotte Bonehill. During her last 18 months working solely for me she took ownership of the entire administration and coordination process, seamlessly handling over 800 individual exhibitors many from Europe, Asia and the Americas. Charlotte worked effectively to ensure all contracts were accurate and produced on time, communicating extensively with exhibitors, our in-house operations department and the sales team. Charlotte is very outgoing, well-motivated and flexible, she works well as part of a team or on her own projects and has successfully delivered many events for me including gala dinners, conference seminars, speaker liaison and managing specific show features including a large series of wine master classes at the London International Wine Fair held in London ExCeL. I have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte, she is still highly regarded by a number of my key clients, and to her credit I still receive much praise from them regarding their experience of working with her” – Previous Managing Director
“Charlotte worked for me across 4 shows in very differing markets. She quickly proved herself to be highly intelligent, and juggled the various (and always urgent!) requirements of demanding managers with humour, charm and efficiency. She combines creative flair with a pragmatic and practical approach to getting things done, which I think also served her well in operational functions. Good times are there to be enjoyed with Charlotte, and problems are there to be solved. I wouldn’t hesitate to employ her again if the opportunity arose” – Previous Boss
“Charlotte’s work with my show was exemplary, and her sterling efforts we were rewarded with the best and smoothest run event we have ever had. She was both professional and full of genuine “know-how” when it came to working with over 120 clients in the build up to our event. In fact the positive feedback from all of my client base is true testimony to Charlotte’s excellent approach” – Previous Show Manager

“Charlie worked onsite with my team at the Harrogate Lingerie and Swimwear Exhibition and pre-show in the office. An amazing team player, self motivated, confident, reliable and efficient. A true people person, comfortable in any situation from backstage at the catwalk to running the Press and VIP lounges. Charlies bubbly happy positive approach appealed to exhibitors, visitors, press and colleagues always a popular member of the team. Charlie often accompanied me to industry events outside working hours and impressed brands and buyers with her knowledge and keen interest. She handled stressful onsite situations with imagination, skill and tenacity, with a great sense of humour thrown in. I would be thrilled to work with Charlie in the future and in my opinion if she’s on your team its a winning team. I look forward to watching her career in the events industry with interest” – Previous Manager
“I worked with Charlotte at Brintex Events, she was a hard working team member who met ever challenging demands and exceeded expectations with her “can do” attitude.
I have no hesitation in recommending Charlotte and would love to work with her again if the opportunity arose.” – Previous Co-worker
