Your wedding day shouldn’t come with a to-do list. Your wedding day shouldn’t come with a to-do list.

I’m there to make sure everything gets done, so you don’t have to.

From keeping the timeline on track to coordinating suppliers and handling the little details behind the scenes, I’ll make sure your day runs smoothly while you stay present for every moment.

Because you should be celebrating, not managing.

I started this business because I love events. I l I started this business because I love events. I love the joy, the buzz, the details, the people, the problem-solving and, most of all, making sure someone else gets to enjoy their day.

And now I’m standing in places like this, building the business I dreamed about.

Pinching myself a little bit.

Here’s to dreaming big, and being brave enough to go for it 🩷
I’d genuinely LOVE to be part of your wedding. N I’d genuinely LOVE to be part of your wedding. 

Not because I need to be involved in every little decision (although I’m very happy to talk weddings all day) but because I know how much goes into getting everything ready and I know how quickly the day itself can become a blur of questions, timings, suppliers and tiny things that need sorting.
My job is to take all of that off your plate.

I’m there behind the scenes making sure the plans you’ve spent months putting together actually happen, suppliers know where they need to be, the timeline keeps moving and any little hiccups are dealt with before you even know about them.

So you can stop checking the time, answering questions and wondering what’s happening next… and just be married. 

If you’re planning your wedding and want someone in your corner on the day, I’d love to be that person.

You don't need a final guest list, but you do need You don't need a final guest list, but you do need a realistic number. 

80 guests and 150 guests can mean a very different wedding. 

Your guest numbers will affect your venue, your budget and even the atmosphere of your day. 

Get your guest list roughly there first. Then find a venue that fits your wedding, not the other way around. 

In addition to planning and on-the-day coordination services, I also offer a number of additional wedding planning services, you can book these services on their own, or in addition to any other service. 

One service I offer is 'venue sourcing & booking'. If you are struggling for time or don't know where to start with finding your venue, I can help research and shortlist suitable venues, conduct price comparisons and arrange your viewing to your shortlisted venues, to help you achieve your dream wedding.

That’s exactly why on-the-day coordination exists. That’s exactly why on-the-day coordination exists. 

You’ve spent months planning your wedding, you shouldn’t spend the day making sure everyone else knows what they’re doing.

When you book me to be your on-the-day coordinator you get: 

• a handover meeting 6-8 weeks before, an opportunity for you to give me all the details that are in your brain and share all the details you have planned

• bespoke timeline created by me for your day 

• I will then do final confirmations with all your suppliers 2-4 weeks before and manage all communication from that point

• I will be there with you on the day for up to 10 hours, to manage all the details of your wedding day. Logistics, decor, suppliers, guests, venues and all the details in between. 

I have a few dates still available for on the day coordination for 2026 and the diary is open for 2027 & 2028. 

Book a call in with me or fill in the enquiry form through the links in the bio.

MONDAY WEDDING TIP. Don’t let your wedding date c MONDAY WEDDING TIP.

Don’t let your wedding date choose your suppliers.

I know for some people their wedding date is very important and can sometimes mean something to them, however for most it's just a date. You might find that when you start enquiring with your dream suppliers they aren't available.

However my advice would be don’t look to book someone or somewhere else just because your first choice isn’t available. If they’re important to you, ask about alternative dates before making a compromise.

And if your date is flexible, use that to your advantage.

Your wedding date is one detail. Where you get married and the people you trust to bring it all together are more important than the date in the grand scheme of things. They are what you are going to remember and feel when you think back to your wedding day.

The real flex isn't having the biggest wedding. It The real flex isn't having the biggest wedding. It's actually enjoying it.

Your engagement deserves to be full of excitement, date nights and happy memories, not endless spreadsheets and stress.

If you're looking for someone who's organised, calm, and will gently remind you that your wedding doesn't have to follow anyone else's rulebook, I'd love to help. 🤍

Save this for when the planning starts to feel like too much, or send it to someone who's recently got engaged.

