In Brief:
Annabel was called upon to help this fun loving couple plan then host a wedding in the lovely Silverholme. With Annabel’s experience of the site and the couple great plans and brilliant team in place, this was set to be memorable!
“I swear I am one step away from being lady of this Manor! I have learnt where things live, what works well,,, what doesn’t! When I first had a chat with Beth and James, I knew we were going to have a giggle! Being open and honest means the process is not just enjoyable and fun but productive. Every couple should have moments where they can rant / shout / laugh / cry as this can be a testing time. We don’t want it to be but be realistic, the people element can make this tricky. This wedding totally wasnt though! I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them all!! The setting was glorious, the team incredible and the guests were just a delight to spend time with! Well done to the couple for fab ideas, knowing such wonderful people and bringing together everything in style!”.
The couple booked WBA for an initial consultation then being there on the day to run the show. They then handed over the reins when Annabel sent the plan to every supplier. The day ran smoothly and created some epic memories for them all.
Testimonial:
“We hunted for a coordinator to take the pressure off managing various suppliers, making sure all timings were perfect, and the most important part of keeping us calm on our wedding day!
We found Annabel through a good search on Google. Once we had seen how many amazing reviews she had from people all over, we decided we had to get in touch!
We chose Annabel for our wedding once we had spoken with her for the first time, she gave us confidence that our wedding day would run smoothly having worked at the venue and with some of our suppliers before. Annabel’s personality is infectious and we just knew she’d make it a fun day!
The most difficult part of planning our wedding was ourselves trying to keep on top of contacting all of our suppliers, and trying to make sure they would all be timed correctly on the day!
Our key memories for the day are (Beth) - walking down the aisle. (Both of us) - having everyone we loved there with us, the undercover waiter, our band Boomin and everyone we know including us loved the catering from Karen Rhodes.
We truly wouldn’t have changed one thing on our special day.
This is not a clichè at all, but we really couldn’t have done the day without Annabel there. It goes beyond the organising with Annabel, she slotted in so perfectly, keeping us both calm throughout the whole day and making sure all the suppliers worked as one (there were a few). Neither of us thought at all about how the day was running and that is the biggest testament we can give Annabel.
Our advice to anyone else planning a DIY wedding would be to get in touch with a coordinator sooner rather than later, to take all your worries of the day away.
100%!!! We both have spoken a lot since the wedding about how amazing Annabel was on the day. Annabel’s calming yet funny personality is still talked about from our wedding party today. We both felt as though we’d known her for years! She truly was a breath of fresh air on the day and we just couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Thank you so much Annabel - legend!!” From Beth & James ( The Hunters) xxx
