Meet your Barbados Carnival Ambassadors
Our team of Ambassadors will travel with you and we’ll be getting you ready for Ultimate Crop Over!
Esha and Tarik Davis
Say hello to Esha and Tarik Davis, the dynamic duo behind Events by Ashé LLC. Esha's got that Trini spirit coursing through her veins, sharing all the local secrets, from the tastiest eats to the must-see spots. Meanwhile, Carnival Connoisseur Tarik spills all the Trinidad & Tobago hacks he's gathered over the years. They're like your carnival compasses!
Our love story? Well, it all started amidst the vibrant beats of Trinidad Carnival in 2006. Yep, that's us in costume, meeting for the first time! 🎭❤️
Once we started swapping Carnival tales, we realized something crucial. There were so many kindred spirits like us, craving the Carnival buzz but feeling lost amidst the chaos of planning – tickets, costumes, safe stays? Sounds familiar?
And that’s how the magic began! Ultimate Trinidad Carnival burst onto the scene, followed by Ultimate Crop Over, Ultimate Spicemas and Ultimate St. Lucia Carnival. We're on a mission to sprinkle confidence and banish your worries, making your Carnival journey a drama-free delight.
When we say we’ve got you covered, we mean it! Forget the planning stress – all you need to do is book that flight, toss some beachwear in your suitcase, and show up at the airport. We’ll handle the rest, from A+ BBB ratings to being your safety superheroes.
Trust us, our team is not just about the party life (though we're quite the pros), we’re also beach-lounging, ‘liming’ aficionados. Think of our entire team as your Carnival guides who bring the fun and safety while leaving room for those sandy beach moments!
