Marquee wedding at a family home in the Cotswolds

It’s almost impossible to put into words how brilliant and invaluable Jane at Planned for Perfection was in the countdown to our daughter’s wedding. In the pressure cooker build-up to the big day, she was the calm counsel, with exceptional organisational skills and a meticulous minute-by-minute plan for the actual wedding day which filled us with total confidence and the space to focus on what was important. Sophie and I were able to relax and enjoy the wedding in a way that would not have been possible without Planned for Perfection and it was incredibly reassuring knowing that Sophie’s special day was in very safe hands. Thank you so much Jane and your team, you were absolutely outstanding!

Dear Jane,

Wow! Just decompressing from one of the most incredible weekends of our lives and undoubtedly the best and most spectacular wedding we have ever attended or been part of! We literally couldn’t have done it without you, so thank you so very much for helping to create such a precious, precious wedding day for our darling daughter and Matthew.

I’ve written a little testimonial, as other future brides need to know how awesome you are. Thank you again, it was fabulous!

Lots of love and best wishes

Marquee wedding at a family home in the Cotswolds

Jane is just the perfect combination of calm, professional and detailed delivered all with a smile. Nothing was too difficult, no matter how close to the wedding day it got.

Our dream wedding came together and despite the weather, Jane ensured that we still had the ceremony that we wanted. Her selection of suppliers based on our taste and needs were top class and reflect the level at which Jane operates at. The support given throughout was brilliant and meant we were able to focus our time on our house renovation, job and wedding without feeling overwhelmed. On the day itself, we didn’t worry about anything other than enjoying ourselves, knowing she was in full control.

Jane, thank you so very much for making our special day truly one that we will never forget.

Lots of love,

D&L

 

The Manor House at Castle Combe

Hi Jane,

Words cannot express how grateful we are for all your help and support. I still cannot believe how amazing and perfect the day was, so surreal still!

Having our family here in the UK and seeing them so happy and proud, just multiplied all of the emotions, the whole day still seems like a dream!

Thank you again for an unforgettable wedding day!

Lots of love,

Mrs H

 

The Manor House at Castle Combe

Jane and her team were amazing and made our special date at the Manor House in Castle Combe perfect in every way.

Jane is a person that will always make you feel at ease and supports you through the whole process leading up to the wedding and on the day itself .

I cannot recommend enough this company for any special occasion. Jane and her team of suppliers were amazing and they worked so well together - every one Jane that recommended was perfect. Thank you Jane for everything you have done for us and for helping me when needed, which was a lot of times!

Cotswold wedding at Kiftsgate gardens - Groom

My fiancée had spoken with Jane first and was seemingly convinced. Sceptical, I joined the following call and within 10 minutes, I was Team-Jane! 

With all the uncertainties of planning a wedding during a pandemic, Jane was clearly up for the challenge. At the start we didn’t realise just how much we would rely on her, yet after each month and each hurdle, she became our lifeline.

Our beautiful venue had hosted a limited number of weddings previously, so it was very much a blank canvas. While Jane provided us with brilliant vendor recommendations, she was very open to move forward with others that we had found separately. There was never any pressure to move away from our wedding vision or budget.

After a year of lockdowns and restrictions, it was always a risk to settle on a date. Jane was invaluable in mitigating this risk by scrutinising contracts and agreements with vendors. Not only did she liaise with each vendor individually, she brought them all together to make sure they were on the same page and had a single point of contact on the day.

As for the day itself, she was the glue holding it all together! Her team made sure that we could enjoy our wedding completely. Any hiccups were dealt with and she worked with our brilliant vendors to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. Planned for Perfection received the highest compliments from our guests and we have no doubt why.

Our family and friends are the most important thing to us. Having Jane on board meant that we could spend as much time with them as possible and they could have an amazing party.

We cannot thank you enough Jane. You are an absolute boss!!

Look forward to catching up with you soon.

Cotswold wedding at Kiftsgate gardens - Bride

I really struggled to start writing this review, mostly because I don’t know how to begin thanking Jane for what a brilliant job she did! Our wedding day is honestly one of the best days of my life so far and a huge part of that is thanks to Jane’s amazing organisational skills, caring nature and utter determination!  

My husband and I (still strange saying that!) decided to start planning our wedding during the pandemic… We both had some ideas of things we wanted, but we didn’t really know how to execute them. Enter Jane. As somewhat of a perfectionist myself, I didn’t want a wedding planner to do all the planning or make all the decisions. From the first time I spoke to Jane, she completely understood where I was coming from and what I needed: someone to help, guide, advise and support, whilst not taking over the whole process.  

Not only was Jane always kind and delightful to talk to, but she offered creative ideas, was passionate about the fine details, extremely knowledgeable and very efficient. Her experience was invaluable. She recommended vendors who were just as exceptional as her, but was also a fantastic team player with any new suppliers that we brought into the team.  

