An Autumn Wedding

As we move swiftly into the Autumn I started thinking about things to enhance your Autumn wedding in Hertfordshire. I got married in the Autumn, I love the fact that you can have a beautiful sunny day, with a chill in the air and the colours are so amazing. That was the reason I choose October to marry, that and the fact we wanted to see New England in the fall for our honeymoon. Believe me when I say it was amazing.

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!

Thank you's

I absolutely love my job and it's a relatively new one for me. My previous life was very different, but that's another story. It's immensely satisfying when you see a day you have planned come together. You share laughter and tears with your clients, a cliche I know, I always cry at weddings, I'm just a hopeless romantic. This may be one of the reasons I decided to do this for a living. I really couldn't think of a job that brings more job satisfaction than planning probably the most important day in someone's life. I never take that responsibility lightly.

You don't do the job to be thanked but I can't tell you how good you feel when clients take the time to email or even send you a quick text to say thank you for what you have done

Here are a few from this year......

Louise

I just wanted to say thank you very much for yesterday.  We had a super day! The whole day was perfect and all our guests loved the venue (none of them (except Steve's Dad) had been there before).

We thought the band were fantastic

We've had so many comments about how good the food was so I'll be sure to drop Justin and Angie a line to let them know.

Thank you

Katie and Steve

Just a little message to say thank you for making our dream come true. I knew i loved Creeksea, but wow yesterday it took my breath away. You made everything run sooo smoothly and I am forever grateful

Hi Louise 

I hope you're well? 

Just wanted to say thank you for everything in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself. You've been a great help and support and we're incredibly calming on the day!  All of the staff at Creeksea we're fantastic and we've had the most amazing comments with regards to the venue and the attentiveness of all involved. If you could please pass on our thanks! Quite a number of our guests are now planning long weekends in the barns, when we're next there we'll be sure to drop by on the off chance we may get to see you and thank you in person!   

The ever grateful  Jag & Neal x

The Wedding Season so far...

Weddings are in full flow at the moment, we call it silly season for a reason as there is always so much to do. The year has been brilliant so far, I have planned weddings in Essex, Buckinghamshire and West Sussex. Later in the year I'll be planning them in Hertfordshire, South London, Central London and I'm delighted that a couple of them will be near home, in Essex. I have worked with some unbelievable suppliers and some fabulous clients. Here are just a few of my favourite pictures of the year so far. More to come......

What Makes a Good Wedding Videographer?

A Stunning Essex Wedding

I had the privilege of helping plan a stunning wedding at the very beautiful Down Hall Hotel on the Essex/Hertfordshire border. The building dates back to 1332 and is surrounded by 110 acres of parkland. It has  a luxurious interior and ornate ceilings and really has that grand wow factor.
The team at Down Hall are wonderful, as a wedding planner in Hertfordshire its great to work with a venue that have such a professional team of people making your wedding day perfect.
Here are just a few shots from the day, more to follow

Thank you - An Essex Wedding

I don't think there is a job that gives you better job satisfaction than helping to plan someone's special day and its great when they take the time to let you know you have done your job. This was posted on my Facebook page after a stunning wedding at Down Hall Country house Hotel in Essex last month...

"Thanks for everything Louise
You were truly amazing! Couldn't of done it without you "

Creeksea Place

I have the pleasure of  over seeing all of the wedding co ordination at the stunning Creeksea Place,  a wedding venue in Essex. The historical beauty of this Tudor mansion, with its lawn and lakes, will provide a unique and exquisite setting for your special day. Creeksea Place is the most magnificent wedding venue in Essex, exclusively yours for the day. This is a completely unique location for your wedding and  it allows you to have a totally bespoke wedding. Which is what Louise Perry Weddings is all about.

Civil ceremonies can be performed in any of the six licensed settings,they include the magnificent Walled Garden or under the marble pergola in the Orchard. Reception drinks can be served in the Walled Garden or on the lawn, with magical views of the manor house, Victorian bridge and Lakeside Lawn. It is one of the few wedding venues in Essex where you can have an outside ceremony, even when the weather is a little overcast.

Traditionally, the Wedding Breakfast and Evening Reception are held in the beautiful silk lined marquee, with breath-taking views of the manor’s striking façade that will captivate both you and your guests. After sunset, the glorious buildings and grounds are illuminated with spotlights, candles and burning torches. It really is a magical place to get married and can only be fully appreciated by a personal visit and then myself and the outstanding team at Creeksea Place can  meet with you to discuss your plans.
