My price for wedding day coordination for an average size wedding starts from £750. That's not for full wedding planning; that's for coordinating the day.

Now...there may be some wriggle room on that minimum price based on the size of the wedding and the tasks that need to be managed. However, on many occasions the minimum price can be higher;

I often get enquiries for wedding day coordination pre fixed with 'Eveything is done. I just need someone to oversee it on the day' Based on this perception expectations of my fee is under £300.

Now I get it. Weddings are expensive affairs and the thought of adding and extra nigh on £800 so someone can check 'everything goes smoothly' may seem a bit extreme. But here's the thing.....

💗All your suppliers need to managed on the day. The more suppliers you have, the more deliveries and management is needed.

💗All your personal items and requirements need to be delivered, managed & laid out - place settings, personal gifts, table plans / names, favours etc

💗Every activity that takes place will affect another activity, so pre empting that, is crucial when coordinating a day.

💗If you have more than one form of entertainment, arrival and set up needs to be managed within an inch of it's life.

The above is just a snippet of what I do.

For wedding day coordination, I start working with a couple at least 3 months before the day to start information gathering and connecting with all their suppliers. I'm asking questions from these suppliers about their requirements, arrival time, parking needs and getting clear on what they have been contracted to do. Even more importantly, I'm documenting it all the ensure that every detail actually happens on the day itself.

I am absolutely passionate about the fact that once the day arrives, my couple gets to switch off completely from the planning and enjoy every minute of their day.

So no. My fee won't be less than £300 Because my wedding day coordination services are not just confined to a few hours on the day.

Please get in touch if you need this kind of energy to ensure your wedding day runs smoothly. Or if you know someone else who does.

Not everyone needs a wedding planner.

Some couples power through like ninjas assessing and tweaking everything that moves; physically and metaphorically. While others stealthily work their way through each task depending on the dreams of the actual wedding day to get them through the process.

Both methods work. Because everything works out in the end right?

True. But the verdict is usually measured by the experience - both during the build up and on the day of the wedding.

That's what I specialise in - the importance of the entire experience being a positive, calming and enjoyable one.

❤️Getting answers to the questions you forget to ask
❤️Connecting the dots that connect every supplier to each other to minimise confusion
❤️Helping you source solutions that meet your expectation and your budget
❤️Tying up the loose ends so nothing gets left dangling in the wind so to speak

But.....like I said, I'll only provide this support if you want it, and deep down, you will know if you do.

Drop me a DM if you want to find out how this could work for you. No obligation.

Note: My availability for weddings and events is extremely limited

It's been a while since I promoted all things Weddings & Events. But I'm back!......with a very focused service.

If you've been following me for a while you'll know that my word for this year is Simplicity. This means that I'm being very focused about how I serve.

Although I love Confidence and Visibility Mentoring, I also have a very special place in my heart for creating beautiful experiences in the form of events. I know that successful events don't happen by accident. Taking control of each element is the core of any event success.

And I'm good at it. Every little detail.

Right now I have very limited availability this year for wedding day coordination or full wedding planning. When these spots are full, they're full.

In terms of decor, I am only specialising in chair draping design. This is an extremely bespoke service to provide a unique look for your event. This service is suitable if you are using chairs without chair covers.

The pics below are some examples if what I have provided for past clients.

Drop me a DM to discussed your ideas and how I can elevate your look.

I've spent most of the day locked into a wedding planning meeting with my lovely clients who have a 150 guest wedding coming up in just over a month.

I know that if you are fairly new to my world this will come as a surprise that I am in fact a wedding & special events planner (have been for over 20 years); although this role is very limited right now.

I don't do many weddings now, because over the past 5 years or so, my main focus has been creative confidence & visibility mentoring. It's an area of business I've been called to do at this stage of my life and it inspires me every day.

But today, I completely submerged myself in the logistics, the layout plans, the supplier discussions, and loved every minute of it! I wrote copious amount of notes ( I love pen and paper so don't come at me for not using an electronic device! 🤣), took lots of pics & videos; plus asked the detailed questions that always get forgotten if you are not working with an event expert like me. Can't wait to get stuck into the notes and connect all the dots with all the suppliers so everything fits seamlessly on the day.

Yes. I'm one of those weird people that loves the chaos of pulling all the the random pieces together! And I'm good at it too!

So why am I telling you this?

My availability to manage weddings and special events is extremely limited. So if the planning of your next celebration fills you with dread, drop me a DM.

I'm now accepting bookings for 2026.

A wedding day is too special to leave to chance.

It's Saturday.

Everyone's breathing a sigh of relief that it's the weekend. But you are planning a wedding. So what does the weekend mean for you?

You can remember getting a couple of emails from suppliers and one of them had some important questions you had to answer, so you really need to dig those out......which day did those come in again? Also you've got another venue visit scheduled so you can refresh your memory of all the limitations. To be honest, this is a worry because there appears to be little flexibility now that you've had a chance to look at the fine print of the contract.

Then there's the invites. You think you've made a decision on the design, but you are not sure what to include in the wording. Didn't the supplier say she needed this information by the middle of next week?

The catering needs to be finalised but you are just not 'feeling' the choices that you've been offered. Is it best to go for the buffet or the table service?

If any of this sounds remotely familiar, maybe it's time we talked. Let's book a time for an online wedding planning Anxiety Busting Session to get everything in prospective.

Made another one of my brides cry again....but with happiness.

When Sarah contacted me all the way from America to manage her wedding which was taking place deep in the heart of Wales, I had no idea what I was letting myself in for. However I quickly realised that Sarah, her fiance Josh, her family and friends were very special people.

We bonded straight away and it soon became clear that there were many unique and wonderful elements that Sarah wanted to include in her big day and every single one of them needed to be managed.

Sat 4th November was the BIG day that saw it all come together. I may have shed a tear or two.

Thank you Sarah for trusting me with your dream day. I have always said that I attract the best people; both in staff and clients. And you are no exception.

It was my absolute pleasure to give you the support that you needed.

Wishing you and Josh, many years of happiness.
