Need help with planning your UK wedding from abroad? Here's what Chris and Maebellyne had to say about our Full Planning service for their English destination wedding.

Chris & Maebellyne live in Zurich and booked our Full Planning service for their UK Destination wedding.
"Planning a wedding can be hard enough at times but when you’re doing it from hundreds of miles away I’d imagine it adds a whole other level of stress. Thankfully we have no clue what that other level of stress feels like because we had Val. She kept us on track, offered support when needed and gave us ideas we never would have come up with on our own. The day itself could not have gone any better. Our guests still talk about the wedding and how much fun they had.It was an absolute pleasure working with Val so if you’re thinking about hiring Benessamy...do it!"
You can see more photos from Chris and Maebellyne's beautiful wedding at Norwood Park over in our Gallery and if you would like to discuss your wedding plans, please get in touch.
Happy Planning!
