ABOUT EVIE
Evie, AKA Yvonne Cousen, has spent years organising people, meetings and events in her career as an Executive PA and has naturally carried those skills into her home life too.
For over 30 years, she’s been the person who makes things happen - hosting everything from relaxed dinner parties for 10 to lively events for 150.
Yvonne's love of entertaining is genuine and she knows all too well why so many people shy away from hosting - not enough time, not enough confidence, too much stress and the fear that it could all go spectacularly sideways.
