Why Wed Start?

Wed-Start is owned by Isabel Smith, a wedding industry veteran with over 10 years of experience planning weddings all over the world.

Recognising that there is a lot of planning advice out there (some excellent, and some utterly appalling!), she wanted to make true expertise accessible to everyone, only working with experienced wedding planners who really have seen it all!

“Most of the couples I meet are really excited to start planning their wedding, but get utterly overwhelmed once they start looking in to things. There’s a lot to think about, it’s your own money and you only have the one chance to get it right so of course it can be terrifying!

The idea behind Wed-Start is that couples can have time with really experienced planners to ask questions and help them map out their wedding day and how to make it happen. We aim to take all that initial stress out of the process so they can have fun planning their wedding themselves, without missing anything out or making expensive mistakes.”

“Not everyone wants or needs a wedding planner, just a bit of expert advice to get them going. A decent head start - or a Wed-Start!”

The consultation was so useful and I use the planning documents all the time. The excel is amazing and has helped with all stages of planning and budgeting. I definitely think that what we paid will have saved us far more by having a clear plan for the process rather than just heading in blind.
