wedding planner London. The year so far...

This is only the second year of trading for Louise Perry Weddings in Essex and it has been a great year so far with the business continuing to evolve and more weddings planned for next year and the prospect of taking on the wedding planning for a stunning venue in Essex which I am very excited about, but more on that later.
I have coordinated the day for the lovely Rachel at a fantastic venue in East London, St John's in Hackney. I planned a lovely flying inspired wedding for Jeremy and Sarah in Essex. I assisted a wedding planner colleague of mine in pulling together a very complex Summer wedding in a tipi in Hertfordshire. I look forward to a two day extravaganza in London for my wonderful client Claudia and then we move onto next year which sees another two day wedding in Buckinghamshire for 250 guests and a trip to St Lucia.

A country wedding in Hertfordshire

As the sun began to start shining in the Summer I was making the final touches to a lovely country village fete wedding in Hertfordshire with a wedding planner collegue of mine, Lisa Baker from Just Bespoke.
It had been quite a complicated and involved wedding to plan as there were so many suppliers involved in the day. We had everything from fire eaters to Mr Marvel! but the weather was wonderful for us and the tipis looking stunning at the very pretty North Hill Farm in Chorleywood. Here are a few of my photos from the day.

Rachel and Gus - A London Wedding

Back in June I was booked to co-ordinate on the day for Rachel and Gus. They had already confirmed their wedding venue in London, it was to be held at St John's in Hackney, which is a stunning church.
The venue is huge and we needed to look carefully at the decoration that we would use so that it didn't feel to big.
Rachel was very keen to plan the wedding herself but she knew that she needed some help on the day with set up and break down and she also wanted some support with some of the suppliers she hadn't yet sourced, which I was happy to do.
 A wedding planner in London can give you as much or as little help as you need and every quote given is totally bespoke, just like every wedding we help with.
We don't offer packages, as brides aren't pakcages and every wedding we help to plan is totally unique.

Destination Weddings

I am getting quite a few enquiries from couples in Essex who would like to get married overseas. I am currently planning a wedding in the Caribbean for a client and hopefully I'm heading off to Italy for a study trip with the www.ukawp.com this year and then early next year I am off to Las vegas to look at some venues and meet with some suppliers and these won't be your typical Vegas weddings.

Whilst looking for stunning locations for a wedding ceremony, this venue was recommended to me. It has some of the wonderful views you'll find in parts of the Caribbean but won't cost anywhere near as much to travel and stay there. This is the Santo Winery in the exclusive Greek island of Santorini.

It is quite simple to get married on a Greek Island. All of your documents need to be translated into Greek and this can be done here in the UK or they can go to Island you have chosen for your wedding, where they will be translated. They need to be there four weeks ahead of your wedding. You must be on the Island five working days before and a minimum of one day after to have your marriage leaglly regsitered.

Sarah and Jeremy. A marquee wedding in Essex

I was approached by Sarah and Jeremy three months before their June wedding. Sarah had realised that she couldn't manage to pull it all together herself as she had exams to study for, she didn't live with Jeremy at the time and was also working full time. Now three months isn't long to plan a marquee wedding but its is doable and of course we managed it.
Sarah has been married before so they completed the legal part of their marriage at Bouremouth registery office with Sarah's family attending and decided that they would have a blessing in Jeremy's local church, St Mary's in Stebbing. The reception was held nearby at Andrewsfield, an local airfield where Jeremy part owned a plane. Its soon became aparent that flying was going to feature big on the day and why wouldn't it when the groom was a professional commercial airline pilot.
With quite tight budget to work to and a lot of guests, we set about sourcing suppliers for the day. Thank you to all of them who helped make the day possible and especially for Tracy Williams photography for allowing me to use her images.
