FAQs

Where are you located?

I am a wedding planner based in Ilkley, Yorkshire.

Where do you plan weddings?

I operate all over The UK! Whilst I live in Yorkshire, I love to travel across The UK to create spectacular weddings. If you are interested in a destination wedding, then this can be discussed on a case by case basis.

How much do you charge?

Our full planning service is 10% of the wedding budget, with a minimum fee of £5000. Wedding Design is from £1500 and Wedding Coordination is from £1200 - for both of these services a bespoke quote is provided once I know the size and location of your wedding. Consultations hours are £70; if booking 3 or more hours then a 10% discount is provided.

Are there any hidden costs?

I am really transparent with my pricing. The price of my services includes travel within 160 miles of Ilkley (charged at 50p per mile thereafter) and one assistant on the day (for Full Planning and Wedding Coordination. If additional assistants are required then this will be included in your initial quote). If accommodation is required, then this will be discussed ahead of time and expensed separately.

Do you do marquee weddings?

Absolutely! I love marquee weddings and the blank canvas they present. They are my most popular type of wedding. However, I also plan at venues across the country.

When should we book you?

For Full Plan weddings, I usually take bookings 8-24 months before your wedding. If you are wanting a quicker engagement then still get in touch because I can absolutely help full plan in less than 8 months. For Wedding Design, I usually take bookings 6-12 months before your wedding, but again this can be booked nearer to your wedding. For On-The-Day Coordination, unless booked alongside another service, I don’t take bookings more than 8 months before your wedding and can be booked from as close as 2 months before your big day (subject to availability).

What does ‘design-led’ mean?

Design-led means that the aesthetic and experience of the day drives the wedding planning process. From abundant florals to personal design touches, I source my inspiration from you as a couple and from nature. Design-led means that your wedding has a cohesive design where guest experience is central to the planning process.

Will you just plan my wedding without me?

Absolutely not! As a wedding planner, it is my job to guide your wedding planning journey and provide you with the best suppliers for your day. I work with you to create the wedding you have always dreamed of, whilst simultaneously elevating your ideas.

Will you attend my wedding?

For Full Planning and Wedding Coordination, I will be there to ensure your day runs smoothly with no stresses. For Wedding Design, I will be on site to set up the tables and any design features and will be back on site for pack-up, but I will not stay for the duration of your wedding.
