The Pro Tips
Q What is your top piece of advice for couples planning their wedding?
A It’ll be stressful planning a wedding. The worst thing you can say to your partner is 'I don’t care'. I hear it far too often with my couples, and the reaction almost always creates tension. Most people don’t actually mean they don’t care — they just don’t care about every single detail. If your partner says this, ask them for 3 things they do care about, and let those be the areas they make the main decisions on instead of forcing them to choose a centrepiece they probably wouldn’t notice was there or not. A wedding is supposed to bring you together. Don’t let different interests pull you apart.
Q What is the most 'genius' wedding planning move or cost-saver you’ve seen a couple pull off?
A A brides dress from vinted for £20 that looked £2000! Always worth looking to see if your dream dress is in need of a second life!
Q If a couple has an entertainment budget, where in your opinion is it best spent for maximum impact?
A For me it would be live music. Whether that's a band, singer or a saxophonist, they can really get the party going and who doesn't love live music?!

Traditions
Q One 'Old' tradition you still love.
A Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
Q One 'New' tradition you’re currently obsessed with?
A Having a 'last dance' just the two of you.
The Ceremony
Q Everyone working on the wedding floor loves a Celebrant Led wedding, why do you love them?
A For me, it feels more personal and more about the love between the two. Relaxed, not worrying about saying the wrong thing, but saying how you really feel. Not only that but your guests can drink throughout the ceremony too!
