About
With a background of producing photo shoots for glossy magazines, together with a strong affiliation to the restaurant industry, her visual, operational and experimental know-how led to the launch of Liz&Zie 10 years ago.
Having been brought up in Central Africa, Elizabeth lived in North America and Portugal before settling back home in London. Her colourful and cultural upbringing brings a unique style to her management and has taught her to never assume anything, particularly when interpreting luxury and clients’ expectations.
One person’s luxury may be an extraordinary banquet in an historical museum, whilst another’s could be flying guests to a private beach prepped with crates of beer and a pick-up truck for a sound system. Both events we have organised. At the core of our business is delivering events that consider personality, culture and background. Every party, celebration or event, a team production but with Elizabeth personally involved.
Liz and Zie is run by founder, Elizabeth Santos.
"I WAS OBSESSED BY MY TABLE SETTINGS AND FLOWERS - MORE THAN MY WEDDING DRESS EVEN. LIZ TOOK ON BOARD MY IDEAS BUT EXECUTED THEM SO MUCH BETTER THAN I COULD EVER HAVE IMAGINED. HER EYE FOR DETAIL, AND THE CREATIVE IDEAS SHE EXECTUES SO NATURALLY, ARE A HUGE PART OF WHAT MADE OUR WEDDING SO UNIQUE."
Kirsty & Dan | Wedding
TESTIMONIALS
"there are many event planners who can produce extravagant parties using the best suppliers, but in my experience, liz's unique
capabilities lie in embracing our personal resources and ideas to make any event not only spectacular, but one that contains
a distinctive personal touch too"

"My outrageous 40th GETS an unanimous ‘best party ever.’"
Liz Glover | Birthday
"LIZ IS CHARMING, BRILLIANTLY CREATIVE, TRUSTWORTHY, NEITHER SCARY NOR PUSHY AND holds your hand throughout the organising. SHE IS ALSO there on the night, WHICH MEANT I could completely enjoy my OWN party – and my daughters' 21st – and my husband’s 50th. She’s organised
them all!"
Hermione Tibury, Mint Ink Art Direction
"Do not hire Elizabeth. What will I do if I need her to organise a party for me and she’s not available?! I’ve worked with LIZ&zIE for years and ELIZABETH IS the first call I make before I even start putting together the guest list."
The Gatenbys | Lunch party
"We gave LIZ quite a difficult brief. It was both arty-farty and historical.
I don’t think anyone could have interpreted it better. It was exquisite."
"it's difficult to do justice to just how good you are, let alone what a pleasure it is to work with you. resourceful, intuitive, and crucially, impeccable taste. YOU LISTEN TO WHAT WE WANT, NEVER TRYING TO 'TAKE OVER', OTHER THAN WHEN YOU REMEMBER EVERYTHING WE HAVE FORGOTTEN.
I WAS GIVEN ENDLESS CREDIT FOR CREATING WHAT WAS DESCRIBED AS THE PERFECT DAY; THE TRUTH IS, ALL I HAD WAS AN IDEA"
Jamie Jago, Head of PR & Director, Savills
"WE FLEW IN FOR THE WEEKEND FROM NEW YORK TO CELEBRATE MY 50TH WITH MANY OF OUR FRIENDS. WE LITERALLY TURNED UP AT OUR OWN PARTY IN THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE AND WERE SO BLOWN AWAY BY THE BRILLIANCE OF IT ALL, WE ARE FLYING ELIZABETH AND JAYNE BACK TO NEW YORK TO ORGANISE OUR DAUGHTER'S PARTY THERE. THERE IS NO ONE BETTER."
Robert Silverman | Birthday
Lisa Martini | Cake Supplier
"I SEE A LOT OF EVENTS, DELIVERING CAKES TO HIGH-END PARTIES ACROSS LONDON AND AROUND THE COUNTRY, BUT NONE, INCLUDING THOSE 'BIG NAME ORGANISERS' HOLD A CANDLE (PARDON THE PUN) TO YOURS.
THE THOUGHT, DESIGN, AND THE ATMOSPHERE THAT AWAITS YOUR
CLIENTS AND THEIR GUESTS IS ENVIABLE."
Sharon Brittan
"Taking care of high-profile clients’ varied requirements can be testing at times, particularly when organising events on their behalf. Since working with Liz&Zie, this problem is a thing of the past. Personal or corporate, she has the remarkable ability to interpret needs, effortlessly absorb the stress and convert it into energetic positivity delivering it with individual, personable and often breath-taking touches that ensure wonderfully memorable events.
