Aaron & Georgina, Lorton - December 2013
For this lovely London based couple, the idea was to have a spectacular New Years Eve wedding party. There were 150 guests and only one was from this County! The rest came from all over the world so logistics were complicated and needed to be managed and communicated carefully. For on the day, there were an array of great finishing touches to be put in place as well as a mixture of local and national suppliers to coordinate including two live bands, two DJ's, catering, bar and decorators. The day went wonderfully, any glitches managed through and everyone commented on what a great, memorable time they had. There were a fab couple to work with and I was so pleased they had a fantastic Lake District Wedding! Georgina shared some thoughts...
Did you know much about Wedding Planners before working with Annabel?
No very little.
No very little.

What were your main reason for enquiring?
It wasn't something we thought we would have but organising a wedding so far away and working full time made it a necessity.

How did having Annabel around help you through planning?
Good to have a sounding board when making decisions and to get everything down on paper and on the all important spreadsheet!

On the day, did having a Planner there improve your special day? If so, how?
As bride and groom there's so much to do and so many people to speak to. Having Annabel running around on the day was a god send! So good to be able to lean on her to take care of the logistics and organising the suppliers. We simply wouldn't have been able to do it without her.

Do you have one memorable moment where Annabel made a difference?
Just before I walked down the aisle I froze, I was so overwhelmed by the emotions of it all - especially thinking of my Dad (who is no longer with us). Annabel calmed me down, got me breathing again and made me laugh! That meant a lot.

Would you recommend Weddings by Annabel?
Yes
