WEDDING PLANNING

After nearly 40 years in planning and organising weddings all over the UK and of all types, I bring ENTHUSIASM - COMMITMENT - EXPERIENCE to planning YOUR wedding. I do NOT believe in standard packages - planning a wedding should only be a bespoke service, professionally tailored to reflect
bulletYOUR tastes, likes and dislikes
bulletYOUR dates and timescale
bulletYOUR area
bullet and of course..............YOUR budget

You must feel that you are able to TRUST me! This is crucial. And you should also to be able to ask me to help with ANYTHING - I can do as much or as little as you want me to. The only thing I won't do is take on more than one managed event on any one day.

FREE CHECKLIST - tailored for your event
