We're Now a Featured Supplier on Love My Dress
I’m so pleased to share a little piece of news. Lauren Batten Events is now a featured supplier on Love My Dress, one of the UK’s best-known and best-loved wedding blogs.
If you’ve spent any time planning a wedding, there’s a good chance you’ve already fond yourself reading Love My Dress. For well over a decade it has been one of the most trusted names in the British wedding world, known for beautiful real weddings, honest advice, and a carefully curated directory of suppliers couples can genuinely rely on. To be invited into that directory, as a Berkshire wedding planner who cares deeply about every couple I work with, means a great deal to me. In this post I want to share what the feature means, and how I can help you plan a calm, beautifully run wedding day.
What it means to be featured on Love My Dress
Love My Dress isn’t a pay-to-list directory where anyone can buy their way in. Suppliers are featured because they meet a standard, which is exactly why couples trust it so much. For me, being there has never been about appearing everywhere. It’s about being in the places that share my values: quality, care, and putting the couple first. A feature like this is a lovely vote of confidence in the way I work, and I hope it gives couples one more reason to feel reassured when they find me.
Why it matters where you find your wedding suppliers
When you’re planning a wedding, the hardest part is often simply knowing who to trust. There are thousands of suppliers out there, and very little way of telling, from the outside, who will truly look after you and who won’t. A beautiful website doesn’t always mean a calm, organised professional sitting behind it.
That’s why curated directories matter so much. When a respected name like Love My Dress features a supplier, a lot of the guesswork is taken away for you. You can begin the conversation already feeling reassured, which is a wonderful place to start. For couples searching for a wedding planner or coordinator they can rely on, I hope my listing offers exactly that kind of head start.
What my Love My Dress listing says
My listing sits under Love My Dress’s Planning & Design category, and it opens with the line that sums up everything I do:
“Your Day, Perfectly Held. From the first supplier call to the last dance, every detail handled with precision so you’re fully present for every moment.”
That really is the heart of it. My job is to carry the logistics, the timings, and the hundred small decisions, so that you don’t have to. I want you to remember your wedding as a guest at your own celebration, rather than as the person fielding questions and watching the clock.
How to choose a wedding planner you can trust
Whether you find me through Love My Dress or somewhere else entirely, choosing the right planner or coordinator is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Here are a few things I’d gently encourage every couple to look for:
A clear explanation of what’s included: you should never be unsure what you’re paying for. Ask exactly what each package covers, and where the support starts and ends.
Someone who listens more than they talk: your wedding should feel like you, not like a template. A good planner draws out what you actually want.
Real experience on the day: planning and coordinating are different skills. Ask how many weddings someone has run on the day itself, and how they handle things when they go wrong.
A calm, reassuring manner: you’ll be working closely together, often in the busiest moments. You want someone whose presence settles you.
Honest recommendations: features in trusted places, and kind words from past couples, tell you a great deal about how someone works.
If a planner ticks those boxes, you’re in good hands.
My wedding planning packages
However much support you’re looking for, there’s an option to suit. I keep my services to three clear tiers, so you always know exactly where you stand:
Day of Coordination: for couples who have planned their own wedding and simply want a professional to run the day. I take everything you’ve organised, build it into a detailed timeline, and manage the day from start to finish so you can be fully present.
Partial Wedding Planning: my most popular package. This adds venue meetings and planning calls in the months before, so you have my guidance and reassurance throughout, not only on the day itself.
Full wedding planning: From sourcing suppliers and designing your look to building your mood board and managing your budget, I’m with you from engagement all the way to the aisle.
Not sure which is right for you? That’s completely normal, and a quick conversation usually makes it clear.
Where I work
I’m based in Wokingham, in the heart of Berkshire, and I work throughout the county and the surrounding areas. That includes Reading, Newbury and the wider Berkshire countryside, as well as Oxfordshire and London. I also travel further afield for UK-wide weddings, and I love a destination wedding too. Whether you’re marrying at one of Berkshire’s beautiful country house venues or in a marquee in your family’s garden, I’d be delighted to help.
An exclusive offer for Love My Dress couples
As part of my listing, I’m offering £100 off your package price when you mention Love My Dress in your enquiry. If you found me there, do say so when you get in touch and I’ll happily apply it for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What areas does Lauren Batten Events cover?
I’m based in Wokingham, Berkshire, and work throughout Berkshire, Oxfordshire and London, as well as UK-wide and on destination weddings. If you’re unsure whether your location is covered, just ask.
What’s the difference between full planning and day-of coordination?
Full planning, my Bridal Blueprint package, supports you from the very beginning, including sourcing suppliers, design and budgeting. Day-of coordination, my Boss Bride package, is for couples who have planned the wedding themselves and want a professional to run the day itself so they can relax and enjoy it.
When should I book a wedding planner or coordinator?
For full planning, the earlier the better, as soon as you have a date and venue. For day-of coordination, most couples book a few months ahead, though popular dates go early, so it’s worth enquiring as soon as you know you’d like support.
Will you work with the suppliers and venue I’ve already booked?
Absolutely. Many of my couples have already chosen their suppliers and venue. My role is to bring everyone together into one seamless plan and run the day so it all flows.
Do you plan destination weddings?
Yes. Alongside weddings across Berkshire and the UK, I’m very happy to support couples marrying abroad. Do get in touch with your plans and I’ll talk you through how it works.
How do I claim the Love My Dress offer?
Simply mention Love My Dress when you enquire and I’ll apply £100 off your package price.
Can I plan my wedding myself with your help?
Absolutely. Alongside my planning services, I built Wedmin, a free wedding planning platform that gives you the structure and supplier connections of a professional planner. You can join free at app.laurenbattenevents.com/join.