Jane raised points that we would never have thought of on our own and always provided the solution too! With regards to contracts, she helped to make sure they were Covid-tight, by ensuring that every supplier was on the same page. When it came to keeping all the suppliers up to date (as we entered into lockdowns and restriction lifting dates changed on a frequent basis) she was excellent at communicating with the whole team and taking the stress off us. I have no doubt that there were many more hidden hiccups in the background, but Jane never let us know about any issues unless she’d already come up with a plan to tackle them! 

Throughout the planning process, it always felt like Jane had our back. If we ever ran into any difficulties, be it with ever-changing Covid rules, keeping everyone safe, or with the logistics of making things happen on the day – she was the first to find a way, reassure us and keep us optimistic! 

Jane, I cannot thank you enough. There were so many other examples I could mention to highlight your commitment to giving your couples their “best day ever”, but your work really does speak for itself. You were an absolute dream to work with over the past year and you definitely helped to keep me sane! Whether it was moonlighting as my therapist, a political guru or weather forecaster you took on your multiple roles with grace and humour! And on the day, we could not have wished for a more insightful, dedicated, thoughtful and truly lovely individual to give us a day of perfection. All our guests – and particularly our close family, who also got to know you – are so grateful and in awe of what you helped us to pull off! Without you, there is no doubt in my mind that the process would have been a hundred times more stressful, and we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the day half as much as we did. Thank you again and we can’t wait to meet up with you for a catch up soon!

Two wonderful grooms in the Cotswolds

Dear Jane,

Now the dust has settled and things are returning to normal, we just wanted to send you a quick note. The words "Thank you" don't seem enough to cover everything you have done for us.

We always dreamed of having our wedding at our home in The Cotswolds, and you not only turned that dream into a reality, you managed to surpass our expectations. As you know we are very "particular" - so this is an extraordinary feat!

Having had to postpone our wedding twice, you played supplier Tetris with complete aplomb and without an utterance of frustration, as we finally made it to the most perfect weekend of our lives.

Your knowledge and expertise are second to none and every single one of the suppliers who you so rightly recommended bought their "A game". Not only that, they were some of the loveliest people you could wish to meet, who genuinely seemed thrilled to be a part of our wedding celebrations.

As we said on the day, you are award-winning for a reason, and we have no doubt there are very few people who could have pulled of the perfect weekend as you did. (Especially on our very steep site!).

Over the last week, we have had note after note from our guests raving about the standard of our event. Many calling it the best wedding they have ever been to.

Please can you pass on our thanks to Hannah and Fi. They were also both amazing and lovely in equal measure!

Jane, finally, we feel so incredibly fortunate to have had you by our sides during this entire process. Thanks for the laughs, the guidance, the wisdom and the calm. We really are going to miss you!

Sending you lots of love and thanks for delivering not just perfection, but the exceptional!!!!!

Marquee wedding at manor house castle combe

Dear Jane,

It is with heartfelt gratitude that we are sending this note of appreciation and praise for the commitment and hard work that you showed in the execution of Livy and David’s wedding last weekend in Castle Combe – You did a fantastic job!

Everyone has been praising the whole event as being the best wedding they’ve attended. We are still on a high and  savouring the precious moments that we have had. 

Thank you Jane for all you did to help us create this magical day for our daughter and her husband. 

We have already been passing on high recommendations of your company. 

See you when the couple get back from their honeymoon, when we can plan a mutual date to catch up. 

Best wishes

Vogue Wedding Films 

We’ve been lucky enough to work with Planned for Perfection on numerous weddings over the years, and we always have an additional spring in our step when filming one of Jane’s meticulously planned, beautiful weddings.

Jane is a delight to work with and her passion for what she does is not only evident in the weddings and events that she produces, but also in her happy, positive and calm demeanour that everyone around her experiences. 

I often hear clients say on their wedding day, that they don’t know what they would have done without Jane guiding them through their wedding planning journey. I know she’s hugely appreciated by both her clients and the teams of suppliers that work with her on wedding days. 

Thank you Jane, you’re the best!

Alison & Justin

 

