Firstly, congratulations to the happy couple on your engagement! Now, do not let the daunting task of planning a wedding prevent you enjoying this time, that’s what we’re here for. We design magical, bespoke weddings for couples in Surrey and beyond, with a difference. With years of experience planning these special days for oodles of now husbands and wives, we have all the experience and contacts to create your dream wedding, leaving the couple to enjoy their day.
From intimate weddings for a handful of friends and family, to large-scale weddings for 300-guests, no wedding is too big or small for us. We specialise in marquee weddings, with a range of different marquee types for hire to suit all tastes, budgets, and time of year, including traditional marquees, Chinese hat marquees, stretch tents, yurts and tipis. We can arrange these to be placed in gardens, private rentals or on the grounds of properties – and can help select a location for you with our free venue finding service. For an alternative to the marquee wedding, we also have a partnership with Blank Canvas, experts in unique spaces around the UK and Europe.
Every couple is unique, so we believe every wedding should be too. Personalised to the happy couple, we will arrange everything, from the marquee, catering and lighting to the decoration, music, schedule for the day, and everything in between!
