What happens when, who does it and which package covers it: the full planning year, from the first budget to the morning after.
A plan written down early is the calmest thing we can give you.
Below is the full planning year. Partial planning joins at six months, day-of coordination at eight weeks. Wherever you join, we read everything that happened before.

The foundations
We start with the three numbers that shape everything else: what you want to spend, how many people you want in the room and roughly when.
The venue
We visit up to five venues with you, read every contract line by line and only then sign. The date is set the day the deposit is paid.
The big bookings
The suppliers who book up first come next. We send you two or three we trust for each role, never ten.
Design
A design plan in words and pictures: colour, flowers, light and the shape of each room, so every supplier works from the same page.
The second wave
Partial planning joins here. We review every contract you already hold and pick up the bookings still open.
Tastings and trials
Menus, cakes, hair and make-up: the best appointments of the year. We book them, attend them and write down every decision.
The fine print
Day-of coordination joins here. We gather every supplier contact and write the first draft of the run of day.
Confirmations
We call every supplier, walk the venue with you and finish the seating plan. The run of day goes out to everyone involved.
The week of
Final numbers to the caterer, a short rehearsal and the decorations checked and boxed. Your only job this week is rest.
The day
And we leave after the band. In between, we keep the timings, meet every supplier and make sure you eat.
A run of day for a small afternoon wedding. Yours will be written for your venue, your season and the people you love, and shared with everyone two weeks before.
10:00
Florist and hire teams let in, tables and chairs set to the plan.
11:30
Hair and make-up kept to time, buttonholes and bouquets delivered to each room.
13:30
Chairs counted, aisle checked, music and microphones tested.
14:30
Ushers briefed, the order of service handed out, latecomers seated quietly.
15:00
We stand at the back with the rings plan, the readings and a box of tissues.
15:40
Family photographs from a written list, twenty minutes and no more.
17:30
Guests called to the table, the kitchen told the moment the last chair is filled.
19:00
Speakers warned ten minutes ahead, microphones checked, glasses filled.
20:30
Room turned, lights lowered, the band cued when you are ready.
23:30
Taxis confirmed, gifts and cards packed into your car, nothing left behind.
Hired pieces go back, flowers go to whoever you choose, and your cards and gifts are waiting at home. A week later you receive a short list of every supplier who worked on the day, so you can thank them properly.
Write a few lines: the season, roughly how many guests, a place you love or are still looking for. We reply within two working days with a time for a first call.
