For couples planning refined, highly considered weddings at Cheshire’s finest venues and luxury marquees on private estates.
CHESHIRE WEDDING PLANNER
PLANNING WEDDINGS ACROSS CHESHIRE AND THE UK
Cheshire is a standout wedding destination. The venues are exceptional, the scenery is beautiful, suppliers are of a high calibre, and the couples who marry here know exactly what they want.
Lauren Wright has been planning and delivering weddings in Cheshire for over a decade.
At country estates, private homes, and marquee settings across the county. She understands the kind of weddings Cheshire attracts, the suppliers who deliver at this standard, and the level of planning required to bring them together properly.
If you’re a busy professional who isn’t looking to DIY your wedding or spend your weekends managing logistics, and you want a wedding that’s beautiful, considered, and entirely your own, this is the kind of planning that makes that possible.
A marquee wedding means creating infrastructure, the flow, and the experience from the ground up. There's no in-house team. No built-in power, flooring, or catering setup. So every decision has to be considered as part of one complete picture.
When that's overseen by the right person, the result is a celebration that feels entirely, unmistakably, yours.

The DETAILS
the process
Every supplier is clearly briefed. Every timeline is carefully managed. Every decision that needed to be made in advance has already been handled. So when the day arrives, you can stay fully present and in the moment.
the approach
Elevated weddings, led with confidence and care
Cheshire weddings at this level aren’t just well-styled, they’re well-run. Your guest experience is considered at every point, from the welcome through to the final farewell. Suppliers are the right ones for your brief, not simply the most available. And the day runs with a clarity that only comes from proper planning and experienced direction.
The weddings Lauren plans in Cheshire typically start from £60,000. These are multi-day celebrations across multiple spaces, or private marquee weddings on family estates, where detail runs all the way through. Personalised gifts in guest accommodation, handwritten welcome cards, and other meaningful touches your guests remember long after the day itself.
who this is for
From the first conversation to the final farewell, Lauren leads your wedding throughout
Every supplier is clearly briefed. Every timeline is in hand. Every decision that needed to be made in advance has already been made, and Lauren is on-site for your entire wedding to handle any eventuality. So that you’re fully present to experience every moment of it.
A private home, a family estate, or a place of real personal significance or perhaps even somewhere never used as a wedding venue before. A distinctive design. A clear vision. What you need is the expertise, oversight and wedding management to bring it all together seamlessly.
THE PROCESS
We discuss your vision, the location and site, guest numbers, and what you need from a planner. If we're the right fit, I'll send a personalised proposal.
01
Planning, sourcing and full preparation
BEFORE THE WEDDING
Venue and supplier sourcing, design concept, budget management, timelines, supplier meetings and pre-wedding coordination — all completed well before your day.
From location and marquee sourcing to supplier briefings, design concept, budget management, and build scheduling, I own every element of the plan.
02
Single point of contact across every moving part
the wedding day
Lauren manages suppliers, timings, logistics and every decision on the day. Announcements, toastmaster duties, and full on-site direction from first arrival to final farewell.
I'm on site from the first supplier's arrival to the final hours of the evening. The team fully briefed, timeline managed and every decision handled.
03
the wedding day itself
A considered close to the celebration
AFTER THE WEDDING
For marquee weddings, Lauren oversees the take-down and site clearance — so you and your family aren’t left managing the end of your own wedding weekend.
For couples who know exactly what they want, and want it delivered without compromise
Lauren’s couples are typically busy professionals, hosting at private family homes, country estates, or exclusive-use venues. Full lives, demanding careers, and a clear sense of what they want from their wedding, without being pulled into the operational detail of making it happen.
The couples Lauren works with aren't looking to be involved in every decision. They want to be consulted on what matters, confident that everything else is in hand, and entirely present when the day arrives.
Unsure which marquee is right for your site? That's one of the first decisions we'll explore together.
I'll also handle key decisions around groundworks, power and generator setup, drainage, flooring, catering tent placement, and manage the build sequence across all suppliers on site.

Cheshire’s finest settings, planned and delivered with expertise
CHESHIRE WEDDING VENUES
Cheshire is home to some of the UK’s most sought-after wedding venues, from historic estates and exclusive-use castles to private homes where every element is built entirely from the ground up.
Lauren has planned and delivered weddings across a range of celebrated settings, including Arley Hall & Gardens, Peckforton Castle, and Old Palace Chester. As well as on many private family estates throughout the Cheshire countryside. Her familiarity with these environments brings a level of calm, operational understanding and supplier coordination that only comes from genuine on-the-ground experience.
For marquee weddings and private home celebrations in locations such as Bollington, Bulkeley Grange and beyond, Lauren oversees every moving part from initial planning through to full build, delivery and take down.
who this is for
Private home and estate marquee weddings — a Cheshire speciality
Some of the most memorable weddings Lauren has delivered in Cheshire have been at private homes and family estates — where the marquee is built on the lawn, the ceremony is held under an old tree, and the setting means something real to you and your guests.
Marquee weddings at private Cheshire estates require a different level of planning. From structure selection and groundworks through to power, catering logistics, build schedules and full on-site management. Lauren works regularly with trusted Cheshire marquee suppliers, including Canvas Tent Co, Peak Marquee Hire, Blank Canvas Tents & Events, and Light Tech Ltd.
A private home, a family estate, or a place of real personal significance or perhaps even somewhere never used as a wedding venue before. A distinctive design. A clear vision. What you need is the expertise, oversight and wedding management to bring it all together seamlessly.
“Thank you for trusting me and my team with your entire wedding planning at your gorgeous family home.”
— Lauren, to a couple who married at their family home in Cheshire

“I might be biased — based in Cheshire as I am — but the county really does have a superior offering."
The venues are outstanding, the suppliers are exceptional, and the settings available to couples, whether at a historic estate or a private family home, are difficult to match anywhere in the UK.
— Lauren
Cheshire is a popular wedding destination, and it’s easy to see why. Easily accessed from Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham, and bordering Shropshire and North Wales, the county offers an exceptional range of venues and settings for every kind of celebration.
Market towns like Tarporley — with its prominent independent high street — and the Michelin dining and historic architecture of Chester provide a strong backdrop for multi-day wedding celebrations. A collection of luxury hotels and spas makes guest accommodation straightforward, wherever your guests are travelling from.
The wedding supplier network in Cheshire reflects the standard of the county itself. Lauren works regularly with Cheshire-based event staff, front of house bartenders, waiting staff and private event caterers — as well as specialist suppliers for flowers, lighting, stationery, and entertainment — all selected for their experience with weddings at this level.
Whether you’re starting with a clear vision or don’t yet know where to begin, Lauren brings clarity to the process, with a sharp instinct for what works and how to pull it all together. From the first decisions through to the final moments of the day, you remain part of what matters, while the detail and coordination are managed seamlessly.
