Based in Gloucestershire but can cover the whole of the UK and beyond!

Whether you're planning a marquee wedding in your parents' garden, a barn or a DIY venue - I've got you covered.

After an initial chat to discuss your wedding plans so far, we'll then arrange a catch-up meeting around 6 weeks before the wedding, where you can then 'hand over' your suppliers to me and let me do the final liaising, allowing you to enjoy those final few weeks before the big day. I will then arrive at your venue in the morning to ensure everything is set up as planned, meet your suppliers, and ensure everything runs smoothly. Here are just a few of the things I'll take care of:

• Liaising with your suppliers during the final lead-up to the day
• Creating a detailed timeline of the day
• Help with setting up the finishing touches on the morning of the wedding
• Making announcements on the day where needed
• Helping with the turnaround of rooms - from ceremony to dinner to dancing!
• Controlling the music for the day where needed
• Taking extra care with friends or relatives who struggle with mobility so they don't miss anything important!
• Attaching button holes, helping with the dress and making sure your bouquets get put into vases later on in the day
• Assisting the photographer with gathering certain groups of guests for photos to make better use of your photographer's time
• Lighting candles, encouraging guests to sign the guest book, replenishing the sweet bar!
• Helping the catering team and other suppliers on the day where needed
• Being the dedicated point of contact on the day
• Discrete handling of any issues that may arise on the day
