About

I plan one wedding at a time.

I'm a freelance planner, not a studio with a roster — when we work together, I'm the one answering the phone, walking the venue, and standing next to you when the timeline needs adjusting on the day. That's a deliberate choice: fewer weddings a year, in exchange for actually knowing every detail of yours.

Most of what I do is invisible by design — the spreadsheet nobody sees, the supplier call that didn't need to become your problem. The parts you do see are the ones that matter: the room, the timing, the feeling of the day holding together.

Services

Three ways to work together

Most couples land in one of these. If your day doesn't fit neatly into any of them, that's a conversation, not a problem.

Full Planning

From first venue tour to final vendor payment. For couples who want one point of contact for the whole process, start to finish.

Venue sourcing & contract review
Full vendor team & budget management
Design direction & styling

Partial Planning

You've booked the big pieces — venue, photographer, the date. I take it from there: the details, the logistics, the follow-through.

Outstanding vendor sourcing
Timeline & run sheet build
Final month vendor management

Day-of Coordination

You've planned it yourselves. I make sure none of it is your problem on the actual day, from setup to last dance.

Process

How a planning relationship actually goes

Four stages, used roughly in order. Real weddings rarely move in a straight line.

Stage one

Discover

An initial call about the two of you, the guest list, the budget, and what "done well" actually means for this wedding specifically.

Stage two

Design

Venue, vendors, and the look of the day get decided — with a clear budget tracker so nothing arrives as a surprise later.

Stage three

Detail

The unglamorous middle: contracts, timelines, seating, the run sheet. This is most of the actual work, and you'll barely see it happen.

Stage four

Day

I arrive before anyone else and leave after everyone else. Your only job that day is to be in it.

Testimonials

From couples who've been through it

We handed over the spreadsheet and genuinely forgot about logistics for six months. On the day, nothing felt rushed — including us.

Priya & Owen — married at Heaton House, May 2025

I am not a calm person under pressure and I did not have to be once, the whole day. That's the entire pitch, and it held up.

Sam & Jess — married at The Ashes Barns, September 2025
