🏆 ONLY 4 DAYS LEFT TO VOTE 🏆

I’m absolutely thrilled to have been nominated for Best Wedding Planner at the Cotswold Wedding Awards and I need your help.

The competition is incredibly tough this year, I’m up against some truly talented planners including and all of whom do absolutely beautiful work.

The same planner has won this category for the past 9 years (and deservedly so) Winning this award would mean the absolute world to me and is a huge business goal for 2025.

After 12 years in this industry, pouring my heart into every wedding, your vote would be the ultimate validation.
If you’ve worked with me, been a guest at one of my weddings, or simply believe in what I do, I’d be so grateful if you could spare 30 seconds to cast your vote.

Thank you for your support ❤️

GUESTBOOKS

Don’t need to be boring and generic. Make them yours.

D&Z have a passion for cooking, so a cookbook guestbook was a no brainer. Guests picked a recipe they wanted the couple to make, then left a note on that page. Simple, personal and memorable.

If you’re more into travelling, use a globe or a map and have guests mark a place with their message. If music is your thing, turn a vinyl sleeve into your guestbook. Build an idea around what you actually care about, not what tradition expects.

SMALL GUEST COUNT. BIG IMPACT.

D&Z brought all their favourite people across the Atlantic for their Oxford wedding.

They took over the Bodleian Library for an intimate wedding. The smaller guest list gave us more creativity with the table set up. We explored a few layout options and the caterpillar table won instantly. Not only did it fill the Divinity School perfectly it looked incredible with the greenery tree arrangements and black, white and gold tablescape.

Huge thank you to all suppliers:

FIRST LOOK

Are you sitting on the fence about doing a first look?

This is why a first look is worth it.

Zero guests
Zero noise
Just you two

The moment couples remember most, nerves break and you get reactions you can’t stage.

Schedule time for a first look. I promise you won’t regret it.

SPECTACULAR SWAN

Matilda grew up in Stratford upon Avon and the swans on the river hold special meaning to her. N&Ms beautiful stationery included both an illustration and cut out swan, we also used swans on the cake. One simple motif, used with intent and perfectly tied together N&M transatlantic love story.

WEDDING TRUTH

Something is going to go wrong, a hard pill to swallow I know.

It wouldn’t be a wedding day if something didn’t go slightly off piste, there is however a very wide spectrum of “wrong” and your version of catastrophe could be very different to another’s.

It could be that the best man lost his cufflinks or it could be that the heat in the marquee was too much for the buttercream cake.

That’s why you hire me. The “wrongs” can be quickly turned around and often negated before you even know about them.

Side note the weather is yet to be under my control!

KIND WORDS

I thrive on reliving stress and giving couples their perfect day. So when I receive feedback like this, it’s so rewarding 🫶

“Katie was an absolute dream to work with. She handled every curveball with total calm and always had a solution ready. Her eye for detail is unreal, she thought of things we never would have and made the whole multi-day fusion celebration feel effortlessly beautiful. Thanks to her, we actually got to relax and enjoy it all. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

Thanks again to J&N for trusting me to create your perfect day, it was one to remember.

NEW BLOG ALERT

Feeling overwhelmed trying to remember what to ask when visiting wedding venues? 🤯

You’re definitely not alone. So many couples leave venue viewings either forgetting half their questions or realising they didn’t even know what to ask in the first place.

There’s a LOT to think about:
👉 Is linen included?
👉 Can we bring our own suppliers?
👉 How long do we have the venue before and after the big day?

In my latest blog, I’m walking you through all the key questions to ask and why they matter. 💡

If it’s all feeling a bit much, book a discovery call with me and I’ll help take that stress away.
