What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Excel Spreadsheets! I love a spreadsheet and I used one to plan my own wedding, with separate tabs for venues, florists, entertainment etc, including costs, contact numbers, meeting dates and so forth.
Also, make sure to enlist the help of those in your wedding party to do all those things that you won’t be there to do or won’t have time to do – such as being the liaison person for the venue or photographer, directing guests to where they need to be, as well as making sure you and your partner’s glasses are topped up on the day!
Describe your typical process with a couple.
I work closely with my couples, incorporating their feedback, to make sure that the ceremony I write for them is as individual as they are as well as being everything they want it to be. My fees also include a (totally optional) rehearsal ahead of the big day.
How do you ensure a stress-free wedding?
If there is any element of your wedding that is particularly important, then highlight this to your venue, photographer, cake maker etc and ask a trusted member of the wedding party to follow this up. But most importantly, on the day, take a deep breath, remember the reason that you and your partner are both there and soak up every moment of your special day.
What is your favourite moment at a wedding?
It has to be just after the ceremony, seeing the couple in their 'Yes! We did it!’ moment and seeing the joy on everyone’s faces.
