The work you put into our ceremony in the month leading up to it meant a lot to us. We got so many compliments on our ceremony, from the choice of words you read, to how 'on it' you were with running things. We know we would be in safe hands and will certainly be recommending you to people in the future.

Denise was wonderful from start to finish. From the initial conversations and questionnaires to the vow renewal, Denise went above and beyond. Whether it was sending sweeties and treats with each set of documents, or ensuring my sister in law was comfortable in her wheelchair. Nothing was too much bother. Such a lovely smiley person. Positivity breeds positivity.

Thanks so much Denise for everything, from helping find suppliers to making everyone feel welcome and comfortable on our wedding day at Rowton Castle. You told our wedding journey perfectly and we thank you too for helping Jon's mum get through her reading - she was so nervous. You surprised us with little treats with each questionnaire and the memory box was such a lovely surprise too. You really do go the extra mile, Denise.

As soon as you’ve booked your Discovery Chat to find out if we are a good fit to work together, you’ll receive a confirmation email, do make a list of things you want to know. I will explain how we plan your wedding, find out more about you both to write your wedding story and explain what you need to do to ensure the legalities are covered and understood.
You need to be reassured that you are going enjoy your wedding day and that everything is going to run smoothly. With this in mind, we’ll meet, either on Zoom, in person and whenever possible, at your wedding venue. This is when we go through your wedding script and your wedding day itinerary.
As your Wedding Planner I am the first person at the venue to co-ordinate the suppliers and ensure that everything is in place and the last person to leave making sure suppliers have removed everything. As your Celebrant, I make sure you enjoy your wedding service and help you create lasting memories. Remember, happiness and joy sneak out of your eyes and rolls down your cheeks – that’s why I bring tissues!
