…Meet Naomi

Originally from Surrey, now calling vibrant Birmingham home, I bring clarity, calm, and positive energy to every wedding I plan. I'm naturally drawn to making sense of chaos, cutting through overwhelm, and ensuring no detail gets overlooked.

Think of me as your wedding planning guide: anticipating challenges, steering decisions, and making sure your bold vision becomes an unforgettable reality. Most importantly, I truly care about you, your people, and how your day feels.

I'm Naomi, founder of Payton Events, an expert organiser, logistics enthusiast and the kind of wedding planner who genuinely loves a well-built timeline and a wedding day that flows seamlessly so you are free to celebrate.

L&A

From Family Catering Business to Wedding Planning Mastery

My dedication to hospitality started early, at 14, working in my family's wedding catering business. After gaining a degree in Hospitality Business Management, I've now spent 12+ years managing wedding venues, coordinating celebrations, and overseeing all catering operations.

Here's what that means for you:

I don't just plan weddings, I understand how they run. From behind-the-scenes logistics to guest experience at the table, I know how every moving part needs to work together to create a seamless, show-stopping day.

My approach is warm, confident, and proactive. My background in hospitality, combined with expert knowledge in wedding catering, drinks, and event execution, means I create food-focused, Champagne-fueled, bold celebrations that truly reflect who you are.

If you want a UK wide wedding planner who understands the operational side of celebrations - timings, logistics, guest flow, and ensuring everyone is well-fed with drinks flowing, you've found the right person.

Here’s how i make your life easier

I strongly believe wedding planning shouldn't consume your life. I am here to take the weight so you don’t have to.

I create detailed, minute-by-minute timelines that account for your venue size, your supplier needs, and realistic timing on your wedding day. Your day flows seamlessly because every moment is planned with precision.

I communicate with your suppliers so you can continue to live your life & enjoy your weekends. One conversation with me means all your suppliers receive the information they need. You won’t have to explain your vision multiple times to different people. If any of your suppliers have questions or require clarification, then I will handle it.

I manage your budget so you don't overspend tracking every penny, ensuring there are no hidden costs and making sure you're receiving fair pricing.

I solve problems before you know they exist. I’ll adjust timings on the day if required before it affects you and your guests. There will always be a backup plan in motion so you remain blissfully present while I handle everything behind the scenes.