My dad's line to me when we were planning our wedd My dad's line to me when we were planning our wedding was "you've got to cut your cloth accordingly", which meant I had to prioritize what I could actually afford V what I had on my wishlist. Which in my case, meant I didn't rent chairs for my venue that already had perfectly good chairs there for my guests to sit on 😂

Don’t start your wedding budget with what you've seen on social media or Pinterest. Start with your priorities.
Before booking anything, sit down together and decide:

• What matters most to you?
• What are your non-negotiables?
• Where are you happy to spend more?
• Where could you actually save?
• What are you not bothered about having? (Decide at the beginning so you don't get pulled into spending unnecessarily)

Then split your budget around what matters most to YOU, rather than what a wedding “should” cost.

Your budget should reflect your priorities, not everyone else’s and most importantly only be within a scope of what you can afford. 

If you need support with anything planning or budget prioritizing, I can help you with this.

Your bridesmaid has an opinion.
Your auntie has an opinion.

“Our venue coordinator will do that.” And they ab “Our venue coordinator will do that.”

And they absolutely might!

Venue coordinators are brilliant, and they play a really important role in making sure your venue runs smoothly on the day.

But there’s an important distinction between a venue coordinator and a wedding coordinator.

Your venue coordinator is there to look after the venue, the room furniture setup, catering, venue staff, timings and everything that needs to happen within the venue.

Your wedding coordinator is there to look after you.
Your suppliers.
Your timeline.
Your venues (if your day is based across multiple sites)
Your guests.
Your personal touches.
Your decorations and styling. 
Your plans.
And all those little details that make your wedding yours.

It’s not about one being better than the other, they actually work brilliantly together.

So when you’re deciding whether you need a wedding coordinator, ask your venue exactly what their coordinator will (and won’t) take care of. 
And what staffing looks like on the day. For example on my wedding day, the venue coordinator I had been discussing my plans with for months left mid-afternoon (as that was the end of her shift 😅) and I had another member of staff from that point onwards (who was great, thankfully, but I met her then and there on the day). 

Because knowing the difference could be the difference between managing your wedding day… and actually enjoying it. 

Save this for when you're speaking with the venue team 🩷

Before I was a wedding planner, I spent 13+ years Before I was a wedding planner, I spent 13+ years working in events, marketing and communications, producing everything from conferences, summits and workshops for some pretty incredible global brands across the world.

There have been a lot of highlights along the way. There have also been gastro bugs, forgotten names, terrifying glass floors, demanding clients and more last-minute problems than I care to remember 😂
But every one of those experiences taught me something.
How to stay calm when things go wrong.
How to find a solution when there isn't an obvious one.
How to manage a million moving parts without making it look like there are a million moving parts.

And that's probably the biggest thing I've brought with me into wedding planning and on the day coordination.
Because your wedding should feel exciting, personal and completely you,  not like you're managing an event. That's my job 🩷

So, if you're planning a wedding and feeling a little overwhelmed by everything that needs organising or you don't know who will get it done on the day, I'm your girl.

You don’t have to invite everyone. Your wedding g You don’t have to invite everyone.

Your wedding guest list doesn’t need to be a reflection of who you *should* invite. It should be a reflection of the people you genuinely want beside you when you say “I do”.

Family expectations, old friendships, work colleagues, friends of your parents and the dreaded “but they invited us to theirs…” can make your guest list hundreds of people long in a blink. But remember, this is *your* wedding.

If someone being there would add joy, invite them. If you’re only inviting them because you feel guilty, pressured or worried about what they’ll think… it’s okay to leave them off the list.

A smaller guest list can mean more time with the people you love, a more personal celebration and, importantly, more room in the budget for the things that matter to you. 

You’re allowed to choose your people.

I can’t even explain the breath I took yesterday w I can’t even explain the breath I took yesterday when I stood on the deck of a boat in the middle of the Irish Sea, looking out at this.

Life has been a lot over the last few months.

