Getting to know you
Our planning journey begins with getting to know you. Together, we'll explore your vision, priorities and how you want your wedding day to feel, creating a clear direction and a strong foundation for every decision we'll make together.

FAQs
1 / What is included in full wedding planning?
Hand in Hand is a complete, supported wedding planning experience from the very beginning through to your wedding day. I work alongside you to shape your plans, source and manage your suppliers, guide decisions and ensure every detail is thoughtfully considered and brought together seamlessly.
2 / Can you help if we have already booked our venue?
Yes, absolutely. Many couples begin working with me once their venue is secured. In this case, Hand in Hand can be tailored to build on what you already have in place, with your proposal reflecting the level of support required.
If you have already booked several of your suppliers, I may recommend The Supportive Hand as a more suitable option, depending on how much support you are looking for.
3 / Do you offer wedding planning outside of Manchester and Cheshire?
Yes, while I am a wedding planner in Manchester and Cheshire, I work with couples across the UK. I regularly travel to support weddings further afield, bringing the same level of care, detail and calm oversight wherever your wedding is taking place.
4 / Will you manage our suppliers for us?
Yes, as part of Hand in Hand, I source and manage your wedding suppliers, handling communication and coordination throughout the planning process. You remain involved in all decisions, while I ensure everything is clearly organised, aligned and progressing as it should.
5 / Do we sign contracts and pay suppliers directly?
Yes, all contracts and payments are made directly by you. I support you throughout this process by reviewing contracts with you, answering questions and ensuring everything is clear and aligned before anything is confirmed.
6 / How does payment work?
A 50% deposit is required to secure your booking for Hand in Hand, then we have a 25% 6 months prior and the remaining amount 4 weeks before your wedding. Full details will be provided as part of your personalised proposal.
7 / How involved do we need to be in the planning?
With Hand in Hand, you remain an important part of the planning process. While I guide you, manage the logistics and take care of the more time consuming elements, your input is key when it comes to decisions, from selecting suppliers to shaping the finer details such as your seating plan and overall guest experience.
My role is to support you through these decisions, offering guidance, clarity and reassurance, so you feel confident in every choice without feeling overwhelmed.
8 / What if we feel unsure or overwhelmed during the planning?
This is completely natural, and a key part of Hand in Hand is supporting you through these moments. I provide calm, considered guidance and coaching, helping you navigate decisions, overcome challenges and move forward with clarity and confidence.
9 / Will you be there on the wedding day?
Yes, I am there on your wedding day with a complete understanding of everything we have created together through Hand in Hand. I manage the logistics, coordinate your suppliers and ensure everything runs seamlessly, so you can be fully present and enjoy the day.
10 / Do you only plan marquee or tipi weddings?
No, I plan weddings across a wide range of venues as well as marquee and tipi settings.
I do, however, have extensive experience with marquee and tipi weddings, which often involve additional logistics and a greater number of suppliers. This means I am well placed to support these more complex celebrations, while always tailoring my approach to suit your plans and your setting.
