I’m Naomi—an ace organiser, logistics queen, and the kind of wedding planner who thrives on lists, timelines, and making things happen. A Surrey native now loving life in vibrant Birmingham.

With years of experience as a wedding catering manager and venue expert, I don’t just plan weddings—I bring them to life with enthusiasm and a ‘let’s get shit done’ attitude.

I’m naturally drawn to making sense of the wedding chaos, keeping things on track, and ensuring no detail is ever missed. Think of me as your wedding planning sat-nav—guiding you through every decision, cutting through the overwhelm, and making sure your show-stopper vision becomes an explosive reality.

But most importantly as your wedding planner & biggest cheerleader, I truly care. You and your guests are everything to me

(Oh, and I have an unhealthy addiction to Frank’s Buffalo Hot Sauce—because in my opinion it belongs on everything.)

My Story in Weddings

I started working in the wedding industry at the age of 14 for my mums wedding catering business and I never left.

With a lifelong dedication to hospitality, events, and weddings, I bring over 12 years of hands-on experience managing wedding venues, catering operations, and running seamless events.

I’ve handled everything from high-pressure logistics to last-minute crises, always delivering with kindness, passion, and a “get it done” mentality.

My background in hospitality, combined with expert knowledge in wedding catering, drinks, and event execution, means I don’t just plan weddings— I help to bring you a food fest, Champagne fuelled, bold, show-stopping celebration that truly reflects you.

If you want someone who truly knows the ins and outs of weddings & catering from timings and logistics to ensuring every guest is well-fed and the cocktails are flowing, I’m your wedding planner.

When it comes to life [and weddings!] my ethos is all about having fun whilst embracing kindness & loyalty. Finding the right wedding planner for you is so IMPORTANT, so if you can you relate to any of my values, we are going to get along - fun, determined, loyal, caring, imperfect, encouraging and above all else kind.

“Having personally worked with Naomi on over 30 Weddings, I know what an excellent wedding planner she is.
Naomi is thorough in her planning, knowledgable about weddings and what works. She is always welcoming, approachable and ensures everything runs meticulously on the day.” (Kate Gale - Greek Wedding Collection)

My Approach to Wedding Planning

This is not just a job but my purpose

  • As your wedding planner & coordinator, I am here for you and only you. This is not a business for me but a life’s passion becoming a reality. My goal is to make others happy, its that simple.

  • I’m a natural leader, a problem solver, and the person you want in your corner to make sure every detail is flawless on your wedding day.

  • When it comes to your wedding day, my positivity, understanding, kindness and genuine care will shine through with warmth.

  • I will answer all your questions with honesty, guiding you through the different stages offering constant support.

  • I allow you to continue to do what you love whilst I meticulous take over behind the scenes, but all with you in the driver seat. We will work together.

  • I have always been extremely hands on, never asking my team to do something I wouldn't do. I’ll clear glasses, wipe tables, mop floors - getting stuck in is in my nature.

  • I will be your biggest cheerleader. Get to know me over a glass of your favourite drink so we can brainstorm together and see if we fit.

Do you want your guests to rave about each and every part of your wedding day?

That’s what I will achieve for you!
