A personal quote from me, with travel included.
Your online wedding planner
Once you’ve booked, you get your own wedding planner, ready on your phone whenever you are. It’s a relaxed way to tell me everything I need for your night, a bit at a time, so nothing gets missed.
- Your day, your way. Tell me about your introduction, your first dance, your last dance and how you’d like the evening to flow.
- Your music. Find the exact songs you love, the ones to get everyone up, and any you’d rather I didn’t play.
- Your running order. Shape how the night will go, then we agree it together at our pre-wedding meeting.
- Plan it together. Share it with your partner so you can both add to it.
- Your guests can join in. If you like, send them a link to suggest songs before the day.
- Everything in one place. Your countdown, your contract, your meeting and everything around your booking, easy to find.
Fill it in as you go and change your mind as often as you like. By the big day, I’ll have everything I need.
A coffee and a chat before the big day
About six weeks before your wedding, I’ll invite you to pick two or three times that suit you, evenings or weekends, and I’ll confirm one. We meet a week or two before the day, at Costa in the Peel Centre or at Cuckoo Bridge, or somewhere handier for you.
We go through your day from start to finish, then the evening in detail: your introduction, the cake, your first dance and anything else you’ve planned. Afterwards I mark your running order as agreed, so we’re working from the same plan. Give me your wedding coordinator’s email and I’ll send them the timings the week before too.
On the night, I look after it all
From your introduction to your last dance, I MC the evening, so you never have to wonder what’s next. I introduce you into the room, look after the cake cutting and your first dance, and keep things running to the plan we agreed.
Then it’s all about the dancefloor. I play your must-plays, read the room and play for the mix of ages you’ve got, so everyone has something to get up for. Your guests can send me requests from their phones too.
“Dance floor was never empty. Read the room perfectly playing all genre’s of music.”
