For discerning couples and hosts who want an extraordinary experience — without the overwhelm.
Planning a wedding or celebration should feel exciting, meaningful and full of anticipation, but for many of the busy, design-conscious clients we work with, it often begins with something else entirely: not enough time, too many decisions, and the pressure to create a celebration that feels effortlessly “you.”
You want a wedding or party that feels refined, heartfelt and beautifully personal — a celebration where every detail flows seamlessly and your guests feel genuinely looked after.
But between demanding careers, full calendars and the endless world of options, you simply don’t have the hours to design, plan and manage it all yourself.
That’s where we come in.
We’re Benessamy — a luxury wedding and party planning team creating joyful, elevated celebrations across the UK, in London, and throughout the Caribbean. Led by Val Mattinson, we bring a calm, reassuring presence and a deeply personal approach, supporting clients who want their event to feel exceptional, meaningful and flawlessly delivered.
Whether you're dreaming of a marquee wedding on a private estate, a sophisticated celebration at a historic manor house, a quintessentially British weekend for international guests, or a relaxed-yet-luxurious destination wedding beneath Caribbean skies — our role is to make the entire experience feel effortless.
With thoughtful design, meticulous coordination, and an unwavering commitment to service, we translate your ideas into a celebration that feels authentic, beautifully crafted and completely stress-free.

" From the first conversation, Val took so much care to get to know us and listen carefully to what was important to us in planning our wedding. She assembled a dream team of suppliers to work with, taking into consideration our style and personalities. She kept in constant communication with us and helped make even the stressful moments really fun. On the day of our wedding? Val ensured a flawless experience for us and our guests. While Val was amazing to work with all along the way, we appreciated most her focus on helping us remember this is a special day for the two of us to represent our love and commitment. A huge thank you to Val and her team for an amazing wedding weekend! "
