Testimonials

  • We weren’t sure if we needed a wedding planner, but had no idea where to start with our wedding plans, so we arranged to meet Helen, and from the moment we met her we knew that she was going to be an important part of our day. She understood from the start exactly what we wanted and she soon came to realise that our biggest problem was making decisions! With incredible patience and a wonderful sense of humour, she guided us through all the wedding plans and helped us with every aspect of the day.

    On the wedding day, everything went exactly as we hoped it would. With Helen unobtrusively in charge, we never had to worry about anything, and were able to enjoy the day with our guests.The wedding was quite magical, with a wonderful relaxed atmosphere, and all our guests commented on what a fantastic day it was. All the little touches that Helen added combined to make it a beautiful occasion, and her help went far beyond what we had expected.

    It is hard to put into words how wonderful Helen was, and what a lovely lady she was to work with, but without her, our wedding day would never have been as perfect as it was.

    Amanda & Richard Bayliss, July 2011

  • The most enormous thank you for everything you’ve done over the last 18 months. You’ve gone miles above and beyond the call of duty, always with a positive attitude, a solution and an amazing eye for detail. You have been the “find” of the whole process and have been a joy to share our special day with.

  • Anyone looking for help during those final stress filled weeks should look no further than Helen Carter Weddings. My husband and I could enjoy the weeks leading up to the big day without any real stress and even the big day itself.

    Helen took care of everything from timings to orchestrating suppliers so we could sit back, relax and enjoy our special day. All of our expectations were exceeded and we would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us. Everyone should have a Helen!

  • Thank you so much for being a wonderful wedding planner, organsing the wedding and making it stress-free for me. It was great to put my trust in you and all your recommendations were spot on. You were always very friendly and approachable and I knew I could discuss anything with you. I couldn’t have asked for a better planner!

  • Once we met Helen we knew that she was the wedding planner for us. Helen is meticulous in her organisation and all of her work is of the highest detail. She has a positive attitude and will reassure you at any step. She really is a star and we would happily recommend her to anyone that needed a wedding planner. We could not have made a better choice.

    Seun & Bita Oyetan, July 2010

  • Thanks again for all of your help with everything. As I mentioned at the wedding we were thrilled with everything you did to help with the wedding planning process as well as managing everything on the actual day. We had a fantastic time and know that it would not have gone so smoothly if it weren’t for you.

    Katherine and Nic Michaelides, May 2010

  • I knew I could count on you come rain (or snow!) or shine, which was extremely reassuring. Your service was very professional, and alleviated a lot of concern in the days leading up to the wedding. I loved what you had done to the marquee. You really ‘got’ what I wanted, so a MASSIVE thank you!

    Emily and Timothy Badham, December 2009

  • We would like to say once again a huge thank you for helping us with our wedding day. Without a doubt I’m sure it wouldn’t have run so smoothly without you. I will be recommending you to all my family and friends who are getting wed.

Why Consider A Wedding Planner?

Your wedding is one of the most important occasions in your life, but knowing where and how to start planning your special day can feel daunting. How do you find the perfect venue? What should you look for in a supplier? Who will ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day?

Planning a wedding takes a huge amount of time and effort. Many couples have such busy lives these days that they simply cannot devote sufficient time to their wedding preparations. Others start their planning full of enthusiasm but become overwhelmed with the level of organisation that is required, whilst for some the arrangements can feel like a logistical nightmare.
