Wedding/event planner/manager help!

Hey Erin, don't fret you've come to the right place! I'm a bit biased on the wedding planning front ? but I can definitely recommend that having someone on the day that is totally devoted to you and your husband's needs would take a considerable amount of stress and pressure off your back in the weeks/months leading up to the day and on the actual day itself. Many planning companies can tailor build an on-the-day coordination package giving you exactly the amount of service you may require. In addition they can be on hand to help suggest useful suppliers and resources that can save you money in the process. Most of all, you should not be dealing with the behind the scenes running of your wedding day - the day is meant to be loved and enjoyed not managed. What area will you be getting married in? I might be able to recommend some people worth looking into. If you are in the London, Berkshire or Buckhinghamshire areas - drop us a line, we are here to help. =)

Good luck!

Ah thanks Kathrine, I'm based in Hampshire actually :-) do you know anyone? I've found Isabella weddings, RSVP weddings and some others online so far and most charge £500 for on the day coordination but although that seems pricey for one day i have a £360 hall rather than a £5000 hoptel where a coordinator would be included so i think ill treat myself to a coordinator! I've planned and managed lots of weddings for previous jobs but like u said i cant manage behind the scenes on my own w day

thanks again

Hi Erin,

Let me put out a few feelers to my supplier friends and see what they suggest. I'll come back to you shortly. =)

Have a nice evening.

Actually Erin, where will the wedding be held in Hampshire and what is the date if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Katherine,

Wedding is Friday 2nd August and ceremony is at Petersfield registry offcie (guess that bit is pretty self managable) and the reception is at Lower Upham Village Hall (which is in Upham on the outskirts of Winchester)

thanks

Hi again Erin, I've just sent a couple of messages out to a few colleagues to see if someone can help you out. Sadly we are committed on August 2nd otherwise we would love to meet with you and see what we ourselves could do to help you out as Hampshire is easy enough for us to reach. I shall see what comes through and get back in touch. If you could email me your contact information I can then forward it on to other planners, alternatively I can email you more information. Our email is **@*****************.***

Looking forward to hearing from you. =)

Hi Erin

I did a quick look and found http://www.absoluteperfection.co.uk/wedding-planner-services.html

You can hire one of their students for £150 which I think is a good deal.

Worth having a look, me thinks? ?

Good luck!

Ah wow thanks lil_surrey! That's brill! Ill take a look, most charge £500 for the day, don't help the budget part of the wedding! Lol

www.magpiecrockery.co.uk are totally awesome and will dress the venue too. Loved all their vintage stuff at a wedding last year.

Here's the blog post I did on them:

I was wondering the exact same thing! We have a 'shell' venue so have had to hire everything in, and it just dawned on me that I won't want to spend the day checking on timings etc, and I don't think my family want to spend the day doing it either. It sounds like it could be worth the money to me.

Yeah defo Jessie_bride, if your venue like ours is a bargain then spending a few hundred on someone managing the day is no different to having an expensive hotel (who would have a coordinator included in price). Defo got to be worth it i say, no stress for us on the day then :-)

Indeed!

Let me know if you use them, you could be our guinea pig! ?