We’ve had some huge changes as a family. At Easter, I went back to my teaching job after maternity leave, full of emotion about how quickly my babies are growing. We then sold our first home of eight years, a place filled with so many memories and we’re currently doing up our new family home (prosecco budget, champagne dreams 😅) while staying with my wonderful parents. And, in the midst of all of that, we unexpectedly lost my lovely father-in-law.

It’s been a lot to hold and I've struggled with what to post on here and lost my momentum a little bit.

The reason I started this business isn’t because I hate my day job (I don’t), or because I’m secretly aiming to become a millionaire (although… wouldn’t that be nice 😆).

I started it because it brings me joy.

I love events. I missed working on them when I left the events agency world to become a business teacher a couple of years ago. I’ve always wanted to build something of my own, I know I’m very good at what I do, and I genuinely live and breathe planning and organising.

So combining that with events like weddings, days that are so full of joy, love and excitement, just felt like a no-brainer.

And yesterday, when I stepped onto the deck of the ferry and looked out at the moving sea and moody sky, knowing I was on my way to Ireland for a few weeks with my family, I felt a little bit lighter.

It reminded me that sometimes, when life feels heavy, it’s about finding the joy where you can or creating little specks of it for yourself. Because sometimes those little moments are enough to make you stop, take a breath, and remember that life is still pretty bloody beautiful.
The kindest words 🩷 What can I say, honestly Shau The kindest words 🩷

What can I say, honestly Shauna you are an all round superstar. Thank you so much for everything you did for us for our wedding day, you were honestly the most pivotal person to help our day run so smoothly and to plan.
We really appreciate all of the time and effort you took both in the planning before and on our actual wedding day in order to help us get everything just how we wanted. You are an absolute ray of sunshine and so incredibly organised I’m in awe!!
I would honestly recommend anyone who is currently in the stages of wedding planning to hire Shauna, you don’t realise how much you really need her until she is right there in your corner bringing everything together.
Thank you so much Shauna 💕 xx

I hear it all the time, couples who LOVE the plann I hear it all the time, couples who LOVE the planning stage of their wedding, they love the creative side of it and pulling all the details together.

Then they get to a few months before their wedding and think 'oh no who is actually going to set this up for me on the day.. I feel mega stressed, I won't be able to relax on the day, who is going to meet the suppliers and show them where to go, who will keep the timings on track on the day and then set up the table with all the treats and guest book for the evening guests arriving 🤯

Me, that's who 💗 I'm Shauna, wedding planner and on-the-day coordinator. I can be there to do it all. We will have a hand over meeting approx 4 weeks before your wedding, I take over all the final confirmations with your suppliers, pull together a timeline for the day and then I'm with you for 10 hours on your wedding day. To do all the things you need and more, so you can just enjoy it and be present.

I have dates still available this year, from September 2026 onwards, you're not too late! So if you've got to that stage of your planning and you're worrying, get in touch. I'd love to help you have the most wonderful day!

Monday Wedding Tip It's easy to get caught up in Monday Wedding Tip

It's easy to get caught up in the latest wedding trends, but remember, your wedding doesn't need to look like everyone else's.

The most memorable weddings are the ones that tell your story as a couple. Whether that's a relaxed celebration, a family-focused day, or a completely non-traditional wedding, choose details that feel authentic to you, not just what's popular on social media.

As an On-the-Day Coordinator, one of my favourite things is seeing couples embrace the elements that truly reflect who they are. 

My role is to make sure those personal touches come together seamlessly, allowing you to enjoy the day you've worked so hard to create.

Because years from now, your guests won't remember whether you followed every trend, they'll remember how your wedding felt.

Flowers can help set the tone for your entire wedding day. 

Booking your florist early gives you more choice and more flexibility in your final decision, rather than being limited due to time or availability. 

If you're thinking of fresh flowers, seasonal flowers are often fresher, more sustainable, and better value for your budget, so don't be limited by an inspiration picture you've found. Let the florist guide you, they are the experts in what they do 🌷
