I had clear ideas on the colour scheme and theme I wanted for my wedding and so when I met Hannah for the first time at a wedding fair and started to discuss them with her, she immediately came up with some beautiful design ideas for my stationery. Her enthusiasm and excitement for our special day was really genuine and I knew that she understood exactly what I wanted to do and that she shared my vision.  Sure enough, when the vast choice of stunning, hand crafted stationery designs arrived, I was wowed and knew I had found what I was looking for!

 

From that moment on, Hannah became invaluable to me.  Giving me advice, problem solving and at times just telling me to stop worrying and enjoy it all!

 

Throughout the planning of my wedding, Hannah was always at the end of a phone and although I knew what I wanted, she still came up with ideas and little touches that were so fabulous I had to have them!

 

I didn’t start out wanting or even needing a wedding planner in any shape or form, but Hannah’s work was so unique and perfect that as the plans developed I did not want anyone else to help me. Not only is she professional, efficient and friendly, Hannah is also a perfectionist.  She was a dream come true and I trusted her 100% which meant I could relax and enjoy the build up to the wedding.

 

By the time the wedding day came, the relationship Hannah had built up with me meant that I was very excited to see her that morning and get her reaction to my dress! She had become like a friend who had created this special day with me and I knew implicitly that the organisation of the reception room would be all in hand and would look amazing.  And when suddenly we ran out of time and I was nowhere near ready, Hannah effortlessly took control in her calming and friendly manner, dressing me, arranging my veil, pinning on my Mum’s corsage, doing anything and everything that needed to be done. She made all of us in the house that day feel happy, special and relaxed.

 

Once we were married and arrived at the reception, I finally got to see how Hannah had brought my vision to life. The way she had dressed the room was breath taking (my Mum cried when she saw it!). Her attention to detail was perfect. From the hand made table names and name tags, to the lighting, table plan and all the finishing touches that made our theme complete. Our day was a dream come true all thanks to Hannah and our guests have said it was the best wedding they have ever been to.

 

Whatever your needs, wants, ideas or lack of them, enlisting Hannah’s help is definitely the way to go. No job is too small or big for her and I cannot praise her enough.  My advice to all future brides? You need to have this woman involved in your wedding!
