What is your most memorable wedding?
I love it when couples get married at home - it's so special to be invited to such an intimate occasion. But then again, I'm super happy at a giant festival wedding too! The best thing about my job is that no two dates are every the same.
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Relaxed, approachable, fun, realistic & totally adaptable too!
What about your business are you most proud of?
The reviews from my couples make me feel so proud of what I've achieved - they don't just seem to think I'm good at my job, but that I'm a decent person too and it shows! When they recommend me to their friends, that's the best kind of compliment you can get.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.
I get why people think there are certain rules or ideals for your big day, but ultimately you need to do what feels good for you. It doesn't matter if that's a beautiful white gown and elegant fine dining or street food and sequin jumpsuits. It's a special day - do it your way!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I like to make sure we're a good fit so we can have quick chat either via phone or over coffee (or virtually if you prefer).
I'm here to listen to you, so you let me know what you think you need and where you think I'll fit in. I'll also answer and questions you have.
I can send an estimation over if you need to confirm costs, and if you want to book I'll take a small deposit. Then I get straight to work! I'll discuss with you when further payments will need to be made and any other T&Cs upfront so we're always on the same page. I'm always available via phone or email if you need to check in at any point.
What is your favourite moment at a wedding?
I'm a bit of a foodie, so I love the afternoon once the ceremony is done and before the dancing starts. That's when all the nerves have disappeared and you start to see the happy couple relax and enjoy themselves. Nobody can be miserable with a cocktail or a glass of fizz in their hand. Everyone is chatting and enjoying the day - and if there's some street food or some canapés... it's a winner!
