Someone whosewhole job is the day.
Twelve weddings a year, which is as many as two planners can be properly present for. Fees are published, suppliers are chosen for you rather than sold to you, and we take no commission from any of them.

What a planner is actually for
Somebody is not a guest
On the day, every person you love is a guest. A planner is the one person in the room whose entire job is the day itself.
Suppliers who owe us nothing
We take no commission and no referral fee, from anybody, ever. That is why the florist we suggest is the right florist rather than the one that pays.
A budget that survives contact
Built in the first month, in a spreadsheet you own, with the things that always get forgotten already in it.
Twelve, not forty
The cap is the product. A planner running forty weddings is a planner sending an assistant to yours.
A few from this year
A loft in Bermondsey
110 guests · SeptemberA long single table for everybody, which sounds simple and is the hardest layout there is. Six months of negotiation with a venue that had never done it.
A garden in West Sussex
80 guests · JulyAt home, in a marquee, with a kitchen built in a barn. Everything you see arrived on a lorry and left on one.
A barn in Kent
60 guests · MayDried flowers, mismatched glass and a two-hour lunch that ran to five. Our favourite kind of brief.
Three ways to work with us
Published fees. A planner who quotes as a percentage of your budget is a planner with an incentive to grow it.
| Tier | Fee |
|---|---|
On the dayWe take over six weeks out, run the rehearsal and run the day. For couples who have planned it themselves. | £2,400 |
Partial planningFrom nine months out. Venue and supplier selection, budget, timeline, and the day itself. | £5,800 |
Full planningFrom the engagement. Everything, including the parts nobody warns you about. | £11,500 |
Non-wedding eventsLaunches, anniversaries and corporate dinners, quoted per event. | From £3,200 |
Fees are fixed at the point of booking and do not move with your budget. We take no commission from any supplier, which usually means the total spend comes in lower than it would have with a planner who does.
Check availabilityFrom the first call to the last dance
A conversation, free
An hour, in person or on a call. What you want the day to feel like, roughly what you can spend, and whether we are the right people. Nothing is signed.
Budget and shape, month one
A real budget in a spreadsheet you own, and a shape for the day. The unglamorous month, and the one that decides whether the rest works.
Suppliers, months two to six
We shortlist three of everything, tell you which we would choose and why, and you decide. Every contract is in your name, not ours.
The last six weeks, and the day
Final numbers, a timeline every supplier has, a rehearsal, and then a day where nobody asks you a single logistical question.
The thing nobody tells you
About seventy per cent of what we do happens in the last six weeks, and almost none of it is visible. Final headcounts, dietary requirements, seating that changes four times, a supplier who goes quiet, the weather. Couples who plan it themselves usually enjoy the process right up until that point, which is exactly why the on-the-day tier exists and why it is the one we recommend most often.
People we work with
A short list, used often, and none of them pay us anything.
- Wildhouse FlowersFlorals, London and Sussex
- The Ninth TableCatering, up to 200 covers
- Ardith StationeryInvitations and on-the-day print
- CopperlineSix-piece band and DJ
- Marram HireFurniture, glass and marquees
- Two Rivers CarsTransport and guest logistics
Every supplier named here is invented for this demo. A planner's supplier list is real third-party validation and is exactly the band a demo is most tempted to fill with recognisable names, which would imply commercial relationships that do not exist. On a live site this band names people the planner actually works with, and the line about commission is the one worth keeping.
What people say afterwards
We planned it ourselves and hired them for the last six weeks. I did not understand what that was worth until the marquee company changed the delivery slot and I found out about it three days later, as a solved problem.
Anwen and JossOn the day, KentThey talked us out of two suppliers we had already half committed to and both would have been a mistake. Nobody with commission on the line does that.
Fela and MarcusFull planning, LondonThe budget spreadsheet had things in it I would never have thought of. Corkage. Overnight supplier accommodation. A contingency we actually used.

Before you write
Are you free on our date?
Send it below and you will know within two working days. We take twelve weddings a year and Saturdays in June and September go about eighteen months out.
Do you take commission from suppliers?
No, from anybody, ever. It is the single most important line on this page and the one we would want you to ask every planner you speak to.
Can you work with a venue's in-house coordinator?
Yes, and it is a different job from ours. They run the building. We run your day, and the two of us being in the room together is usually a very good sign.
What if we only need help at the end?
That is the on-the-day tier, and it is the one we recommend most often. We take over six weeks out.
Do you do non-wedding events?
Yes, a handful a year. Launches, significant birthdays and corporate dinners, quoted per event.
Check your date
