MY
STYLE
EVERY MILESTONE & EVERY ACHIEVEMENT
SHOULD BE CELEBRATED AND TREASURED! THERE’S DEFINITELY NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!
Hiring someone to plan such an important moment and celebration in your life, is such a personal thing and I want you to feel confident that I will treat your wedding or your event or party, with as much care and precision as if it were my own.
My idea of a perfect celebration is one where you are surrounded by amazing people who adore you and who you adore; in beautiful gorgeous settings and surroundings; with copious amounts of mouth-watering food, amazing wine and great music.

HOW I LIKE
TO WORK
01.
UKAWP
I’m a proud member of the UKAWP, which is the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners, the leading industry body for the UK wedding industry. Membership with the UKAWP is not a paid to be listed alliance but based on the ability to meet their high standards.
As a member, I follow a strict code of ethics, which will give you peace of mind in the knowledge that I’ve been vetted, that I’m a professional, that I’m well trained, that I’m continuously investing in myself and that you can trust me.
· Respond to enquiries within 48 hours
· Respect client confidentiality
· Disclose any suppliers I have a vested interest in
· Pass discounts and/or commission onto clients
· Ensure my Public Liability insurance is up to date
· Never give client details to any third party not involved with the wedding
· Respect copyright from fellow wedding professionals
· Represent each client fairly and honestly
· Use legally sound business contracts with clients
02.
CREATIVE
Before hospitality, I studied Art & Design and Graphic Design at university. I love being creative and bringing to life ideas. Having designed wedding stationery before, as well as in-house advertising and marketing materials, you can be confident that I can transform your vision into a reality.
05.
FUN
Every part of this process is an experience for you and there’s no way that I would continue to do this, if it wasn’t fun for me and if I couldn’t make it fun for you. Be prepared to laugh a lot!
08.
GREAT WITH NUMBERS
The one thing I’ve always loved about numbers is that there’s a right answer and there’s a wrong answer – there’s no grey area. Nothing thrills me more than a good old excel spreadsheet, which is perfect when assisting you with your budget and financial management.
03.
ORGANISED & METICULOUS
I’m overly organised, which is a skill I greatly possess. To give you an idea of how organised I am, one year I organised and managed 36 weddings and over one Christmas, I organised 200 events within 4 weeks. As you can imagine, it was a very busy time! So, you can be totally confident that I’ll get everything done as and when required, but I will also make you feel that you are the only one, I’m working with.
06.
A CALMING PRESENCE
I thrive under pressure and love a deadline. You can trust that I’ll be the calming presence when needed but stern when required.
09.
HONEST & TRUSTWORTHY
For you to allow me into your life and plan one of the greatest days of your life you need to be able to trust me, and I do that by being honest and open with you.
04.
ATTENTION
TO DETAIL
I’ve always managed to spot a mistake when others can’t, so you can rely on me to make sure that nothing is out of place or missing on your big day.
07.
HIGH LEVEL
OF SERVICE
Having learnt everything from a hotel brand that’s all about service and constantly within the top 10 in TripAdvisor, you can be rest assured that I’ll go above and beyond for you. I know what a high level of service is and you shouldn’t expect anything less.
10.
EXPERIENCED, PROFESSIONAL & KNOWLEDGEABLE
I have over 10 years of experience organising weddings and events. Working within venues as well has allowed me to know how it all works behind the scenes and build up a good network of great suppliers and people alike.
11.
CONTINOUS GROWTH
I’m a firm believer that there’s always something else you can learn, so I am continuously attending workshops and training sessions, to better myself, to grow and increase my knowledge. I believe in investing in myself, to become a better person not only in business but personally too!
