Real-day stories

Five small weddings, from the planner's side

Sample stories of how a day came together: the setting, the guest count, the package and the small decisions that made it feel like theirs.

Bride and groom hands with wedding rings over a bouquet of roses

Generic sample stories with stock photographs, written to show how we work.

Every story here is a sample: a typical small wedding of the kind we plan, written from our side of the clipboard and illustrated with stock photographs. Names are left out on purpose. The decisions, the timings and the small rescues are the real substance.

Story 01

Forty guests and the last light of summer

They wanted the ceremony in the open and the meal at one long table, in a meadow with no buildings in sight. We found a farm field with a barn for the kitchen, a lane wide enough for the caterer's van and a plan B under a sailcloth tent that we never had to raise.

The ceremony was moved forty minutes later than first planned, to put the vows in the softest light of the day. Dinner was served at the table on sharing plates, and the speeches were short because we asked nicely.

Story 02

A walled garden in the middle of May

They had booked the garden and a favourite photographer before calling us, six months out. We found the remaining five suppliers, drew a layout that kept the tables out of the afternoon sun and wrote a wet-weather plan for the orangery next door.

It rained for eleven minutes during drinks. Umbrellas were already waiting in a basket by the door, and the photographs moved under the vines instead of onto the lawn.

Story 03

Barefoot vows and a supper on the sand

The couple planned it all themselves: a simple arch, a beach permit and a fish supper at the restaurant above the shore. We joined eight weeks before, checked the permit conditions and the tide tables, and rewrote the timings around low water.

On the day we carried towels, a spare pair of flat shoes and the rings in a zipped pocket. The ceremony began at the minute the tide turned.

Story 04

Long tables under old timber

Seventy-two guests in a restored barn with no kitchen, no heating and one plug socket. We brought in a mobile kitchen, two quiet generators and heaters on a timer, and spent an afternoon with the owner tracing every cable.

The tables ran the full length of the room under strings of light. Guests found wildflowers in jars at every place and a printed card with the way to their taxis.

Story 05

A dinner party wedding for twenty-two

A short civil ceremony in the morning, then the private dining room of a favourite restaurant for the afternoon and evening. One table, one menu and no dance floor at all.

We wrote the menu cards, timed the courses around three short speeches and booked a car for the grandparents at nine. The last guests left at midnight, still at the table.
