"You can’t come all this way and just party for one day!” A statement our founder and weekend wedding planner, Chenai, can often be heard saying in the initial conversations with our international clients. For this reason, our UK destination wedding planning service was designed with both our international clientele and UK clients who want to celebrate outside of London in mind. We understand that you want to host your friends and loved ones travelling from all over the globe for more than one day. Weekend weddings have become something of a speciality for us, where we help you plan wonderful welcome events and fabulous post-wedding day farewells that you and your guests will not forget.
Weekend weddings are a marathon, not a sprint - unless, of course, a high-octane celebration is what you seek. In such cases, every event is equipped with the full array of bells and whistles: from exquisite food and bespoke cocktails to live singers and epic DJs. We like to design each event to complement the main celebration, an approach that especially shines in private estates, castles, and country wedding venues, allowing guests to fully experience the beauty of the location and its surroundings.
Every wedding season, we, as weekend wedding planners, help our clients in hosting weekend-long celebrations in the Cotswolds, Hampshire, Suffolk, Scotland and beyond. We've hired out quaint and quintessential English pubs for welcome parties, hosted epic pool parties on estates for farewells, and arranged activities ranging from clay pigeon shooting to boat parties and beach days. Our expertise ensures that the food and beverage offerings perfectly match the feel of these events, whether it's a casual BBQ or a well-laid rehearsal dinner setup. We ensure that every aspect of your wedding weekend integrates seamlessly into your wedding narrative, reflecting your style and taste
When researching your ideal wedding weekend venue or location, we draw from our curated list of the best exclusive-use venues and private estates in the UK and Europe. We take into consideration the guest experience, arranging transport where necessary and researching the finest hotels and accommodations to ensure the maximum comfort for your guests. With our vast network of the best vendors and experts, we can guarantee that your guests will feel well looked after for the duration of your celebration.
Our initial meeting will always begin with a conversation that is usually less about the wedding itself but more about your lives and what brings you joy – from your favourite restaurants, to your travel hotspots and go-to activities. All these tiny snippets of information make up the tapestry of your relationship and the way it deserves to be celebrated, and we’ll use them to inform how we proceed with the design and planning of your weekend wedding. It really is all in the details!

We will take this information and create a proposal for you, which will be the basis of our quotation, you will receive this within a few days following the call.