Marquee wedding in Surrey

Jane was among a number of planners recommended to us by our venue, as having a planner came as a prerequisite of booking to have our wedding there. As quite a creative and visual person I was originally concerned about having a planner, as I felt I wanted my wedding to reflect my husband and I, rather than what was fashionable or had been put together by a ‘wedding professional’ who had done it many times before. From my first meeting with Jane, it became very clear that with her this certainly wouldn’t be the case. Jane 100% put me at ease that it would still very much by our day, the way we wanted it and that she would be there as a guiding hand and help us achieve this. After meeting with a few other planners, we opted for Planned for Perfection based on Jane’s easy going, friendly persona and a real feeling that Jane would be invaluable over the coming months of planning – which could not have been more true.
Throughout our entire 18 months of planning, Jane was there not only as an excellent wedding planner, budget keeper and meeting organiser, but as a constant reassurance we were ‘on track’ and had nothing to worry about. Her expertise and wealth of experience was such a wonderful thing to have on our side, after all, we’d never planned a wedding before! When just 6 months before the wedding – after almost an entire year of planning – we hit a bump in the road and decided to change from the venue that we had originally booked to a wedding at home Jane was the complete saving grace – honestly, we couldn’t have done it without her. Not only did Jane seamlessly and seemingly effortlessly rearrange all our current suppliers to the new venue, but she was invaluable at putting everyone’s mind at ease and calming us all, in what could have been a highly stressful situation.
In the week leading up to the wedding, Jane came into her own again, she was there everyday of the ‘set up’ at our home (even missing being home for her daughter’s final A-level exam – now THAT’S dedication!) directing and overseeing all of the various suppliers arriving throughout the week. Jane’s meticulous planning and week off ‘timetable’ meant all the set up went along perfectly and any ‘bumps in the road’ had adequate time to be over come and dealt within plenty of time. When it finally came to the day of our wedding, I felt nothing but calm and relaxed, knowing that Jane had organised the day to perfection and was there for us making sure it all went to plan. Having Jane at the house in the morning before we left for the church was really wonderful, as she really became a friend throughout the planning process and my parent’s were more than happy leaving their home in Jane’s hands while we went off to the ceremony, with final set up still taking place. Jane’s assistant Fiona then met us at the Church and was equally as lovely and friendly, calming all the nerves as we waited at the door of the church (mostly on behalf of my bridesmaids!!!!) and even helped to make sure my veil and dress were laid perfectly before I walked down the aisle.
In all, I really can’t recommend hiring Jane and Planned for Perfection enough and have been praising her many virtues to all of my engaged friends. Wedding planning is a wonderful time but it’s (probably) something you’ll never have done before and having someone on your side that knows what they’re doing and has done it many times before, is such a benefit and reassurance. For anyone worried that having a wedding planner will take away your creative streak or somehow reduce your creative input – DON’T! Working with Jane, I was able to have full creative say in the wedding styling that I wanted and having Jane organise the more logistical/budget side of the wedding, left me free with all the time to make, create and mood board – if anything having Jane allowed me to have MORE creative input, how would I have had time to make signposts, learn calligraphy and make three wedding cakes (www.dollydewdrops.co.uk) if I hadn’t been able to hand over organising meetings, timings, budget and general logistical everything to Jane!  Our wedding planning journey may not have always been smooth and I think its fair to say we probably hit more than a few bumps along the way, but with Planned for Perfection in our corner, it was never anything but a joyous, stress free and wonderful 18 months of excitement, love and flowers. A time I’d repeat again in a heart beat, if I had Jane in my corner.

Thank you.
Lizzie and Matt Wallis

 

Marquee wedding in Herefordshire

“A million thanks to Planned for Perfection! Jane was invaluable in helping us organise our wedding in the UK whilst we ourselves were based overseas in Australia. Her experienced guidance gave us complete reassurance during the planning process that the day would be just was we wanted. And indeed it was. On the day, her calm influence and expertise with managing the contractors meant we could focus entirely on enjoying the day with our family and friends, knowing all the details were being managed in the background. We would gladly recommend Jane and Planned for Perfection to any other couples making the leap and in need of an experienced events organiser to help make their special day come together.

Thanks again Jane.

Cotswold Wedding at Hilles House Palace Yurt

We cannot praise Jane enough for the support she gave us throughout the 18 months of planning our dream wedding! The day was so much more than we had ever hoped for, and we could never have pulled it off without Jane’s (and her team’s) patience, diligence and expertise. Throughout the planning of our wedding, she effortlessly injected a feeling of calm and diplomacy into a wedding party that boasted a few ‘big personalities’, and despite a few last minute changes in the line up, Jane always made us feel she had this 100% under control, which enabled us to enjoy the process rather than get caught up in the stress! In addition, her stellar reputation and locally held relationships enabled us to feel confident that the vendors she introduced us to would provide an equally perfect service as she did. By the time the day came, everything came together seamlessly, and not once did we have to think about keeping things on track – Jane was waiting in the wings making sure everything was perfect. In a way, it is sad it is all over, but when I can persuade Jamie that it’s appropriate to renew our vows, we will be back!

Marquee wedding in Dorset

Jane was incredibly helpful throughout our entire wedding planning journey, especially in the week leading up to the wedding and the day itself.  She was also onsite all week for the marquee set up and nothing was too much trouble. Jane made sure that everything ran like clockwork, ensuring that the day was stress-free so that we, our family and friends, were able to enjoy the day to the full!

Thank you again for all of your help Jane

Cotswold wedding at Cripps Barn

Planning a destination wedding in The Cotswolds and living in the USA, we knew that we would need help with our wedding planning. It was obvious from the introductory phone call that Jane would be the perfect person to work with on our big day. Throughout the wedding planning process, Jane listened to our wants and needs, was consultative, flexible, endlessly helpful and accommodating. Because of her extensive wedding industry experience, Jane was able to offer us measured and useful advice at every turn. She did a wonderful job representing our best interests and desires with vendors, yet managing all communications perfectly to keep everybody on both sides happy.

