Questions
Things couples ask us
Anything else? Send us a note and we will reply within a day.
Twelve to eighteen months gives you the widest choice of dates and suppliers, but we regularly plan beautiful weddings in six. For destination weddings we suggest starting a year out.
Yes. We plan at our own estate, at venues across the country and abroad. We know most local teams well and will visit any new venue with you before you commit.
Each package has a fixed planning fee, agreed up front and paid in three stages. We never take commission from suppliers, so every recommendation is made for you.
Of course. Many couples start with partial planning and move to full planning as the day grows. We simply credit what you have already paid.
We love them. Our Partial package works beautifully for twenty to forty guests, and we can design an intimate elopement abroad in as little as three months.
