  Claire was easily the best decision we made when it came to our wedding. She is next-level organised, efficient and proactive beyond belief. Claire quite simply allowed us to enjoy our day in a way we didn't think was possible. I genuinely couldn't have imagined our day [or the lead up] without her. Our suppliers & venue said she was the best planner they've ever worked with, says it all! 10/10 in every single way.

  Claire is such an amazing human being. We are so grateful for all her help and support for our big day. We really could not have done it without her. Having coordination on the day is especially important to ensure smooth running of more things you can even imagine and I would highly recommend to anyone planning a wedding to consider having Claire as part of your journey, ideally throughout the entire process!! She has great contacts and exquisite taste! So kind and supportive too which I feel is priceless, especially when the motions start flowing! We planned a last minute wedding within 6 weeks in winter season due to decline in my fathers health, luckily she was available, FEW!! Thank you so so so much Claire, you are THE BEST!!

  “Claire organised two amazing events for us. One small intimate wedding, and another much larger Sri Lankan ceremony and reception. Her attention to detail was outstanding throughout. All of the suppliers that she recommended for us were both brilliant at what they do, but also great fun to work with. In fact, this sums Claire up too. Absolutely brilliant at her job, and great fun to be around. We are genuinely going to miss our catch-up calls and the whole planning process with Claire. We count ourselves as very luck to have had her with us for not one but two very special days.”

  We feel SO lucky to have found Claire and HIGHLY recommend her wedding planning and styling services. Claire helped us plan, execute and enjoy our beautiful church ceremony and hotel reception in London with around 180 of our closest friends and family. Halfway through our wedding planning process, we were struggling to find vendors and suppliers, especially since we were planning our wedding from abroad. We came across Claire's website on Google, and looking back now, we are so thankful for that lucky google search. Quickly after getting in touch with Claire, we decided to move forward with her services because her presentation paralleled our wedding vision and we felt that she was honest and trustworthy. Claire not only met our expectations, but far surpassed them. Over a six month span planning, Claire was always clear, consistent and highly responsive in our communications. She helped us secure our remaining suppliers and was patient as we were picky when selecting the perfect ones (Claire also helped us secure a venue for a pre-wedding cocktail event on the night before the big day). In addition to helping us find and communicate with our suppliers and venue, Claire assisted with the design and style inspiration and execution, and worked closely with the hotel, florist, and cake designer. Claire understood and executed the style and mood we wanted for the day. Our vision was understated luxury and that is exactly what we achieved. On the day of the wedding, we felt incredibly calm knowing that all the elements of the day were handled by Claire. Since we required transport for our guests from the hotel to the church and back to the hotel, Claire organized the transportation schedule and had her team stationed at each pick-up and drop-off area. The plan was followed-through seamlessly! Claire made sure that the rest of the evening went smoothly and she stayed at the venue until the absolute end of the night. Overall, we sincerely appreciate how Claire was highly professional in all her correspondences, yet made us feel that we can rely on her like she is a close friend. She is genuinely kind, and you can tell that she truly cares about the relationship she builds with her clients. Her attention and care made us feel that we were the only wedding she was working on. Besides helping us find our remaining suppliers and providing on-the-day coordination, these are the qualities we sought in our planner. We are already recommending Claire to all our friends and family, as working with Claire was the best decision we made for our wedding! Thanks a million, Claire!

  Where do I start, firstly if you are considering booking Claire for your wedding JUST DO IT! When I say she is the most talented, attentive, patient, creative, caring wedding planner, I really mean it! Working in the bridal industry made me feel the pressure when it came to planning our day but I immediately felt better when asking Claire for her help. After working together I knew how talented she was but wow I was blown away with just how good she really is at what she does. Claire’s beautifully calming and caring nature helped me every step of the way, her expertise and experience with recommendations and timings of the day were second to none and her natural creative flare, vision and attention to detail is undeniable. I have so many special memories that we shared on the day, to us getting emotion together when she saw me in my dress, to meeting and hugging her lovely team, to seeing her becoming like a long lost friend to our guests (they really love her) and finally to dancing the night away together on the evening. Genuinely our wedding truly would not have been the same without Claire and her lovely team. We will be forever grateful for our friend :).

