There's no such thing as a silly question, ask away!
The usual questions.
Which areas do you cover?
I plan and coordinate weddings across London, Essex, Hertfordshire and Kent, and I am happy to travel further afield, in the UK and abroad.
How far in advance should we book you?
Most couples get in touch 12 to 18 months out, though I have picked up weddings with a few months to go and one memorable one with THREE weeks to go. If your date is close, ask anyway. The worst answer is no.
We have already booked our venue and most suppliers. Is it too late?
Not at all. A good share of my work is on-the-day coordination for couples who have planned it themselves and want someone to run it so they can enjoy it. We pick up wherever you are.
What is the difference between planning and coordination?
Planning is the whole arc: shaping the day, finding and booking suppliers, managing budget and timings. Coordination is the final stretch and the day itself, taking your plan and making it happen so you are not the one answering questions in your dress or suit.
But what exactly is on-the-day coordination?
Firstly, it’s not just on the day. It is “A Few Months Coordination”. Let me meet with you (virtually or over coffee) to learn about your day. Then let me look for gaps, improvements and create a final timeline. Then I’ll liaise with all of your suppliers and the venue. THEN… I see you on the day.
Do you travel, and do you charge for it?
Yes to travelling, UK and abroad. I can drive, get the train, Uber, Double Decker bus, you name it. Travel is included in my package costs (up to a 45 minute journey one way). Additional costs may apply. If necessary, accommodation will be quoted separately and agreed up front, so it is never a line item that appears later.
How is the fee structured?
The tiers on the investment page are the usual starting points, and the final figure depends on the size and shape of the day. Whatever we agree is fixed in writing before any work starts.
Do you take a commission from suppliers?
No. Suppliers are recommended because they suit your day and your budget, not because of any arrangement behind the scenes.
What happens if something goes wrong on the day?
Something usually does, and mostly you will never hear about it. Late deliveries, weather, a supplier stuck in traffic. That is precisely the part I am there for.
Who will you work with?
Anyone. That is why I love this job. Discovering new cultures, traditions. Working with your family and friends. Learning who you are as a couple and living your story with you on the day.
Why do you do it?
I’m a hard-working, high-energy woman and mum of two, and honestly? I do it for the people. For the connections, the happy tears, the big smiles and that feeling of knowing I’ve helped create a day my couples will remember forever. I do it for that “I’ve absolutely smashed this” feeling, knowing I’ve made my couples proud. And because I know first-hand how stressful a wedding day can be, I want you to soak up every second of yours, rather than spend it worrying about what’s happening behind the scenes. And, of course, I do it to fund a few extra soft play trips and an entirely unreasonable amount of fruit punnets for the kids. 😂 Priorities, people.
