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 Cotswolds couples who care as much about their guests' experience as their own
Where their guests are staying. How they're getting there from Evesham or the nearest village. What's waiting for them on arrival at a private estate or manor house. Lauren's couples notice the detail, because to them, a Cotswolds wedding is about the whole weekend, for everyone in it.
They're not looking to plan logistics, source suppliers, or manage a marquee build themselves. Just to be consulted on what matters. The rest, from venue access to guest transport, they entrust to Lauren, so they're fully present the moment their guests arrive.

The Cotswolds has an exceptional collection of wedding venues, and Lauren knows the best of them well. From historic castles to intimate private manor houses, the region's settings draw couples who understand that a truly memorable wedding is as much about how it feels as how it looks.
Honey-stone manor houses with private grounds, a castle with an orangery fit for 150, and intimate estates where the whole house is yours for the weekend. Lauren works primarily across the northern villages — Broadway, Chipping Campden, Winchcombe — and knows the venues in this part of the region well.
Lauren oversees every stage of the process, from full wedding planning and partial planning through to on-the-day coordination, handling early supplier sourcing, full marquee builds, and guest experience right through to delivery on the day itself.
who this is for
Weddings that are effortless to experience. Yet considerably less so to deliver.
That's the standard we hold ourselves to: serene on the surface, seamlessly run beneath it.
A Cotswolds wedding can be both beautiful and beautifully run, but rarely by accident. Sourcing, catering, venue dressing, tenting, contingency planning, and the choreography of a dozen suppliers arriving in the right order. A great deal happens beneath the surface to deliver the moments you remember and the photographs that capture them.
Lauren's weddings hold both at once. Suppliers arrive briefed and prepared, never chasing for information they should already have. Timelines are honoured, not improvised. And if anything does go awry, it's resolved quietly, well out of view, while the day continues exactly as designed.
"You've been a dream to work with." — Foxhill Manor

Lauren's story
“The Cotswolds is calm, it's pretty, it's high-end, it's classy. That's the drawcard, in my opinion."
There's a sense of serenity about it that really suits busy couples and their guests who want to retreat from London's hustle to slow down and enjoy the weekend. That's what makes it a strong wedding destination for my couples both here and abroad.
— Lauren
Some of the most considered weddings in the Cotswolds aren't held in venues at all. They're held on private grounds — where the setting is chosen first, and everything else is created around it. The marquee, the catering, the flow of the weekend, the welcome your guests receive at the door: all of it designed from scratch, entirely to your specification.
This is where Lauren's expertise as a specialist marquee wedding planner comes into its own. A Sperry tent on manicured grounds. Festoon lighting, a Friday dinner that feels like a family gathering, a ceremony on the lawn, and every detail considered. Estates like Coombe End Manor — with its pool, sweeping grounds, and space for a marquee that does the setting justice — are perfect for this kind of celebration. For couples who appreciate beautiful things, and want every moment of the weekend to be entirely their own.

ASKED
QUESTIONS
Q. how many weddings do you take on per year?
A small number, by design. This level of wedding planning requires complete focus. I won't take on more than I can deliver to the standard my couples expect.
Q. How far in advance should we book?
The Cotswolds' proximity to London means that venues and suppliers here book up considerably faster than in other regions. If you have a venue or date in mind, I'd recommend getting in touch as early as possible. Popular dates at the best venues can go up to two years in advance.
Q. Do you work with local cotswolds suppliers?
Yes, I have an established network of trusted Cotswolds wedding suppliers and suppliers nearby to the Cotswolds. From caterers and florists to photographers, videographers, celebrants, bar teams and transport providers. Every supplier is chosen based on their experience and track record at this level.
Q. Which Cotswolds venues do you work with?
I have direct experience at Foxhill Manor on the Farncombe Estate and Sudeley Castle, and I've spent time at a number of other Cotswolds venues including Coombe End Manor, Eastington Park, Crowley Manor, Elmore Court, Kin House, and Cornwall Manor. If you have a specific venue in mind, get in touch.
Q. what's different about planning a cotswolds wedding?
Many venues in the Cotswolds require consideration and planning around access. Some of the most beautiful properties have constraints around coach sizes and road access that need planning well in advance. Accommodation logistics matter more here than in most regions, because the gap between venue and large-scale guest hotels often means transport is a structural part of the weekend. And supplier availability moves quickly. These are all things I plan for from the outset.
Q. are you based in cheshire?
I live in Cheshire, but I'm regularly planning from the Cotswolds. The couples who choose me over a local planner consistently say it's because of the care I bring to every detail, that nothing is ever too much, and my calm expertise. Venues I work with in the Cotswolds recommend me directly, which is probably the best answer to this question I can offer.

Marquee wedding suppliers are shortlisted based on experience, knowledge of venue, and demonstrated ability to deliver the kind of wedding you're looking for.
