FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need a wedding planner?
As your wedding planner I will save you a lot of time and stress. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience with 10 years in the events industry, so with my network of trustworthy suppliers I will find the best suppliers to suit you and your wedding. It takes on average 200 hours to plan a wedding (for many the process taking over a year), that is a lot of time so it is important you don't feel stressed out or overwhelmed by it all. I will be your friend and trusted confidant throughout taking away all the stress so you can really relax and enjoy the whole experience knowing you will be in safe hands on the day.
What sort of weddings do you work on?
My services are completely bespoke so I take your vision for your day and turn it into a reality. If you want an elegant stately home wedding, a beautiful glass house venue, a stunning marquee wedding or a rustic barn wedding I can create that. If you are looking for a very traditional church wedding or want to steer away from tradition that is fine too, I love variety!
Will you be there on the wedding day?
Yes! I will be there with my clipboard and schedule in hand managing the events of the day, liaising with suppliers, assisting your guests and ensuring everything flows seamlessly. I always keep a low profile too. This will allow you to completely relax and enjoy creating unforgettable memories without worrying or stressing about the next part.
Where are you based?
I’m based in Buckinghamshire, predominantly working here, London and the Home Counties including Oxfordshire, Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex and Kent. Cotswolds weddings also hold a special place in my heart. But I do love to travel creating beautiful celebrations anywhere in the UK, so if you're looking to get married in the North of England or South West, don't hesitate to get in touch as I would still love to help.
How much do your services cost?
I have three different wedding service options, so do take a look at my weddings page to give you an idea of what I offer. Following a consultation I will create a bespoke quote tailored to you, but the page does offer guide costs to give you an idea.
How many weddings do you plan a year?
There is no set number, but I do only plan a limited number of full planning weddings a year in order to keep my service personal and allow me to look after you properly. Also with partial planning and on the wedding day coordination, dates get confirmed well in advance, so I do advise whichever service you are interested in to get in touch as soon as possible.
I live abroad, but want a wedding in the UK can you help?
Yes of course, I love working with couples all over the world. I can manage everything for you as your UK based planner, I will do venue visits, sourcing suppliers, creating a design, manage transport/ accommodation and logistics, look after your invites and RSVP’s, plan any pre/post wedding celebrations and much more. When you make arrangements to do visits to the UK, I will plan the important (and exciting!) things to do while you are here, this may be bridal dress appointments, menu tasting, venue visits or florist mock up meetings. If you can’t come back as often as you like, with my experience you can trust that I will make the best decisions on your behalf and with lots planning updates, video calls and a shared planning portal you will always know exactly how planning is going and how your amazing wedding is coming together.
I’m interested, what's next?
The next step is to arrange a discovery call to chat about what service you are interested in and if we are likely a good fit. Following this we would arrange to meet (or have a video call) for complimentary consultation, during this I will ask you lots of questions about you, your style, your likes, your tastes and your vision for the wedding. Following the consultation I will put together a detailed bespoke proposal personal to you.
