In August 2011 I was hired to help with the final stages in the planning of the wedding for Claire & James. They were married at Cressing Temple then had a wonderful Tipi reception at James parents in Great Leigh. What I loved about this wedding is that friends and family all helped make the day incredibly special. I hope to show you some images one day but in the meantime here is a wonderful testimonial from them:
“We really can’t thank you enough for all of your help and support during the run up and of course on the day. You and Lisa exceeded the brief, and out expectatons, and allowed us and our families to relax and enjoy ourselves. The day was perfect (I bet all brides say that - but it really was). We would certainly have missed details in the contracts without you reviewing them with a fine toothed comb and it was that attention to detail, as well as your professionalism , that made everything run so smoothly. Also your flexibility in attending evening meetings was essential.” Claire & James, August 2011
We just wanted to write and say thankyou so much for everything that you did for us. The day was amazing and wonderful and we would not have been able to create it or manage it without you.
Kirsty & Adrian, 2005
This testimonial is from of my lovliest couples and possibly brightest wedding as well. They had their wedding at Blake Hall in Essex in July 2006. You can see their wedding on my main website gallery.
“Bernadette is an absolute star. Her presence at the wedding and her help leading up to it was invaluable and we’ll always think of her when we look back on the wedding. We came to rely on her so much and are having difficulty adjusting to post wedding life without her by our side – I think she should move into life management rather then wedding planning!”
Lindsay & Ben, July 2006
The below testimonial was from a brides parents, the wedding was held at the beautiful Marks Hall estate which is minutes from my home.
“It was a perfect day in every sense and we look back knowing that we would have changed nothing. Thank you for all the behind the scenes work that went unseen. All our guests have commented on the wonderful day – some even describing it a triumph!”
Ken & Sue, June 2006 (brides parents)
Every couple of weeks I will share some of the many testimonials I have received since 2002 , the one below is from Cindy & David who were married in 2005, this wedding was featured on a TV series called ‘The Wedding Planner’. The actual testimonial is 2 x A4 sheets so I’m just sharing a taster of it with you! The wedding was in my village of Coggeshall so was nice to be local for once.
“the entire night people kept coming up to us saying it was the most beautiful wedding/reception they had ever been to. It looked like Disneyland for adults. You worked so hard on that set up getting all the tables just right. The whole thing was exactly what I wanted. It’s exactly why I wanted to have a wedding planner – so that no detail would be forgotten.”
