Frequently Asked Questions
-
I usually step in around 4–6 weeks before your wedding or event. This gives me time to get to know your plans, review your timeline, confirm supplier details, and make sure everything is in place so the handover feels seamless.
-
Yes, I’m there from setup through to the key moments of the day, including supplier arrivals, ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast, speeches, and evening transitions. I’m usually onsite for 8-10 hours and will ensure everything is running smoothly before departing, usually before the first dance.
-
Absolutely. These are my speciality. Marquee, barn, and home garden weddings often involve more logistics, suppliers, and moving parts, and having someone experienced overseeing the day makes a huge difference.
-
Yes, I meet and greet all suppliers, act as their main point of contact, and make sure everyone knows the schedule and setup. This includes florists, stylists, caterers, bands or DJs, transport, and any additional suppliers you’ve booked.
-

-
Not quite. Wedding day coordination is perfect if you’re doing a DIY wedding but want someone professional to take over on the day. If you’re looking for more hands-on support throughout the planning process, my consultancy or partial planning service may be a better fit - I’m happy to help you decide.
-
I provide wedding day coordination across Sussex, Surrey, and Hampshire, and sometimes London. I regularly work at barns, private homes, and marquee venues throughout the South East.
-
If you want to enjoy your wedding without managing suppliers, timings, or logistics, and love the idea of having a calm, friendly professional looking after everything, then wedding day coordination is likely a perfect fit.

Prices start from £1200 depending on various factors.
What Couples Are Saying…
“Amanda is absolutely amazing! Could not recommend her enough. I had a 'DIY' wedding - with a marquee in the garden and various suppliers (catering, bar, loo, marquee, band , cake, photographer, florist...) Running up to the big day Amanda takes all the pain and stress away which allowed me to enjoy the run up, but I was also has some involvement and Amanda kept me up to date and we talked a lot - which was fab. I don't know what I would have done without Amanda on the day - she organised everything - kept the day running smoothly and has so much energy and enthusiasm. She also thinks of the all the little details that I would not have. Chris is also brilliant and did a fantastic job with the logistics. Could not recommend enough!”

“Amanda, we cannot thank you enough for your amazing organisational skills. You went above and beyond in helping us and helped us through so many hurdles we faced the week of the wedding. We would recommend you a million times over to anyone who will listen! You were pure joy to work with and be around so thank you.”
— Bimmie & Matt
“I hired Amanda for my wedding day to ensure everything went smoothly. Amanda is highly organised and took a thorough briefing of the order of the day beforehand to enable her to deliver a perfect day for me and my husband. She dealt quickly and efficiently with any issues that arose using her initiative and expertise. She was extremely professional and obviously knows how to run a successful event. I can not recommend her highly enough.”
