Ann Nicholas Wedding Planning

If we could give Ann 10 stars out of 5, we would. We can not overemphasise what a transformational effect Ann had on our wedding experience, both in the run up and on the day. Ann was so considerate, imaginative, organised, thoughtful, attentive and FULL OF WISDOM. She made every step of what is a challenging process so smooth and achievable, I don’t know how we would have managed it without her. And on the day, she was a ninja. Anticipating problems before they happened, putting out fires with minimum fuss and all without us even being aware of her being there! She’s a genius. So so so good at her job and on top of that, such a wonderful, kind and celebratory human being. If you’re still deciding about who to go with to plan your wedding, stop now and hire her. I guarantee you won’t find anyone better.

Words truly can't describe how incredibly grateful we are to have had Ann help us plan our wedding for us. She is one the most positive and fun people to have around, and she made the entire planning process so enjoyable and exciting for us! She thought of so many details we wouldn't ever have thought about, which meant all the little details that truly made the difference on the day were perfect. She stayed on top of all of the arrangements with the venue and our suppliers, meaning we were able to do the fun things, while she handled all the stress for us. On the day of the wedding we didn’t have to worry about a thing - we knew that Ann and Sarah would be on top of it all, so we were able to enjoy the day to the fullest. She created the most magical weekend for us and all of our guests commented on how outstanding all the little details and the decisions we made turned out. We will wholeheartedly recommend Ann to all of our friends getting married!

Ann was incredibly professional and helped us to plan our dream wedding. She was flexible, knowledgeable, and understood where how we should allocate our budget.. Ann made the process fun and stress free.

Where do we start. When planning our wedding Ann was one of the first elements of our checklist. Having never met, but found her on Instagram (via another wedding at our venue) we were sold by her enthusiasm, professionalism and love from the first meeting. We booked Ann to bring the final elements of our wedding together and she didn’t disappoint. As far as we go, I am a complete control freak so handing the reigns over to someone else wasn’t easy, but she made me feel the upmost confidence at all times. I couldn’t have done a better job myself - She went above and beyond what was expected of her throughout our relationship and provided much needed support (including make up top ups throughout the day). The day went by without a single hiccup (as far as we were aware) and we will forever be thankful for her support. She may have shared this journey as a supplier but we’ve ended it as family! Thank you for everything Ann, you’ll always be a special part of our big day.

From the moment Ashridge House recommended Ann, we knew we were in excellent hands - we truly couldn’t have made a better decision for our special day. Planning a wedding in the UK while living in the U.S. could have been a logistical nightmare, but Ann made the entire experience feel effortless. Her organization, detailed spreadsheets, countless video and phone calls, and constant communication (often in multiple group chats with my husband and my mom) kept us connected every step of the way.

Ann was endlessly patient, supportive, and refreshingly honest. She never hesitated to share her professional insights, drawing on her experiences from previous weddings. As a perfectionist and a very visual person, I know I’m not the easiest client, but Ann learned how my mind worked and how I envisioned the day. This was especially helpful when she communicated with vendors and suppliers - she knew exactly when to dig deeper or ask for more details before looping me in.

Two weeks before the wedding, we made a last-minute change to our celebrant, and then another change just two days before the big day. This was incredibly stressful but Ann was cool, calm, collected and found a solution within minutes.

On the day itself, it felt like watching a beautiful production unfold. Ann and her amazing team were everywhere, managing suppliers, keeping everything on schedule, and solving little issues (including when our junior groomsman forgot his shoes!). The entire day flowed so perfectly that we were able to be fully present, soaking in every beautiful moment, knowing that Ann had everything handled behind the scenes.

Ann, Gareth and I are endlessly grateful for the magic you brought to our day. We will forever look back on it as the most beautiful and meaningful day of our lives, and it’s truly all thanks to you.

Words cannot describe how grateful we are to Ann for all the hard work she put in to planning our wedding. She took all the stress away and made it fun! On the day she was simply incredible, she was the heart of why our wedding came together to be everything we ever dreamed of! On top of all this she is just an incredible person and an absolute joy to be around. Ann is truly the best and we could not recommend her more highly!

Ann went above and beyond with our wedding. Managing our highly idiosyncratic availability across continents, she helped us locate a wonderful venue and then coordinated every aspect of the preparation. Ann and her team took on so much hard work to keep us on track and well-prepared, and saved us numerous headaches on the day. People told us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. We couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out and more grateful for her.

