My Story
A little bit about MY story…

As a child growing up, barefoot and free, in the Dorset countryside, I fell in love with the magic of movie-making, dancing along to Fred and Ginger, wearing diamonds with Marilyn and eating Breakfast at Tiffany’s. This led into a fourteen-year career working as an Assistant Director in Film and TV and, from there, into my own love story and a return to my W

est Country roots. Everything that I have lived - from Samba dancing in Rio, to ski seasons in France; music festivals to film premieres - feeds into my work vision. For me, every event is a production, built around the script of my clients’ lives. Handpicking influences from their own personal stories, I immerse myself in creating the complete picture - focusing my years of experience on bringing their vision to life - and executing it seamlessly. Working with a wonderful collective of local suppliers, I can turn any event - be it an intimate gathering or a big marquee celebration - into an unforgettable memory. Rosie:
I'm a mother of two, comes from Dorset and spent 14 years chasing dreams in London in the Film industry, then found a gamekeeper who stole my heart so I moved back to the country. Loves nothing more than a walk in the country, a swim in the sea and a cuddle from her babies now a bit grown up!!!!! ... But never says no to a party!!

Cue the romance. 💕 Valentine's Day is around the corner, no plans yet? that's ok, I've got a 3 ideas for you.. Whether it's a candlelit dinner for two or a cozy movie night, make this moment unforgettable.

💡Re-create you first date - Get back to the beginning of your story, were the sparks first ignited. Reminisce on those few first dates of small talk and sweaty palms.
💡Head to the movies - An old classic but worth it. Dinner and a movie a perfect excuse to get of the sofa and head out. Try a bougie theatre, one that serves alcohol and nice snacks to elevate the whole experience.
💡Have a staycation - Switch off the internet, cook up a feast that doesn't take much to serve up, light some candles and re connect with conversation, there is nothing more romantic than a sexy night talking to your fav.

Venue Shoutout - Forde Abbey. I had the pleasure working here last year on an incredibly hot early September day.

Hint 💡 make sure your timings work so that you gather your guests by the fountain before sunset! The light is incredible and the picture opportunities are endless.

This truly stunning venue is home to the Mortlake tapestries, woven from the internationally famous Raphael cartoons, now housed in the V&A, the Abbey has a rich and varied history spanning 900 years. Through the centuries, it has played host to Cistercian monks at prayer, 19th-century philosophers and politicians, by misfortune implicated in the Monmouth Rebellion and more recently, the backdrop to the Hollywood adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s ‘Far From the Madding Crowd,’ starring Carey Mulligan, Michael Sheen and Tom Sturridge.

Set in 30 acres of incredible gardens and home to the highest powered fountain in the country, the award-winning gardens include topiary-lined vistas, colourful herbaceous borders, an arboretum, and a bog garden, which together with swathes of early Spring bulbs and camellias provide all year-round interest. With a huge amount of photo opportunities this venue is the most perfect summer garden wedding location.

Heavenly Holly, in the woods near Reading!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m asked regularly about budgets, what is a realistic budget for a wedding?
I’ll tell you now, the national average as published by big wedding blogs like Brides is completely unrealistic. Certainly if you’re not DIYing every element and asking a wedding planner to work with you. What was £30k two years ago is now more like £50k.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be realistic as to what you want to spend and keep your expectations inline with that. For example. I did a wedding two years ago for 160, some very lovely guests invited, but the budget and what the couple wanted to spend was very little! £30k
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what does £30k get you?
Basic trestle tables with no linen, bench seating that was also used for the ceremony and an incredible hard working team to re- locate them after the ceremony before guests got to the tent.
A caterer like that helps you to make every penny of your budget work hard, and service incredible whole roast chickens with simple salads.
A brilliant tent company that works hard and delivers a stripped back simple installation with simple lighting.
Borrow bud vases from friends and find a lovely local flower grower to supply buckets in your colour pallet (don’t be fussy about what you want, go for seasonal and mixed colours to keep the costs down)
Find a fab photographer you trust! I wouldn’t scrimp here if you can, but there are suppliers for all budgets you just have to find them.
Don’t include the bride or grooms outfits, ring, and late night after party, get friends to DJ and supply their own equipment, keep the booze out of the budget if this important to you (£10k on top) but otherwise use all the supermarket sales and check what their return policy is, if you don’t buy to far ahead, can it be returned if not drunk or damaged!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Lastly, if you can work alongside a planner that offers consulting & Coordinating then ideal. For more info on this service head to my website.
