Full wedding planning is for couples who want to enjoy getting married — without the endless to-do lists, admin, and decision fatigue that comes with it. Whether you’re planning a marquee wedding at home, a spectacular celebration on private land or a country house wedding, I’ll take care of the planning and logistics so you can focus on enjoying it.
I take care of the planning from start to finish, acting as your main point of contact, organiser and problem-solver throughout. From venues and suppliers to contracts, budgets and logistics, everything is handled clearly and calmly, with a structured plan behind it.
As an experienced UK wedding planner specialising in outdoor, marquee and tipi weddings, I know exactly what needs thinking through — and when. If you’re short on time, planning around busy lives, or simply want the reassurance that nothing is being missed, this is the most comprehensive level of support I offer.
You stay informed, involved as much (or as little) as you like, and free to actually enjoy the process — knowing the details are in safe hands.
What does our full wedding planning package include…
I'll take care of the planning behind the scenes, keeping everything organised and moving forward, so you can enjoy the exciting parts without getting bogged down in the details. We'll have regular catch-ups, planning meetings and site visits, and I'll liaise directly with suppliers, manage conversations and lead meetings. You'll work directly with me throughout, with ongoing advice, updates and support whenever you need it.
You’ll receive a clear, tailored wedding plan that maps out every stage of your wedding. It’s designed to keep everything organised and give you confidence that nothing is being missed.
I'll help you establish a realistic wedding budget, making sure your priorities are reflected in how your money is spent. From reviewing supplier quotations and tracking costs to managing payment schedules and monitoring your budget, I'll keep everything on track so you can make informed decisions and get the best from your investment. And with my background as a Chartered Accountant, you can be confident your wedding budget is in experienced hands.
Whether you're searching for the perfect venue or planning a marquee wedding in your family garden, I'll help you find a space that works for your celebration. For outdoor weddings, I'll assess the site practicalities, including access, infrastructure, layout and wet-weather plans, making sure your blank canvas becomes a beautiful, fully functioning wedding venue.
I'll help you find the perfect team of suppliers to bring your wedding plans to life, recommending trusted professionals who suit your style, priorities and budget. From sourcing quotations and reviewing contracts to coordinating suppliers throughout the planning process, I'll make sure everything comes together seamlessly. I don't accept commission from suppliers, so you can be confident my recommendations are always based on what's best for you and your wedding.
I'll help you bring your wedding vision to life, creating a look and feel that reflects your personalities and the atmosphere you want for your day. From developing your overall design concept and colour palette to sourcing styling details and coordinating with your florist and other creative suppliers, I'll make sure everything comes together beautifully. Whether you're dreaming of relaxed garden party vibes or something a little more spectacular, we'll create a celebration that feels completely you.
I can help you organise your guest list, manage RSVPs, send invitations on your behalf, and keep track of responses. I’ll also liaise with suppliers about dietary requirements, accommodation details and any guest-specific needs — so nothing slips through the cracks.
Ahead of your wedding, I’ll confirm all supplier arrangements and make sure everyone knows exactly what’s happening, when and where.
You’ll receive a detailed wedding day schedule, shared with all key suppliers, so everyone is working from the same calm, clear plan.
I'll be there the day before your wedding to help oversee the set-up, coordinate suppliers and make sure everything is coming together beautifully. For marquee and tipi weddings, I'll also oversee the site build, managing the logistics and keeping everything on track. On your wedding day, you'll have a minimum two-person team, including me and an experienced assistant, overseeing suppliers, managing the schedule and keeping everything running smoothly. For larger or more complex weddings, additional team members can be arranged as needed. Leaving you free to relax, mingle and party!
And the support doesn't stop when the party ends! I'll also oversee the post-wedding tidy-up and de-rig, coordinating supplier collections and making sure everything is wrapped up properly.
Marquee, tipi and private garden weddings are my speciality. Unlike a traditional wedding venue, there’s no ready-made infrastructure or team behind the scenes. Everything needs to be planned, sourced and brought together from scratch.
From the first site visit to the final supplier collection, I know what it takes to transform an empty space into a wedding venue that really works.
And with years of experience planning weddings across the UK, I’ll make sure all those practical details are taken care of, leaving you free to enjoy a relaxed, unforgettable celebration that’s full of energy and personality.
My Full Wedding Planning package starts from £6,000, with fees typically calculated at 10–15% of your overall wedding budget, subject to this minimum and depending on the scale and complexity of your celebration.
Every wedding is different, so I’ll put together a bespoke proposal based on your plans and the level of support required.
She worked incredibly hard, was a great source of advice/support and it was fantastic to have her on the day for coordination of the wedding from beginning to end.[Linzi] helped spot miscalculations [in my quote for the venue] which helped with overall costs. She was very dedicated and totally professional throughout our time working together, I would fully recommend her support and services without a doubt - having her on board made the whole experience significantly less stressful ... The day was enjoyed by all and I am sure without Linzi's presence it would have been a different story! Thank you Linzi!"
"Downtown Abbey meets Glastonbury" festival—and Linzi pulled off every single, crazy detail perfectly. She made our wildest ideas reality, kept us on track despite constant additions, and remained flawlessly calm through the entire planning and execution. Logistical genius ... a miracle worker ... Linzi took a complex, high-energy, detail-heavy wedding and executed it flawlessly. She is professional, creative, and completely indispensable- but importantly absolutely lovely ! We couldn't recommend her highly enough!
Having the full wedding planning package was truly a lifesaver for us. From start to finish, Linzi was a constant source of support and calm, expertly guiding us through every step of the process. Being overseas during the planning process could have been a logistical nightmare, but Linzi made it so easy. She managed site visits on our behalf, provided regular updates, and kept us in the loop every step of the way. Her communication was always timely and clear, making the distance feel like no issue at all. What should have been an overwhelming experience became an enjoyable one, thanks to her professionalism and warm approach.
