Our wedding planner is pleased to announce that we have moved to a larger premises in lincolnshire

Creative wedding planning is now operating from its new base in Lincolnshire.  We have not moved far, only about thirty miles, and we still cover the same area as before.  Our wedding planner is allready working on two local weddings, and we have only been here a few weeks!

Our new address:
Creative Wedding Planning
Coppercoin
Collingham Road
Lincolnshire
LN6 9LP

We are really pleased with the move to Lincolnshire.  Whilst we have moved into the countryside, we are still very close to all of the big towns, and feel more connected than before. We are just of the A46 in between Lincoln and Newark-on-Trent. We are very close to the A1, and can be in Manchester, Sheffield, Grantham Leicester, Lincoln, Nottingham and Newark on trent really quickly

We are delighted to have moved to Lincolnshire. Our service will still be nationwide, but our local focus will be on Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and South Yorkshire

If you are a bride or groom in the area, be sure to call us, we are very connected locally, and it will be a pleasure to speak to you

If you are looking for my husband, Richard King the wedding photographer, he has moved too, but the phone number remains the same – 0115 845 8953.  Look at my husbands new trendy wedding photography site here: KING Wedding Photography

Best wishes

Elizabeth the wedding planner

How can a wedding planner save you this money?

In almost every aspect of planning a wedding there seems to be hidden charges and costs.   Example – Venues especially will try and double charge you an administration fee for bringing in your own band or DJ.  As your wedding planner I will properly negotiate for you, ensuring such fees are normally waived.

The funny thing about weddings is that normally prudent couples don’t spot obvious duplication of costs Example – why have chair covers in a chapel, and then use more covers on the chars in the adjoining dining room?  In this instance we would have a member of staff move the chairs, which only takes a few min’s while your wedding photography is being done.  This could save you a few hundred pounds

An experienced wedding planner is what you need

My experience of negotiating contracts, knowing what is exactly needed (and what isn’t) saves you money.  This can either just be saved, or put towards another aspect of the wedding

Overall, in nearly all cases, I have directly saved the couple more than my fee

Yes this is true.  I can do this because I am totally transparent.  I pass any savings I negotiate directly on to my brides, grooms and couples

We don’t handle your money

It is about the only thing we ask you to do.  We negotiate for you, and then tell you who needs paying, and when.  You can directly see who and what you are paying for

Although I am asked daily by suppliers, I NEVER accept referral fees, neither do I accept the double invoice method of charging (a practice where the client is sent a different invoice than the planner

Couples respect me for this, and so do my suppliers

I am 100% independent

The package offered at many venues, will include a photographer, caterer, car etc.  Often, in the background, all of these suppliers will be paying the venue for “being on the list”.  Nothing infuriates me more as a creative wedding planner than these closed packages.  They offer brides, grooms and couples an inflexible package where the suppliers feel that they are being squeezed on price when providing their service

As your wedding planner I am 100% independent.  For example: when choosing a car for you, we choose the one you want, not the one on the short list.  By being independent, we can choose the very best for you.  For example: if you want a DJ, then you may want something better than the local hotel chap, we will find you the band or DJ that suits your needs the best

Being independent saves you money too

I deal with all suppliers, not those on the list.  Often this means we can find you a better supplier, that hasn’t offered a stripped down package for the venue, for the same price, or usually a better price than the price factored in by the venue

It’s not all about money

Our criteria for sourcing you a supplier is quality, talent, reliability, creativity and honesty.  Most of the time, the very best people, also offer the best prices.  They do take some finding, but we do find them

My budget is modest, can you help?

There is a misconception that wedding planners are for the very rich.  In fact we can help a couple just as much if the wedding is on a smaller more modest budget.  We have organised plenty of smaller weddings, and still saved couples a lot of money

I have a budget, and that’s it

We agree.  If we are working to an exact budget for you, we will stick with it.  If your expectations are a little high, we will tell you.  Managing the budget can be the most stressful part of wedding planning. Again our creative skills and negotiating skills enable us to deliver so much more than most couples could achieve on their own

I want to speak to a wedding planner and find out more

Just call me -  Elizabeth King on 01552 776591 – it will be the easiest and best phone call you can make about your wedding

Why use a UK wedding planner?

