Collaborative Wedding Planning. Creating immersive weddings where personality meets precision

I plan weddings for couples who want their celebration to scream who they are. With over 12 years managing wedding catering and venue operations across the Midlands, I bring operational mastery, genuine warmth, and a collaborative approach to creating celebrations that look extraordinary, run seamlessly, and feel undeniably you.

From Birmingham to Shropshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire and beyond, I work with modern, bold couples who want weddings that radiate authenticity, flow effortlessly, and bring everyone together with electric energy.

What sets me apart

Wedding Planning that’s collaborative, bold & built on experience

I'm Naomi, founder of Payton Events, a Midlands wedding planner specialising in vibrant, personality-driven celebrations. What makes me different? I don't just plan weddings for you, I plan them with you.

With 12+ years in wedding catering management and venue operations, I understand how celebrations actually work. I see what needs doing before it needs doing. I spot issues before they become problems. I create seamless timelines that keep you on a cloud, radiant, uplifted, and free to celebrate with everyone you love.

The weddings I plan are bold, atmospheric, and deeply personal. Exceptional food and drink, intentional design, music that sets the tone, and thoughtful logistics working together so you can be fully present. From outdoor ceremonies and marquee celebrations to chic urban venues with a serious party atmosphere, I create weddings that feel like you in every sense.

What You Get:

Only 5 couples per year on Full Planning Package (depth over volume, you're not a number). Collaborative planning built on connection, not transactions.
Hospitality expertise that creates effortless flow.
Weddings that look stunning and run flawlessly.

NAOMI WAS PHENOMENAL

NAOMI WAS PHENOMENAL ✤

A woman and a man posing at a celebration table with a cake, French fries, and glasses of pink wine, in front of a wall decorated with license plates. The woman is making a peace sign and wearing white cat-eye sunglasses, while the man is wearing purple sunglasses and a cowboy hat, dressed in white. They seem to be enjoying themselves in a fun, retro-themed setting.

Your wedding day should feel like you

WEDDINGS THAT TURN UP THE VOLUME - BOLD, JOYFUL AND FULL OF CONNECTION

Your wedding should feel like you've turned the volume up all the way, yet still relaxed, joyful, and full of connection. The kind of day where your favourite people walk in, feel the energy instantly, and think "this is so them."

I work with couples who show up exactly as they are: laughing loudly, celebrating freely, eating and drinking well. Weddings that are show-stopping without being stiff. Refined but never boring. Celebrations that bring people together, spark genuine connection, and end with full hearts and tired feet.

Whether you're dreaming of statement florals in a countryside marquee or moody elegance at an industrial venue with non-stop dancing, I'm here to create a wedding that radiates who you are, not just how it looked, but how it felt.

HOW I WORK DIFFERENTLY :

PLANNING YOUR WEDDING WITH YOU, NOT JUST FOR YOU

I plan weddings collaboratively, building genuine relationships through intentional connection moments: dinner as our first meeting, coffee dates throughout planning, making decisions together, and "Flow & Feel" venue visits where we walk through how your day will actually unfold.

You're the co-pilot in your own celebration, fully involved, fully aware of where we're headed, steering alongside me. Not a vacant passenger, but an active participant in creating something that's undeniably, authentically you.

This approach takes time, care, and emotional energy, which is why I only work with 5 couples per year for full planning. You deserve my complete attention, presence, and expertise.

What My Couples Say:

"It felt like you were a friend on the morning of our wedding."
"Naomi's attention to detail and ability to stay one step ahead was genuinely remarkable."
"She handled everything with grace and confidence, we were able to relax and be fully present."

    She was absolutely superb when planning our special day and it was clear from the early stages through to the execution of the wedding day itself that she had so much experience to draw from and helped inspire so much of the day.

    Naomi was excellent from start to finish! In the build up to the day, Naomi was there for everything we needed, answering our questions and going so far as to calculate our table settings on her own table in her own home whilst we were stressing about it, instantly putting our minds at ease. Couldn’t recommend her enough! S&H
