Luxury Wedding & Event Planner · Gloucestershire & Oxfordshire
Wedding Planner in
The Cotswolds
Honey-stone villages, rolling hills and some of the most coveted wedding venues in the country — the Cotswolds is a setting unlike any other, and a region we know intimately.
As a Gloucestershire-based luxury wedding and event planner, the Cotswolds is our home turf. We have walked the gardens at Daylesford, dined under the stars at Soho Farmhouse, and worked with the teams at Cornwell Manor, Thyme, and Lords of the Manor. Every venue has its own quirks, suppliers, and rhythms — and that local knowledge is the difference between a good wedding and a flawless one.
We plan luxury weddings, milestone birthdays, and private celebrations across the Cotswolds — from intimate elopements at private estates to 200-guest summer marquees in country gardens. Our work blends timeless English style with editorial detail: layered florals, candlelit tablescapes, and bespoke menus that celebrate the region's incredible produce.
Whether you are bringing guests in from London, hosting an international destination wedding, or planning a private dinner for forty in a hidden barn, we are here to make it effortless — and unforgettable.
Practical planning in Cotswolds
Historic villages and rural lanes can make guest transport and supplier deliveries more involved. Agree coach drop-off points with your venue, check access for catering vehicles and plan where guests will stay before sending invitations.
Alongside weddings, explore our private celebration planning and corporate event management. Book a free consultation to discuss the setting and support that suit your event.
