About
After 18 years and over 950 weddings I cannot imagine a job I would prefer to be doing! Every wedding and every couple is different. When we meet for the first time it is always a joy to hear my couple's ideas and suggest a few of my own and then to develop something really memorable for them to enjoy and remember for the rest of their lives.
The most common feedback I get from my brides is "Thank you for keeping me calm" which is one of the things I pride myself on.
