The Enviable, Celebrity Lifestyle
Over decades her determination and success has attracted the rich and famous together with an eclectic international client base allowing her to travel the world organising some of the most memorable parties imaginable. In the book, she speaks most fondly though of her own two daughters’ weddings and subsequent love for her grandchildren. Her passion to give back to charities and to use her famed little black book for the greater good, as well as to get Harry Styles to deliver a cake to a client’s birthday party!
Liz describes her experiences: “There are times when I have to pinch myself. As I stand in Kensington Palace co-ordinating an event for the future King, or later as Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift take to the stage and sing Livin on a Prayer with The Prince. Or ironing Howard Donald’s shirt, as the Take That star practices his wedding speech. Insane moments in a roller coaster life."
Highlights of her celebrity filled anecdotes include:
- A mysterious phone call that leads her to Gary Barlow.
- When she met Simon Cowell looking a little less polished than her usual Prada clad self – but it didn’t stop her from making that all important contact for her little black book.
- Meeting her idol, Sharon Osbourne and how they bonded over chicken soup.
- A last minute save of the wedding of Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright after their wedding planner lets them down, with just three months until the big day.
The Emotional Cost of Success
But the overwhelming success came with a personal price tag. In the book, Liz shares the immense highs and painful lows of her unique journey. Juggling single motherhood, three failed marriages, betrayal, recessions, and mental health challenges, the biography explores how this inspiring woman had the determination to not only survive but succeed and go on to build an enviable multi-million-pound events empire.
To Inspire Others
Despite whatever was happening in her personal life she continued to excel professionally and now speaks about her life on stage to inspire others too: “A multi-million event management business and a thriving consultancy keeps me motivated. And the pinnacle of the last three decades - two incredible daughters and four grandchildren whom I adore. My journey is not a typical entrepreneur’s guide, but there is nothing typical about my world. It’s a real life told in fabulous memories and sometimes, tough moments in my life. I’m pleased to launch the audio version of my story that will make fascinating listening for those who have a life that’s constantly on the go!”
No holds barred. Liz is a party planning force to be reckoned with. A straight talker and a creative achiever. Yet under the tough businesswoman, beats the heart of a great and loyal friend.
Told in a series of colourful, funny, and honest anecdotes, the book explores Liz’s life, loves, and entrepreneurial journey, including the founding of her multi-million-pound event management company. With a budget of just £200 to planning glamorous events for an A-List collection of celebrities, business leaders and Royal clients, this book charts the decisions and moments that created her success.
The book comes complete with photographs and a foreword by Eamonn Holmes OBE.
When Liz says jump, we all say, 'how high'!
Moments of the highest successes to personal tragedy are all shared in this account of an incredible life. With a career forged in planning award-winning occasions with her event management company, the Taylor Lynn Corporation, and for some of the world’s leading names in showbusiness, sports, music and entertainment, Liz explores the experiences that mean she remains with her feet firmly on the ground.
“There are times when I have to pinch myself. As I stand in Kensington Palace co-ordinating an event for the future King. Thanksgiving dinner with Robbie and Ayda Williams and their A-List guests. Or ironing Howard Donald’s shirt, as the Take That star practices his best man speech. Insane moments in a roller coaster life.
Liz Taylor – simply one of the kindest, funniest, maddest friends I have.
“Elizabeth would be more productive if she wasn’t so bossy.” My school report read, aged four. That bossiness, or determination as I prefer to think of it, has driven me to achieve beyond my dreams. Much to the dissatisfaction of my domineering father, I didn’t pursue a safe career, I opted to captain my own ship and navigate the world of professional event management. Combining my pathological attention for detail, steely business focus and endless creative drive, I forged successful businesses spanning over 35 years......My journey is not a typical entrepreneur’s guide, but there is nothing typical about my world. It’s a real life told in fabulous memories.”
A unique celebrity event planner biography, this is a book you won’t be able to put down.
If you were marooned on a desert island with Liz, she wouldn't build a life raft. You'd have a cruise ship within the hour! Just love her.
