Welcome!

I’m Val Mattinson, Founder and CEO at Benessamy, a multi-award-winning wedding and party planning company. Founded in 2011, we create seamless events with an elevated guest experience for clients across the UK and in the Caribbean.

We are honoured to be a trusted UK Wedding Industry Award recipient, continuously commissioned by our clients to plan, design and deliver exquisite celebrations.

We plan events with the highest level of creativity, logistical precision, dedication and care. For us, providing a luxury service means doing what others won’t and ultimately delivering beyond our client’s vision.

Listening is our secret sauce, especially when you’re planning a multi day celebration experience. We’re here every step of the way to support you and provide an intentional and personalised experience.

Whether you dream of exchanging vows in a beautiful historic building or five star venue, beneath the canopy of a luxurious marquee or on the soft, sandy shores of a stunning Caribbean island, we can’t wait to assist and support you every step of the way.

"I so wish I’d known about Benessamy before I got married! Val was the wedding planner for my sister-in-law's amazing wedding this summer. It was a mind blowing brief for 250 people and she handled it all with such finesse, accuracy and calm. The whole day was just incredible, there was nothing left undone, it was perfect and effortless in every way. Even the sudden turn in the weather didn’t throw her, everything was taken care of with a smile and a solution. It was the most amazing day, and it was all down to Val and her team. For anyone considering using Benessamy, don’t even think twice, you’ll never regret it, she throws one hell of a party!" - Lucie Wilson
