  • Do I need a Wedding Planner?
    On average, it can take around 200– 400 hours to plan a wedding so we believe it goes without saying that having an experienced wedding planner will save you time! An experienced wedding planner will not only save you time, but often money too. Couples will book a wedding planner after realising that the sourcing of reputable suppliers is often quite tricky, and just want the peace of mind that hiring a professional planner brings. Having a wedding planner on board from the early stages of planning will ensure that both your budget and your day are in safe hands

  • What happens during our initial consultation meeting?
    The purpose of the initial consultation is to learn more about you both, your vision and aspirations, as well as an opportunity for you to ask us any questions (in our experience there are always lots). We’ll begin to get to know each other which is hugely important for two reasons, firstly so we can begin to put together a detailed design that’s totally bespoke to you and your wedding, and secondly so we can ensure we are good fit for you both. During our consultation we’ll run through a detailed questionnaire that will ensure we have all the key information about your wedding vision. To ensure you are as prepared as possible and to make the most of our time together, it’s helpful to have the following information handy: Do you have an idea of time of year and location for your wedding (if you’ve not already booked your date or venue)? Do you have an idea of guest numbers? What is your estimated wedding budget? Then, you can hit us with your Pinterest boards, and anything else you’ve gathered to allow us to talk through and manage expectations.
  • Will we still be involved in our wedding planning?
    As experienced wedding planners, we are always about working alongside our couples regardless of which option you choose. This is your day, and the decisions made will ultimately be yours. Some couples like to be more involved than others but essentially, you can be involved as much, or as little as you choose.
  • Will you be there on the day of our wedding?
    Absolutely! If you have booked any of our packages that include On-The-Day coordination, we will be there to ensure that everything goes smoothly, and your dream day is exactly as you envisioned. After the months of careful planning, and intricate organisation, we wouldn’t miss it for the world.
  • What about Marquee Weddings?
    Marquee weddings are a wonderful blank canvas, and the increased number of logistical considerations this setting creates is a challenge and one we love. It’s a big yes to marquee weddings from SLR Event Design.

We’ll know every detail of your wedding to the same degree as you. This makes us the best equipped to manage the day so it runs smoothly.
