Hand in Hand
Expert planning, with your story and priorities at the heart
For couples who want a wedding that feels entirely their own, with the time and freedom to enjoy the journey to it.
For busy couples who want a beautifully personal wedding, with expert planning and calm, considered support from the very beginning.
I take the lead on bringing everything together, while keeping you close to the decisions that matter most.
A trusted hand, from beginning to end
From the earliest plans through to the wedding day itself, I keep sight of the full picture while staying close to the details that make your wedding personal.
I anticipate what needs attention, keep suppliers and plans moving in the right direction and make sure every element works together beautifully, so you can enjoy the experience knowing your wedding is in trusted hands.
How we work together
Starting with you
We begin with your priorities, ideas and how you want your wedding to feel, creating a clear direction for everything that follows.
Finding the right setting
I research and shortlist venues that feel right for your wedding, arrange visits and guide the decision with your priorities in mind. For marquee or tipi weddings, I source the right company and shape the setting around the experience you want to create.
Building your dream team
I source and compare suppliers who understand your vision, priorities and budget, bringing together the right people to create your wedding.
Shaping the details
From the overall look and feel to the smaller personal touches, I help you develop the details that make your wedding unmistakably yours.
Bringing everything together
I keep everything moving, managing budgets, suppliers, decisions, timelines and logistics while keeping you close to the moments and choices that matter most. As the wedding approaches, I refine every element, align your suppliers and plans, and make sure the details, timings and guest experience come together seamlessly.
Relax and enjoy your wedding
I lead everything behind the scenes, bringing months of planning to life so you can relax, be completely present and experience your wedding exactly as you intended.
Full planning isn’t about stepping away from your wedding. It’s about having the time and space to enjoy it, whilst keeping it personal to you.
Hand in Hand is for couples who want to make the meaningful decisions, enjoy the exciting parts and stay connected to their wedding, without carrying the responsibility of researching, organising and managing every element themselves.
Whether you’re balancing demanding careers, planning from a distance, creating a wedding with lots of moving parts or simply want to enjoy being engaged, having an experienced planner leading the process gives you that freedom.
Because expert wedding planning shouldn’t be reserved for a certain kind of wedding.
