Planning your whole wedding is more than just checking jobs off a list. It means you can enjoy your engagement instead of feeling stressed. You can relax, knowing someone with years of experience is taking care of all the details.
Before anything is booked, we get crystal clear on how you want your day to look and feel. You come away with a clear direction and the reassurance that every decision from here is built around you, not a template.
You always know exactly where your money is going, and where it's best spent. I track every cost and flag anything before it becomes a problem, so you stay in control and never face a surprise bill the week of your wedding.
You get a hand-picked team of suppliers right for your style and budget, without spending your evenings comparing quotes or chasing replies. The briefing, negotiating and back and forth is all mine, so your inbox stays calm.
You see venues that genuinely fit your vision and budget, not a list of fifty to wade through. I ask the questions most couples don't think to ask, so there are no nasty surprises once you've signed.
Everyone from your photographer to your caterer knows exactly where to be and when, so the day flows without you having to think about it. You get to be fully present, not the one watching the clock.
You're protected from the small print. I check every contract, flag anything that doesn't look right, and keep track of every deposit and confirmation, so nothing slips and you can relax knowing it's all in hand.
On the day itself, everything is mine to run. I'm on site hours before your ceremony managing suppliers and quietly solving anything that crops up, so the only thing you have to do is enjoy getting married.
Frequently Asked Questions
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. Read: wedding planner vs coordinator — what's the difference? →
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. Bridebook puts the average UK spend on a wedding planner at around £1,543, while Hitched and Guides for Brides both cite a broad range from £500 to over £4,000 for full planning. 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. Travel within 30 miles of Berkshire is free; beyond that, a simple mileage rate applies. Read: why local knowledge matters for your wedding →
