Annaleigh & Brian’s wedding day at Ardington House was nothing short of magical!

They were an absolute dream to work with, and the day itself was stunning. Ardington House was the perfect backdrop for their celebrant led ceremony, as well as epic couple shots.
Head to my blog to read more about their beautiful wedding day.

I know we’ve only just started 2025 (and I’m getting used to writing the new year in my planner!), but if you’re a 2026 bride, it’s not that far away!

Planning a marquee wedding takes so much more work than at a venue, and a lot more forward planning too - you can’t leave it to chance!

My diary is open for 2026 to book in for Full or Partial planning, if it all feels a bit much at the moment then let’s chat!

“My husband and I would wholeheartedly recommend Joanna to all prospective brides and grooms. We found the month before the wedding to be the most stressful time, and having someone as experienced and organised as Joanna on board was incredibly reassuring. Joanna knew all of our local suppliers well and, alongside providing recommendations, she was also great at coordinating with them in the build up to the big day to ensure everything ran seamlessly. In addition, having Joanna around on the day itself was a great relief as it meant that me, my husband, and our friends and family could all focus on celebrating the occasion!”

Did you unwrap a sparkly present this year?Congratulations! 🍾💍🎉

Now the fun really starts!

Before you do any planning, I recommend asking a few questions to find the perfect wedding date:

📅 Which season would you like to get married in?

📅 What month did you meet, or have your first date? Are these significant dates you want to avoid?

📅 Are there any family birthdays or anniversaries to steer clear of?

Read more in my blog, where you’ll find a huge amount of planning help!

Christmas is just around the corner, and it’s the time of year I love the most. Getting together with my family, decorating the house and fully immersing myself in the traditions - old and new.One of my favourite things to do on Christmas Eve is to set the table for Christmas lunch - I just love being creative and every year I do something a little bit different.
Champagne plays a big part in the Wilford family Christmas, and I love starting the festivities with a glass by the fire with the family.

After the team work involved in preparing the turkey and Christmas dinner, it’s so lovely to go out into the fresh air with the dogs to give them a run around!

For me, Christmas is about the small things, and this year I intend to full switch off!

Has Bridgerton left you dreaming of a wedding filled with floral displays, elegant outfits and beautiful music?To live out your period drama dreams, a string quartet is the perfect choice. Picture the elegance of violins, viola, and cello harmonising together to create a rich, symphonic backdrop to your vows. It’s classical elegance with a timeless appeal.

String quartets can play a mixture of music, from classical to pop, and everything in between!

This one is for the book lovers…For those who dream of a wedding steeped in history, and are never without a book, the Bodleian Library is a truly magical choice.

It’s one of the oldest libraries in Europe, and its stunning architecture offers an unforgettable setting. Picture yourself walking down the aisle in the Divinity School, with its unbelievable ceiling and details.

It is such a unique venue and I love a Bodleian Library wedding. It is such a privilege to work on a wedding here and every wedding has been so different.

Hoping all your friends and family can make it to your wedding?Send a Save the Date!

A little note through the post, letting your guests know they’ve made the list, and to ensure that they pop the date in their diary before another lovely invitation comes along. Digital Save the Dates are also very popular!

Send your Save the Dates around a year before your wedding day, you’ll likely only receive responses from guests who know they can’t make it. It also makes wedding planning so much easier as you have a more accurate idea on numbers.

Happy Couples 🤍“From our very first phone call I knew that Joanna would be absolutely amazing and exactly who I needed to help pull off my perfect day. Throughout the entire process she went above and beyond to help me with any questions or problems that I came up against, however great or small, and kept things running smoothly. Joanna is exceptionally organised and practical but without being at all bossy or intimidating - I felt completely at ease running through plans with her and discussing various options and never felt swayed away from my vision.

Three days before the wedding day we had a huge problem with our marquee and Joanna (despite being at the hairdressers at the time!!) flew straight over armed with solutions and comforting words, it was exactly what I needed and I am so grateful to her. On the day itself Joanna was busy everywhere but also almost completely invisible - a true pro.
Thank you again Joanna, you were an absolute star and a pleasure to work with. Elizabeth xx”

The advantages of a winter weddingYou will have no expectations for the weather to be hot and sunny, but you can have some glorious dry, crisp sunny days.

Your date is unlikely to clash with other friends getting married.

You can take advantage of the dark evening with lots of candles and romantic lighting.

You can still have dreamy seasonal flowers.

If you are planning a honeymoon straight after the wedding, you can take advantage of all the exotic destinations such as the Indian Ocean.

Wedding Ceremony Inspiration…Imagine walking down the aisle to the ethereal sounds of a harp, its melodies floating on the breeze of your outdoor setting. Harpists are not only romantic but also incredibly versatile, able to play classical pieces or modern favourites with equal grace. Their unique sound adds a touch of magic to your ceremony.

When planning a marquee wedding, there are so many things to pull together and my advice is to source as much as possible from your marquee company. If you have hired a wedding planner, they will of course help you with this.You will need to think about furniture including a bar, catering tables, lighting, a generator, mobile loos and chill out furniture, all of which most marquee companies can provide or source for you. Trust me, it makes it all so much easier if it comes from the one supplier, and cuts down on delivery costs too.
