Claire Clarke Weddings

Using my Luxury 5* Industry knowledge I work closely with my couples to create a bespoke wedding perfectly representing their individual couple style.
(14)

gs and events in iconic London Five- Star venues such as Firmdale Hotels, Corinthia Hotel London and The Savoy Hotel, I truly have had the pleasure to make my dream a reality every day. After planning weddings and events in some of London’s most iconic venues for eight years, I wanted to bring a touch of five-star styled service and planning to the countryside. Claire Clarke Weddings was hence born, planning weddings UK wide (and Europe if requested as I really do love to travel, even if for work!) but predominantly focusing on Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. I understand weddings can be very overwhelming and with more couples leading such busy lives, many simply don’t have the time to carry out all the research involved. Managing all areas of ‘wedding related services’ such as helping to plan your proposal (some of you have some amazing ideas but simply need the help to execute them!), engagement parties, hen and stag parties, the rehearsal dinner, the wedding day and anniversary parties, I am on hand to help make your dream event a reality. I know that no two weddings or events are the same and therefore ensure that all my couples receive a bespoke meeting before embarking on our planning journey. Following this meeting, whichever service you choose, I will work alongside you to offer my expert advice and guidance along the way. I will assist with all aspects of the planning process from designing a personalised theme, negotiations, etiquette- advice and will be your personal support confidant throughout our journey together. Your wedding day is the celebration of your love story. If you do choose to have Claire Clarke Weddings on board to help plan your wedding, I am on hand to ensure your wedding day is a memorable one for you and your guests. I always endeavour to use my five-star industry knowledge to plan to the highest standard and give all couples a magical day. By doing this, I’ll help by giving you the wedding day you have always dreamed of and the perfect start to married life together.

Tonight my husband and I are heading to the stunning for their annual Harvest Supper so I figured posting this gorgeous golden hour shot from Harriet & Paul’s wedding was rather apt.

Now the big question… what should I take as my gift to the Harvest Supper?! Let me know in the comments 👇🏻

An on-the-day wedding co-ordinator is an extra pair of hands (literally!) to help ensure your wedding day is exactly as you’d hoped.

With slots available for 2025, I’d love to be your extra pair of helping hands!

My on the day co-ordination package includes:

💫 An in depth meeting prior to your wedding to handover all details of your day (and see if there are any gaps to be considered).
💫 A write up of your wedding day to help streamline your mind but can also be sent to your suppliers so they have a full run down of the logistics.
💫 I’ll then pick up communications with suppliers just before your day so you can start relaxing and enjoying the last few weeks of your engagement bubble!
💫 And finally, I will be on hand with you from the morning through to the end of the night (should you wish) to ensure your day runs perfectly with any eventualities dealt with discreetly so you can enjoy the day, worry free!

With 14 years of experience planning weddings and events, I use my five-star industry knowledge to plan to the highest standard and give all couples a magical day. By doing this, I’ll help by giving you the wedding day you have always dreamed of and the perfect start to married life together.

I hope to hear from you soon.

We may have blue skies in the UK today, however there is certainly a chill in the air which is making me want to be back in this gorgeously sunny (and warm) location in northern Italy!

Also, let’s just take a moment for how wonderfully green and luscious the gardens and surroundings at this beautiful venue really are. Owner Nicola, looks after the grounds personally, and honestly her individual touch can be seen and felt throughout the vibrant grounds. It really is a venue so magical you have to see it in real life. 🪴 💚

Today I’m travelling into London for what is planned to be (unless any wonderful planners need any Autumn/ Winter on the day support) my last wedding of 2024.

It’s been quite the season with my own London, Italy and Northamptonshire weddings along with the opportunity to support some wonderful other planners with their clients’ big days.

I want to say a huge thank you to all my clients this year for taking me on your journeys 🤍

Being able to take a small slice of this amazing wedding world and call it work will forever stay a ‘pinch me’ moment. I’m forever grateful to all my clients, suppliers and venues who make my passion for creating weddings possible.

