Cannot recommend Gemma enough

I cannot recommend Gemma Lavender enough as planner for your wedding. Her expertise and connections in the industry were invaluable. We felt confident that she had everything under control, allowing us to focus on the joy of our day. Gemma Lavender is a top-notch planner who goes above and beyond for her clients. If you want a stress-free and magical wedding day, Gemma is who you need by your side.

We couldn't have done it without her

We thought a small wedding in the family garden would be straightforward, but it was anything but! Gemma's on the day coordination as well as her calm, collected presence and advice in the run up was invaluable - we couldn't have done it without her help. We would highly recommend!

We don't know what we would've done without her

When I found out I was pregnant during the planning process, we hired Gemma to help us bring our 130-guest, traditional Jewish wedding to life. This was her first Jewish wedding and she did an incredible job learning about our culture, so she could properly support us with planning and coordination. The wedding was absolutely incredible and we don't know what we would've done without her. Thank you, Gemma <3

Gemma is a "life-saver"

There is only one way to describe Gemma and that is 'life-saver'. All my little worries about various things, she had an answer for them ALL! Gemma made the process stress free and fun, it felt like working with a friend. I honestly cannot gush about her more and was so privileged to have her as part of the whole wedding process.

Best possible wedding planner

I do not even know where to begin with Gemma. She was the best possible wedding planner we could’ve asked for; we are located in the US and working with Gemma was amazing, so I do believe having the opportunity to work with her locally is just as great an experience (if not better)! If you need a wedding planner in Scotland Gemma is without a doubt the person to go with:) we miss her dearly and wish we had another wedding to plan with her!!

Gemma was an absolute star.

Gemma was an absolute star. She's planned our wedding at 2 months notice, took it in her stride and managed to make our day perfect. Gemma requested a Zoom meeting with us (as we are not based in the UK at the moment) and asked us what exactly we wanted. On the same day she's sent us a choice of venues, vendors, florists, photographers, celebrants, bakeries and hair & make-up artists. Gemma works with a variety of suppliers and every one of them provided a service of the highest quality. Although I'm sure booking dress fitting appointments does not normally come in her job description, she even sorted that out for me! I highly recommend booking Gemma to be there on your day as with her support there was no way anything could go wrong. Her quiet presence was reassuring and I knew that she was there and ready to deal with any issues. She's got a great eye for detail, managing to spot my partner's buttonhole twisting (important if you want perfect photos), she protected my hair from the rain with her own umbrella and saved my Manolo shoes while sacrificing her own ALL IMPORTANT folder! A real hero of the day! This is a seven star review. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Thank you so much, Gemma!

You need Gemma in your life!

If you are planning a wedding you need Gemma in your life! Gemma helped us with 'On the day' wedding coordination - from setting up the day before to ensuring everything went smoothly on the day. She was happy to get stuck into anything that needed done and did an amazing job of keeping us all calm. She is also just so lovely that it was a real pleasure to have her as part of our special day, like having a very calm, organised friend by your side! I honestly can't imagine the day without her, thank you so much for all your help Gemma!

I'd recommend her to anyone!

Gemma at Lavender Blue helped my wife and I to plan an elopement during lockdown and a subsequent wedding party. Gemma is really organised, she knows lots of local vendors, and she had some great suggestions to help personalise our day. I'd recommend her to anyone!

I would give Gemma 10 stars!

Thanks to Gemma, my wedding went perfectly, she is amazing and I could not have done it without her help! With a pandemic thrown into the mix, Gemma did not have an easy job but yet she was always so positive and helped me through some tears and meltdowns. Gemma knows a lot about the wedding industry and has many useful contacts and recommendations. She helped us find everything from the venue, florist to the celebrant and everything was wonderful. On the day itself, she ensured everything went off without a hitch, I would give Gemma 10 stars!

Choosing to work with Gemma was truly one of the best wedding decisions we made.

Choosing to work with Gemma was truly one of the best wedding decisions we made. After having postponed our first wedding due to Covid we had lost a lot of excitement for our big day and therefore decide to totally re-write all our plans. This is when we decided that a wedding planner was needed and my goodness we couldn’t have made a better choice. Not only did Gemma bring so much excitement back to our special day but she became our most trusted advisor. Nothing was ever too much for Gemma and her knowledge and expertise in the wedding planning world was superb. We could not recommend Gemma more and will be eternally grateful for the all of the time and effort she dedicated to us and what was the best day of our lives.

What is your most memorable wedding?

Nothing is too unusual for me! The weirder the better, please!
