Yesterday was 10 years since I married my best friend and this whole wedding career began 🥰

Our wedding was wild, unpredictable (English Summer!!), unapologetically us and was not about perfection or Instagram. We got absolutely filthy… seriously I took my dress home in a bin bag 😳, we got caught in the rain, arrived via motorbike, were late 😬, gave our dog canapés, danced until we were hot and sweaty and I had to tie my hair up with my garter, no hair and makeup retouches for this bridal party 😂 We even forgot to book ourselves a taxi home and stood in the carpark at the end wondering how far the walk was to the hotel 🤦‍♀️ We did not feel the need to impress everyone and we had fun… and you know what.. because of that… our guests did too (seriously you should see the evening photos 😂), everyone is a hot mess but smiling from ear to ear and having a damn good time singing and dancing their little hearts out.

The advice I give all my couples is this day is about YOU two as a couple, no one else. If your friends and family love you - they’re just along for the ride and will be your biggest cheerleaders however you decide to celebrate. Oh and plenty of food, drink and a cracking band helps too 😜

Enjoy your wedding day and you’ll still be talking about it ten years later 🙌

Hannah & Ben what a joy you and your families were to look after on Saturday!

The sun shone, the bells rang and the canoe (yep!) was overflowing ☀️

Something about weddings in family gardens hits different. It feels so personal, so relaxed! How grateful I am that you welcomed me into your parent’s home and I had the most wonderful time coordinating your wedding with all your fabulous suppliers

This wedding had EVERYTHING 🙌🙌 It was the biggest laugh to coordinate and honestly I enjoyed myself from start to finish!!

Marie and Joseph (yes they did make jokes about their names!) combined their Anglo-Franco merging celebrating at Joe’s parent’s barn (where they married in the 90’s!). They had guests from all over the world reflecting Marie’s cultured upbringing, Argentinian BBQ, tequila shots served by mariachi men, Hull’s own black Elvis, impromptu sing alongs and dancing at dinner, multiple outfit changes, the FUNNIEST speeches I’ve ever heard, DJ sets from all their friends, karaoke in a stable, audio guest book in a silo, camping, swing band, classic car, stationary designed by the talented bride, and them and their family and friends at the heart of it all. Honestly it was WILD and wonderful in the best possible way.

How fortunate I am to experience all of this with the nicest couple I could ask for ♥️ Thanks Marie & Joe, I’m so happy you reached out and wondering if you’ve come down yet from the high??!!

I might not be posting much at the moment as we’re just concentrating on all our amazing couples in the height of wedding season!! 🎉

But had to share this photo of one of the most memorable weddings I’ve ever coordinated, Marie & Joe and all their guest KNOW how to have a good time and I was honoured to be part of it. This is just a snippet of joy from their day 🤩

I have two beautiful weddings to set up today. One of which is at - an adorable little boutique wedding venue on the Otley Chevin with the loveliest team.

I’ve been in this business since 2015 and I’m so thankful to have started my journey there as an in house wedding coordinator ten years ago! Nowadays I’m here, there and everywhere (literally!) but always happy to be back where it all started.

Had a little scroll back to find some of my earliest weddings at CB (circa 2017/18 - I’m not sure I had Instagram in 2015!) and have fond memories of all these lovely couples 🥰

The wedding business isn’t for the feint hearted, it’s full on, sporadic, very little down time and super unsociable hours but honestly I wouldn’t change it for the friends I’ve made, people I’ve met and worked with and the fact I’m a part of the most important day of people’s lives. Ten years in the wedding industry this year and people come and go but I’m still here and loving it 🥰

Adding wooden candle cages to your glass cylinders can add another little element of cosiness and texture. Mixing materials is always good for some additional interest 🕯️

Megan & Nathan married on Megan’s family farm 🩶

Nearly all my wedding coordinations are on family land this year, on farms, parent’s gardens and properties. I can’t tell you how special these weddings are! Imagine getting married surrounded by the love and familiarity of your upbringing, your home!

It also allows you to personalise pretty much everything and have exact day you want.

It does however come with its challenges! No in house staff, temporary structures, often lots of generators and creative power solutions, facilitating lots of people on site etc. That’s why it’s really important to consider a wedding coordinator (like me!) who can ensure everything happens as it should.. and if it doesn’t, we can sort it out!

I don’t have much space left for coordinations but I always squeeze them in if I can so if you’re struggling, get in touch!