As James said in his speech, Ann didn't just plan our wedding, she made it better than we could have ever imagined. People kept asking us how stressed we were in the run up to wedding, the answer was, we weren't because Ann had it all under control! Thank you Ann!

Ann gave us the care we needed, handled every detail, and made magic happen.

We engaged with Jen from Ann Nicholas a couple of weeks before our wedding as we realised we needed support for on the day coordination. Jen got up to speed on everything immediately and was able to help us in the lead up as well.

Jen has unbelievable attention to detail, made communication very easy and was a true professional. She understood all the little details we wanted to execute and was a fantastic support on the day itself, ensuring everything was as we had asked for from our suppliers and making sure the day went smoothly.

We were so grateful to have Jen with is on the day; it took so much pressure off us knowing she was there to ensure our vision for our big day came to life. We could not recommend her enough!

Ann was an absolute gem throughout our entire wedding journey, embodying the essence of true luxury in every step. From the very beginning, she was more than just a planner—she felt like a true friend we could rely on. Every task she undertook was executed with the utmost professionalism and genuine care, ensuring every detail was perfect. Ann’s dedication was evident in every moment, and the vendors she recommended were outstanding, each contributing to the magic of our day.

Words cannot fully capture the impact Ann had on our wedding—it simply would not have been the same without her. Her expertise, warmth, and unwavering support brought our vision to life seamlessly, making us feel assured and confident throughout the process. Even on the day of the wedding, she was the person everyone could completely trust. No one felt stressed because we knew we had Ann, managing every detail flawlessly so we could all enjoy the day without any worries. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Ann, and we are forever grateful for her invaluable role in making our wedding an unforgettable celebration.

If you are considering a wedding planner, Ann is it. Choosing her was the best decision we made.

What an amazing journey we had with Ann planning our dream day for slightly less than a year. We had the smoothest experience possible throughout this whole time and had been surrounded by the best suppliers out there. Thanks to Ann's contacts !
Everything went like clockwork on the day.
Thank you so much for creating the most unforgettable and stress-free day possible for us !

We are so lucky we found Ann. We can’t praise Ann enough, she transformed our entire wedding experience and made it fun at every stage. If you’re searching for a 5* planner who genuinely cares, AND can deliver any style of wedding you like - look no further. Ann is the perfect blend of exceptional organisation and genuine compassion and care. Her knowledge and experience is down right incredible. And yet - she is so approachable, warm and fun. If you’re looking to plan your dream day and have the best time whilst doing it, Ann is your person. She thinks of things that didn't even enter our heads, there is no way on this planet we could have ever organised the day we had without her. Not only would we have never gotten around to it, but we never ever would have found the incredible suppliers that made our wedding so magical and unique, as only Ann has them in her magic contact book! Seeing how suppliers would prioritise Ann is also testament to the relationships she has built with them over the many years she’s been in the industry, she knows so many people in so many places and will no doubt find you exactly who you need, even if you don’t know where to start. She guided us every step of the way, nothing was too much trouble. Even when we were thinking about changing our venue half way through the process Ann was always calm, always ready to do whatever we needed. The thing that really stands out is that she always has your back - no matter what. She will never do something just to make a cut or because it will look better, she is a genuine advocate for YOU and your day, however you want it. On the day itself there is nobody else we would have trusted. She was so ON IT! Anticipating problems before they even arose, running around doing every single thing you can think of and working so hard none stop - we didn’t need to lift a finger, she took care of it all. We were free to enjoy our day to the max, and I cannot stress enough what an incredibly positive impact that had. And she genuinely cares about you, for example making sure when we got back to our room there was pizza there waiting for us as she knew we might be hungry, what a legend. Ann is so amazing, we are friends for life now, and every single person in our wedding party loved her, that’s the kind of impression she leaves on you. Ann is our wedding hero and the best planner in the UK, end of. Best money we ever spent. If you want a magical and fun planning process AND the best day of your life on your wedding day, book her now!!

Ann is very personable and reassuring and she's was able to give sound advice and direction throughout the planning process.
She is very experienced and a real problem solver (rebuilding our wedding cake due to it being damaged during delivery springs to mind!).
We both could fully relax knowing that Ann would have us covered for any eventuality or mishap during the day whilst injecting a lot of fun along the way.

Ann Nicholas is one of the most hard working, professional and kind people we had the joy of working with while planning our wedding! Everything went swimmingly because of her. Do not hesitate to book her for your wedding!!!!
