Eek! *Nerves* Another wedding draft sent off this week! 🤞🏼

It's totally nerve wracking when I send drafts off, cos just what if the couple hate it!

I mean I've spent hours hanging with them so in theory they shouldn't, but it's quite an anxious time waiting on their feedback!

I'm sure you other creatives get it 😁

It 'ain't all glam!

It takes a lot of work behind what you see to get things perfect for couples. The first months of the year are always super busy pulling the final pieces together for ceremony scripts to send off to lovely couples who's weddings will take place soon enough!

So, as it is cold outside today, I'm on the sofa (I know, I know, if I had a H&S officer they would tell me off!) working away (it's been 8.5 hours now, so I'm considering a glass of pop!)

Not exciting, but keeping it real!

The reality of at weddings isn't all glam!

It's the attention to detail and the helping hands that happen seamlessly that makes the wedding day memories so much better.

For me, my first job when I arrive at a venue is to check in with each partner and ask what they need, is anything stressing them, and do they need a glass of water!

And then jobs evolve from that!

Here's Kim ( hairdresser) helping an awesome bride with a hoop, whilst I chuckle and take pictures 😂

This week we gathered for a farewell full of love —around 250 heavy hearts joined together at Vinters Crematorium in Maidstone to honour the life of a truly remarkable man, Mark. Friends and family traveled across the UK, and from as far as Texas, and family even joined via video link from Jamaica. It was a testament to just how deeply he was loved.

His wife, J, made the beautiful decision to book a double slot, giving us the time to truly tell his story, share memories, and, most importantly, hear from those who knew him best. I highly recommend you consider this should you ever need to plan a funeral at a crematorium.

P, a lifelong friend, spoke first—nervous, but absolutely delivering a heartfelt tribute that captured years of friendship.

J followed with words so raw and moving, reminding us all to keep saying his name, to keep his memory alive, not just for her but for their son, B.

Then came B himself. I knew what he was going to say, but I hadn’t realised he had memorised every word. His tribute was a perfect mix of love, humour, and deep admiration for his hero—his dad. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Or out of it, as there were far too many people to fit in the chapel.

Finally, N, representing the Maidstone Rugby Club, read a poignant and beautiful poem, spoken with such eloquence.

My role was to weave the service together, sharing highlights of Marks incredible life and the ways we can all continue to support J, B, and each other. It was truly one of the most beautiful ceremonies I’ve ever had the honour of leading.

And then, as he would have wanted, they celebrated. The After Party at The Orangery was bursting at the seams—a true reflection of how loved he was.

I don’t usually share funeral details, but J was happy for me to, because she wants everyone to know just how loved Mark was. And honestly, after seeing the sheer number of people who came together to honour him, it felt right to acknowledge it.

As we listened to the final piece of music, we were reminded: soon come... Remembering Mark will be with everyone in his own time and his own way.

He may not be here in the way we wish, but his presence, his love, and his legacy remain.

So take the photos. Embrace the day. Hold onto the moments, because one day, they’ll be the most precious thing you have.

And if there’s one thing we know for sure—Mark never did anything by halves. So, true to form, he made sure his farewell was absolutely unforgettable.

Humbled and honoured.

Love takes many forms, and today, we celebrate them all. ❤️

🩷 Romantic love – the butterflies, the deep connection, the 'I choose you' moments.
🩷 Friendship love – the ones who cheer the loudest for your wins.
🩷 Family love – whether by blood or by choice, the people who see you at your worst and love you anyway.
🩷 Self-love – because the longest relationship you'll ever have is with yourself, and you deserve kindness.
🩷 Love that lives on – remembering those who shaped our hearts and whose love still surrounds us in ways we can’t always see.

However you’re spending today—wrapped in someone’s arms, making memories with friends, honouring a love that’s no longer here, or simply treating yourself—this day is for YOU.

Don't be duped into believing love letters are just for couples! 💌 Writing a heartfelt note to a friend, your folks or siblings, or *shock horror* even yourself can be a beautiful act of love.

Use day to tell those loved ones what they mean to you, and I mean all loved ones 🩷

Yeah, go on, send the dog a love note too 🐾🐾

Love comes in many forms. ❤️

It’s in the way your friend checks in on you, the way your pet greets you, or how you take time for yourself. It's how the other half puts effort into how he cuts the avocados to impress you!