The day was perfect and we are incredibly grateful to Jane and the team at Planned for Perfection for their role in making it all happen. Thank you!

Foxhill Manor wedding in the Cotswolds

Dear Jane,

Thank you for everything!  We can’t imagine how we could have planned our wedding without you. We ourselves and our guests enjoyed very much the time at Foxhill and we know clearly it would be impossible without you. From planning the dinner before, liaising with the Foxhill team and our suppliers to the execution of the finer details, you have always sought to understand our requirements and ensured the best approach was taken. There’s cultural difference, but you have always listened patiently and provided the best advice. We know the celebrations in the Cotswolds concluded successfully only because many things were being taken care of by you behind the scenes and we cannot thank you enough!

We must also thank you for your recommendations, the flowers and decoration were so beautiful, elegant and amazingly versatile and I’m absolutely impressed by the professionalism and elegance of the flowers and decoration. Everyone praised about how stunning the flowers were and were also impressed by the cake, which is a piece of art to see and which tastes divine. It’s the best wedding cake I’ve ever tasted!

We are departing for ou honeymoon soon and we will be missing the Cotswolds terribly.  We will visit again and hope to see you.

Thank you

Cotswold Wedding in The Pump Room

Dearest Jane,

Please don’t think that my delayed reply means that I truly do not appreciate what you did for us and for my sanity during the lead up to our wedding and on the day itself! I have been following you on Instagram and I am just so amazed and proud to say that “P4P” planned my wedding day too!  You gave us such a special day and when I look at all of the amazing places your gift takes you, I am just so happy that you helped me…..a girl who never thought she would get married had the best day of her life!
When it came to wedding planning, I had no idea where to start! I had found my gorgeous venue [Pittville Pump Rooms in Cheltenham] and whilst looking through their list of approved vendors I came across Planned for Perfection. When I researched Jane, I was really excited and I just knew that she would get my vision without me even having to speak – a skill that came in very handy when we first met!
Looking through her past weddings and reading her testimonials, I could see that she really enjoyed what she did and it wasn’t just a business to her, she clearly enjoys planning weddings and has a great eye for all different styles of weddings in simple, amazing, luxurious and beautifully romantic settings.
When I first went to meet Jane at the venue, the amazingness of the venue literally rendered me speechless…..and I mean literally, I was totally overwhelmed!  I couldn’t even make any decisions, but by asking me lots of questions and suggesting lots of ideas, Jane got my vision and I knew immediately, that she would create the look I was going for, which was timeless, elegant, Hollywood glamour!
Jane would check in with me regularly and see how things were going and as the wedding day got closer and closer, Jane kept me calm in the madness of it all!
Jane was amazing, as well as working her magic in organising everything, the order of the day was so precise, she made sure that all of the individual suppliers knew exactly what they were meant to be doing and she was a calming influence when I was overwhelmed with everything and everyone!
The morning of my wedding was so relaxing I even managed to have a little nap!
There were numerous calls from my London guests telling me that it was snowing, there were hailstones and torrential rain, but I didn’t worry because it was all in hand and I knew that it would all be ok, whatever the weather! Jane was like a fairy that sprinkled magic dust on the whole day and it was perfect….even the sun came out!
My guests were amazed by the whole day, Jane made everyone feel so comfortable and I was so happy to have her expertise and support. She also works so well as a team player with all suppliers to ensure the best day. In particular with Ben Roberts, our amazing photographer, who was also the absolute best!
All I can say is that Jane is amazing and I couldn’t and wouldn’t recommend anyone else to plan your special day! She is absolutely fabulous and is forever a huge part of one of the happiest days of my life.
I mean every single word – Thank you so so much to Jane!
Lots and lots of love
Mrs T

Luxury London Wedding at the Barbican & Southwark Cathedral

I recently got married in London and used Planned for Perfection as my wedding planner. Jane immediately took over the organisation and challenges of dealing with the many different aspects associated with my wedding. The attention to detail was amazing and the support offered to my family and I was wonderful. Nothing was too much trouble and the guidance offered was always excellent. Jane and her team’s commitment to ensuring everything went smoothly on the day made it a very memorable time for everyone. Using Planned for Perfection as my wedding planner was the best decision I made and I would thoroughly recommend Jane and her team to any other bride. Fabulous service, thank you for everything!

Kinds word from one of our recommended cake suppliers

Wedding at Hoar Cross Hall in Staffordshire

Writing this review has proven difficult because it’s difficult to put into words how much Jane has done for Matt and I in helping our wedding dreams come true!

