Andrew can make the perfect wedding day
Why use me as your wedding planner?
One of life’s most stressful events can be wedding planning. Kent, Sussex and London are full of venues and suppliers, so it’s not surprising to hear that an average couple spend between 250 to 300 hours organising their wedding (not to mention any problems they may encounter).
Which is where I come in. Using an experienced, professional wedding planner will take the stress off your hands and allow you to focus on your busy working lives. Then I can co-ordinate your special day, turning your dreams into reality.
Expert advice
With 17 years experience building relationships with suppliers, venues, and brides and grooms, you will be sure that all aspects of your wedding will be covered – from etiquette and protocol, to contract negotiations, seamless decision making and full wedding day management.
Natural
Peace of mind comes from knowing that your wedding is in the hands of an experienced, confident professional; someone who will allow you to relax and enjoy every moment of your special day.
Attentive
There are so many suppliers and venues in the Kent, Sussex and London regions that offer wedding services – from photographers, florists and cake designers, to marquees, castles and country house hotels. But when you lead a busy life there simply isn’t time to research or visit every single one.
So leave it to me and I will source exactly what you want for your wedding; whether that’s finding the perfect venue, supplier, making the booking or confirming all the arrangements for you – nothing is too much trouble. I’ll always be one step ahead, anticipating your needs, and you can be sure that my eye for detail will guarantee that everything is perfect.
Creative & Charming
I will always focus on your needs and ensure that you feel welcome and comfortable. So you can be sure that whatever theme you may be considering, or visions you have, I’ll never say no. We can share ideas freely and I’ll come up with different options to suit your needs and wishes.
Supplier Search
I can source every aspect for the wedding of your dreams, and possibly even a few that you may never have thought of. All so that your special day is a day to remember.
All my suppliers are reliable and high quality; people I have used before and trust. However, if you are not happy with my recommendations I will look for alternatives and ensure they are fully checked with references, visiting each supplier personally myself.
I only use professionals who are at the top of their field for providing quality and service. And my extensive list of contacts can save you hours of research and appointments.
For each supplier you ask me to find you, I will provide you with a list of up to three suitable specialists, based on your criteria, together with full contact details.

Venue Search
Choosing your wedding venue will be one of the most important decisions you will have to make. It will also be one of the most time consuming elements of your wedding. But bear in mind the choice of your venue and location is limited only by your imagination.
I can offer help with finding that unique venue for your wedding and reception as part of my wedding planning. Kent, London, Sussex, and the other Home Counties have plenty to offer, and throughout my time in the hospitality industry I have built up an unrivalled list of venues and locations in the area, perfect for your big day. Using my service will save you hours of research and appointments, and you can be confident that your chosen venue will match your requirements.
Following your first free wedding consultation, I will provide you with suggestions of up to three suitable venues – based on your preferred dates, number of guests, budget, theme and other criteria. I would also be delighted to accompany you to any initial meetings at the venues to discuss your wedding plans.

Wines for your wedding
There are many occasions why you either don’t know what wine to choose for your wedding or which wine to buy as a wedding gift or just to say thank you.
In October 2009 I passed with merit the Advanced Certificate in Wines and Spirits which is a nationally recognised qualification awarded by The Wine and Spirit Education Trust.
This has provided me with the knowledge not only to match food with wine, but also to carry out wine tastings and dinners and to educate people in choosing wine when going out to restaurants as well as selecting wines from your local supermarket.
I am delighted to say that I have built up a great relationship with two prominent wine suppliers who have provided me with preferential rates, which I am able to pass onto you, supported by my knowledge and expertise when choosing wine for your day.
Personalised wine
I am also able to personalise wine labels for your wedding at a supplementary charge.
