the best day of my life

Claire, thank you so much for making my day that extra little bit special and completely stress free. I used bashful couples due to me being very unprepared and not trusting myself enough with little things that I knew I would forget. Claire was very calm and collected which reassured me and put me at so much ease. my (now) mother-in-law is celiac ( gluten free ) and I was very nervous about any mix ups causing harm to her, however claire went around on the morning of my wedding and checked all name placements on both the table and food orders, this put me at so much ease as it was just yet another thing off my mind and I could focus on myself. Claire is a friendly, kind and caring woman and I am so glad that my now husband and me chose to get help from bashful couples. I would 100% recommend this business to any brides ( and grooms ) that have any worries/ concerns about their big day! thank you so much again claire!

Happy wife, Happy life

Even before I got married I would use the phrase "happy wife, happy life" and how true it is, especially when trying to take the stress of planning a wedding away. When my (now) wife told me about bashful Couples after meeting claire at a wedding fayre, my first thought was 'what a waste of money.' However, that was far from the truth. After a couple weeks of us both being stressed and overwhelmed from trying to plan a wedding, focus on costs and live our day to day life. She finally convinced me, we will forever be grateful of our choice. It's safe to say gents if you want an easy life book bashful Couple now

My special day

Claire at bashful couples was an absolute life saver for my wedding day!! We chose the extras to get help on fitting, venues etc, it’s safe to say that it was the best decision we made. Me and my now HUSBAND are quite shy, anxious people, Claire took all this away and asked questions for us when we needed help. She then made sure to do a routine call with us every month to make sure everything was up to scratch and to go through our checklist. Claire paid attention to every little detail especially as it got closer to the day, she checked in with the vendors about a month before and then again the week of the wedding to make sure everything is definitely in place to make our day as special as it could be. Quite a few of our guests has food intolerances such as celiac, dairy free, Claire was helpful on making sure there would be enough food options for these guests. on the day Claire arrived at the venue 3 hrs before the reception to make sure everything was all in order with things ranging from making sure the flowers had arrived, to thing such as even checking at the table placements were all correct. Myself and my husband will forever be grateful for bashful couples making our day the best it can be!!

We cant recommend enough!

Well what can I say other than a MASSIVE THANK YOU!!!
I have never planned a wedding and the thought of wedding planning was so stressful.
I had no idea where to start and you just took the pressure off and eased us in gently.
Even my husband was impressed & enjoyed the planning.
Claire checked in once a month and went through her designed checklist together and the next steps.
She helped us attend our wedding venue as we had no idea what questions to ask.
Claire then contacted our vendors a month before and then again 2 days before to make sure everything was set ready for our day.
Claire then arrived 3 hours prior to us getting married and checked that everything was sorted, set up and ready to go.
She even checked all the name place settings were correct
You will not be disappointed with the service Claire can provide.

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