When I first met Jane I instantly felt a connection, she was so easy to talk to and I knew that she was going to do a fantastic job making not one, but two wedding days a dream come true.
Jane held our hands every step of the way during our wedding planning journey, from showing us potential wedding venues, save the dates, wedding stationery, suit hire, wedding dress shopping, menu tasting venue styling, florists and all of the entertainment for our wedding. Along the way, we were faced with some personal dramas, but Jane always remained professional and calm (even when I was at times, loosing the will to live!). Jane always found us a sensible solution and always helped us to overcome the problems we were facing.
Matt and I have received endless amounts of compliments on how our wedding was the best wedding they have been to! Jane not only became a good friend to me during the wedding planning, she created our perfect day – our wedding really was the best day of our lives and I can truly say, this is because our wedding really was ‘Planned for Perfection’!
Tanya & Matt

 

The finishing touches for a unique Forest Ceremony in the Forest of Dean & Manor by the Lake, Cheltenham

From the very moment I spoke to Jane I knew she would be an excellent person to help organise and run our wedding. She is a lovely, bubbly, warm person and she did everything we asked and thought about things that we hadn’t. She was a great support and we both knew we were in capable hands.
The service she provided was absolutely brilliant – both in terms of organisation and making us feel good and calm – I would recommend her to anyone!
Thank you so much for being part of our day and making it so perfect.

Thank you for being part of our special weekend and for all of your help and support on the day and leading up to our wedding.
We couldn’t have got there without you – thank you so much!

Wedding at The Savoy Hotel London 

“Jane is the ultimate fairy godmother in the wedding planning world! She is sweet, kind, thoughtful, understanding and unintrusive. Jane had five weeks to plan our  wedding and worked tirelessly to ensure it was magical she acted herself and worked very hard not only planning that was very much hands-on during the wedding day itself too, we were very happy with the whole wedding planning process from start to finish and will be grateful to her for the rest of our lives.

The best wedding planner ever!
You’ve been an absolute rock throughout the whole wedding planning process from the very first time we met you. You gave us the most incredible wedding and we will never be able to thank you enough for everything you did for us – we will be eternally grateful because it wouldn’t have happened so fabulously without you, you did an absolutely incredible job!
Thank you for the bottom of our hearts for  giving us the most perfect day, you really did. I am sure that it was stressful behind the scenes, but you never, ever, gave us any inkling that it was anything other than a pleasure. Thank you so so much
Lots of love Sarah & Alec

 

Winter wedding at Pittville Pump Room in Cheltenham

“Jane
Where do we start to thank you?
From our first meeting with you, pretty much a year ago from our wedding, you have “held our hands” from the beginning to end.
The support and experience you offer is absolutely incredible and for a couple with not so many pairs of hands to delegate to, we seriously couldn’t have done it without you. Your professional and can-do attitude saved us from many a close call and you acknowledged our frustration, generally with humour, which was the best tonic.
Having you as part of our wedding day itself was also invaluable, we will both really miss you and all our wedding planning chats and wish you and your business all the very best.
Keep in touch
Kate & Adrian “

 

 Marquee Wedding Management in the grounds of  the family home in West Sussex

Dear Jane,
What a wonderful wedding and so much of our enjoyment was to have you to oversee, offer advice and help out in all sorts of ways. You were wonderful and from the moment you arrived on the Friday you took away all the stress of organising what was by far the biggest party we have given here. I am in no doubt that your excellent ‘eye’  and attention to every little detail, was very much responsible for everything running so smoothly – and judging by the very many letters I have already received it was indeed a triumph and magical day for Fi and Will.
With our grateful thanks and very best wishes,

Jane was absolutely amazing! As soon as I met her I knew she was the lady to help me with my wedding planning.  Her kind caring nature and enthusiasm for the task in hand made me feel confident that she would do the best job and she did not let us down.
She helped us pick our dream venue, recommended the best suppliers, was so imaginative and her attention to detail was second to none.  From goody bags for the guests on the bus to flip flops for the ladies in the evening to dance in, she thought of everything! Our day was truly Planned for Perfection.

A seasoned professional and a total expert at what she does, whether it’s solving a last minute hiccup or simply saying the right things on the day to keep everyone’s nerves at bay. I had the pleasure of working with Jane as our “On The Day” wedding planner (recommended by our photographers Weddings by Nicola & Glen). And, whilst she hadn’t been involved in the organizing of our wedding until a few weeks before the big event, from the moment we met, it felt as though she’d been part of the planning. She knew every detail of our wedding inside-out — as well as all of the suppliers and their roles and responsibilities — even though I’d only met her a few days beforehand. Jane was the professional support I needed to ensure everything went off without a “hitch” and she more than delivered.
Thank you Jane!

Gloucestershire wedding

“Dear Jane,
Tess and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, for all the support we have received from you during the past few months, which eventually culminated in a most outstanding wedding on ‘Friday the thirteenth of July’!!!
Your attention to detail was greatly appreciated by all concerned, particularly by Laura and Scott themselves.  You made their day extra special.
All your recommended suppliers delivered excellent service, indeed, beyond the call of duty!
With regard to Planned for Perfection, we can well and truly understand how you have earned your enviable reputation of ‘National Wedding Planner of the Year’, and long may you so reign.  We, and all those at the wedding last Friday wholeheartedly endorse this and wish you every success for the future.  You won a few potential clients on Friday judging by overheard comments.
Thank you and Fond regards,
Tess and Ray Catterall.”

