On the day coordinator in Essex
Thought about hiring an Essex based on the day coordinator for your wedding?
Planning a wedding is an exhilarating journey filled with aspirations and endless to-do lists (oh those lists are never ending!) From selecting the perfect venue to coordinating with suppliers and finalising guest lists (and juggling the ones who haven’t replied!), every detail plays a crucial role in creating your dream day. Amidst the whirlwind of wedding preparations, my role of an on-the-day coordinator often gets overlooked. However, for engaged couples in the UK, especially those hosting their celebrations in diverse venues like stately homes or intimate marquee setups in Essex, having a dedicated on-the-day coordinator can be the key to a stress-free and unforgettable wedding experience (check out my testimonials if you don’t believe me).
I love Essex, with its picturesque landscapes, historic estates, and charming countryside, it serves as a captivating backdrop for weddings of all styles and sizes. Whether you're envisioning a grand affair in a regal stately home or an intimate gathering under the stars in a quaint garden marquee, my on-the-day coordinator service is the one for you as I can turn your vision into a seamless reality.
H&N contacted me after they realised the intricacies of managing a wedding in their parents/in-laws garden. They wanted to embrace the day and not get burdened with juggling suppliers, questions and any issues that may arise. Their main concern was being fully present with their guests and making sure all of their efforts paid off on the day, that’s where I stepped in to ensure everything went to plan.

An elegant English barn wedding with a touch of Greek sophistication
As an Essex based Wedding Planner, I was recommended to Georgia & Alex in the build up to their wedding day by exceptional hair artist, Carly Williams. I instantly knew that if Carly was involved, this was a wedding I definitely wanted to be a part of and I wasn’t wrong!
When I met with Georgia & Alex, we clicked instantly and I knew the visions they had for their day would be met based on the fantastic suppliers on board. They had chosen beautiful 17th Century barn, Blake Hall for their big day and popular venue stylists JF Styling and The Blossom Company were on hand to transform the already beautiful barn.
On the morning of the wedding day, Georgia and her Bridesmaids were busy sipping Champagne whilst high profile makeup artist Kate Glanfield looked after Georgia, then Amy May and Rebecca Claire worked with the Bridesmaids before Georgia slipped into her stunning Ersa Atelier dress from Morgan Davies Boutique in London topped with a pearl headdress from Botias Accessories and the look was completed with iconic Dior shoes.
The ceremony took place at Blake Hall and the couples request for draping wisteria on the beams and elegant flower displays to line the aisle was created beautifully. Georgia walked down the aisle to her excited Fiancé whilst music played on the mezzanine by string quartet OM Strings and sung by her equally beautiful Chief Bridesmaid. Soon after they slipped through an archway of aromatic confetti from Shropshire Petals.
Wedding guests were then treated to Processo, Beer, Orange Juice and Cloudy Lemonade with a delectable selection of Canapes provided by Caterers Waters Edge.
To entertain the guests further, the couple had arranged for the fluffiest alpacas from Hilly Ridge to wander around which made for the cutest photo opportunities.
Meanwhile, JF Styling and The Blossom Tree company were busy transforming the main barn in preparation for the wedding breakfast. Tables were laid with gold detail crockery & cutlery with bespoke grey table linen. Stationary was lovingly crafted by Georgia’s friend at Mag & Marge whilst tasty biscuits laid on each place setting providing favours to each guest. A gorgeous unique 5 tier black cake made by multi award winning cake designer Amelies Kitchen stood in the corner of the room.
Making sure the couple made the most of Alex’s heritage, Greek music was played towards the end of the meal which was a great addition and really got everyone in the mood for an amazing night of music arranged by Creation Events.
Georgia quickly transformed into her Greek themed evening outfit from Erin Kelly Bridal with a stunning number from designer Catherine Deane and matching headpiece from Victoria Percival she looked simply breathtaking.
The whole day was captured by one of the most talented photographers I know, Alicia, owner of Aurora Grey photography whose Dad is also Greek so the couple had a great connection with her. She was accompanied by contemporary videographer Robbie from RJ Wedding Films who shot the day and all the magical moments that came along.
Thank you to Georgia and Alex for letting me be a part of your day and to the most amazing team who put this vision together. Georgia & Alex, I wish you endless years of happiness and love together.
