Last update: August 2026

At Pearls and Promises, a planning company based in Blackburn, Lancashire, I believe wedding planning should feel exciting, effortless, and a little bit magical. I’m a bubbly planner with a genuine love for beautiful details and meaningful moments, offering everything from fully bespoke wedding planning to full, partial, and on-the-day coordination packages. With over five years’ experience working as a wedding coordinator in the Ribble Valley – a much-loved and well-known area within the wedding world – I’ve had the privilege of supporting couples through every stage of their wedding journey. From those early ideas and plans right through to the final moments of the day, I bring a calm, caring, and reassuring presence, making sure everything runs seamlessly while you focus on soaking up every second and enjoying the experience.

My goal is simple: to create a wedding that feels luxurious, personal, and completely stress-free, so you can truly enjoy the magic of your day , I manage the chaos whilst you soak up every moment.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels effortlessly elegant and beautifully personal, I’d love to hear from you. I'm always happy to meet for coffee and cake or a walk / talk meeting. Look forward to hearing from you 😍

Brilliant wedding planner

Sarah had a huge impact on our wedding & there’s no way we could have done it without her. We chose to have a DIY focussed wedding, getting married in a church then having a village hall reception - sourcing our own catering, bar & even staff.

We brought in Sarah towards the end of our planning process when we needed some extra support - and Sarah’s knowledge, experience and calm demeanour was hugely beneficial in pulling together the different aspects of the day.

We also booked Sarah for on the day coordination - she managed the caterers, suppliers, service & bar staff with no fuss whatsoever, meaning the day ran smoothly despite so many moving parts, and we were left to enjoy the day without worrying about details.

Sarah constantly went above and beyond for us - both in the run up to the big day, on the day & even packing down the following day. We can’t thank her enough for everything she did for us and our guests.

For anyone considering a DIY wedding - do it, we had a brilliant time with so many personal touches and details. Just don’t attempt it without an experienced planner & coordinator stitching everything together!

If you’re considering booking Sarah for your big day - don’t hesitate. You won’t find anyone better at what she does.

Best decision I’ve made for my wedding!

Sarah was absolutely amazing as our wedding coordinator. From start to finish, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect.

She prepared everything meticulously, coordinated all of our vendors on our behalf, directed the staff seamlessly, and made sure the entire day ran smoothly without us having to worry about a thing. Thanks to Sarah, the morning of our wedding was calm, peaceful, and completely stress-free, which is something we’ll always be grateful for.

She was incredibly organised, professional, and always one step ahead, but what really stood was she made us feel completely at ease and truly cared about making our day as special as possible.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding coordinator. Sarah played such a huge part in making our wedding everything we dreamed of, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Sarah, for everything—you are an absolute star!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hello I'm Sarah

Hi, I’m a passionate wedding planner who truly believes there’s nothing more special than helping couples create one of the most meaningful days of their lives.

At 46, I’ve followed my heart into wedding planning, turning something I love into something I get to share with others. I’m married myself and a proud parent to an 18-year-old, so I understand just how important life’s big moments are—and how quickly they come around.

I plan every wedding with intention, love, and genuine happiness. For me, it’s all about the details—the little touches that make your day feel completely personal and unforgettable. I absolutely love spreading joy and making sure every couple feels supported, relaxed, and excited throughout the entire journey.

Your wedding isn’t just another event to me—it’s a story, and I’m here to help you tell it beautifully.
