Lizzie such a difference to our experience and allowed us to genuinely enjoy every moment of our wedding day. We’re so grateful we found her! 🤍 Six weeks before our wedding, after planning everything ourselves, I started to feel overwhelmed by all the final details, especially as we were both trying to wrap up work too. Finding Lizzie was such a relief. She helped us coordinate our suppliers and pull everything together in the final weeks, giving me so much confidence that everything would come together. Looking back, I only wish we had found her sooner! Having Lizzie with us for the whole wedding day was honestly invaluable. She kept everything running seamlessly and dealt with little emergencies before they ever reached us. She allowed us to stay in our wedding bubble, spending time with our guests and soaking up every moment. Lizzie is incredibly organised and thinks of absolutely everything, but she is also so kind, calm, reassuring and joyful. She was exactly the person we wanted around us on our special day. My mum and bridesmaids were also so grateful to have her there too! My maid of honour actually asked at one point ‘is this part of Lizzie’s job or is she just a really nice person?’ as she was helping me cool down and get into my second dress. She also worked brilliantly with our venue, Gaynes Park, who even commented afterwards on how amazing she was to work with and how lucky we were to have her. If you’re debating whether you need a planner or coordinator, do it…and book Lizzie!

The SA Events team were incredible during the full process. We worked with Sharane for almost 18 months to plan & the full team were there for on the day coordinating. She helped us save money with her suppliers who were truly brilliant as well as managing the suppliers we booked ourselves. The regular calls help keep us accountable on things we needed to do but were always fun too! On the day, the whole team worked hand in hand with the venue team to make sure it was seamless. They addressed any challenges without bothering us, made sure we were so well looked after. They even had two ‘bridal assistants’ - who spent the full day making sure I had exactly what I needed. I was worried it would be uncomfortable but they were brilliant at somehow not hovering while also being there exactly when I needed them (for a fan, my lipstick, to take something to my room) and meant my MoH got to enjoy the day too! I couldn’t fault SA Events at all - incredible value for money (also extremely affordable) while making the process feel fun & so well taken care of. We’re going to miss working with Sharane so much!

When we first started planning for our wedding we were unsure if we would need a wedding planner. And being on a tight budget, we weren't sure if it would be the best use of our funds. After we spoke with Sian we quickly decided she was worth it, and it was 100% money well spent. Sian was professional and friendly throughout, her communication between us and suppliers was fantastic. At times when our own planning momentum had dropped, she quickly popped up with loads of helpful suggestions. Whether it was a DIY project or organising suppliers she was fantastic every step of the way. Her knowledge of the industry, venues and suppliers was invaluable. Especially with all the legal jargon that comes with the contracts! Any time we needed a catch up, or had any concerns she ensured we had a call and quickly eased our worries. In the run up to the wedding, even though we had an unexpected bereavement and had to make late changes to our plans, Sian took everything in her stride, and her supportive and empathetic attitude to us, our families, and guests on the day really meant a lot. We highly recommend Sian and cannot thank her enough!

Poppy’s enthusiasm and clear display of experience and expertise was what got us hooked. It was a big decision for us to make, as it was not only a single wedding day we had to plan for, but a whole weekend at Euridge Manor! Before we chose Poppy, we had not only looked at several planners but also had meetings with a few potential ones. But the decision to go with her quickly became the easiest one to make. From the very beginning, she was so nice, friendly, and always happy to help with absolutely anything. Throughout the entire process, she made everything feel smooth and stress-free. What really impressed us was how precise she was with our requests, nothing was ever overlooked. She had such a clear and thoughtful way of formatting and organising everything, which made it so easy for us to talk through and make decisions without feeling overwhelmed. She was incredibly organised and her approach was efficient, supportive, and no question was ever too much trouble. On top of that, her company felt so warm and welcoming, and it truly felt like we had someone on our side the whole way through. We genuinely could not have done it without her the last 18 months, and thanks to her, the planning was not just manageable, but thoroughly enjoyable. We would do it all over again! It was so fun! We also want to give a special thanks to her wonderful team, who worked so hard and supported us throughout the wedding weekend, they helped make everything run so smoothly and allowed us to simply enjoy every moment. Our guests said it was the best wedding that they have ever been to. For those who are still deciding on a planner, look no further! Thank you so much for everything Poppy, you helped give us memories to cherish forever! Sarah & Andrew The Hebditch’s

We couldn’t have asked for a better events organiser to help with our wedding than Ella! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, even when unexpected last-minute hiccups came up - and there were a few! Ella handled every challenge calmly and professionally, liaised with all of our vendors, and made sure things were taken care of without us having to stress. Her attention to detail, organisation, and reassurance throughout the whole process really allowed us to just enjoy our day. I can’t recommend her highly enough – if you want a planner for any event, who makes the journey as seamless and stress-free as possible AND pays huge attention to detail, Ella is the one!

Amazing service and beautiful decor! Steph really took a lot of care in ensuring that our decor was aligned with what I had envisioned for our theme and it honestly came to life so well. She came with us for a visit to the venue beforehand which was really helpful and showed that she really cared about providing a great professional service. The photos have come out so beautifully, all thanks to her lovely work and dedication, whilst also dealing with our caterers when it came to table decor, was not an easy job but she really adapted well to any last minute shortcomings on the day. Great job and would definitely recommend Monet events! Steph, you’re an absolutely delight to work with!

Bliss Nuptials (Ronke) comes highly recommended by me. Her calm personality, professionalism, integrity, experience of over two decades and commitment to offering nothing short of excellent service are the reasons why. Ronke coordinated and organised vendors to ensure the success of our event. She looked after our guests and made them feel comfortable and special. Ronke listened, managed the timeline well, and always delivered on her promises. We trusted Bliss Nuptials and were not disappointed; no ball was dropped! We definitely got value for our money. Thank you Bliss Nuptials!!

Anastasia was an amazing wedding day co-ordination. In the weeks running up to the wedding she made sure we were well organised and prepared for every eventuality. On the day Anastasia ensured that we and the guests were well looked after and helped our dream day come true. Anastasia was reliable, warm, easy to communicate with, understood our vision for the day and worked tirelessly to make it a reality.

Nikki was brilliant at organising a surprise party for my husband. Using her kept everything secret and from the decor to the entertainment  everything ran perfectly and we had an amazing evening. Thank you so much

We had the absolutely pleasure of having Hayley from Amae Events as our wedding planner. From start to finish, Hayley was incredibly professional, organised, and attentive. We were planning at ‘at home’ marquee wedding which has its challenges. With the package we chose, Hayley ensured we had everything booked/ covered. On the day itself, Hayley and her team coordinated all of our suppliers seamlessly and made sure everything ran perfectly. When a small issue came up with one of the suppliers, they handled it calmly and efficiently without us even needing to worry. Thanks to their hard work and attention to detail, we were able to fully relax and enjoy our day knowing everything was under control. I cannot recommend Hayley and Amae Event highly enough to anyone looking for a wedding planner who truly goes above and beyond.
