What they hire
- Helping Hands Wedding Planning (hourly) — £35 A flexible, hourly wedding planning service. The client picks the areas they need help with, such as planning, crafting, contacts, or friendly advice, and books the planner's time as needed.
- Partial Wedding Planning — £1000 A mix of professional planning advice ahead of the wedding plus on-the-day support. It includes a minimum of five hours of admin ahead of the wedding, wedding-eve venue support, and on-the-day support such as coordinating suppliers or running the wedding music.
- Full Wedding Planning — Price on quote A full planning service that runs for 12 months up to the wedding day. It includes everything in the lower packages, plus monthly meetings (weekly nearer the date), two two-hour venue visits, a styling consultation, and full venue coordination on the day. The price starts from £2000.
- Extra Planning Pizazz (luxury/destination weddings) — Price on quote A bespoke planning package for luxury UK weddings with more than 150 guests, or for destination weddings abroad. It gives the client more of the planner's time, access to specialist UK and worldwide suppliers, and exclusive support during the wedding week.

- Use the contact page on the website. During wedding days, especially weekends, replies may be delayed. Admin hours are mostly Monday to Thursday, 10am to 5pm.
- Can we meet before booking?
- Yes. The first chat is usually a Zoom call. An in-person meeting is also possible at a convenient location or at your venue, ideally within Herts, Beds or Bucks; a fee applies for in-person meetings.
- What if we are not a good fit, or you are not available for our date?
- That is not a problem. The planner knows other wedding planners and can introduce you to one that suits your needs.
- Do you have a list of recommended suppliers?
- Yes, a large and growing list of suppliers whose work the planner can vouch for. None of them pay a commission for the recommendation.
- What areas do you cover?
- Mostly Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, plus parts of south Cambridgeshire, north London and south Northamptonshire. Other areas are possible but may cost extra, including destination weddings abroad.
- How much does a wedding planner cost?
- The number of hours is agreed with you in advance, so you know the cost from the start. Past client wedding budgets have ranged from under £5000 to over £35000.
- What experience does the planner have?
- Wedding and event planning since 2012, with over 12 years of experience, following a background in stage management and event organising, including managing a Bedfordshire wedding venue.
