Your local host, with a national track record
Essex has a busy events calendar of its own: county business awards, chamber dinners, charity balls at the big country-house venues, school and college ceremonies, and a sporting scene that runs from Premiership rugby to village cricket dinners. Rhys hosts all of it with the same craft he brought to twelve seasons at the WRU Official Members Club in Cardiff.
Being local matters. He can meet you at the venue, join a rehearsal, and be first in on the day. It also means Essex bookings come without a travel supplement.

Events Rhys hosts across the county
Corporate work sits at the centre: company conferences, AGMs and staff events, business and industry awards, and panels and fireside chats. Around that, Essex clients book him for charity balls, auctions and fundraisers, sports dinners and club awards nights, hospitality days and live interviews with guest players. He is a trained bass-baritone, so the night can open or close with a song.
Essex venues and the rooms that suit them
From Georgian country houses and barn venues to hotel ballrooms, racecourses and stadium hospitality, Rhys adapts the hosting to the room. A 400-cover awards night in a marquee needs a different energy from an intimate client dinner for forty, and he reads both.
Also serving London and the UK
Essex sits on the doorstep of the capital, and Rhys hosts across London and the UK. If your event is elsewhere, the same host and the same preparation travel with him.
● Why clients book Rhys
● In their words
“He is the life and soul… The reason that we’ve been so successful in this Members Club and have been able to run this for years is because Rhys does make the day that extra bit special.”
“He’s also very flexible, happy to jump in, fill a bit of time singing, presenting, questioning guests and visitors. He just gives you a warm welcome.”
“He brings quite a big energy to it even when we’re not doing very well. He tries to put a positive spin.”
