Bringing 1st class planning, creativity and joy, let me help you create your special day with love and the attention to detail that leaves nothing to chance on your special day.
Family is everything, when I am relaxing, it usually involves early morning summer walks with the dog, the garden and planting home grown seedlings, outdoor BBQs/dining with friends, watching our daughter row from the banks of the Thames, reading the latest Victoria Hislop novel, singing - love to sing, good for the soul, or galloping across the Downs which definitely gets rid of the cobwebs. From a close Scottish military family background and years of working overseas, I love to support your celebration to take place where you want it, somewhere special to you both. Traditional, themed or simply tailored to your hopes & dreams, multicultural, or including your fur babies. It is your day, your way. 🐾❤️
