Wedding chair hire in Hertfordshire

I am currently sourcing lots of different chairs for wedding for next year. There are so many to choose from and they will all give a totally different look to your wedding in Essex. If the venue you have chosen doesn't have great chairs, you could cover them. I have to say I am not a big fan of chair covers but it's a very personal thing and there are some venues when you need to have them because the decor in the room needs them! If you don't want chair covers then have a look at some of these ideas for chairs for your Hertfordshire wedding.

A Gorgeous Essex wedding

This year I have been looking after a stunning Essex wedding venue called, Creeksea Place. It really is a hidden jem of a venue, only taking on a handful of bespoke weddings each year. A very seasonal venue, open for weddings from May to the end of September, we are currently right in the middle of a busy season.
All of the weddings so far have been lovely and the couples a pleasure to work with, but every now and then you get a wedding that just stands out. Not sure this one was because of the great suppliers who had been hired or a bride who had such great taste and vision. This one ticked so many boxes for me and it was all in the details.
Since the wedding, the bride as approached for advice on becoming a wedding planner herself and is assisting me later this year with one of my big weddings. It's a funny old world!

Entertainment for your London Wedding

Couples are now looking to add the wow factor to their big day and its doesn't have to cost a lot. I have been exploring all sorts of visual options as well as the musical ones for weddings this year.
Here are some of the most popular.

The Photobooth
Over the last two years, these have become increasingly popular and a great way to get all of your guests involved and of course you get to keep the photos. Photobooths come in all shapes and disguises these days. For instance, VW Beetle booths and taxi cab booths.

Singing Waiters
Since the first group got together and launched the concept of the singing waiters, every agency seems to offer them. A great surprise for guests whist they enjoy their wedding breakfast. You can also have singing guests. These are literally singers dressed as wedding guests that at any given moment will burst into song

Fireworks
If you want to add a real 'wow' factor to your evening reception then foreworks will do it. They can be very expensive and you do have to make sure your chosen wedding venue in Essex will allow you to do this but they can look stunning

Styling
As a London wedding planner I am always looking at styling for clients and little touches that can add a lot to the overall look and style of the wedding. For example, a carousel in the grounds of your venue, some fairground games, a wedding bouncy castle and illuminated names and initials. The list is endless and they are so many specialist companies that can help you with all of these extra entertainment/wow factors for your London wedding.

A Marquee Wedding in Surrey, Essex or Hertfordshire

Quite a few of my clients have marquee weddings and over the last twelve months I have been asked to look for something different than the tradtional framed marquee. With that in mind I thought I'd share some ideas with you for your marquee wedding in Essex, Hertfordshire or buckinghamshire.

A Christmas wedding in Essex



I just received this montage of a wedding in Essex that I helped a client plan at Christmas. There is something quite magical about a Christmas wedding in Essex, especially when you have your wedding in Essex at the stunning Leez Priory.

A review of 2013

2013 saw my second year of trading and what an incredible year it has been. I completed five full plan weddings and have booked in some wonderful weddings across the South East for 2014.

I had a couple of marquee weddings over the summer, one on a farm and a very aeornautical wedding in Essex. There was an East London wedding in a church, plus a two day very chic London city wedding and finally a gorgeous Christmas Essex wedding at the stunning Leez priory.

Each wedding was totally unique and individual, which is exactly how it should be as I truely believe that a wedding should reflect a couple. I couldn't do my job without all the wonderful suppliers with whom I have worked with this year and the continuing support of UKAWP.

2014 will see not just my own business expand as I take on more clients but I'm also delighted to be co ordinating the weddings at the stunning Creeksea Place. If you are looking for a beautiful Essex wedding venue, then I urge you to take a look at this very magical place. It promises to be a very exciting year and one I'm very much looking forward to.

Here are some of my favourite shots of 2013. Happy new year everyone. Thank you to Laura Babb Photo, Ellie Gillard, Tom Hallida, Mathew Bishop and Tracy Williams
