Wedding planning can be wildly exciting, deeply personal and, at times, a little unruly. Between timelines, tablescapes, supplier decisions and a guest list that seems to develop a life of its own, there is plenty to keep track of. That is where a great planner changes everything, bringing structure to the logistics, clarity to the creative decisions and enough experience to keep the whole thing moving without flattening the fun out of it. Ahead, meet 18 UK wedding planners whose work spans everything from intimate, design-led gatherings to ambitious multi-day celebrations around the world.
Alice Wilkes Design
London-based Alice Wilkes Design is behind celebrations that often begin with a remarkable sense of scale: mesmerizing locations, ambitious builds and multi-day events that take guests somewhere entirely new. Her portfolio spans intimate weddings, destination celebrations and major events for royalty, VIPs and global luxury names. Yet what makes Alice’s work resonate goes beyond the spectacle. She pays close attention to the subtler architecture of a celebration, considering how each setting should open up, shift in mood and lead naturally into the next. Fashion and interiors often feed into Alice's visual language, but the experience of being there remains just as important as the image itself.
Isla & Smith
Isla & Smith creates celebrations with a strong visual pull, drawing on fashion, art, and design to shape the mood from the very first arrival. Their weddings often take over private estates, historic properties, and far-flung destinations, with the setting becoming an active part of the experience. Multi-day itineraries, several venues and guest lists stretching well beyond 300 are familiar territory, yet the team has a knack for keeping even the largest celebrations feeling close-knit and personal. A wide international network of artists, makers and suppliers allows them to work with real freedom across the South of France, Italy, Spain, Australia, Japan, Colombia, Bali, and beyond.
Hilde
Founded by Anne Ladegast-Chiu, Hilde plans contemporary weddings and private events across London, the UK and Europe with a clear design identity and a highly personal approach. Anne is as interested in the story behind a celebration as she is in how it looks, drawing out the references, traditions and details that make it specific to the people at its center. Fluent in English and German, she brings an easy international approach to destination and multi-day weddings, guiding the process with precision while leaving plenty of room for personality to come through.
Niemierko
With a portfolio that includes some very familiar names, Niemierko has spent more than 15 years creating weddings and parties for clients around the world. Founder Mark Niemierko planned Julia and James Corden’s wedding at Babington House, Rochelle and Marvin Humes’ celebration at Blenheim Palace, and events attended by members of the Royal Family. That level of experience comes with an instinct for handling high-profile occasions with discretion, but Mark’s real strength is how personal the process remains. He gets to know the people behind the guest list, shaping celebrations around their lifestyle, humor, and relationships rather than relying on a fixed idea of what luxury should look like.
Studio White
At Studio White, romance comes with a sharper silhouette. Founded by Kara Keble-White in 2020, the studio is drawn to celebrations where every choice carries weight, from the setting itself to the exact mood of a table after dark. There is glamour in Studio White's work, but also softness, intimacy and an instinct for knowing when to hold back. Nothing is there for effect alone. Kara is joined by Hannah Hill, whose 20 years across weddings, film, luxury brands, and private events bring formidable production experience behind the scenes. Together, they create destination weddings and events that feel beautifully composed, full of life, and with enough logistical muscle to make ambitious ideas look entirely natural.
11.11 Weddings
If your moodboard is full of vintage references, old films, and details you would happily rescue from another decade, 11.11 Weddings is the perfect planner for you. The East London studio works with couples who want substance as well as style, pulling inspiration from classic cinema, cultural references, and the craftsmanship of the past, then reworking it all through a more contemporary lens. At 11.11 Weddings, tradition is never treated as something fixed; it can be borrowed from, questioned, or completely reshaped to suit the people at the center of the celebration. That same thoughtfulness carries into the planning itself, with mindful consumption, intentional choices and collaborators selected for more than aesthetics alone.
Kristina Kempton
For Kristina Kempton, discretion is not an add-on to the service. It is built into the way the studio works. Kristina and her team are trusted by celebrities, high-profile couples, and luxury brands to handle celebrations where privacy matters and expectations run high. Behind the scenes, they take care of everything from venue sourcing to complex production, leaving clients free to be present rather than pulled into logistics. The finished events have a sense of grandeur and scale that you can't find elsewhere.
Golborne
With decades of combined experience, Natalia Hollingsworth and Sarah Kay have made Golborne the go-to agency for couples drawn to historic settings, ambitious production, and celebrations that unfold across more than one place. Operating globally from their base in London, the powerhouse duo intentionally takes on only a select number of weddings each year, ensuring every multi-day celebration receives their absolute focus. Natalia and Sarah treat complex, multi-country logistics with razor-sharp precision, transforming prestigious heritage sites into inviting, immersive spaces. Golborne’s signature magic lies in this exact balance: high-production and flawless execution that honors the grandeur of a venue while keeping the heart of the celebration intimate and warm.
