I'm Naomi, a Birmingham-based Wedding Planner and On-the-Day Coordinator covering the Midlands and beyond. I plan bold, vibrant weddings that feel unmistakably you, authentic at every turn, high-energy, and anything but ordinary.

I work with modern couples who aren’t here for tradition-for-tradition’s-sake. You want impact. Colour. Energy. A wedding that surprises your guests and feels more like a full-blown experience than a formal event.

I’m a Buffalo hot sauce addict, lover of live music, pub gardens, cocktails & wine in the sun, travel, and home-cooked food shared with good people. Which probably explains why food, drink and atmosphere sit at the heart of everything I do.

My entire career has been spent behind the scenes of hospitality, weddings and events. With over a decade of hands-on wedding venue and catering management experience, I understand how weddings actually run. I’ve managed high-pressure logistics, fed 7,000 guests in two hours, navigated last-minute floods, and kept everything moving calmly, efficiently, and with a “let’s get this done properly” mindset.

I’m not a shouty, performative planner. No high-pitched excitement, no fluff. Just a real, organised, kind human who thrives on timelines, lists, logistics and making things flow seamlessly. And yes I know food and drink are one of your top priorities (trust me, I’ve lived it).

My couples want weddings that make a visible, magnetic impact, bold design, vibrant colour, incredible food and drink, and an atmosphere that pulls people in and keeps the energy high all day and night. Show-stopping without being stiff. Refined, but never boring.

Picture us tucked into an independent café, flat whites in hand, bringing your wedding vision to life. You front and centre. Me firmly in your corner. Honest advice, total transparency, no stress, just a day you can fully relax into, celebrate hard, and be completely present for.
