“We used Caroline’s full planning service for our wedding and I cannot emphasise enough how strongly I feel this was money well spent! And how unbelievably grateful I am for Caroline’s help / advice / experience. As two very time poor people with zero experience in planning events - it would have been a recipe for disaster without Caroline. She helped us bring our dream day to life whilst removing the massive stress burden of organising a wedding for over 100 people. Don’t underestimate how much work goes into making your big day come together and run smoothly - I honestly could not recommend Caroline more. The end result was the most incredible day, beyond our wildest dreams. Everything came together better than I could have ever imagined - from the big things like the flowers, venue, transport, church, music, down to the tiny details that make the day, like blankets and umbrellas. Not a single thing went wrong, we loved every second of it and so did our guests. Thank you so much Caroline, for organising the best day of our lives!”
“Choosing The Planning Lounge for my intimate wedding in December 2023, was undoubtedly the best decision I made. Caroline proved to be amazing, from planning to execution. Her extensive collection of beautiful props added an elegant touch to our wedding reception (a private event). As someone who meticulously plans every detail, working with Caroline was a delight, and I never had any concerns about the smooth execution of our plans. She provided constant updates, instilling confidence and going above and beyond by recommending reliable suppliers. Thanks to her suggestion, I obtained an affordable yet stunning bouquet. I am grateful for everything she did to ensure my wedding was special and stress-free. The reception's style and interior design, admired by our guests, created a truly magical atmosphere. Thank you!!!”

If you are thinking of booking The Planning Lounge, do not hesitate - it was one of the best investments we made for our wedding! Caroline helped us on our entire wedding planning journey, including visiting prospective venues, coming up with styling inspiration and on-the-day coordination to make sure our wedding day was effortless, special and memorable. As we’re overseas, having Caroline based in the UK was an enormous help, especially with her connections. She was able to suggest so many amazing suppliers including photographers, videographers, cake, hair and make up, entertainment, furniture/games hire, just to name a few. Caroline also worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure our wedding day ran smoothly. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the day, which was testament to how organised and efficient Caroline was!”

As a self confessed control freak, handing over control of my wedding plans was always going to difficult, but as soon as I spoke to Caroline every worry slipped away and she had my total trust.

When we arrived at Ewenny, it was exactly what we pictured. We were ecstatic! All of our suppliers commented on how great you were and were really impressed with you. Also really appreciate the flexibility on the day and the way you adapted to go with the flow and made everything happen seamlessly. Thanks again, you were a vital part of the team that helped to make it the best day ever!”

Read More“My husband and I cannot thank Caroline enough for making our wedding day so magical! For anyone thinking of hiring her, we would highly recommend her - you will seriously not regret it! We knew we could absolutely rely on her to ensure everything ran smoothly in the run up and on the day itself meaning that my husband & I didn't have to worry or think about anything and could just enjoy our day. All of her suggestions were so helpful - for example we had a pianist playing outside on the hottest of the day, and last minute Caroline provided a gazebo for the performance. She was proactive in making so many suggestions that we wouldn't have even thought about - that may have seemed small but made such a big difference including cute water dispensers for when guests arrived, as well as candles, lanterns, baskets etc adding some spark to the ceremony and table decor. She was consistently responsive, reliable, organised and didn't miss a single thing in those last few weeks, and we trusted all of her guidance and suggestions! THANKS SO MUCH! We will miss working with you :)”

She’s just brilliant, has a really creative eye and is the most organised person I’ve ever met.

Dealing with Caroline was brilliant, her professional manner, quick replies to our enquiries and friendly persona made dealing with her very easy.
