FAQs

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Remember it's your day! It's what matters to you and what you want which should be included in the wedding. Venues are working with you not against you so don't be afraid to ask. There's always a compromise they can come to if you want something in particular included.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

I once worked on a wedding where every name card had a little polaroid attached to it with a picture of the guest and either the bride or groom which I thought was particularly cool!