 

Wedding at Wyck Hill Hotel & Spa

Thank you so much for all your input and especially for all of your help and organisation for helping make Elisa and Richard’s wedding such a success and the perfect day.
The day went really smoothly and we were really pleased with all those who helped make it such a memorable occasion.  There is no doubt that being able to hand over to you helped us relax and make the most of the wedding which just flew by.  Knowing you were organising in the background was such a relief and meant we were able to take in and enjoy the whole event.  All your recommendations were excellent and the team of contacts you have built up are of the highest quality and can be recommended to everyone.  Your happy and ‘nothing is too much of a problem’ approach certainly instilled in me the confidence to hand over to you those days before.  Attention to detail is, as you know due to our military background, one of our expectations and you hit it right at every level – well done!
Elisa and Richard were so happy with everything  and there  is no doubt the day was very special and memorable due to your input and the guests thought it was so well organised and raised the bar for all future weddings…well done!
Well once again a very big thank you – I am forever grateful I bumped into you that day and I  can understand how you won  Best wedding planner– a well-deserved title!
Take care and many many thanks.

We cannot thank Jane highly enough. Organising a wedding at our dream venue of Blenheim Palace was always going to be stressful but Jane made all the difference and took away any pain and dealt with it in a first class and professional manner.  If you are contemplating a wedding planner then look no further than Planned for Perfection!

Where do we start?! Jane, we both can't thank you enough for everything you did for us on the run up to the wedding and on the actual day - you really went above and beyond to make our dream wedding day run seamlessly. One of our biggest worries was that we would be stressed on the lead up to and the actual wedding day with making sure everything would run smoothly, but I can say it really was the best day of our lives and we have you to thank for this. 

Your ability to adapt to each of your couples is incredible, you do such a vast array of weddings and yet you managed to see our vision of what we wanted perfectly and help us achieve it. We felt so lucky to be able to have you as part of our journey and we cannot recommend you enough.

London wedding at The Gherkin 

Where do I begin? My husband and I's dream wedding in the heart of the city of London exceeded our every expectation. The day was flawless from start to finish, and our guests unanimously agreed that none of them had attended a more incredible wedding. Jane's attention to detail, warm professionalism, and refusal to settle for anything less than absolute perfection truly made our wedding nothing short of iconic. Although it may sound like a cliché, our wedding day was undoubtedly the best of our lives so far. Second to marrying my husband, choosing Planned for Perfection as our world-class wedding planner was the best decision I have ever made. We love you, Jane! xx

We wanted say an enormous thank you for everything you did in planning our dream wedding & making (our somewhat bonkers) idea a reality! Thank you for your kindness & your patience throughout the process & for working so closely with us in every aspect of the wedding planning. Without your knowledge, expertise & guidance, we would have been lost & the wedding weekend would never have been as it was - truly the best few days of our lives!

I am forever grateful for your hard work and patience with us, you have the patience of a saint and are a perfectionist in every single way!

I will be forever grateful and I have absolutely no regrets and wouldn’t change a single thing about our day -  you are simply sensational at your job. I’m so pleased I made that call and contacted you that day, as we could not have done this without you.

Jane,

YOU are incredible!

I can’t imagine one day of our (extra long) wedding planning journey or a minute of our wedding week without you. You were the calm we needed, providing clarity, direction, and always in your positive, kind and professional way. You patiently navigated our extra large wedding party, so many international guests and interesting family dynamics.

Wedding fairy god mother is an understatement. I am so grateful for you and the P4P team.

Thank you for making our dream wedding day possible

The Manor House at Castle Combe

Dear Jane,

Even in normal times, we would have been lucky to have had you organise our wedding, but you ended up organising our wedding three times due to Covid and we couldn’t be more grateful!

From the outset, you were thoughtful, responsive, detailed and above all, a great person to work with. You are no longer our ‘wedding planner’ and instead our friend.

Your wealth of wedding planning experience, limitless contacts in the industry, as well as your stellar relationships with venues and suppliers, made sure that a potentially very stressful experience was avoided and we had our dream wedding - a flawless and perfect wedding in England.

What we enjoyed most about working with you was the amount of time and stress you saved us, yet always giving us the space to personalise our wedding.

Thank you Jane!

Our wedding was the best day of my life. We had more than 120 guests from around the world coming to Berkeley Castle to celebrate this once in a lifetime event. Thank you so much to Jane and her team from Planned for Perfection who ensured the bride and groom could focus on the celebration and having fun. We enjoyed every minute of the day, as all the details behind the scenes, communication with vendors and proactive planning were handled seamlessly. If you’re wondering if hiring a wedding planner is worth the investment, a 100 times yes!

