WHERE IT STARTED
THE ORIGIN STORY
From a young age, I’ve always had natural talent for organisation and a love of lists! Even at the tender age of 16, I dipped my toes into the world of organising events at a hotel I worked at in South Wales (where I’m originally from). Unknowingly, this would ignite a flame that would shape my entire career for the next two decades. From there, I went on to work in Oxford in a beautiful hotel, overseeing weddings and events, bringing celebratory days to life.

FAST FORWARD
After a move to Suffolk, I became venue manager and weddings co-ordinator for some exquisite wedding venues in Suffolk and Essex including Easton Grange and Gosfield Hall, playing a pivotal role in bringing the dreams of countless couples to life. I then established Amae Events in 2019, inspired by the Japanese word 'Amae,' which means 'the desire for someone to take care of you.' As a dedicated wedding planner, this concept resonates deeply with me.

I now love running my own wedding planning business having had the the privilege of orchestrating more than 200 weddings, each one a unique story waiting to be told. In 2023, I was honoured to receive the Essex Wedding Planner of the Year award at the Essex Wedding Awards. My mission is simple; to take care of you, to make sure that every moment of your special day is etched in your heart forever.
Hayley is your fairy godmother. her heart goes into your special day.
