You bring the vision. I'll handle everything else — every venue search, every supplier negotiation, every detail managed from the moment you say yes to the moment you say I do.
From your first vision call through to the final wrap-up — every element of your wedding managed, coordinated, and executed with care.
We start with a deep-dive into your wedding vision — your aesthetic, your priorities, your non-negotiables. Everything that follows is built around what matters most to you.
I'll build and manage a detailed budget from day one, tracking every cost, flagging risks early, and making sure you always know exactly where your money is going.
From photographers to florists, caterers to bands — I source, brief, negotiate with, and manage every supplier so you never have to chase a single email.
I'll research venues that match your vision and budget, arrange viewings, ask the right questions, and handle all venue communication from first enquiry to final walk-through.
A precise, minute-by-minute timeline built in collaboration with you — covering every supplier arrival, every transition, and every moment from getting ready to last dance.
I review supplier contracts, flag anything unusual, and keep a meticulous paper trail of every booking, deposit, and confirmation so nothing gets missed.
I'm on site from 4 hours before your ceremony — managing suppliers, running the timeline, handling every decision, and keeping your day running exactly as planned.
Once your wedding is done, I handle the loose ends — chasing outstanding invoices, returning hired items, and making sure everything is fully closed out.
Two levels of planning support — one for couples who want expert guidance at the key stages, one for couples who want everything handled from start to finish.
For couples who've made a start but want a professional to take over the coordination, supplier management, and wedding day execution. You lead the big decisions — I handle everything around them. Includes supplier sourcing, timeline building, contract oversight, and full on-the-day coordination.

View full details →Based in Berkshire, I have deep knowledge of the county's venues, suppliers, and seasonal quirks. When your planner knows the area, every decision is faster, smarter, and better.
Reading offers a surprisingly rich wedding scene — from elegant city venues to beautiful countryside estates just minutes from the centre. I work regularly with suppliers across RG1 to RG30 and know which caterers, photographers, and florists deliver consistently for Reading couples.
Windsor is one of Berkshire's most sought-after wedding destinations. The backdrop is extraordinary, the venues are world-class, and the supplier ecosystem is some of the strongest in the county. I understand the logistics of planning weddings in and around this busy Royal Borough.
Newbury and the North Wessex Downs offer some of the most beautiful rural wedding settings in the South of England — from barn conversions to countryside manors. I have hands-on experience with Newbury's key venues and the trusted local suppliers who know how to deliver at them.
Maidenhead's Thames-side location makes it a stunning setting for weddings, with river venues and elegant country houses that photograph beautifully. It's also brilliantly connected — ideal for couples with guests travelling from London.
Sonning is one of the Thames Valley's most charming villages and home to some truly special wedding venues. The Great House at Sonning is a perennial favourite — intimate, characterful, and with an atmosphere that's hard to replicate. It's the kind of venue that requires a planner who understands its pace and personality.
Henley combines riverside beauty with a thriving events culture — the infrastructure here is exceptional. Venues range from elegant riverside hotels to sprawling country estates, and the local supplier network is deep. If you're planning a Henley wedding, having a planner who knows the area means a smoother, sharper day.
Berkshire is home, but Lauren plans weddings anywhere. Cotswolds, Cornwall, Yorkshire, Scotland, Europe — wherever your wedding takes place, the same level of care and coordination comes with it. Travel within 30 miles is free; beyond that, a simple mileage rate applies. Destination weddings are available on request.
A full wedding planner manages every element of your wedding from engagement to wedding day — venue sourcing, supplier management, budget planning, contract review, timeline building, and full on-the-day coordination. Unlike a venue coordinator (who works for the venue) or an on-the-day coordinator (who steps in at the end), a full planner is your dedicated partner throughout the entire journey.

Full wedding planning in the UK typically costs between £1,500 and £5,000+ depending on the level of involvement and the scale of the wedding.

Lauren's full planning packages start from £997 — strong value for end-to-end, personalised support. View all packages →
Yes — and often significantly. A local wedding planner has existing relationships with suppliers, knows which venues offer genuine value, and can negotiate on your behalf in ways you simply can't as a one-time buyer. They also prevent costly mistakes: wrong supplier bookings, contract oversights, and budget creep that adds up fast. Read: how a local wedding planner can save you money on your Berkshire wedding →
The sooner the better. Ideally you'd book within the first few weeks of getting engaged — before committing to a venue or any key suppliers. That way your planner is involved in every major decision from day one. That said, Lauren works with couples at all stages, including those already mid-planning who need someone to take over and bring order to the process. The earlier you bring a planner in, the more value they can add. Check availability →
Yes — these are very different roles. A venue coordinator works for the venue and is focused on the venue's operations: catering, staffing, and logistics on their side. A wedding planner works exclusively for you — managing your external suppliers, your vision, your budget, and your entire planning journey from start to finish.

No — Lauren plans weddings across the whole of the UK and internationally. While she's based in Berkshire and has particularly deep local knowledge of the county's venues and suppliers, she's worked with couples in the Cotswolds, Cornwall, London, Spain, and beyond.

2026 and 2027 dates are filling fast. Once your date is taken, it's gone — and so is the peace of mind that comes with it.
