Wedding catering should be about providing an exceptional experience, and showcasing your personalities by thinking of ways that you can create intention behind the food you choose, how it’s presented, served, and tells a story.

Wedding catering should be about providing an exceptional experience, telling a story and showcasing your personalities! It is not always about designing a full new menu but thinking about ways that you can create intention behind the food you choose, how it’s presented, served, and tells a story....

I am Emily I love food, travel, deep conversations, and a glass of wine!

Before weddings and events I had spent my entire life immersing myself in the catering and hospitality industry, in-between being a professional singer!

11 years ago I got my first glimpse of event adrenaline, the manic behind-the-scenes action in catering for private estate marquee weddings. I was totally addicted and loved everything about the process of the entire occasion from planning to ex*****on.

After moving to and training in London (whilst running the events and operation of a luxury London venue) my singing took me to lavish occasions in places such as Tuscany, Provence, The Seychelles, and New York. I was booked by some of the most incredible wedding planners and although I loved being a huge part of creating the atmosphere, It was then I realised I truly wanted to be back in the thick of the day again and was going to use all my knowledge to be the one planning not performing.

My background and experience led me to where I am now along with the whole hearted focus, confidence, and belief I have that weddings and events should be about atmosphere and curating an experience that makes you and your guests feel something incredible. As well as designing a beautiful occasion, what I love to create is completely centred around tantalizing the senses based on what can be heard, seen, smelt, touched and tasted.

Planning weddings and events gives me everything I need in life, the buzz and adrenaline, ability to let my creativity and passion for design run wild, and a constant connection to the 2 other transferable worlds I have loved being immersed in my whole life. I truly adore my job and plan and design occasions for the wholehearted appreciation I receive from my clients for simply doing what I know and love, and the relationships I have made along the way.

Planning a wedding together is primarily about making decisions and negotiating compromises. From finer details to those bigger calls that define the day itself, you will at some stage in the planning process feel overwhelmed or unsure about which way to go. This is not to say that wedding planning isn’t exciting or enjoyable at any point. Here are the top 10 wedding planning decisions to ensure less stress during the process and fewer regrets after the day.

Planning a wedding together is primarily about making decisions and negotiating compromises. This is not to say that wedding planning isn’t exciting or enjoyable at any point (as a luxury wedding planner I do believe it’s the best job in the world!). I have lived through my couple’s experience...

A private estate marquee build at the foot of a lake in the grooms family grounds. A sophisticated, elegant design inspired by C&P with a hint of colour and wild impressive florals. Not forgetting the nightclub we built inside the marquee too!

As with all my designs this was the backdrop to an epic party of house music and roaming trumpet players, cocktail sunset, live jazz band and ending on a high with a explosive firework display.

I can’t wait to share more with you over the coming weeks and go into detail the intention behind all the design elements.

There is no wrong or right time to appoint the services of a wedding planner. I have clients who knew even before they got the ring that they wanted help to execute their wedding due to the demands of their personal and professional lives, and the desire to create a high calibre event and experience for their guests.

Equally, I also have clients who began planning themselves and became overwhelmed during the process, weeks, months or even years in! They had fallen out of love with the idea of their day, couldn’t pin down their design due to the wealth of inspiration available, and associated their wedding with confusion and stress.

In these cases my full planning and design service becomes completely bespoke, I will delve into everything you have planned so far and ensure I know and understand your entire vision as if we had been with you from the beginning. We then backtrack, establish an authentic design concept and after viewing your venue map out a guest experience. I consolidate everything you have spent so far and project any further budget we still require. I introduce myself to any suppliers you have already booked and put together a list of everything we still need to obtain, whilst ensuring that there isn’t anything missing in the services you have already confirmed. Once everything is caught up and we are back on track the collaboration between us continues in the same way as those I have been working with from the beginning, and you can finally start to get excited about your wedding day again!

Weddings have always had an incredible ability to bring people together. I thrive of the honour and responsibility of helping you to plan such a monumental and special milestone in your life. My focus when designing your day is to create an authentic visual concept scattered with personalised details and unexpected touches and to map out a guest experience that’s enveloped in a wow-factor energy, aimed at evoking emotion and encouraging interaction.

The current charge of emotion behind the weddings I have seen and am sure we will see for years to come is overwhelming. It has never been more meaningful or special to hug a loved one, exchange vows in front of a room full of all your family and friends and lose yourself on the dancefloor.

Here are my beautiful clients A & A on their wedding day Middleton Lodge Estate last week!
