Planning a wedding in the UK should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I help couples create elegant, personal celebrations across London and throughout the country, from chic city venues to grand country houses and historic estates. With decades of experience and trusted relationships across the industry, I handle the details so you can enjoy the journey and the day itself.
From first ideas to last goodbyes, I manage every step. That includes venue search and site visits, supplier sourcing and negotiation, timelines, guest logistics, design and styling, budget oversight, and on-the-day co-ordination. You get clear communication, practical guidance, and a calm, experienced lead who keeps everything moving.
No two weddings are the same. I take time to learn what matters to you, then build a plan that reflects your tastes, culture, and schedule. Whether you want classic English romance, modern city chic, or a weekend in the countryside, the result feels like you.
I plan weddings across the UK. Popular choices include iconic London landmarks and private members’ clubs, Cotswold barns and manors, stately homes in the Home Counties, coastal settings in Cornwall or Sussex, and Scottish castles for a true sense of occasion. I advise on travel, accommodation blocks, local licensing, and trusted regional suppliers.
Great planning starts with the right venue. After a brief, I shortlist options that fit your guest count, budget, and style, then arrange viewings and comparisons. You’ll see clear pros and cons and what each space realistically offers for flow, lighting, and logistics.
Your wedding should look effortless and feel welcoming. I curate cohesive design across florals, lighting, furniture, linens, stationery, and tablescapes, always guided by your story and the venue’s character. I collaborate with leading creatives to produce a look that photographs beautifully and delights in person.
I recommend reliable teams who deliver on quality and service. From photographers and filmmakers to bands, caterers, and production, I handle briefs, quotes, contracts, timelines, and rehearsal details. Everyone arrives prepared, on time, and aligned with your plan.
If you live overseas or are bringing guests from multiple countries, I streamline time zones, viewings, and decisions. Expect concise updates, virtual walk-throughs, and clear next steps. I also help with etiquette, legalities, and cultural elements so your ceremony feels authentic and inclusive.
Privacy matters. I coordinate NDAs, private access, security, and low-key schedules when needed, while keeping the day warm and relaxed for you and your guests.
On the day, I am the point of contact for suppliers, venue, wedding party, and family. I run the timeline, solve problems quietly, and keep everything on track, from ceremony cues to last coach home. You enjoy your day without juggling clipboards.
I launched my wedding planning business in 1996 and am widely recognised as the UK’s first professional wedding planner. I co-founded the National Association of Wedding Professionals to promote standards and ethics in our industry. My work has been featured across national media, and I am honoured to have received recent awards for excellence. What matters most, though, is that my couples feel looked after and genuinely enjoy the process.
How far in advance should we book?
8 to 14 months is typical for peak dates, though I can help on shorter timelines if the right venue is available.
Do you work outside London?
Yes. I plan weddings across the UK and also arrange destination events.
