    nnabel Made Our Dream Wedding a Reality – We Can't Thank Her Enough!

    If you're looking for a wedding coach, planner, and all around amazing superhuman, stop searching and book Annabel immediately. She is an absolute gem, and I genuinely don't know how we would have survived the wedding planning process without her.

    When we first met Annabel, my partner and I had absolutely no idea what we wanted. No theme, no clear vision, just a vague idea that we liked the thought of a barn venue. From that blank canvas, Annabel helped us create the most beautiful, magical day that was so perfectly us.

    Planning a barn wedding meant that every single detail had to be thought through and organised from scratch, and I mean everything. Annabel was incredible at this. Nothing was ever a problem for her. She approached every challenge with creativity, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm. Even on zoom calls that had run 2 hours over because of my indecision! For two years, she was on hand whenever we needed her, guiding us through decisions big and small, always knowing exactly what questions to ask and what we needed to consider, when to push us, how to get to our end goal without feeling overwhelmed.

    Beyond her exceptional organisational skills, Annabel was our calming voice during the inevitable stressful moments. She has this wonderful way of putting everything into perspective and making you feel like it's all going to be okay, because with her, it always is. She also brilliantly fielded all the awkward family politics that arose (and there were a few!), handling delicate situations with such grace and diplomacy that we barely had to think about them.

    On the day itself, everything ran like absolute clockwork. Annabel made sure that my partner and I could simply be present and enjoy every moment of our wedding day together. It was perfect.

    We love Annabel and can't rate her highly enough. She's not just a phenomenal wedding planner, she became someone we truly treasure. If you want someone who will care about your day as much as you do, who will turn your uncertainties into something beautiful, and who will be with you every step of the way, Annabel is an amazing choice.

    Thank you, Annabel, for everything. We are forever grateful!

    Amazing wonderful lady

    Annabelle is the most wonderful woman! From day one, she was enthusiastic and genuinely excited for our wedding day. She thinks of all the little things you never would have considered, and I honestly can’t imagine the day without her. I never thought I’d need a wedding coordinator, but I am so, so glad we chose to have Annabelle. She took all the stress and pressure off us, handled every finer detail with ease, and was such a joy to be around. I would highly recommend Annabelle as your wedding coordinator—she truly is amazing!

    Fantastic from start to finish

    Annabel & Kat are some of the kindest people and just fantastic to have during the stress of a wedding.
    A can do attitude, so well organised and a smile (like it’s not just work for them)
    They just make everything so seamless on the day.
    Nothing was too much!
    I can recommend them enough.
    Thank you ☺️

    Amazing wedding planning/consulting/coordinating team!

    WBA made the planning process easy. Annabel was absolutely amazing! She recommended suppliers which fitted our style and budget, and made sure we had thought about every part of the day. We then had Heather (part of the WBA team) on the day who we had met for a few meetings prior as well as on the day before for a final run through of the plan at the venue. This meant on the day, I fully trusted Heather and did not think about a single logistic. She sorted all suppliers and organised guests and us in an impressively subtle yet effective manner. My now husband keeps saying he needs a Heather and Annabel to organise the rest of his life!

    Oh love! It means the world to read this! Thanks for having us along for the ride and we are overjoyed that it went so well! It was a pleasure getting to know you both and cheers to your happily ever after! A xxxx

    Effortless from start to finish

    Working with Annabel is effortless from start to finish. She helps bring your vision of the perfect wedding to life, seamlessly liaising with other suppliers—even when challenges arise. Her professionalism and dedication make the entire process stress-free and enjoyable!

    You need Annabel at your wedding!

    Annabel came to us via the venue we booked and I'm so so glad she did! Annabel knows weddings inside out and is such a help because you only want to do this once, she will make sure everything is accounted for and no detail is too small for her to help you get right! We had two consultations with her before the big day, and each one was helpful and guided us from vague ideas through to a formulated plan. On the day she even got stuck in to getting flowers arranged around the venue which was such a help since the bridal party was getting ready and the groomsmen were stand-up paddleboarding!
    Annabel is worth her weight in gold, and we will tell anyone who listens!

