Your Wedding Planner in Cheshire, Derbyshire. Yorkshire & Beyond

Meet Victoria...

​

Hello! I’m Victoria, a Wedding Planner based in Glossop, Derbyshire, nestled in the stunning Peak District just outside Manchester. Originally from Yorkshire, I now spend my days helping couples like you turn their dream weddings into reality - without the stress.

​

The photo you see here? That was taken shortly after my husband, Steven, and I said those magical words: "I do." After 18 months of meticulous planning, I experienced firsthand what it’s like to see a vision come to life - every detail, every carefully chosen element, all coming together for the most perfect day. That feeling is exactly what I want for you: the joy of being fully present, knowing everything is expertly handled.​

Why Wedding Planning?

​

With nearly 15 years in international corporate events, I thrived on organisation, logistics, and creative problem-solving - skills that naturally led me to wedding planning. In July 2021, I took the leap and launched my own business, bringing my expertise into an industry I truly love.​​

​

I was drawn to weddings because of their warmth and personal connections—a refreshing change from the high-pressure corporate world. My background has prepared me for anything (I once had to navigate the aftermath of a major airline crash during an aviation event in Malaysia!), so you can trust that no challenge is too big.

​

Planning my own wedding, and helping friends and family with theirs, opened my eyes to how overwhelming and time-consuming the process can be. Add in the chaos of the Covid-19 pandemic, and I knew I wanted to help couples create their dream weddings, no matter the obstacles.

​What to Expect When Working With Me

 

I’m a firm believer that wedding planning should feel exciting, not stressful. My approach is:

​

  • Collaborative & Personalised – I take the time to listen to your vision, ensuring your wedding is a reflection of you as a couple.

​

  • Organised & Methodical – From timelines to supplier management, I ensure no detail is overlooked.

​

  • Calm & Prepared – Whether it’s a last-minute supplier hiccup or an overflowing toilet at a marquee wedding (yes, that happened!), I handle everything so you don’t have to. In fact, it will be fixed before you even notice.

​

  • Always Accessible – From our initial complimentary consultation to the big day, I’m here to answer questions, ease concerns, and offer guidance whenever needed.

​

  • Hands-On & Detail-Oriented – On your wedding day, you’ll find me with my trusty clipboard and emergency kit (check out my Instagram reel for a peek inside!) ensuring everything runs smoothly.

​

The best part? Many of my couples start as clients and become friends, making this job even more special.

​

💘 I met my husband, Steven, online - long before Tinder was even a thing! A true old-school digital love story. 

​

​👶 Our little whirlwind, Arthur, was born in March 2022. He’s full of energy, keeps me on my toes, and brings endless joy to our lives.

​

🌍 Travel is my passion, and my career has taken me all over the world. From bustling cities to tropical beaches, I love discovering new places (and new foods!).

​

🍸 Hand me an espresso martini, and I’m happy. The perfect mix of coffee and cocktails? Yes, please!

​

🍽 I’m a total foodie and love eating out. Whether it’s fine dining or a hidden gem of a street food spot, I’m always up for a great meal.

​

🎶 Live music is my jam - but I’m more of a glamper than a camper. Festivals? Yes. Sleeping in a muddy field? Not so much.

​

🔍 Netflix true crime documentaries are my guilty pleasure. Give me a gripping whodunit, and I’m hooked.

​

📅 I’m the Queen of organisation! My friends always count on me to plan our next trip, weekend away, or big event - down to the last detail.