Luxury wedding in Wiltshire

Dear Jane,

After 2 years, 3 date changes and a global pandemic, where do I even start…

From the very first call, we just clicked with you Jane and you were always there if we needed you, either on the end of the phone, in person or via an email.

You made planning and rearranging a wedding so many times seem easy! You kept us all calm and level headed throughout the whole wedding planning process and definitely stopped my mother and I from killing each other a few times! (love you mum!)

Your recommendations of luxury wedding suppliers were sublime, the talented team that you created were second to none! Our wedding weekend was full of creative, likeminded people that turned our dreams into reality. From the flowers to the cutlery, every detail was absolutely Planned for Perfection – the truth really is in the name!

You made us feel like guests at our own wedding, which is truly the best feeling - we had nothing to worry about over the three days, we just turned up and had the time of our lives! 

It was genuinely the most magical three days of our life and I don’t think anything will ever top it!

I cannot express our gratitude for you Jane, no amount of thank you’s will ever be enough for what you helped us achieve and we couldn’t have done it without you!

You became a massive part of our lives over the past 2 years and you will truly be missed!

Lots of Love, 

Amelia (Bride)

 

Gay wedding in the Cotswolds

Hi Jane,

Now the dust has settled and things are returning to normal, we just wanted to send you a quick note. The words "Thank you" don't seem enough to cover everything you have done for us.

We always dreamed of having our wedding at our home in The Cotswolds, and you not only turned that dream into a reality, you managed to surpass our expectations. As you know we are very "particular" - so this is an extraordinary feat!

Having had to postpone our wedding twice, you played supplier Tetris with complete aplomb and without an utterance of frustration, as we finally made it to the most perfect weekend of our lives.

Your knowledge and expertise are second to none and every single one of the suppliers who you so rightly recommended bought their "A game". Not only that, they were some of the loveliest people you could wish to meet, who genuinely seemed thrilled to be a part of our wedding celebrations.

As we said on the day, you are award-winning for a reason, and we have no doubt there are very few people who could have pulled of the perfect weekend as you did. (Especially on our very steep site!).

Over the last week, we have had note after note from our guests raving about the standard of our event. Many calling it the best wedding they have ever been to.

Please can you pass on our thanks to Hannah and Fi. They were also both amazing and lovely in equal measure!

Jane, finally, we feel so incredibly fortunate to have had you by our sides during this entire process. Thanks for the laughs, the guidance, the wisdom and the calm. We really are going to miss you!

Sending you lots of love and thanks for delivering not just perfection, but the exceptional!!!!!

It is only after having you at my own wedding that I truly understand the words of gratitude from Planned for Perfection bride and grooms over the years that we have worked together.

You are a true professional in all that you do, your passion, enthusiasm, attention to detail and willingness, along with everything else, was more appreciated than you’ll ever know. You allowed me to actually switch off and in turn gave us the very best wedding day possible and as such, we will forever be in your debt.

Surprise proposal at Blenheim Palace

Jane is worth every penny and more for her services! She planned the perfect proposal at Blenheim Palace and it wouldn’t have been possible without her experience and creativity. 

Given that I reside in the US and was proposing in the UK, there was an initial apprehension, since I was proposing in an area that I had  never visited before, but when speaking with Jane, she took all that apprehension away!

Due to time difference, it could have been difficult to communicate over the phone. However, Jane always made herself available throughout the day to answer any questions or go through any other ideas I had about the proposal. She is very attentive, personable and is willing to go above and beyond to make sure your day is special. 

She handled everything for me, such as sourcing photographers, videographers, suggesting places to propose and places to eat during our trip to the Cotswolds. Because of her, our proposal was magical and something my fiancée & I will never forget!

We have had the pleasure of working with Jane and the Planned for Perfection team for a decade now. Jane not only plans and delivers the most amazing weddings and events, but she also attracts the loveliest clients too! Jane is able to balance the requirements of her clients and suppliers to make sure that her couples get to enjoy their day in a fun and relaxed manner whilst we the photographers of the day get what we need to preserve the story of the wedding for the bride and groom. It is always such a privilege to work on a Planned for Perfection wedding and to have Jane making sure the day runs smoothly.

She really is the wedding fairy godmother!

London Wedding in Fulham 

Jane was great and took all our stress away for our London Wedding! She was really consultative and provided useful insight, asking questions that we otherwise would not have thought of, because of her experience. She was able to adapt to the specific needs of our day and was always proactive and easy to contact. She made me a very happy groom, as she made my wife's dream become a reality, which is all I could have asked for!

Thank you Jane!

Wiltshire wedding at Grittleton House

“After planning the majority of our wedding ourselves (& having 3 years to do so!) we had most things sorted in advance, thinking it would get quieter closer to the wedding to allow me to sort other things... It didn’t! I was getting very stressed with the things I still had to do, contacting suppliers and arranging the few wedding details we had left.

