Our Heros!

Did you know we say thank you to our active serving military and fire personnel and NHS workers for the fantastic job they do, with our discounted wedding and event services?

Our History

Amanda-Louise formed this business with vision and enterprise in the county she has come to love and call her home on Exmoor in Somerset, leaving London and Sussex behind. We've grown from a passion about moments in life that deserve quality celebrations, and its seen in the work we do. We are definitely merrymakers, working in this industry has its challenges, its certainly not for the faint hearted, and thankfully we have over 30 years event, hospitality and logistical planning experience giving us a reputation for getting things right when it matters the most.

Our journey began with Amanda-Louise as event planner, celebrant, public speaker and trainer organically grew and expanded with wedding and marriage proposal planning, on the day wedding coordination, private and corporate compere, wedding dog team, and staff hire. Then with all our experience, we branched out to support other businesses grow supporting land owners who want to set up as a venue or coaching other celebrants.

Very soon the business demand spread across the UK.

That was then, and we still love it as much today of all the excitement, responsibility and honour planning weddings and romantic occasions for our awesome clients, and each one is very important to us.

And we are super excited to share that at the end of 2023 our in-house catalogue of furniture and decor products are available to hire from us (south west only) providing that one stop shop for all your wedding day needs!

Why We Love What We Do

We have developed into a unique business privileged working with our awesome clients, and getting to know them very well. They are the first to tell us how uplifting we are, with our positive can-do attitudes, how we like to make things fun relying on us as professionals when it matters the most. We are definitely client centric - we love people and getting to know their stories.

We're lucky to work in some amazing venues; from home estate weddings, rustic countryside barns, cliff top location with the coast as backdrop to exquisite hotels, opulent manor houses and even on board The Royal Yacht Britannia with private use.

And we have individual backgrounds, tastes and styles and believe that occasions should not fit into neat moulds or stereotypes.

As we said, we are definitely people persons! Regardless of the buildings or the environments of those wonderful weddings and events, our values and beliefs are its the people within them that create the warmth and those happy ever memories.

When We Recommend We Do Not Take Commission

Rest assured when we recommend a supplier, its for the right reasons and not because we receive payment from them!

We've met some top suppliers; many we consider as our friends having like-minded visions for our clients. We're thrilled of the awards we have been nominated for and won over the years, and our testimonials make us burst with pride! Time has allowed us to network in the industry, our passion and motivation to secure only the best for our clients. You are certainly in a safe pair of capable hands with us when knowledge, calmness, discretion and warm personalitiies is what you desire!

Our Gift To You Of Time

Our hard work has allowed a team to grow in our business, providing opportunities for like-minded individuals whom Amanda-Louise has high regard for. There is never a short supply of sleeves being rolled up as we all pull together our specialisms to ensure the magic happens. Our collective expertise brings incredible events that shines you, so it'll be totally distinctive and authentic!

And this means we save you time, stress and the hard work navigating around planning, and on the day itself.

So that's a snippet of why us when deciding whom you want to work alongside you in one of your most important days of your lives, as you'd prefer not to leave things to chance wanting the best service you deserve, and its our honour to be part of that, taking the stress away from you, getting involved and overseeing every element, or just one aspect, giving you reassurance that we have listened to you carefully to what you need.

Our Commitment To Us

As a business, we dont need to be sitting in the same office as a team. But that doesnt mean we are not "together" we prefer to work more flexible having virtual meetings, or even in a coffee shop, the beach or wherever it works for everyone.

We know having a good work life balance, makes good business sense. We have first hand experience of juggling busy diaries with children or stepping away to spend quality time with our other halves. So we all work different hours.

We are not into wearing uniforms, preferring to be smart casual and that we are comfortable.

And within our business our work ethos is a "no drama", love each other's authenticity and diversity, we're open to each other's ideas and will challenge if something isnt right.

"The only source of knowledge is experience" (Albert Einstein) - we always sit down after an event to evaluate looking at what went well, or look at ways of working better. Although many of us are seasoned in the wedding and events industry, each wedding is different and a learning experience. We always view feedback as a golden nugget to continuously improve what we do.
