Your Questions Answered…

 

Do you plan destination weddings?

Absolutely. We adore a destination wedding. Whether you’re looking for a European celebration, an Island escape in the Caribbean, something Stateside, we offer planning for all destinations. We also love a UK destination wedding, where our couples are based overseas but looking to marry in the UK.

Do you work with a preferred suppliers list?

After 10 plus years in the industry, we’re lucky enough to have worked with the great and the good of the wedding and event world! This has meant we have an excellent Black Book of suppliers we often work with, however there is no obligation and we’re always open to working with new fantastic suppliers. The one goal is always that we find the right supplier for you and your needs, whether that’s an old faithful or someone new to us!

Where are you based?

We both live in beautiful and sunny Suffolk!
Victoria is based on the Suffolk coast, surrounded by countryside which she enjoys with her husband, Gryphen and their miniature dachshund, Finn.
Caroline is based further inland, enjoying the delights of town-living with her children, Darcey and Rufus.

Will both of you be there on the event day?

Yes, for our services where you book both of us for the planning, we will be present for the duration of your wedding or event. Supported of course by our amazing team.

Do you have a team or is it just the two of you?

We do indeed. We’re supported by a wonderful team who all have their own specialist areas! From hospitality pros, to detail driven creatives, our extended team are brought in to your event as required.

Do you work at specific venues?

No, we work all over the UK…and the world! We work at some spectacular venues, but we also love to create events in private spaces, often creating private marquee weddings or parties for our clients.

Do you offer On the Day Coordination?

We do…and it’s never just one day! We can offer final management, often known as on the day coordination, where we get involved in those final weeks so you can hand over plans and comms with your suppliers and we will tie up loose ends, oversee set up, the event and take down.

How do we pay for wedding or event planning?

Our payment terms typically split the fee into four 25% payments. One at the point of booking and the rest at equal intervals between that point and one month prior to your wedding or party.
For our percentage based fees, the fixed minimum is spread in the same way as above, with an adjusting final balance two weeks post-event.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, as a professional planning company we are covered with public liability insurance and undertake risk assessments for every event we plan. Having your own wedding or event insurance is still advisable.

How did you two start working together?

We first met in 2013 when Caroline was partnering with a venue to create an event and the partnership was in need of some assistance. Victoria came on board, and the rest as they say, is history! We spent the next four years working together on and off and becoming great friends. One day at an event debrief session, we realised we had incredibly complimentary but varied approaches and passions when it came to planning. We realised the potential in officially combining forces and in 2017 set up our business together.

What is a wedding consultation?

A wedding consultation or planning consultation is a meeting where we will discuss your thoughts, ideas and needs when it comes to your wedding or event. From this meeting we will put together our proposal of how we could work for you. You can read more about ‘What Happens at a Wedding Consultation’ on our blog.

Do you offer work experience?

We love to support those looking to build a career in wedding and event planning. We do occasionally offer work experience, and also run several courses and mentoring opportunities for those looking to train to become a wedding planner. Visit our Train with Us page to learn more.
