Neurodivergent Wedding Planner in Suffolk

Hi, I’m Jodie (she/her), founder of Ella Bella Weddings & Events, based in Ipswich, covering Essex & Suffolk and will travel.

I specialise in designing neurodivergent-safe, alternative weddings for couples who don’t fit the traditional mould and don’t want to pretend to.

For the neurospiceys. The gays and the theys.

But also for the anxious planners, the overstimulated humans, the rule-questioners, and the “why is this all so overwhelming?” couples.

Are you:

• Overwhelmed by loud venues, packed timelines and performative traditions?

• Struggling with family expectations that don’t align with your needs?

• Feeling decision fatigue instead of excitement?

• Worried your wedding will feel like a performance instead of a safe, joyful day?

As a neurodivergent planner myself, I understand how exhausting traditional wedding planning can feel. The sensory overload. The unspoken rules. The pressure to “just go with it.”

My role isn’t just to plan your wedding it’s to:

• Design a day that works with your brain, not against it.

• Build timelines that protect your energy.

• Adapt traditions so they feel authentic.

• Vet suppliers who are genuinely inclusive and respectful.

• Advocate for you when expectations get loud.

I want you to wake up the next day feeling:

• Energised, not depleted.

• Seen, not masked.

• Proud of your boundaries.

• Certain that the day reflected who you actually are.