This coming week, I invite you to celebrate ALL kinds of love.

My husband booked me a holiday for my birthday, a week in Menorca.

It's my second home and my gift was to go and see my parents for some QT.

Managed to pack in some venue visits, some admin stuff, and a trip to the beach.

One of my highlights was joining the folks at Isla Del Rey where they volunteer on Sundays. Gardening, restoring and many hands helping to keep the famous Bloody Island in good enough nick for visitors throughout the year. It's a biosphere reserve and stunning.

So if you're planning a Menorca wedding I encourage you to suggest your guests visit the island, for a tour, lush wine and food, visit to and support the volunteers 🩷

A venue is only as good as its staff...

Hats off to for featuring one of THE best team member I've ever had the privilege to work with a number of times in last night.

Filippe has been working at the hotel since 1967 🩷

Not only does he know the business inside out, he's one of the nicest humans I've ever met and an absolute privilege to work with. He gets the clients needs and quirks, and has an awesome giggle.

Choose a venue where you click with the staff on the ground, you'll thank me for that advice after your wedding day!

The beginning of the year is always full on with meetings and writing. Which is fab and I 🩷 it.

However it makes for really boring photos for you lot 😂

As it's so busy with both jobs, it's really important to remember to step outside so here are some pics from outside spaces.

My new year's resolution is to be mindful of self care and not forgetting about myself. Leaving the office on time, working in bite sized chunks and getting fresh air and exercise.

Hope your resolutions are still standing strong!

When you book me as your celebrant, you don’t just get me; you get direct, instant access to my personal number via a shiny new wedding group chat! 🥳

Because planning your big day is important, and I want to be there for the “OMG, can we add a unity shot of tequila?” moments and the “What time should Gran arrive for the confetti line?” questions.

But let’s be real for a sec… this isn’t your only wedding WhatsApp group, is it? ... What else is going on?!

💬 The OG Squad Chat: Your mates scheming hen/stag do shenanigans, probably with a side of inappropriate memes.
💬 Family Feud HQ: Where Aunt Karen and Mum are debating napkins like world peace depends on it.
💬 The Wedding Dream Team: A mildly chaotic mix of suppliers trying to figure out table setups and timelines.
💬 The Secret Secret Chat: That one your besties made to keep you from stressing about the things you don’t need to know (like Uncle Bob’s allergy to lilies).

It’s chat-central out here, isn’t it? But here’s the deal: My group chat is different. It’s fun, stress-free, and all about YOU. Need to vent? I’m here. Got a last-minute idea? Let’s make it happen. 💛

How many wedding group chats are YOU in right now?

Quick Group Chat Etiquette Reminder:
✔️ Swearing? Fine by me – this is a safe space for all your colourful vocab!
✔️ Urgent? Drop me a message anytime, but remember I also work a 9-5, walk the dog, and occasionally sleep. 🐾😴
✔️ Chat limit? Nah, there’s no such thing as TMI when it comes to your wedding plans – I love it all!

Last week, I traveled to Manchester to visit someone very special to me. I d
sadly knew how significant the trip would become. Over the days, we shared stories, laughter, and tears, and together, we even began shaping a ceremony that will honour her life. It’s a privilege I will carry with me forever.

Life doesn’t always follow our plans, and sometimes it feels like everything happens all at once. I’ve been reminded of the importance of pausing, breathing, and embracing the moments that matter most.

This pretty little rainbow today felt like a little nudge to keep going—one step at a time.

Thank you to everyone who’s shown patience, kindness, and understanding. It means the world. 💛 I'm now back online and catching my tail 😊

Oh isn't heartbreak such a high price for love? 💔

Although I have deep sorrow of having experienced this week, I must share how amazing they are.

From the moment they took care of S, they took the pressure and burden off of the shoulders of her loved ones.

They supported her with humour, dignity and compassion.

They made the experience of losing a loved one peaceful, calm and... well... as nice as it can be.

A BIG thank you to the team for looking after mumma and her cubs, you will always be appreciated.

(and fussing over the doggos!)

And yes... This booze trolley was from the hospice rounds, that meant people were not denied simple pleasures. (Yes there was a tea trolley, but who needs a picture of that 🤣)

Thank you all, you're wonderful 🩷