Dealing with venues and suppliers form a different time zone can be challenging, this is where our UK wedding planning service is helpful.  With one point of contact, the task of planning a UK wedding can not be any easier

What do I need to do

If you live outside of the UK, and you want to organise a wedding in the UK, call our wedding planner on 0044 1522 776591, and we can begin sorting things out for you

We have organised weddings for UK citizens who live abroad as ex-pat’s and couples from the USA, Australia, Canada, and Mainland Europe.   As well as organising your wedding day, we will be able to advise you on the legalities and customs when getting married in the UK

I want something special

Our UK wedding planner is experienced in both large and small weddings, and will be able to find you the perfect venue, and arrange some of the best local creative suppliers. We are very client-centric. We listen to you, and deliver exactly what you want, on budget

We work on weddings of any scale or location. If you are looking for a city wedding in for example: Bath, Nottingham, Manchester, London or Glasgow, or a county wedding in a quaint church, followed up by a reception in a great hall, then you only need to contact us, and we will arrange the rest for you

Can you look after my visiting guests

It is likely many of your guests will be travelling from abroad. We can also organise local transportation and accommodation for them, so they can just enjoy your wedding day

Where do you cover

Our UK wedding planner organises weddings all over the British Isles – England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and also in the Chanel Islands.  Elizabeth the wedding planner works worldwide, and has even organised a wedding in Cuba!

Who uses a UK wedding planner and what are he benefits?

Ex-pat’s and people abroad wanting to marry in England usually use a UK wedding planner for convenience.  However the benefits are numerous.  We will:

• Organise everything, from start to finish
• Work to your agreed budget
• Be easy to communicate with
• Save you a lot of money (usually more than our fee) by passing on any discounts and savings we negotiate directly on to you
• Be a single point of reference for your UK wedding
• Manage and coordinate everything efficiently
• Design and plan your wedding with creative flair
• Listen to you
• Coordinate and organise everything before your wedding, but also on the day, and if needed the day-or-so afterwards

Organising a wedding is stressful enough, organising it at a distance is nearly impossible without local help on the ground

Discrete, exclusive and dedicated to you

Our UK wedding planner is totally discrete, and offers a very special and exclusive service for the hardest to please discerning client’s.  We use only the the very best, highly talented creative  suppliers. Our wedding planner puts you the client first. No mater what your needs are, we can accommodate them. If you need security, childcare or chauffeurs etc. we can organise it all for you

If you are looking for the very best, for a company that demands the highest quality, then look no further

“I have never done this before, I do not know what to expect”

Planning a wedding is a mixture of feelings – It is the most special day of your lives, yet it is also very costly – both in terms of the actual time it takes to get everything organised, money and stress levels

Hiring a wedding planner can be the best move you can make

One of my happy couples

By hiring me as your wedding planner I will:

• Save you money (usually more than my fee)
• Craft you a creative and beautiful wedding day
• Listen to what you want, not what everyone is telling you that you are going to have
• Do the legwork for you, saving you days and weeks of time
• Give you a stress free and smooth ride
• Stop you walking straight  into the usual wedding planning problems
• Organise everything for you efficiently and on budget
• Make sure that everything is organised and done in the right order

It sounds too good to be true

I am a very plain speaking straightforwards person.As your wedding planner I will tell it to you how it is. Any deals or reductions in price I negotiate for you, are passed on directly to you. I am very transparent, and very independent.  I have organised countless weddings, and I know the wedding industry backwards.

I have 1000′s of ideas and ways of making your wedding day to be the day you dreamed of.  Call me today, and speak to a person that listens to you, you will be really surprised how easy everything can be

Are you feeling overwhelmed?

Weddings are very stressful to organise. Not only do you have to sort all of the logistics, you have to get creative, find suppliers for all of those impossible things to find…  to top it all your families are pulling you one way and another.  Knowing where to go, who to speak to, what to do next can be very daunting and time-consuming. The bigger the wedding, the more there seems to be to do

We can help.  Hiring me as your wedding planner will sort out most of these issues in one phone call.  I cant promise to 100% sort your families out, but having a wedding planner actually makes most of the more assertive family members back off and leave you to enjoy your engagement

As your wedding planner I will do absolutely everything you want or need me to sort out.  We find venues, marquees, caterers, coaches, bouncy castles – anything!  We make sure the day runs smoothly, we make sure the run up to your wedding is relaxing and enjoyable

Some things not to do?

