BESPOKE WEDDING PLANNING
“The day itself was absolute perfection and just so seamless. Every detail had been looked after and was flawless. We simply could not have done it without your ideas, flair, vision, organisational skills - and extensive address book.”
— HELEN & JONATHON
Full wedding planning service across London & the UK
I create joyful weddings that flow flawlessly, look elegant and refined and, above all, feel original to you. I firmly believe that the best weddings are those that reflect your lives together, your stories and the way you like to celebrate.
Whether you're envisioning a luxury marquee wedding at your private residence, a chic and stylish celebration in London, or a picturesque destination wedding within the UK, my comprehensive full planning service is tailored to bring your dream wedding to life.
Based in London, I plan weddings and events locally, as well as across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire and further afield.
My full wedding planning and design service covers everything from recommending the perfect team of suppliers and planning all aspects of your celebration, through to styling and coordinating the day itself. I will guide and inspire you throughout, and, depending on your schedule and workload, you can be as involved as you wish.
Planning your wedding
How we work
1
Getting to know you
No two weddings are ever the same, so we will begin with an in-depth conversation that helps me get to know you and how you visualise your celebrations, including where you would like to get married and the style of wedding you would like to have. We’ll also discuss your budget and agree on how we might allocate it according to your priorities for the day or weekend.
2
Choosing your venue
Choosing your venue, or, if you’re getting married at home, your marquee, is the most crucial part of the planning process. I’ll typically shortlist three or four venues for you to consider and, wherever possible, accompany you on visits. I’ll ask questions about the venue as we go around and offer helpful advice that helps you make a decision. Once you’ve chosen the perfect location and set a date, we’ll turn our minds to your wedding day design and suppliers.
3
Designing your day
I’ll develop initial visual ideas for your wedding, taking inspiration from far and wide, not just the wedding industry. This is a fun and collaborative process and it continues throughout the planning phase. I’ll produce a detailed budget that, together with our visual ideas, informs which suppliers I recommend and the briefs we send them.
4
Selecting the right suppliers
Over the years, I’ve built up a wide and varied network of excellent suppliers across all categories and price points. Unlike many other wedding planners, I don’t take commission, so you can be sure that my suggestions are tailored to you and who will be the best fit for your wedding. I’ll help you to review creative proposals and scrutinise quotes and contracts so you can book with confidence.
5
Perfecting the details
I’ll be in almost continuous contact with your suppliers as we add more and more detail and personal touches to your plans. This includes refining the timings and logistics, at which I excel. I will keep you updated throughout about costs and deadlines, always making sure you have enough time to make decisions and you know when payments are due.
6
Bringing your plans to life
After months, or perhaps years, of planning your wedding, I will bring everything together and ensure everyone has the information they need in advance of your day.
My team and I will oversee set-up and, on the day, look after you and your guests from start to finish. We will know exactly how you want things to look and flow and, if there are any unexpected problems, we’ll be there to solve them. After your wedding, we’ll make sure everything is cleared up and collected, allowing you and your family to relax and spend time together after the big day.
I only work with a small number of clients at a time, so I’m able to really get to know you as a couple and fully immerse myself in the details of your wedding. Whatever your style, you can expect a highly personalised and dedicated service, culminating in a truly wonderful and unforgettable celebration.
Investment
10-15% of your final spend, depending on the complexity and timeframe of your wedding. Minimum fees apply.
Please note, I do not offer partial planning or on-the-day management as standalone services.

“Hiring Emma was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning! We had a fairly large wedding, with the ceremony and reception at different locations in London. Emma’s organisational skills and attention to detail ensured that everything appeared seamless. I really appreciated the personal touches that made us feel like our wedding and our guests were as important to her as they were to us.”
