WEDDING PLANNER SERVICES

What can a wedding planner do for you and what does it cost?

Te first myth that we have to do away with is that wedding planners are totally different to venue decorators and offer totally different services.  Florists and chair cover companies will very often market themselves as wedding planners.  Please do not be sucked in by this – they theme your venue and your event.  Would you ask a butcher to be the chef at your wedding and cook your wedding breakfast for 100 guests just because he has a connection with food?  

Its very simple really, a wedding planner will look after every little detail for you leading up to the big day and become the only point of contact that you need to have.

We will get you the best deals on all your venue charges such as the hire fee of the venue, catering, decorating, entertainment – everything.  Why?  Because they all want to work with us and have the notoriety of having dealt with a large wedding planning business,  they will drop their rates and their supplemental charges (the “ker ching” factor a lot of businesses tend to have when they hear the word wedding!).

In essence a wedding planner WILL ultimately save you money.  Even venues will lower their charges to have a wedding planner in control of the day because it saves them money and time having to deal with all the aspects of your day themselves.

Also, wedding planners hold completely different insurance to venue decorators which means if a florist suddenly organises your day and decides to make a change at the last minute to suit what they would like instead of what you agreed or what you would like you are NOT insured or have any form of recompense with your wedding insurance.

Wedding planners will work tirelessly for you, concentrate on you and your special day and get to know your personally so that the personal touch is shown all the way throughout your wedding – the key for us as planners is to go totally unnoticed – your guests would never know we are there on the day yet your day will run so smoothly in the background.  

We work 24 hours a day almost and we are always able to offer you first hand knowledge and experience and answer queries instantly rather than having to ask around before they come up with a suitable answer for you.

How much does all this cost?  Well a lot of the larger wedding planners will charge a percentage of your overall spend however we at Scarlet Feather Events look at every event uniquely and we decide how much to charge based on your spend and your financial position in order that the services of a wedding planner are open to everyone and no-one feels that they have to be excluded because it is a luxury service open only to the wealthy – we are here to ensure that this is a service EVERYONE has access to.

ETIQUETTE AT A WEDDING

Gone are the days  -  thank heavens – when you have to worry about etiquette at a wedding so much.

The general understanding is that it is YOUR day and you need to do things YOUR way. 

Families are no longer so traditional so its not always a father giving away the bride and can quite often be the mum or another family member.  

Pets are also now occasionally an integral part of the ceremony for some couples also (although always check with the venue as to whether they will allow this PRIOR to booking).   We did a ceremony recently with donkeys involved in the ring exchange (yes it does happen!).

Table planning is probably where the biggest headache can take place – Aunty Sylvia hasn’t spoken to Aunty Margaret for 10 years so where do we sit them?   Simple, you sit them where best suits you – it is not their wedding it is yours and if family or friends are coming to continue a feud then simply do not invite them and explain why.

You no longer need to ask for presents, a nice card in with the invitation stating that YOUR PRESENCE IS THE ONLY PRESENT WE REQUIRE ON THE DAY  is often a lovely way of letting people know your thought process and that they don’t need to look for expensive presents.

Same with seating at the actual ceremony.  We have used signs a lot this year stating PLEASE PICK A SEAT AND NOT A SIDE which gives the guest a smile when they arrive and also lets them know that this is a day when two families are joining together so its not blues to the left and reds to the right anymore.  The brides family will always sit to the LEFT at the front for a ceremony because whoever gives the bride away will be on the brides left hand side walking down the aisle so this makes seating them much easier – a little reserved sign on the front left hand chair on the aisle is all that is needed for here and on the right hand side the aisle seat on the front row is always reserved for the best man/woman as they will be up and down during the ceremony to present the rings.

Alot of couples now like a more informal top table which can be round so they are not so on show during the day which is especially good for nervous couples or guys and means that you are actually able to speak to and see all the guests on your top table – we often recommend this as a more intimate way to seat the top table guests.

WEDDING PLANNER – WHAT IS ONE?



At Scarlet Feather Events we like to think that we set ourselves apart from the normal “wedding planner”.   We look after our clients from start to finish and sometimes that means answering telephone calls and emails long into the night.


We work with our clients to look after their every need and ensure that planning their day becomes a real labour of love and not a chore or just money orientated.  It’s about getting a feel for the couple, what they like, what their personalities are, how we can inject that into their day via the theme, the venue, the food, the music and the entertainment.   We love a challenge!


We offer an initial one hour meeting so that we can get to know a bit about you and, more importantly, that you can get to know us and what we are about.   We then look at sourcing your venue with you, your suppliers and ultimately pulling together the most spectacular day of your lives – one that your guests will talk about for many years to come as being THE event of the year.


Our clients are also not just based in London.  We work with couples in the North West and the North East as well as down in Sandbanks and as far north as Scotland or abroad.   Your day is as important to us as it is to you and we will ensure that we work hard on your behalf to bring your dreams to reality.



As a planner that is not our only role, we like to become your confident and a family friend.  We are there to ease any worries you might have and trouble shoot for you also.  An open ear is always on hand at Scarlet Feather Events and we can always find time for a coffee and a chat with our couples.



Wedding planners should become your friend and we have been invited to many parties with our clients for years after, the most special ones being christenings.