I know that most couples find out the hard way that the wedding industry is just that – an industry.  What seems to be perfect, turns out to be restrictive and limited.  Weddings are about romance, families, dreams the future…  As a wedding planner, it is nice to deal with the “industry” for the couple and ensure that only the best, honest and most talented suppliers are used

• Don’t book a venue, or any other supplier at a wedding fayre. Venues and suppliers spend a fortune looking at thier best at a wedding fayre, you need to find out the reality first.  Wedding fayres are great for ideas, and to get a feel for a company.  Meet the people listen to what they are saying, but make your decisions in the following days after a little more research has been done
• Don’t book a venue or supplier without seeing ALL of the fine print
• Don’t be bullied into the “our preferred supplier is… ” issue.   If you want your Aunt to do the flowers, thats fine
• Don’t let your families push you into the day they want (rather then the day you want)
• Don’t forget your budget.  While all the big things add up nicely, all the little things can cost a fortune too
• Don’t forget that a “package” at a hotel or venue, is often a formula that increases the profits for the venue – i.e. it reduces thier work effort whilst increasing what you are paying

What should we do?

Well apart from calling me… do take a step back and write down exactly what it is you want from the day – what is important to you as a couple, not everyone else.  Too many couple try to have the dream wedding of their friends or family.  Do insist on having what you want, and not what you are told you can have.  We don’t do inflexible here at Creative Wedding Planning!

What will you do for me?

As little or as much as you need or want.  As your wedding planner I will usually start by having a long discussion with you, finding out exactly what you want and need.   We will bounce around lots of creative ideas.    I will then find you the perfect venue and suppliers. and begin organising all of big and small things to make the day perfect

It’s about you

If you take just one thing from this web page then remember this:

“It is your wedding, as a couple it is about you”

If you choose us as your wedding planner, you will find out that this is exactly our philosophy when it comes to planning your wedding – It is your wedding, as a couple, it is about you.  No mater what supplier, venue, photographer or company you deal with – make sure they are putting you first

If you get married in a church, or one of these venues listed below, you can always hold your wedding reception somewhere else

Are you considering using a Wedding planner?

Our wedding planner is based in Lincolnshire.  If you are considering choosing a venue in Lincolnshire call us on 01522 776591.  We will be happy to give you some friendly advice.  Just because a venue has a “package” and a on-site “wedding coordinator / receptionist) doesn’t mean you can’t organise the wedding you want.  Choosing a wedding planner usually means overall you save money! Yes, we often save a couple more than our fee whilst also creating the wedding day of their dreams

One of the biggest mistakes couples make is booking everything at a wedding fayre at a venue.  At a wedding fayre, everything is made to look 100% special, and pressure is put on you to book, both the venue and the preferred suppliers.  Many of the very best suppliers don’t attend wedding Fayre’s, or the wedding fayre at the venue of your choice.  Many Fayre’s have a very restricted list of suppliers, and there is a commercial reason for this! Speak to our wedding planner, who really knows how to sort out whats hot, and whats not!

When you are at the stage of looking at venues, it is often the very point where a wedding planner can make the biggest impact on your wedding day.  By far, the venue is the single biggest expense and cause of the most headaches.  Our wedding planner is used to dealing with venues, and knows all the tricks they use to “bump up the bill” and make you have the day they want you to have and not the day you want to have.  We have one starting point – you the couple are the customer, and you are paying, so you WILL get what you want, and not what you are told you can have

What is a wedding venue?  Often a wedding venue is a business that uses weddings to cross subsidise the rest of thier business.  We are very aware of this.  Why settle for a restricted menu, or a fixed list of suppliers, or a formulaic wedding.   Dont bang your head on the wall, call our wedding planner, and get your wedidng the  the way YOU want it

Gemma and James decided to have a small intimate wedding ceremony mid-week at Hassop Hall, this was celebrated with there close family. This was so beautifully done; the registrars had such a great sense of humor and made the family feel at there ease. And what a beautiful room it was too for the ceremony, please see below.

After the couple exchanged their vows to each other, and was pronounced man and wife. The registrar went one step further and involved the mums of James and Gemma. He asked them to step forward where there was a candle display, he simply lit up 2 matches and passed one match to each of the mums, and said a few words, and then both mums lit the candle together at the same time. How simple, but o so beautiful and the same time. This was called the unity candle ceremony, this symbolizes the joining together of two families. See for your self below.

After the ceremony the family made there way out into the reception area, where they was served champagne and canapés

After the family had been served Champagne and canapés, the photographer whisked the couple off for a few private photos, this gave the couple time to relax and reflect.   This was finished off by a walk around the grounds of Hassop Hall, followed by more photographs. Please see below more photos.

I was most impressed by the service and attention to detail of the staff there at Hassop Hall, the family was even served more Champagne in the garden, I thought that was an extremely nice touch.

