Feeling overwhelmed? We’ll get your wedding plans back on track.
Planning a wedding should feel exciting, but it’s completely normal to find the early stages overwhelming — or to reach a point mid-planning where you feel stuck, uncertain, or simply in need of expert guidance. That’s exactly why we created our SOS Planning Consultation.
Designed for couples who want clarity, confidence and a clear path forward, this focused session gives you direct access to our expertise — whether you’re newly engaged and unsure where to begin, or further along and facing specific challenges with logistics, budgeting, venue decisions or supplier choices.
With over 15 years’ experience planning beautifully considered weddings across the UK and the Caribbean, we know exactly how to cut through the noise, simplify your next steps and bring a sense of calm back to the process. Our SOS session is your opportunity to pause, reset and get tailored advice that truly supports your vision.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, off-track or just want reassurance you’re heading in the right direction — you’re in the right place. Let’s get you moving again with confidence.
A focused, expert-led session designed to bring clarity, direction and confidence to your wedding planning.
We'll sit down with you for a 2 hour consultation (longer if you need!) to give you an idea of where to begin. We'll make sure you have the information you need to progress your plans without worrying about what you might have forgotten!
Whether you're newly engaged or navigating a specific challenge, we help you move forward with ease. Use the session as a way to kickstart your wedding plans or later on in your planning if you start to feel like you're losing your way or you've hit a roadblock. You can get advice to help you sort out the issues you need help with.
Tailored advice based entirely on your needs — from budgets and timelines to suppliers, logistics and next steps. Here are a few examples of the topics we can cover in a SOS Planning Consultation but this is just for the purposes of illustration. We can focus on whatever you need most:
A clear, actionable plan you can rely on long after our session ends. After the consultation you will receive a personalised follow up note to confirm the advice and any recommendations given. Depending on the topics covered in your session, this may include:
A premium, highly focused service designed to save you time, reduce stress and elevate your planning. Priced from £550, the session is via video call. In person options are also available.
Book your SOS Consultation today and let’s get you back on track.
