Hi, I’m Elaine!
Welcome to my world of weddings! After nearly two decades of planning, styling, and coordinating weddings, I’ve realised that my true passion goes beyond just the logistics—it’s all about creating meaningful and unforgettable experiences for couples. Weddings have been my heart for over 20 years, and I genuinely love helping people bring their dream day to life, with all the magic, beauty, and joy that comes with it.
My journey in the wedding world started with a flair for interior design, which quickly transformed into a love for creative styling. I spent 13 years leasing/managing and styling a stunning countryside venue (the kind of place that feels like it’s straight out of a fairy tale!), where I wore so many hats, i was venue manager, wedding planner, creative stylist. boss, colleague and friend. It’s safe to say I lived and breathed weddings! The best part? Every celebration I helped bring to life was unique to the couple, and that’s what makes this industry so special to me.
Before I dove into weddings full-time, I worked as a Customer Service Manager at British Gas, where my passion for going above and beyond for clients really took shape. My focus has always been on delivering an exceptional experience, whether that’s through helping couples, venues, or suppliers. And let me tell you, when it comes to weddings, it’s all about creating moments that are as stress-free as possible—because this day should be pure magic, not a headache.
I’m also a proud mum of three amazing grown-up children, who have all grown into incredible adults that make me proud every single day. I’m married to my wonderful husband, who works harder than anyone I know, and though we don’t get as much time together as I’d like, we recently escaped for a weekend of walking through the forest (something we both love). One of my favorite things is chasing waterfalls—it was my big plan for this year, but like many of you, time slipped away. So, it’s at the top of my to-do list for next year!
Beyond weddings, I’m obsessed with the colours of autumn (though I could do without the rain!) and Sunday roasts are my ultimate comfort food. I also adore dancing, even if my body doesn’t always keep up like it used to. And Christmas? Oh, it’s my favorite time of year. My husband and I even got married on Christmas Eve—outdoors, under a canopy of fairy lights entwined in a beautiful tree. It was a picture-perfect day, and it’s those magical, personal touches that I bring to each wedding I work on.
Why do I do what I do? Because I want to make wedding planning easier for you. I want to take the stress away so you can focus on what truly matters—celebrating your love with the people closest to you. Weddings are such a joyful occasion, and they should be fun to plan! With my experience, I’m here to guide you through every step, sharing what I’ve learned along the way and making sure your wedding day feels like it’s completely yours.
Thanks for stopping by! I can’t wait to be part of your wedding journey.
All my love,
Elaine

T/A Elaine's Wedding Consultancy
We believe if you’re looking for an enthusiastic, motivated, professional and dedicated wedding planner then you will find all the above in Elaine.
When meeting for the first time Elaine set an excellent first impression. We immediately felt comfortable and at ease in her company: something we highly regarded. On the first of our many meetings we were asked to provide the details of how we wanted our wedding. Having never planned a receptions before, we solely relied on her judgment and advice. Elaine noted our preferences and used her experience and knowledge of the local area to recommend essential suppliers, all of whom also provided an exemplary service. Throughout the course of our preparation , she endeavoured to support us at all times, even individually contacting and meeting each of our suppliers in order to ensure that all parties concerned were fully co-ordinated.
From the moment we arrived for the reception at Elsham Hall, to the moment we left in the evening, we knew we could relax in the knowledge that Elaine was present throughout. Several of our guests commented on how clearly evident it was that the venue had been decorated by an individual, and with 100% attention to detail.
We would highly recommend Elaine as a wedding planner for all the reasons above, she beyond any doubt ensured we had a truly memorable day.
