A Wedding Planner For
The Intimate, The Extraordinary - Your Love Story

Wedding Planner, Coordinator & Curator

DERBYSHIRE, OPERATING ACROSS THE UK

I plan weddings with the couple at the heart of every element - I create a day that feels like coming home. I believe that weddings are more than timelines, logistics and colour palettes- they’re the beginning of your next extraordinary chapter together. You deserve a day rich with meaning and layered with the intimate details of your relationship. This is how I bring your love story to life, this is how we plan your wedding day.

Let me take the reins and alleviate the stress of balancing your full-time job with wedding planning.

Let me accompany you through logistics, supplier, and styling conversations, making the process less overwhelming.

Allow me to step in and manage the logistics, timelines, and coordination of your special day.

Our journey together

When you choose to work with me, you’re also choosing to place me in the heart of one of the most joyous days of your life–I’m always conscious of what a privilege that is and it’s something I never take for granted. My approach, therefore, goes beyond coordinating logistics or fulfilling a checklist; it's about breathing life into a vision that's uniquely, unmistakably you.

THE BEGINNING

We'll begin with a call which will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other and you as a couple. I want to understand your likes, dislikes and what is really important to you about your day. From this I'll work on a personalised proposal to share with you.

YOU’RE A DESI COUPLE!

Your wedding is the next chapter in your lives together, and the day should reflect just this. Whether you’ve gone for Full-planning, Coordination or Curation with me, your wedding day is the culmination of the intimate weavings of your story thus far – a day that feels extraordinary and 'you'.

THE NEXT CHAPTER

I believe in the understated elegance of love, where every detail serves to enhance the couple's love, making their story the focal point.

For me, weddings are about creating memories that are both intimate and extraordinary. Trust is my cornerstone, where I am the reliable and organised foundation upon which the dreams of your wedding day are built.

I'm here to listen and interpret the intimate weavings of your story thus far, to create something that feels extraordinary and 'you'.

★★★★★

Freya is an absolutely fantastic all round wedding planner, coordinator and curator.

We worked with Freya recently and the way she put together the day was remarkable. Freya designed such a beautiful day - with every detail planned and executed to perfection. From the incredible tablescapes she created through to the drinks reception. Each detail was perfect and looked spectacular.

Freya brought a calm and joyful energy to the day-if you’re looking for a wedding planner we can’t recommend Freya enough 🤍

How To Set a Wedding Budget That Works for You

“How much should we be spending on our wedding?”

It’s a completely valid question, and one that deserves an honest, calming answer. Because wedding budgets can quickly feel like a tangle of expectations, unknowns, and numbers pulled from the internet with no real context.

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all number. But there is a way to approach your wedding budget that feels clear, personal, and aligned with what you actually care about.

As with anything, this is entirely down the individual, your budget and your vibe-I know brides who stayed in their dress the whole day because they loved it that much and they baulked at the idea of spending £££ amount on their ‘outfit’ to not make the most of it. I, however, am a BIG advocate of a change and I reckon that by the end of this you will be too!
