Madness or genius?
We choose both.
Half British, raised in Antwerp, with a few years in London and Sydney along the way. I fell in love with events in the UK, as an intern at Fiona Leahy Design, helping to build the ELLE Style Awards. That night I knew what I wanted to do.
Madeline is what came out of it: an Antwerp agency that designs events, dinners and weddings as stories. Every colour, every table and every guest moment is made for you, your company or your brand.
The best
guest list.
Between the set-ups and the late nights there is Alfie, my son and my toughest critic. Being a mum taught me what really matters at any table: the people around it, and time well spent together.
Small team,
big rooms.
Two people, one standard. You always know who to call.
Concept, styling and partnerships. Emily designs every Madeline event and is there on the night.
From the first brief to the final invoice, Danniek keeps your project on track and is the one you hear from.
What we
believe in.
No templates, no packages. Every event starts with a conversation and is built around the people who will be in the room.
From the first idea to the name cards, every detail refers to you, your story or your brand.
Service with the care of a five-star hotel, also when it is a relaxed barbecue or a party until morning.
No fixed supplier list. For every project we look for the makers who fit it best.
From idea to
last dance.
We meet, in person or online, and listen: who are your guests, what should they feel, what is the budget.
You receive a concept with mood, styling, programme and a clear budget proposal.
We book and brief every supplier, handle the planning, the timings and every detail in between.
On the day we run everything on site, from set-up to clearing. You simply arrive.

What our clients say.
“I worked with Emily on a beautiful book launch in collaboration with Swiss Cheeses. Emily was responsible for all the decorations, and she created a stunning result. We were happy, the client was happy, and the guests were happy too. In short: a wonderful collaboration!”
“Emily’s creativiteit en conceptueel denken is ongezien. Er zijn weinig event planners die nog zo uniek uit de hoek komen als het team van Madeline. Daarnaast werk je bij Madeline samen met hele aangename en betrouwbare mensen die ervoor zorgen dat je event van liefde overloopt.”
“Top planner van onze trouw. Van begin tot einde zeer punctueel en steeds in lijn met onze verwachtingen. Veel goede ideeën kwamen ook van haarzelf gezien we soms echt niet wisten wat we eigenlijk precies wouden. Alleen maar positiviteit. Nogmaals bedankt om deze dag zo magisch te hebben gemaakt!!”