Gemma and James decided to go for the mid week lunch time package at Hassop Hall, this included the ground floor room for the ceremony, use of the reception area, gardens, and also a small intimate room upstairs for the wedding breakfast. This was just perfect for this couple, and size of this party. It just shows you that small can be beautiful. And what’s important to one couple is not necessary important to another. Everyone is different and unique.

Congratulations
I would just like to say congratulations to Gemma and James, and wish you all the luck and happiness for the future. Thank you for letting us share your special day, and meeting your lovely family. Love from Richard and Elizabeth.

The start of my day
My day started much earlier than the couple and guests. Robert and Wayne took advantage of  hiring me for a couple of packages, one of which included the on the day package to co-ordinate the day – they didn’t want the stress on the day spoiling things for them

The happy couple gave strict instructions to the venue for them not to be disturbed, well only by myself.  The on-the-day co-ordination package  includes front line management, the timing of the day, organising my suppliers and looking after the couples guests.  Details included table plans, finishing touches of tables, which included the organising of where people are sitting, placing of name cards and the cake, sitting order, over seeing the day, dealing with any problems that may accure and dealing with them as and when required

A wonderful and memorable ceremony
What a memorable ceremony it was.  Robert and Wayne had live music playing while their guests entered the chapel, during the signing of the register, and also while the couple and guests was leaving.  Wayne and Robert’s witnesses walked down the aisle a minute or so before the happy couple.  Robert and Wayne walked down the aisle to their favorite song, walking hand in hand whilst Robert was holding the ring cushion along with the rings and a rose all tied up with a bow

One of there friends stood up and gave a reading.  It was very heartfelt.  After the reading she gave them both a hug, it was very emotional.  Robert and Wayne then took there vows, this was followed by more live music and photography

After the ceremony
After the ceremony the couple walked along the red carpet to be served champagne.  This was closely followed by their guests to be served more welcome drinks – what lucky guests they were, they were truly looked after

After the serving of the drinks, the photographer began taking photographs in the bar area, and then proceeded outside in the beautiful gardens

Finishing touches
While the guests were outside I put the finishing touches to the parkside restaurant, then I lit the candles.  It looked and smelt amazing – with the fragrance from the roses, flowers, herbs on the table centerpiece display, the reflections from the mirrors underneath and the musicians playing in the back ground… ’well’ it looked fantastic, but see for yourself, here is a photo below

The look on Wayne and Roberts face when they entered the parkside restaurant, just said it all to me really

The speeches
When it came to the speeches, the best man Paul did a great job, he entertained everyone with his wit and charm, I think he may have done this before.  He did a great job, and I am sure that the couple must have be very pleased

Robert made a truly memorable speach, and especially when he included myself in this.  I was totally taken a back with what they said to me and about me, this will stay with me forever.  I had to fight back the tears when Robert and Wayne presented me with this fantastic display of flowers.  See  the photos below

After the speeches and more photos, the party continued back into the chapel where Wayne and Roberts evening reception had started.  The couple had there first dance, it was so romantic, then straight after there dance every got up to join in with there celebrations, this was so lively, and every go into the spirit of the occasion.  We took over a few rooms over at Bestwood Lodge including the conservatory and the Sherwood room.  We used the conservatory for displaying the cake, chocolate fountain, and the buffet area. We used the Sherwood room for a small bar, and a quiet sitting area for guests

I hope Wayne Robert and guests enjoyed this special day half as much as I did.

At the end of the evening when I knew my work had been done, and the party was in full swing I left Robert and Wayne with there guests to carry on partying on to the small hours of the morning

Thank you
I would like to say a special big thank you to all the staff at Bestwood Lodge, for all of there kindness and hard work on the day.  Also a big thank you to the chef who provided that lovely food.  I am looking forward to working with you all again soon

I also would like to say a big big thank to the great Nero string Trio for there amazing music, added a lovely atmosphere on the day, very professional

Also a big thank you to Vaas the florists, outstanding work.  The work speaks for its self, such a high standard

I will be in trouble if I don’t say a big thank you to my lovely husband who did my photography, which included all my table and detailed shots for my website, thank you.   He did go a little beyond his role as a photographer, I told him he would only there for a couple of hours, he ended up being there all day,  returning home with my self late evening. He was another pair of invaluable hands on the day, and I am very grateful. www.bwp-by-rk.co.uk

And lastly but not least a big thanks to the team at velvet chocolate fountains, great presentation, and I was told yummy chocolate and dips

Congratulations
A message to Wayne and Robert.  It was an honor and a privilege to have helped create, plan and co-ordinate your special day.  I hope I have truly created that Wow factor that you was asking for.  I hope we can keep in touch in the future

“Congratulations you guys”
