Service tiers
Five ways to work together
Full Planning
Complete planning, start to finish
The most comprehensive service. Lady Katharine becomes your lead planner from the moment you make an enquiry — setting the vision, establishing and tracking the budget, researching and recommending venues, building the entire supplier team, reviewing all contracts, managing communication, overseeing design decisions, and coordinating everything on the day and any events around it.
Full planning is suited to couples who want to be involved in all decisions but not in the mechanics that make those decisions possible. It is also the natural choice for any wedding with significant complexity: large guest counts, private-hire venues with no in-house catering, marquee events, multi-day celebrations, or weddings that involve bringing together families and guests from several different countries.
- Unlimited meetings and calls throughout the planning period
- Full budget management and supplier procurement
- Contract review and negotiation on your behalf
- Design and styling direction, from palette to table plan
- Full day-of coordination including rehearsal and supplier management
- Post-wedding supplier follow-up and final accounting
Partial Planning
Support where it matters most
For couples who have made a start (perhaps the venue is booked and the key suppliers are in mind) but who need an experienced hand to complete the picture, check what they have agreed, fill the gaps, and take the load off as the day approaches. Partial planning typically begins four to six months before the wedding.
Lady Katharine reviews everything already in place, identifies what still needs to be secured, and handles the remaining logistics. If any supplier arrangements need to be clarified or renegotiated, that is done carefully. The result is a complete, coherent plan rather than a collection of bookings that have never been properly cross-referenced.
- Review of all existing bookings and contracts
- Completion of the supplier team from the agreed shortlist
- Detailed timeline and logistics document for all parties
- Regular planning calls in the months before the wedding
- Full day-of coordination
On-the-Day Coordination
A calm hand on the day itself
You have done all the planning. The suppliers are booked, the details are decided, and you know the day you want. What you need is someone to make sure it actually happens — someone who can receive deliveries, manage the schedule, handle the unexpected, and make sure every supplier delivers what was agreed without you having to think about any of it.
On-the-day coordination typically begins four weeks before the wedding, with a full handover of all existing plans, a venue walkthrough, and direct contact with every supplier. By the time the day arrives, Lady Katharine knows the plan as well as you do.
- Full handover of all plans and supplier contacts four weeks prior
- Venue walkthrough and final supplier confirmations
- Creation of a detailed master timeline shared with all parties
- Full presence on the wedding day from supplier set-up to end of evening
- Single point of contact for all suppliers throughout the day
Design & Styling
A coherent visual language for your wedding
The look and feel of a wedding. The palette, the mood of the lighting, the relationship between the florals and the table settings, the weight of the stationery, the dressing of the ceremony space. These are not afterthoughts. They are the things guests remember and the things that make a wedding feel like itself rather than like a generic occasion.
Design and styling can be commissioned as a standalone service or combined with any planning tier. Lady Katharine works closely with your chosen florist and suppliers, or can bring in trusted collaborators where needed. The output is a clear design brief that every supplier can work from, producing a day that looks considered from every angle.
- Colour palette and mood board development
- Floral brief and direction for your florist
- Lighting concept and specification
- Table settings, linen and decorative styling
- Ceremony and reception space styling
- Stationery direction and coordination
Destination & Marquee
For the most complex occasions
Some weddings require a qualitatively different level of planning. A marquee event on a private estate involves building a venue from scratch (power, water, flooring, catering infrastructure, lighting, heating, sanitation) on top of all the usual supplier chain. A destination wedding involves managing logistics across jurisdictions, language barriers, and local legal requirements, often for guests travelling from multiple countries.
Lady Katharine has experience with both. These events require full planning involvement from very early on, usually twelve months or more before the date. If this is the kind of wedding you are imagining, get in touch early — not because there is any panic, but because lead time is the single most useful resource in making it go smoothly.
- Full infrastructure planning for marquee and non-venue events
- Destination logistics: legal requirements, local supplier network, travel coordination
- Guest management and communication across time zones
- Multi-day event planning: welcome evening, day-after gatherings
- On-the-ground coordination for overseas events