Now, here is to spending more time planning 2025 and 2026 weddings!

(This gorgeous snap of my stunning bride, Emily just landed in my inbox this morning and was too lovely not to share 🥹)

Have you considered how important the little details are for your wedding?

I’ve been there as a bride myself, and I know how much thought and work goes into getting the perfect wedding dress however just like any outfit, finishing off your wedding look with the perfect accessories is so important; it takes your look from WOW to WOWZER and can make all the difference for your overall style!

The same can be said for the extras to your table styling too. A tablescape can go from looking quite flat to popping with the right candles or the right stationary to levitate your chosen florals.

My job as a Wedding Planner is to ensure that we think about all of these little extra details from the styling of yourself and your bridal party through to the table styling and the other areas. I’ll even speak to my couples about buying in ribbons, ring boxes and styling elements to ensure that all of the small items that tell the story of your wedding a thoughtfully photographed and styled.

After all, a story is not written by just pages in a book, it’s the words on those pages that bring the story to life. 🤍

When planning a destination weding, it’s so important to think outside the box.

Traditional seating plans are much harder to achieve when planning a destination wedding as ensuring an A1 seating plan board gets to your destination in one piece can be quite a gamble.

I therefore work very closely with my couples to create a seating plan with a bit of a difference.

For this wedding we use stunning silks and dress pins to attach es**rt cards to the most amazing floral hoop. Not only does this style of es**rt table given interactive experience for guests as they find their seat but as it is also the perfect opportunity to give your wedding a styling level up.

Are you having a destination wedding? Let me know how you’ve chosen to let guests’ know where they are seated. Are you having the traditional table plan or are you opting for a more interactive es**rt table?

Re-introducing your wedding planner duo!

If you’re planning a wedding at this gorgeous venue, you’ll very likely have been in communication with Pamela already. With years and years of experience under her belt you’re in amazing hands.

But since Pamela can’t be everywhere, she’s stepped back more now from the on the day side of the weddings, handing over to the amazing team of hosts and catering managers on site.

And that’s where I come in!

For those still looking for a ‘constant’ by their side, I will be on site from the moment beauty starts through to the last guest leaving site. I will work alongside the team at Castello Monaci to ensure everything runs without a hitch.

And since I’ve known Pamela for 10 years now (!!) we are like a well-oiled machine- ready to give you the wedding of your dreams!

Let me know in the comments if Pamela was your contact planning your big day. Let’s give her some love 🥰🥰

When you have a wedding at your family home, you need to have someone by your side to pull everything together so you’re family isn’t having to, allowing them to enjoy the day too.

But being your family home, you have to put a lot of trust into that person to know they’ll respect your home, be trusted with the keys for the day and being to close the site down at the end of the night.

It’s a big ask to put that much trust into someone without knowing much about them and for that reason, I can’t tell you how grateful I am that my clients choose me to be their on the day planner.

With slots available for 2024 and 2025, if you’re looking for an on the day manager, I’d love to be your extra pair of helping hands and your trusted sidekick.

My on the day co-ordination package includes:

💫 An in depth meeting prior to your wedding to handover all details of your day (and see if there are any gaps to be considered).
💫 A write up of your wedding day to help streamline your mind but can also be sent to your suppliers so they have a full run down of the logistics.
💫 I’ll then pick up communications with suppliers just before your day so you can start relaxing and enjoying the last few weeks of your engagement bubble!

Our Story

I know it’s a film but after watching Jennifer Lopez in The Wedding Planner I dreamed of being that attentive, organised, polished and extremely calm wedding planner that the guests at a wedding fall in love with. So I chased that dream. And, after years of planning events and weddings, you could say that wedding planning is no longer a career but instead a passion. With experience planning weddings and events in iconic London Five- Star venues such as Firmdale Hotels, Corinthia Hotel London and The Savoy Hotel, I truly have had the pleasure to make my dream a reality every day. After planning weddings and events in some of London’s most iconic venues for eight years, I wanted to bring a touch of five-star styled service and planning to the countryside.
