ABOUT EMMA JOY

London wedding & event planner for high-end luxury celebrations across the UK

Creating unforgettable celebrations with quintessential British style, fusing understated elegance and timeless appeal.

“Words can’t express how wonderful it was working with Emma, not only on the day but in the lead-up to our London wedding. She thought of everything, and was always three steps ahead, sometimes taking my dreams and ideas right out of my mouth. She completely understood our vision for the aesthetics and feeling of the day, and she delivered better than we could have imagined.”

Since I set up my wedding and event planning business in 2017, I have worked with many wonderful clients and built a trusted reputation as one of the UK’s sought-after wedding planners. I create luxury marquee weddings at private homes and country houses, as well as elegant weddings at prestigious London venues such as Kew Gardens and the V&A. While most of my couples get married in London, Surrey and Berkshire, I travel all over the UK.

I am known for the dedication I give to my couples, my professionalism and attention to detail throughout the planning process. My aim is always to create events that reflect my clients’ tastes and personalities and delight their guests. The joy and excitement of my work comes from understanding what you like, interpreting your unique ideas and then working with my skilled team to bring them to life.

“Wow, where to begin… I am quite sure you must have wings because you are absolutely magic! We simply couldn’t have had a better day and we know that is down to you and your impeccable attention to detail, organisation and the time and care you take to get to know your couples. It quickly felt like I was planning with a friend and we will miss our calls and catch-ups dearly.”

Meet Emma

Prior to joining the world of weddings and events, I studied PPE at Oxford University and worked in consulting and project management at KPMG. Alongside accreditation with the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners, I trained in floristry with the Real Flower Company, attended Leith’s School of Food & Wine and completed a professional cake-making course at Squires Kitchen.

The reason I enjoy my work so much is that it combines many of the things I love most in life: great people, live music, delicious food, beautiful flowers, spectacular architecture, the list goes on! Even if I’m not looking for inspiration for my clients, I’ll often have my head in an interiors magazine or one of my many cookbooks. My husband and I love hosting dinner parties at home in Hampton, South West London, setting the table nicely and making our family and friends feel special.
