Full Wedding Planning
Wedding planning across London, Essex, the Home Counties and wider England
Planning a wedding is exciting, but it is also time-consuming, detailed and full of decisions. With full planning, I take care of everything from the very start. Venues, suppliers, logistics, timelines and all the moving parts that can easily become overwhelming. You still make the choices. I simply guide, organise and manage everything so it runs beautifully.

Investment
Full wedding planning is typically 10–12% of your overall wedding budget,
with a minimum investment of £7,000 for a single-day celebration.
Every wedding is different, so we’ll agree the exact level of support once we understand your plans.

Priya & Mark
Everything came together perfectly on the day, beautifully choreographed, and exactly how we wanted it - all thanks to Sian. Throughout the journey, Sian dealt with us as friends rather than clients, because that’s how she is with everyone.

Why couples choose BusyBrides for full planning
Full planning isn’t just booking suppliers. It’s about protecting your time, your budget and your sanity. With more than 150 weddings planned, I know how to build a reliable supplier team, avoid common pitfalls and keep everything on track. I’m calm, honest and practical. You will always know what’s happening, what’s needed next and what I’m taking care of for you.
If you’re not sure whether you need full planning, you may also want to look at our partial planning or on-the-day coordination services.

FAQs
Do you take over completely, or do we still have involvement?
You always make the final decision. My role is to research, advise, organise and manage everything so those decisions are easier and the planning runs smoothly.
How far in advance should we book full planning?
Most couples book 12-24 months in advance. If your date is sooner, please still ask. I have planned weddings in as little as six weeks.
Do you work with our suppliers or only your own?
I'm happy to work with trusted suppliers that you have already chosen. I can also recommend professionals I know personally deliver excellent results.
If you are ready to chat through your plans and see whether we're the right fit, you can book a virtual coffee or email me directly.
