When should we book you?
As soon as possible! Simply, the sooner I come on board, the quicker I’m able to ensure your wedding planning journey is smooth and stress-free. The majority of my clients hire me at an early stage of their planning so that I can offer a comprehensive, end to end service. I do also work with clients at a later stage as well (take a look at my partial planning service), so the key is to get in touch whenever you feel you might need some professional support.
I’m also extremely privileged that my wedding planning services are in-demand, and key dates throughout the wedding season can book a couple of years in advance. Please do always get in touch to check availability and to find out how I can tailor a service to suit your requirements.
How much do you charge?
Following an initial consultation, I'll be able to provide a tailored proposal based on the complexity, size and duration of your wedding. Planning fees start from just 10% of your overall wedding event budget (specific exclusions apply) with a minimum investment. Additional fees are chargeable for multi-day weddings or where additional site-based coverage is required. I'm very transparent in my fee structure and will ensure there are no hidden surprises, so you’ll always know how much my wedding planning services will cost.
I'm also able to offer a fixed fee for larger wedding budgets, so do let me know if this is something you would like to explore at your wedding consultation.
I offer a fixed fee for both my wedding styling and wedding coordination services.
What type of weddings do you plan?
My job as your dedicated wedding planner is to plan and design a wedding that is authentic, personal and unique. No two One Curious Dream weddings are ever the same, so whether you’re hoping to host a marquee or tipi wedding at home/on private land, get married in a stately home, country house, rustic barn, warehouse, luxe hotel or anywhere in-between, it’s my job to help bring your vision to life.
I’ve planned everything from beautifully whimsical outdoor weddings, intimate micro weddings, flamboyantly fun festival weddings, uber-luxurious hotel weddings, right through to elegant fairytale castle weddings.
I apply my signature laidback luxury style and approach to each wedding I plan and design, creating a wedding celebration that is professionally planned, beautifully designed and expertly delivered. The common thread between the weddings I plan and design is that our couples want to create a sincere occasion in a beautiful setting where the focus is on fun and celebration with their nearest and dearest!
Do you accept commission?
As an Elite member of the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners, I do not accept any form of commission or referral fee for recommending you and your wedding to venues or suppliers. I charge fairly for my wedding planning services, based on my skills, experience and your specific requirements, so I have no need to seek additional profit for the work I have already agreed to undertake for you. This means you can rest safe in the knowledge that my wedding venue and wedding supplier recommendations are always made with your very best interests at heart and that all discounts and savings are passed directly to you.
Where do you plan weddings?
From the One Curious Dream HQ in Norwich, I professionally plan, beautifully design & expertly produce wow-factor weddings right across the UK. Whilst I predominantly take care of weddings in London, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge & Essex, I regularly travel further afield – this wedding season, I’ll be travelling to Northampton, The Cotswolds, Kent and Surrey to help some amazing couples get married in style!
I have an amazing portfolio of venues and incredible supplier contacts right across the country, so wherever you’re hoping to plan a wedding in the UK, I can likely help!
Can you offer an “on the day” only service?
Yes, I offer a wedding coordination service.
What budget do we need to work with you?
Honest answer? How long is a piece of string! I’ve planned small, intimate weddings for less than 20k and large, extravagant weddings with a budget of 6 figures+. I’m open, honest and transparent in the way I work with our wedding planning clients, so I’ll always help you understand what you can realistically achieve with the budget you have.
If I also think your wedding budget will be better spent on your wedding, rather than my fees, I’ll tell you! I want you to have an amazing wedding but I will only work with couples where I can truly add value to your wedding planning experience.
Do you offer wedding styling?
Yes, as an award-winning wedding stylist, I offer a stand-alone wedding styling service.
