This lady knows how to organise to the finest detail. Makes the entire process stress free and is creative and meticulous making sure it is to your liking. She did the decor for my 30th birthday party, making an exceptional cake and sweets table and put finishing touches to the venue. I've also worked with her at my best friends wedding, she took complete control on the day and ensured everything went to plan. Get in touch if you want to organise an event - she's your lady!!

Choosing Natasha to help plan our wedding was the single greatest gift we could ever have given ourselves. So many of our guests commented not only on how amazing the day was, but on how calm and relaxed we were throughout, and the praise for both is owed entirely to Natasha. Throughout the planning process, she remained undaunted by any request or hurdle that arose and was always able to provide the ideal solution. The day itself ran beautifully; with Natasha at the helm we were able to just enjoy ourselves. Each and every vendor she recommended was also an absolute pleasure to work with and similarly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was a magical occasion.We will forever be grateful we found Natasha and can’t imagine how we would have coped without her. Not only a brilliantly organised wedding planner, but a skilled diplomat, master of family relations, negotiator, peace-keeper, and most notably of all, a truly lovely person.Mr & Mrs Charles-Lewis More...

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
Good music is always something that keeps people on the dance floor, so always ensure you hire a DJ that is versatile and can entertain the crowd they are playing for.
If you have great company who enjoy a little boogie dancing into the wee hours of the morning is just standard, ensure you have some flip flops at the ready for those wanting to get out of wearing heels.
How would you describe your ‘style’?
I'm really eclectic as my style may vary from day to day. Basically I like anything that looks nice wether it be simple or ostentatious. The one thing I can guarantee is that I'm a stickler for symmetry and love things to match it just makes life easier.
What do you love most about your job?
I love the fact that no two weddings or events are ever the same so my job is never boring.
What inspired you to start your own business?
At the age of 19 I was given the task of planning my bosses wedding, the thing is I only had a month to do it so with the yellow pages in one hand and the Thomson local in the other I began my task. It wasn't easy but I enjoyed every bit of of. On the day itself there were a few hiccups but nothing noticeable. I felt a real sense of pride that I managed to make a couple and their guests really happy.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm not your "typical" planner I don't have set hours, I'm available to help by text, phone call or email, I attend dress fittings, supplier meetings and literally act like your event PA giving quality advice, hints and tips. I'm creative , logical thinking with a methodical approach. My aim is to ensure my clients are 100% stress free so they can sit back, relax and enjoy.
Guest List Management
Guest lists can be a huge and daunting task, especially chasing people who have not responded. After a consultation to gather all the guest information I need, I will organise the invitation list, set up an online system for your guests to RSVP, log RSVP’s and any special requirements of your guests and chase up any late RSVP’s on your behalf.
The Guest List Management service can save you a considerable amount of time and stress, knowing that I am dealing with the majority of guest questions regarding accommodation, gift list, transport and venue directions.

Finding the perfect venue for your wedding can be very overwhelming especially if you haven't got a venue in mind.

Supplier Search
Finding the right supplier to suit you is like finding a needle in a haystack. There are so many different suppliers offering the same service, but at different costs and styles.
