day ourselves it was pointed out to me by a friend at work that on the day
itself we would need someone to 'manage' the celebrations. Initially I was
skeptical and was convinced such a person would not be required.
However, as we had decided to arrange our own marquee venue , caterers,
band etc I did suddenly ask myself ' do I want to be sorting out any issues
and delegate jobs on my wedding day?' The answer was no so I reluctantly
gave Julie a call !
I am delighted to say that I was 100% proved wrong and not only did our day
need Julie but it simply wouldn't have run so perfectly without her.
Everything and I mean everything behind the scenes was organised by her
from giving my Dad a lift in the morning back to the house when he was left
by the ushers at the marquee, being at the church to ensure the ushers were
doing their jobs , guests were getting on the buses in time after the
ceremony , ensuring last minute dietary issues were resolved , making sure
the band etc were fed to dashing to the supermarket to pick up more ice and
beer for the bar staff !
All of these things you may think don't need overseeing or that the last
minute hiccups won't happen at your wedding I can assure you they will and
the only way you will avoid people knowing about them is to employ a
wedding co-ordinator.
Julie was undoubtedly the unsung hero of our wedding day and deserves every
success / award Essentially You is presented with.
Well done and thank you
Annabel and David Finlay

Kind words form our cherished clients....
"Dear Julie, We just had to write and thank you for helping make our wedding such a fabulous day. We wanted everything to run perfectly, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere - and that is exactly what we got.
Your help and advice in the build up to our big day was greatly appreciated and we were particularly grateful for your assistance with the chair sashes and the table decorations. We always felt that we were in good hands and this of course helped to keep us all "stress free" in the run up to the 20th. It was a real bonus to have someone who knew the hotel so well and could act as a go - between for us.
The day itself was absolutely perfect. Everything from the ceremony, flowers and photographs, through to the wedding breakfast, cake and evening entertainment ran like clockwork. It was only after the event, when we had time to relax and reflect on a wonderful day, that we realised just how many suppliers and contacts of yours we had used. All of them were an excellent standard and helped add to our experience. We would no hesitate to recommend any of them.
A real highlight for us was that the tables had been laid out for our wedding breakfast. When we entered the Kennet Suite we were moved to tears when we saw how everything looked. The arrangement over the fireplace, in memory of our late parents and brother, was really touching. Of course, the ribbons on the serviettes were magnificent - please thank whoever did those!
Thank you so much Julie, Best Wishes, David and Vivienne Salisbury"

Just a quick note to say a huge thank you from Rob and I for everything you did on Saturday.
The whole thing went off without a hitch and the room looked beautiful when we arrived - better than I could have hoped! Wish I'd taken extra tealights with me though, as they started to burn out and the room got a bit dark towards the end!! Jo x"

"Julie was more than amazing on our wedding day. She made my life and our wedding day so much easier. The way she handled things was flawless, she dealt with any and all queries promptly and took away all stress from me. She introduced the speeches beautifully and Mark and I are so grateful to you and her. All in all I don't think I can recommend her highly or vocally enough to all and sundry! I also loved the personal touches, that came from Julie herself, she wrote me the most sweet letter and tidied our manic suite and made the place look romantic, with petals on the bed even! I think I fell asleep with them still on the cover!" Sam Sinclair
"Julie, I would just like to say thank you very much for being our wedding co-coordinator. You really made our wedding day very special. You also made our venue look fantastic. The tables looked amazing; you had gone to so much effort to make everything perfect. You organised all the waiters at so they knew what they had to do and when which took so much pressure of me. You were extremely supportive leading up to the wedding you took all the stress away from myself and mum! Nothing was too much trouble; you were always there at the end of the phone. I think it’s very important for the bride to be as calm as possible and you definitely made me feel calm. My guest’s thought you did a fantastic job, everyone thought you were extremely professional. I would definitely recommend your services to my family and friends. Good luck for the future” Emily Clark
"Dear Julie, thank you for all your help and support. We had a fantastic day." Steve and Karen
"Dear Julie. I hope you are well. We wanted to write to say a huge thank you for all your help in the run up to our wedding day and for all your hard work on the day itself. We had such a fabulous day and have hardly stopped talking about it! Everything went seamlessly-it was all exactly as we had hoped and planned. Thank you for helping to give us so many precious memories, love Katherine and Richard"
"My dear Julie, I was so sorry not to see you at the end of the day on Kirstens & Marks wedding to say my thank you in person. You were an absolute star and saved my sanity on more than one occasion. You have exactly the right approach for dealing with a harassed “mother of the bride” especially one trying to do ‘one more thing’ on the day. I am so grateful and wanted you to know just how much I appreciated everything you did. The whole day had a magical feel to it both for us and our guests and everyone has such happy memories. We will certainly recommend you to our friends! With every good wish Dorothy"
"Dear Jules We have just returned from our honeymoon, and would like to thank you so so much for all of your help, support and hard work during our wedding day that made it as special as it was. Many of our guest have told us that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to, and this is thanks to you. We had the best day of our life!
Your super knowledge and understanding was reassuring when things didn't quite go to plan, and you were always there when we needed to ask something.
Thank you!
We will definitely be recommending you to our friend who are tying the knot! Once again, Thank-you! Laura & Mark Stewart"
"Hi Julie, Just had to let you know how pleased Christine and I are with the way you handled everything for us last Saturday.Laura and Mark are off on honeymoon now, but I am sure she will be in touch with you on their return.
As Father-of-the-Bride, I had left most of the organising to Laura as it was her special day and I wanted her to have it all the way she wanted.
I am delighted she chose you as you did such a wonderful job with such care and attention - you made the day go so well. Thanks for your help with the portrait of Ruby as well, I think it went down well.
So, a big thank you from Christine and I for making the most important day in the Millman family so fabulous and special and more than anything - hassle-free. We will recommend your services to anyone we know has a wedding to plan.
All the very best to you,
Regards,Christine & Brian Millman"
