Joyful celebrations delivered beyond expectation
Welcome!
I’m Val Mattinson, Director and Head Planner 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 incredible 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 a highly 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.
