Heeeeeey ๐ We're back on the socials, after an insanely busy year. We took some time away in Sri Lanka with the family, as running multiple seasonal businesses with a newborn made a BUSY 2025! So thought I'd show my face again.
I'm Leilah, 39 years old, and have been running Unity (with my hubby, Nick) since 2019. We have a 5 year old and an 11 month old, just to add to the madness.ย
We live in Exeter and love working on all your epic days. We have 40 years (combined) of experience in events, festivals, parties, club nights and of course weddings ๐ฐ
Me in a nutshell ๐ฅ
๐ I LOVE garage music (note the audio playing), as well as Drum n Bass... or anything bassy that I can have a rave to! ๐ฅ
๐ฎ๐ณ My fave food is an Indian curry ๐ Have spent lots of time in India. Could drink chai all day every day โ I'm a bit of a foodie ๐คฃ
๐ญ I studied drama at Uni. I've always been involved in the creative world. Then after Uni, working in the events world at music festivals all over... decorating and producing. You'll still see me at festivals all over the place ๐
โท๏ธ A huge snow lover. Skiier (sorry, not sorry, snowboarders ๐คญ) We lived in Canada for 3 years in the gorgeous mountains ๐๏ธ
๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ท๓ ฌ๓ ณ๓ ฟ I'm a Welshieย
โบ We also run a glamping site . Check us out and drop me a PM for a discount ๐

If you want all your guests to stay overnight at your wedding, choosing a glamping wedding venue like Ash Barton is perfect, as it means you get to carry on celebrating with all your friends and family the day after the ceremony too.