  Claire is the best. The most organised, the most caring, the most trustworthy - the only person we would have invited to lead and support us on our special day. From the moment we spoke to her we both knew she would be the person to turn our dreams into a reality. With an immaculate eye for style & detail she made the whole process effortless & stress free, allowing us to savour only the good parts of wedding planning. On the day I (the bride) only felt truly calm when Claire had arrived (crack of dawn!) - when she was there I knew everything else would be ok. Claire has the best suppliers at her fingertips - all who say she is the best (if you don’t take our word for it) - who are extremely talented and most importantly a pleasure to have as a part of your day. If you have Claire as a wedding planner, we are jealous. We would love to work with her again - vow renewals, christenings?! Claire, thank you for everything you did for us. Thank you for your kindness, your wicked sense of humour and most importantly your unwavering support. We are so happy to have met & worked with you ❤️

  Claire is an absolute superstar and our wedding simply wouldn’t have happened without her. We had to plan our wedding from abroad during COVID and wasn’t able to actually visit our venue until 3 months before the wedding. Claire went above and beyond to make the wedding planning process was as fun and seamless as possible. Claire had impeccable taste and style, and she always found ways to articulate my vision when I couldn’t. She had the best advice, recommendations, and feedback when it comes to suppliers, vendors, and any wedding details. Claire found ways to make the impossible happened and never said no to any requests (gosh that seating plan!). She was professional, kind, and supportive the whole way (and always prompt in her response for whichever time zone I was in!) - we thank our lucky stars that we had her as our planner. For our actual wedding day - Claire was amazing in organizing the day, thinking of every possible detail, and executing what we’ve dreamed up for years in absolute perfection. Not only did everything went as well as it could, she always took the time to check in on us to make sure we had everything we needed and had time/space to actually enjoy our day. Our wedding day/weekend was beyond magical in every way - all thanks to Claire!

  We initially booked our wedding from Abroad and were researching planners. We set up calls with a few and Claire came across the best in our opinion. We just got the impression she knew what she was doing and was more than up to the task. Claire’s knowledge, enthusiasm and personality shone through and she exceeded our expectations in every single way. Claire was so professional, organised, personable and dependable the whole way through the process. She was all over everything no matter what time zone we were in and it got to the point where we could just trust her to deal with things without even having to worry. Claire would think about every little detail and she was just a real pleasure to work with. The wedding day itself could not have gone smoother and that was all thanks to Claire. If you are thinking about booking Claire, do not hesitate. She is amazing at her job, my wedding would not have happened without her and I have no doubt she will be one of the most sought after planners in the UK in the not too distant future. Thank you Claire.

  We don’t even know where to start with how amazing Claire is. We have nick named her ‘pocket rocket’ as she was all over every single detail for our wedding and made the entire process both fun and seamless. She is an absolute gem of a human and the most lovely person to share the planning and design process with. Right from the beginning, Claire set out potential suppliers for us in an incredibly user friendly format. She organised Skypes with each supplier to ensure they were the right fit for us (and I can confirm they were all incredible). On the day, she had everyone under control and on schedule and coordinated seamlessly with the Ned. He calm and reassuring demeanour meant that we totally relaxed and enjoyed spending time with our guests. Our suppliers raved about how organised she was and how she was one of the best they had ever worked with. Our guests were blown away by the design and how any time you needed something it had been carefully thought of. Our wedding was our dream day - there is nothing more to be said and Claire is the best. We are now trying to find an excuse for her to plan another event for us!

  Simply put, Claire was exceptional. She went above and beyond in every regard for our wedding. We started the process thinking that hiring a wedding planner to assist us was a bit frivolous. How wrong we were. Having Claire on board was essential. Claire is a truly lovely person, and her talents are endless. She is practical, and also incredibly creative. Her level of care, service and expertise far exceeded expectations right from our initial conversation through to the end of our wedding day. Our requirements were not straightforward as we used a space that had never been used as a wedding venue before. Right from the minute we first spoke to Claire about our ambitious plans, we knew we were in safe hands. She understood exactly what we wanted and was instrumental in making our wedding day a truly personal and memorable one. We had a brilliant set of suppliers, however, learned that nothing can match having someone on your team who’s number one priority is to make sure everything pans out just how you‘d imagined it to be. Claire fulfilled this role and then some. Throughout the whole process Claire handled complex (and stress inducing!) logicstical challenges with ease, and always managed to help us find the best outcome to obstacles we faced along the way. I love design and from the outset beautiful styling for our venue was a big priority for me. Claire was an absolute dream to work with on styling elements, and on our wedding day I was overjoyed to see everything looking so stunning, and far exceeding my expectations. Her and her team made sure everything looked perfect. It is no exaggeration to say that hiring Claire was the best money that we spent on our wedding by far. We couldn’t have done it all without her.
