Your Day, Considered.

Across Cumbria and the Lake District, Newcastle and the North East, and Dumfries and Galloway and the rest of South Scotland. If you are just outside, get in touch and we will let you know.

Marquees are our speciality. We are also happy to manage weddings at other venues.

Every wedding is different, so the final price depends on your guest numbers, location, number of suppliers, number of event days and the level of support you need. You can see our starting prices on our Investment page, and we give you a clear quote after your consultation.

We need to understand your wedding, suppliers, timings and logistics before we take responsibility for the day. Booking early lets us spot problems while they are still easy to fix.

It's a shared online space for you and your wedding, one login where we both stay on the same page. You'll be able to see your guest list broken down by group and RSVP status, track your budget against what's actually been spent, follow a timeline built around your wedding date, and build a seating plan together. Guests can RSVP and share dietary requirements digitally, so nothing gets lost in emails or spreadsheets. It's included with both packages, at no extra cost.

We're happy to talk this through openly at your consultation. As a guide, it's often easier to think in terms of budget per guest rather than one fixed total, since every wedding is different. We'd suggest starting from around £750 per guest, with a minimum of 30 guests. A wedding for 100 guests, for example, often sits around £75,000 and upwards, and a smaller wedding of 30 can sometimes work with less overall, although not always per head. Things like a band, wedding car or photographer often cost much the same whatever your guest numbers, so a smaller wedding can sometimes cost more per guest, not less. Our planning fees begin from £1,800.

Yes. We hold both public liability insurance and professional indemnity insurance.

We find suppliers we think are suitable and arrange a quote. Once you're happy, you're sent the invoice and contract to sign directly. We don't pay any suppliers on your behalf, and we don't sign contracts ourselves, the liability stays with you as the client.

No. We don't take commission from any supplier we recommend. We only suggest people we've worked with before and genuinely trust to deliver, and whose style and standards suit yours. It isn't that other suppliers are bad, it's that we hold our recommendations to the standard we'd want for our own wedding.

The one exception is table linen, where we add a 10% handling fee. This covers taking delivery of the linen, checking it over, and posting it back to the supplier. Every wedding's linen needs are different, so it's simpler to add this as its own cost rather than build it into the package price.

Full Wedding Planning means we take on the bulk of the organising, working closely with you throughout to make sure everything reflects what you want. We'll still check in, ask questions, and send you plans and ideas to approve along the way. There's also work that only you can really do: managing your own guest list, planning the ceremony itself, choosing your wedding attire, and knowing your own guests and family in a way we never will. Small personal touches, like confetti or flip-flops for the dance floor, are also things we'd ask you to arrange.

A couple of things we keep clear of, by design. We keep the ceremony itself fairly private to you as a couple, so we don't take on direct contact with your vicar, registrar or celebrant, though we're always happy to offer guidance. We also don't get involved with getting ready, such as helping the bride into her dress, our focus stays on making sure the rest of the day is running to plan.

Honest, above all. Kate takes your ideas and vision seriously, and builds around them, but if something doesn't sit right, she'll say so, usually because she's seen it play out before, either brilliantly or not quite as planned.

She trusts her gut, and it's usually right. When she hasn't listened to it in the past, it's a decision that's come back to bite her, so she's learned to speak up. She can seem relaxed, and it may look like little is happening, but there's a great deal of thinking and emailing going on behind the scenes. That groundwork, the nitty-gritty most couples never need to see, is exactly what you're paying for: it saves you time, and it's where her experience really shows.

She also follows your lead. Some couples want to hand everything over, others enjoy the process and like to get stuck into a bit of the admin themselves, and she's happy to work either way.

We talk through your date, guest numbers and ideas, and you can ask us anything. There is no obligation to book.
