FAQS
Do we have to pick from your supplier list?
Although I do have my trusted list of suppliers, if you’re interested in a venue or have a preferred supplier in mind, then that’s absolutely open to discussion. Remember this is YOUR day, and YOUR decisions. However, I will recommend suppliers and venues I have tried and tested.
Can you help us plan other events before or after the wedding?
Home or destination wedding, your guests come to celebrate with you for more than one day, so a pre/post wedding event is something I always recommend; a relaxed pizza party, wedding party BBQ, private dining room dinner or a cocktail making session are just some of my suggestions.
Will it be you at our wedding day?
I would never miss it! After months of planning I want to be there on the day, not just to see the beauty of everything come together, but also to ensure you can relax, enjoy your day and who else knows your day better than you and I do. Depending on the size and logistics of your wedding either myself and/or a partner planner will be present from set up until the point the last supplier is providing their service. After this point we will quietly slip away and leave you to dance 'til your heart's content!
Do you have a minimum spend?
Everything is so bespoke it all depends on the services you require. I plan all kinds of events, from intimate elopements with just the bride and groom, to large parties. What’s far more important than the budget I’m working with, is how realistic it is for your requirements and preferences. As amazing as it would be, there is no wedding planning wand, so whilst I will always try to make things as cost effective as possible for you, there is a limit. If something isn’t feasible within your preferred price point then I will tell you and make alternative suggestions instead that may be more suitable.
Do you take control of our wedding plans?
A Planner should never take over. That is definitely not my job! I am here to enhance your planning; add ideas and help you make decisions as I have the experience and knowledge to do so. I listen and advise to ensure you find what you need and a plan is created to best suit your ideal day.
