Take a look at my packages and see which one is right for you and your partner.
I offer three bespoke packages, which are all designed to make your day run smoothly.
You have always wanted to plan your own wedding and never in a million years would you have someone come in and do it for you. But where do you start? What do you need to do first?
This is where I come in for a power hour with you over zoom. We will go through the all-important budget and how to keep within it. The steps you need to take to plan your own wedding day, including in which order to hire in suppliers and devise a timeline to keep you on track of the planning process.
You can buy power hours at any time in your wedding planning journey.
This package is charged at £100 per hour.
This starts with a free consultation, where I can learn more about your wants and needs for your day.
We need to click and I need to be your person, someone who gets you both and your wildest desires, someone who you can trust wholeheartedly and become your WBF (Wed Best Friend). Leaving you feeling confident that I am the right wedding planner for you and if i’m not that’s ok, I have recommendations that I can pass on. It’s all about you.
But if I am a hell yes, we will come up with a fully bespoke service especially made for you. Detailing exactly what you want from the day, the suppliers and me. Leaving you to concentrate on being fabulous.
Once hired, contract signed and deposit paid, I get to work straight away and will manage everything agreed in the proposal from the budget to the venue, the food to the band and the set up to the take down. So you and your partner can have fun throughout the planning process.
I only take on a limited amount of full planning weddings each year to ensure you get my full attention, so don’t delay, let’s have that first chat.
This package is charged at 12% of your budget (minimum fee of £3,500 applies).
Here we have two meetings, the first to go through everything you have planned for your special day and to agree my services for you, so you can sit back and relax knowing everything has been taken care of.
The second meeting will be to organise your schedule and timeline for the day saving you time and knowing an often-overlooked part of the planning process has been sorted for you. PHEW!
I will be the main contact for your suppliers a week leading up to the wedding and especially the morning of so you have nothing to worry about and leaving you to enjoy the lead up to your wedding.
I will be there on the day to make sure there are no problems and to make sure all flows smoothly, giving you and your partner a relaxed day.
This package is charged at £1,200 (for up to 10 hours on the day including set up, more hours can be added).
We make your lives easier, simpler, fun and relaxing. We can do as much or as little of the planning, as you want us to.
Wedding Planners offer a range of services. From designing the theme/style of the day, organising all your badass suppliers to sourcing your ideal venue and helping you with the table plan (if you want one!). From your wedding attire and music to keeping on top of your budget and RSVPs.
We spend hours behind a computer screen researching all the ‘perfect for you’, possibilities for your vision of your day and offer you expert advise all the way through the planning process.
We make you a timeline for the day so it runs smoothly and effortlessly. From set up to take down we will be there for as long as you want us. We save you time and money in the long run.

When we have had our free consultation, we click and you would like to have me on board the most epic day of your life so far. I will send over the proposal with everything listed of what will happen up to and on your wedding day and the contract.
One signed and the 40% deposit paid, I get to work straight away. The Second payment of 40% is due no later than 3 months before your wedding day. The last payment of 20% is due a month before D day.
I do however also offer a payment plan of bi-monthly payments.
Many wedding planners charge a percentage of your budget anywhere between 10%-15% with a minimum fee. Other planners charge an hourly fee Check out my blog on How much does a wedding planner cost?
No, I am proud to be a UKAWP member, which means I have been fully vetted and I do not take any commission from venues or suppliers, I get any discounts for you instead.
No, with Wedding Planning I will work alongside you, all the way through your wedding planning journey. Making it easier, fun and relaxing for you and your partner so you can get on with the other important parts of your wedding. Like finding your awesome dress, jumpsuit or whatever you want to get married in.