Pocketful of Dreams
Behind Pocketful of Dreams is planner Michelle Kelly, who has spent more than a decade shaping a distinctly modern kind of romance. Think wild gardens, textured tablescapes, old houses with history in their walls, and spaces that feel gently composed rather than overly styled. Working from the Cotswolds across London, the UK and Europe, the studio draws heavily from landscape, craftsmanship and the character of a setting, translating those references into elegant, tactile weddings. There is often something familiar at the heart of their work, but it is reinterpreted with a fresher eye, giving classic romance a looser, more contemporary shape.
GSP Events
At GSP Events, three decades of luxury event production have only deepened founder Emma Gold’s love for a brilliant creative challenge. Emma and her dedicated, long-time team specialize in bringing the impossible to life, continuously expanding their horizons from the rugged Scottish Highlands to the elegant villas of Italy. Treating the continent as their own backyard, GSP effortlessly untangles complex international logistics using a coveted, carefully curated network of elite suppliers. The true hallmark of Emma’s work is her refusal to let experience turn into repetition, approaching every celebration with fresh curiosity and an instinct for taking the brief somewhere the couple did not quite expect.
Matthew Oliver Weddings
From New York to Oman, Matthew Oliver Weddings has spent more than a decade creating celebrations across very different corners of the world. Led by Matthew Oliver and his co-owner and partner, Bertie, the studio is built around two complementary strengths: creative ambition and logistical expertise. Matthew brings the ideas, visuals, and energy, while Bertie keeps the structure behind them running smoothly. Since the company was founded in 2012, that partnership has grown into a close-knit collective of planners and creative minds, supported by a trusted international network of suppliers.
Katrina Otter Weddings
Since 2013, wedding planner Katrina Otter of Katrina Otter Weddings and her team have been creating weddings where the setting is never simply a backdrop. Gardens, meadows, old estates, and the surrounding landscape often become part of the design itself, inspiring abundant florals, organic textures and celebrations that feel rooted in their settings. That natural sensibility is matched by a very personal planning style. Katrina built her studio around offering close, thoughtful support, staying deeply involved throughout the process and giving couples the confidence to enjoy it to the fullest.
Wonderlust Events
For Wonderlust Events, nostalgia is in finding the memories, places and small personal references that already carry meaning, then building a celebration around them. Holly, Becca, and their team take on only a handful of destination weddings each year, giving them the space to get unusually close to every brief and every couple behind it. That closeness shapes everything, from the people they bring into the project to the pace and structure of the days themselves. Nothing is lifted from a previous wedding or forced into a familiar format; each celebration is allowed to develop its own emotional thread.
Angela Mugnai Events
Look closely at Angela Mugnai’s work and you quickly realize that traditional wedding rules no longer apply. Based in London and Tuscany, she has spent over a decade proving that emotions are the ultimate luxury, crafting bespoke international events that never repeat twice. Art, fashion, history, and artisanal craft all find their way into Angela's work, often through unexpected references, custom details, and collaborations with makers. The common thread is not a signature look, but a willingness to lead each couple toward something genuinely individual, even when that means rewriting the visual language from the ground up.
Natalie Hewitt Events
For Natalie Hewitt, a wedding is rarely confined to a single setting or a single chapter. Since founding her namesake studio in 2012, she has planned celebrations in London’s landmark hotels and across private estates and European destinations, often with multiple settings and plenty happening behind the scenes. Her team has a particular talent for keeping the many moving parts in step, from guest travel to complex production schedules, so couples can enjoy the occasion as it happens. Natalie’s design aesthetic draws as much from interiors and architecture as it does from fashion and the natural world. The setting is always part of the conversation, with each creative decision bringing the celebration a little closer to the people it belongs to.
In Awe
In Awe creates celebrations that look impeccably put together but never forget what everyone came for: a very good time. Under founder Emily’s creative direction, the team works across private homes, country estates, marquees, and destination settings, adapting their approach to the character of each space and the people filling it. Fourteen years in the industry have given Emily a sure hand with the practical side of large-scale events, but there is plenty of creative nerve in the mix too. The weddings feel elegant and personal, with enough energy running through them to keep things feeling celebratory rather than overly staged.
Studio Sorores
Established in 2010 by Jessie Westwood, Studio Sorores has built its name on assured, laid-back luxury. From its Cotswolds studio, Jessie and her team design weddings, milestone celebrations, and private events around the world, bringing a fashion-aware eye to everything from the overall setting to the smallest details guests encounter along the way. Behind that ease is serious experience: more than 16 years of planning, production, travel and concierge know-how, all handled with the kind of care that keeps both couples and their guests feeling looked after. Jessie’s background as an entertaining expert comes through clearly, with hospitality treated as an integral part of the celebration.
Bluebird Creative
As the driving force behind Bluebird Creative, Lauren Goodman has spent nearly a decade bringing the most romantic, imaginative concepts to life. Surprisingly, her journey into high-end event planning began on the ice; her background as a competitive ice skater and coach instilled in her a unique understanding of movement, timing, and precision. Lauren finds that the intense discipline, fluid creativity, and meticulous attention to detail developed during her skating years translate flawlessly into the complex choreography of luxury weddings. She is constantly striving to push creative boundaries, going far beyond typical expectations of what a wedding planner can provide to design immersive, story-led celebrations that remain classic at heart, but never confined by tradition.