    Annabel truly stands out in her field!

    We recently had the pleasure of working alongside Annabel from Weddings by Annabel at a beautiful wedding held at Holesfoot in Cumbria. As professionals, we've collaborated with many wedding planners, but Annabel truly stands out in her field.

    From the moment we arrived, it was evident that Annabel had everything under control. Her attention to detail and seamless coordination was impressive. Every aspect of the wedding was meticulously planned, ensuring that the couple and their guests could enjoy the day without a hitch.

    Annabel's warm and approachable demeanour made her a joy to work with. She maintained a calm and composed presence throughout the event, handling any challenges with grace and efficiency. This not only put the couple at ease but also created a harmonious working environment for all wedding vendors involved.

    One of the highlights was the smooth integration of our Airstream Photo Booth into the evening's celebrations. Annabel ensured that the photo booth was set up in a prime location, easily accessible for guests and seamlessly incorporated into the wedding's timeline.

    Working with Annabel was an absolute pleasure. Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication to her craft are truly commendable. I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with her again in the future and would highly recommend her services to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding planner.

    Calm, kind, professional and on it!

    Annabel and her team have been wonderful.
    We had two calls with Annabel before the wedding and she has everything under control. She's calm and collected and funny with it. She helped James and I make rational decisions on parts of the wedding we were unsure on and was able to guide us through all our questions.
    On the day, Annabel and her team were invaluable. From making sure we were all running to time, to making sure we had 10 minutes to ourselves after the ceremony, conjuring up canapes we were afraid of missing! to providing me with an escape from varying conversations to make sure I could eat my dinner, Annabel was fantastic.
    Both sets of parents also commented on how smooth the day went and how personable Annabel is. Thank you so much for everything, (there is so much behind the scenes we don't see too!) - we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.

    An essential helping hand!

    We hired Annabel for our on the day coordination for our wedding at Silverholme Manor, overlooking Lake Windermere. The wedding was for 150 people. We hired her in the weeks before the wedding to help with the on the day coordination to take the stress away from our special day. When i first spoke to Annabel, i knew that she would be perfect for the job. She knew the wedding venue exceptionally well and the suppliers. She was practical, knowledgeable and above all enthusiastic! She was helpful on the day and helped make the day run smoothly. She was great with the wedding set up and ensuring everyone is sat where the needed to be in ceremony and for the wedding breakfast, organising suppliers on the day and making sure the day stuck to the programme! She was enthusiastic and i would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs help with their wedding! For such a special day, a helping hand is really essential!

    Without a doubt the best decision we made was booking Annabel!

    Everybody NEEDS an Annabel at their wedding. We honestly could not recommend Annabel enough and I don't even know where to begin. Annabel is a dream and it was the best decision we made to have her as a coordinator for our wedding day.

    Annabel is efficient, reliable, professional, approachable, warm, friendly, enthusiastic....the list could go on and on. Annabel immediately got our vision for our wedding day in our early video meetups and made us feel totally at ease. We chose to have a DIY wedding with the reception in tipis in a field- this meant that there were a lot of elements to come together so for us, it was essential we had somebody to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day. Annabel is incredibly knowledgeable about the local wedding industry and was quick to offer up advice and recommendations for various suppliers we were yet to book, and elements of the wedding we did not know where to begin with. In the lead up to the wedding, Annabel ensured that all of the suppliers we had booked were communicated with and were up to date with the schedule for the day.

    On the day she was like the best type of fairy godmother/Mary Poppins/knight in shining armour you could ever imagine- she ensured everything ran smoothly, was quick to advise people on where to be and when, and went absolutely above and beyond. When things were running a bit behind schedule, Annabel ensured that all of our suppliers were primed and were up to speed- we didn't notice if there were any hiccups as Annabel made sure we were able to have the best time, relax, and had zero to worry about.

    We finished the wedding feeling like Annabel is a true friend and part of us is sad that we won't have more regular meetups with her. We highly recommend Annabel- you will not regret booking her and make it the first thing you do!!

    Thank you Annabel!!
