wedding planner in the midlands for bold, vibrant, high-energy celebrations
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.
Here's what that means for you:
- I spot potential issues before they become problems, saving you money, stress and last-minute panic.
- My hospitality background means I know how to communicate effectively with suppliers.
- I prevent costly mistakes and secure fair pricing.
- Your wedding runs on time (one of my couple said I coordinated their day "to the second").
- You're not managing logistics on your wedding day, you're radiant, present, and celebrating.
- 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:
Depth over volume, you're not a number (I only take on 5 couples per year for my Full Planning Packages)
Collaborative planning built on connection, not transactions.
Hospitality expertise that creates effortless flow.
Weddings that look stunning and run flawlessly.

Your wedding day should feel like you
WEDDINGS THAT TURN UP THE VOLUME - BOLD, JOYFUL AND FULL OF CONNECTION
I specialise in weddings that look extraordinary and run effortlessly, making sure couples are present in their day, not managing it.
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.
“I can’t rate her high enough”
Naomi from Payton events. Where do I even start. You made everything about my wedding so easy and so stress free. Naomi helped plan and co-ordinate my destination wedding. She's worth her weight in Gold. THANK YOU so very much!

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.
I genuinely care. This isn't transactional. I want you to feel radiant, uplifted, on a cloud with everyone you love, lifted by energy that's unmatched. That only happens when I truly know you and your wedding is built around who you are.
I bring operational expertise. With 12+ years managing wedding catering and venues, I understand timing, flow, guest experience, and logistics intimately. I see problems before they surface and create contingency plans proactively.
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.
