Emma Gold

Spear's Review

Emma Gold’s professional career started in advertising and graphic design. She took a U-turn when she realised her passion for event planning and went on to work at MTV. It was here that she began planning global events that attracted media attention — one of which includes the first ever European Music Awards. ‘I did things I’d never done before and pushed boundaries,’ she reminisces. 

Her entrepreneurial spirit quickly took over and in 1997 she founded her event planning firm, GSP Events. While planning a diverse array of events ranging from award shows and corporate events to parties and weddings, it was the latter that began to gain traction much to her pleasure.

‘At the heart of it, weddings have always been my real passion,’ Gold says. Specialising in destination and high-end weddings, she has worked ‘on the highest tips of mountains to private islands to châteaus in the middle of nowhere.’ 

Her firm’s focus is on avoiding uniformity and creating unique weddings for each couple that are suited to their own taste, style and budget. Gold’s objective has always been clear, she tells Spear’s. ‘From the rustic to the romantic, we want to know what [our clients] want and what [their] style is.’
