We may be biased but we think a wedding planner is essential when planning a destination wedding. They have so much knowledge from being in the industry for many years, therefore they can advise on where to save money and how to plan for every eventuality.
Our process is simple -
Meet with our clients to understand them as people.
Support on finding the right venue.
Create a design pack - this becomes the bible when talking with suppliers such as florists.
Book the right supplier for each task at hand - a planner will always have their go to suppliers as they will be people they trust and understand how they work - this can be invaluable for a destination wedding.
Create the schedule and ensure everyone knows their roles.
Attend the rehearsal and ensure the venue is ready in the build up to the wedding, confirming final logistics with the suppliers.
Be on site on the day of your wedding- this is the big day and something you should enjoy, which is why we ensure we manage everything from start to finish. Ensuring the set up is perfect, and that everyone knows what they should be doing. But above all, being on hand for you and your guests - we act as a host in some way to guide everyone through the motions of the day and ensuring the transition between key moments is seamless.
Clean up - the part everyone hates. But its essential, we will ensure the venue is left exactly how we found it, allowing you to enjoy the post wedding haze.
There are always elements of planning a wedding that you may think you can do yourself, and yes you would be right but its the overall management and ensuring that nothing is missed. The on going support for you and your partner when situations may arise that you don’t know how to attack.

The process can be stressful when doing it alone as you are juggling work and home life as well as making big decisions for your dream wedding. You shouldn’t have all the answers or know what you are doing as for most of our clients its the first time you are doing this, however its not our first time by no stretch of the imagination, therefore we know how to deal with most situations that may come up during the process.
People ask us - do you just do ‘on the day’ - the answer is ideally not, this isn’t because its not worth our time, but that its too late if somethings been missed. Its incredibly difficult to manage something that you have not been involved with, trying to piece it all together can be troublesome when time is precious - guests are arriving and there’s not enough chairs, or the hair and make up artist is stuck in an accident on route, the band are arriving and want to know where to set up…. the list of eventualities goes on. All can be avoided when working with us throughout the whole process.

We do understand that budgets can be tight and that hiring a wedding planner can seem like an extravagance, however it allows you to enjoy the process and ultimately be present on the day. But secondly a good planner will save you money by knowing ways to utilise the space or will understand what is required and what is not, they may also have private suppliers that you wouldn’t able to find that are half the price. Yes initially it seems like an unnecessary spend but you have to ask yourself - do you want to enjoy the morning with your bridesmaids, do you want to feel relaxed that everything is taken care off and do you really want to know what’s going on behind the scenes on your big day or would you rather sit back and enjoy as your guests will.
“We had the most amazing 4 days. Every one of our guests absolutely loved the venue, the staff and all the little touches that makes Josh so good at what he does. Both of us felt so relaxed and comfortable, and because Josh took care of everything so well, we really got to enjoy each others company over the wedding weekend”
