Nottingham & Rutland Wedding Planner

Meet the Planner

I started ‘that black & white cat’ weddings seven years ago as I’ve always had a passion for planning events. I also wanted a change of direction in my life after spending my career to date as a Chartered Accountant in London and quite frankly being burnt out as a result. So from there I did my training with the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners (UKAWP) and with over thirty weddings under my belt and multiple wedding planning awards here we are today. You can find out more about me Here.

Stress free Wedding Planning

What our clients say

Booking Linzi was the best decision we made in our wedding planning journey ... On the day Linzi looked after everything, she made the entire day so stress free which just meant we were free to enjoy it all and not worry about anything!
Jo and Henry
My advice to anyone getting married is to 100% get a wedding planner, and get Linzi!! All of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to and wanted us to renew our vows so we can do it again next year!!
Laura and Gina
Linzi is just outstanding in her organisational ability and calm, friendly approach to everything she does. I can't thank her enough for all that she did in such a short space of time to help us organise the most fantastically memorable and happy wedding day. We were so lucky to find her!
A+B
Hands down, working with Linzi is the best decision we made! Linzi's knowledge, supplier network, and attention to detail paired with her fab personality and a killer spreadsheet made planning our wedding so much fun!
Louise and Tom
She really is an expert in outdoor weddings, and was a font of knowledge from day one. On the day itself, we were able to relax and just enjoy the day without worrying about a thing ...Thank you so much Linzi!
