Your Wedding Friend

If you're planning a wedding or event, no matter how small, and need a hand getting started, or had your helpers let you down, Your Wedding Friend is here.

My aim is help out couples who are struggling to plan their special day. Everyone knows time is precious and although everyone has dreams of a perfect wedding day not everyone has the capacity and skills to make it happen by themselves. I also know that sometimes friends and family say they'll help but are suddenly unavailable when the need arises. I'm offering a helping hand, a confidante for tho

se planning a secret, advice and support for those who need it, when they need it. No need to book 2 years in advance. If you suddenly find yourself struggling to get things ready I'm here for you. I am a friend at a time of greatest need. Alternately, if you need a bit more support from the start, I'm available to guide you through the early stage panic (so much to do and where to start!?) all the way to the final dance.

When wedding stress is more than feeling a bit overwhelmed. When it feels like you'd rather do literally anything than stand in front of people and speak. When you seriously consider harm in order to get out of your own wedding, or the responsibility you've been given at someone else's wedding. It's time to consider solutions because you shouldn't be feeling this way. And there are solutions.

Whether it's a real fear of being the centre of attention, or 'public' speaking, or dancing, or bees at your outdoor wedding, or anxiety and panic attacks that everything will go wrong. All of these fears are real but they don't have to be crippling. There are solutions. Some more simple than others. Some I can and do help with. Some where other professionals support could actually help you in bigger lifelong lasting ways. And no they don't all cost £100s or need months of therapy.

Between my own dealings with anxiety and the contacts I've amassed from all walks of life, I can make recommendations to you that can truly turn your wedding stress around.

In the meantime, enjoy this calming viewing of the Cambridgeshire countryside from a beautiful outdoor wedding a couple of years back.

Sorry but us wedding suppliers sometimes forget that this is probably the first wedding you're planning. Or at least the first wedding you're really paying attention to all the details.
Us wedding suppliers often forget that you don't know the jargon and terminology. And we can easily bamboozle you with all the whats and how's of wedding planning, without checking that you're keeping up.

I promise we're not trying to be rude but we just know what we're doing and we know the short hand way to express it.

When we work together you might find that I talk quite quickly, but I'd like to think that you'd feel comfortable enough to stop me to ask a question. And I'm always saying there are no daft questions, so it's always best to ask it.

It might be your first time it's definitely not mine. X

Last day 'in the office' before I have a few days off. No weddings for me this weekend. Fairly rare occurrence but I'm grateful for the down time.

In the meantime, please admire this snack wall all neatly arranged in tidy rows of matching packets of crisps and things. Always a winner, and a great job to give to someone who loves repetitive tasks.

When it comes to having helpers for your DIY wedding/event, deciding what tasks to share and who to, is key to a successful and stress free set up. Too many helpers for too few tasks, or designating the wrong task to someone, and you'll spend more time answering a million questions than getting jobs done. But if you have a couple of neat freaks like me on your team, you'll be surprised by how easy and quickly things can be done. x

One week ago the gorgeous Michelle and Anthony got married on my home turf in Luton.

After their church ceremony they held the wedding breakfast and evening reception Riverside Suite.
This fab venue allows external catering though they have their own well stocked bar. Dry hire is a great option if you're looking for flexibility and freedom of choice.

I worked for the couple with my Helping Hands offer of advice and hand holding in advance, but our main focus was overseeing and assisting with on the day setting up of the families own decorations and table settings. Whilst greeting and guiding other suppliers who provided the chair covers, table cloths, cake and shimmer wall.

A great team effort all round. And with the addition of a fun slide show, which provided their back drop, I think it all turned out gorgeous.

Congratulations again to Michelle and Anthony x

The Out of Office is switched on today as I attend the Wedding Pros Live conference in London.

Super excited about a day full of learning and networking in the big smoke. It's at a fab location too. I will try to add some info in my stories but it's due to be a jam packed day and I may forget to take pics! As usual.

Emails and messages will be picked up on Thursday x

Wedding Ceremony Basics - top tips for planning your wedding ceremony.

Whether you're planning a legal registrar lead ceremony or a more personalised relaxed fun celebrant service, you'll need to consider these things.

1) number of guests and how they're seated - front row, accessibility needs, positions, reserved rows or free seating.
2) who is walking in, when and how - I could do a whole post just on this, but simply to say, think about this in advance to avoid unnecessary stress and confusion on the day.
3) readings - what, who and whether to skip them. With a legal ceremony your preferred reading might be rejected. With someone who isn't used to speaking in front of people, you might want to rehearse.
4) music - back ground music for guests arriving, entrance, signing or filler, exit music. And make sure it's organised into an ordered play list or agreed in advance with a musician.
5) timings! - an average legal ceremony is circa 20 minutes, celebrants tend to be nearer 40 minutes. The key is knowing all the things that need to happen before, during, and after. Guests ideally need to be in place 30 minutes before, everything else needed for the ceremony should be there at least an hour before to allow for tweaking, or testing.

A wedding planners motto is always be prepared. If things and people aren't in place in reasonable time, or if you haven't had time to test music or anything technical, it leaves room for problems. If you have the time for rehearsal, take that opportunity and use it wisely.

If you need help working through your wedding day please get in touch for my personalised advice and support. X

How do you let down a supplier in the politest way when you decide to go with someone else?

I'm glad you asked.

Simply put please just tell suppliers that you went with someone else. You don't have to explain, though it's possible they may ask for feedback.
So, here's my suggested text:

" Thank you for the information/quote/meeting us. We've decided to go with a different supplier, who we feel best suits our needs at this time.
It was a pleasure meeting you. Thanks again. "

If you feel like offering further information, I'm sure it will help, but it will also stop you from receiving lots of further follow up emails from all the suppliers you've decided not to go with.
Whereas, if you just ghost them, you will likely continue receiving chasing emails with further suggestions that you just don't need to be bothered with.

What you shouldn't do is just not turn up for prearranged appointments/check ins/responses and then pretend you're not receiving their emails. We don't intentionally ignore you so please don't intentionally ignore us.

And, if you're too shy to deal with 'letting down' suppliers, let me do it for you! My Helping Hands includes all manner of Wedmin jobs too.

Thank you x

Question - should you get wedding insurance?

Honestly I know so many couples think it's just a waste of money because the hope is that you'll never need to make a claim.

However, if you find that a supplier or (God forbid) your venue, goes out of business you could stand to lose every bit of money you've already paid them And need to find that money again to replace them.
It might mean hugely scaling back plans because you now can't afford them on top of having to pay for the basics.
It might mean going for a smaller guest list or entirely different style of venue that now fits in your new reduced budget.

Insurance isn't an overnight fix and there are no 100% guarantees that you'll get every penny back, but it is a safety net.

Biggest advice:
- make sure you have everything in writing
- get contracts from everyone
- read the fine print
- make sure your insurance covers vendor no shows, businesses folding, damage to property/products
- always read the fine print (I know I've written it twice but it's that important!).

And if you need help suddenly to find a replacement venue or supplier please let me know - couple of hours of me trawling my network could just save you weeks of worry and anxiety. X