Ben suggested finding a wedding planner to help and that’s where we stumbled upon Planned for Perfection.. Jane, I can’t thank you enough for jumping in 6 weeks before our wedding and ensuring all my previous planning and suppliers were organised, had timings and were sorted themselves for the day, suggesting and arranging a few final suppliers for us, but most of all, for taking a lot of the stresses away from me before the wedding and for being so lovely throughout the process!

Hannah was brilliant on the day too and many guests commented on how helpful you were. Thank you for straightening and holding my dress, for ensuring all the last minute details were taken care of and thank you for running around with a smoke bomb (one of the highlights of the day for sure!)

Truly, we couldn’t of done without you both!

Destination wedding in Italy 

Often when a person is instructed to do a job you think you know what you’ll get. We expected a wedding planner to be at the end of the phone, to introduce us to suppliers, send photo ideas, create mood boards, find a venue and help with catering.. We did get that of corse, but also far far far more than we could have hoped for!

We could never include all of the examples of hard work and attention to detail that we received from Planned for Perfection, but here are a few highlights..
I happened to mention to Jane during the early stages of planning, that I quite liked the look of a particular hotel that I’d seen on TV and that if we could find something like that, it would be great. Within a couple of hours she found the exact hotel in Italy and the available dates.
We wanted to get married within 6 months, travel with our 3 children all under 4, bring two nannies and our guests from the UK and abroad. The children were given child appropriate rooms, stair gates were fitted, car seats were purchased in Italy, transfers from the airports were arranged, guests were personally met at the airport by Jane’s team, Jane and her crew knew who was arriving when and on which flight. By the end of the first day she even knew every guest by name!

We visited Aquapetra with Jane to approve the venue and taste the wedding food. Jane reminded us about dietary requirements of all of our guests and gave us her insight into catering for our wedding and advised what would work well. Her input and experience around how the catering and service should run on the wedding day, was invaluable.

The hotel was transformed over the days leading up to the wedding. Jane and Fiona even climbed an olive tree in heels to hang lights, and in an unprecedented hail storm, swept away hail stones from a flooded terrace. Jane even had a safety pin when during a rather over enthusiastic dance move, I broke the strap of my dress! Their attention to detail was second to none and the wedding weekend ran seamlessly.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Planned for Perfection team. Jane is always at the end of the phone, knows the very best suppliers, and deals with every question and and bride worries in a measured, calm and reassuring way. We couldn’t have done it with her.

Blenheim Palace Wedding

Apart from saying “yes” to my fiancé’s proposal, hiring Jane at Planned for Perfection was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! Jane was everything we hoped for – intuitive, responsive, and organized, on top of being warm and great fun to work with. She was brilliant at tying up all the loose ends that my “bride brain” completely forgot on the day too… When we decided to replace our florist and reprint our table plan at the last minute, Jane said “leave it to me” and the problem was sorted. Thank you, Jane, for your invaluable help throughout this process. I can wholeheartedly recommend Planned for Perfection.

We’ve had so many comments that our wedding was the best wedding that our guests have been to – it certainly was absolutely the best day of our lives! From the styling, to the organising & your recommendations, to the support that you have given us over the last 10 months – no matter what the request, we thoroughly appreciate all that you have done!  As a thank you, we’ve just transferred you a little something extra – please use this money to treat yourself on something nice because you deserve it.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing one of the weddings which Jane planned. Having never worked with her before I wasn't sure what to expect..Jane was a complete and utter pleasure to work with, helpful, kind, organised and never without a smile on her face, despite the crazy weather! I  was so impressed with how she had planned, designed and managed the whole day form start to finish and especially her relationship with the bride and groom. It was clear to see that she had gone above and beyond for her clients and that is so inspiring and impressive to see. Jane is a highly experienced and wonderful planner, who I hope to work with again in the future! 

Thank you Jane for also taking such good care of your suppliers, we appreciate you!

‘An Intimate Hindu Celebration in Surrey’ at Wotton Hall in Surrey & Elmore Court in The Cotswolds

After getting engaged we decided having a wedding planner on the ground in the UK would be a smart move as we live in Australia.  We were looking for someone who would partner with us on this fabulous journey of planning our dream day.  We weren’t looking for someone to run the show but someone to suggest things and be our eyes and ears on the ground.  After contacting a few planners and talking to three we knew in an instant that Jane was the lady for us.  From our first Skype call Jane was warm, friendly and most importantly listened to us.Our wedding was going to be December 2015 and the theme was ‘East meets West” with 14 months to plan the wedding we flew to the UK in September 2014 to meet Jane, look at venues and meet florists and cake makers and do food tastings.  Jane had all this arranged and planned for us before we arrived and we were excited and felt in control and couldn’t wait to see all our plans come together.December 2014 we got a call from the UK to say that my mother had been diagnosed with lung cancer and that time was of the essence so we decided to do a separate wedding ceremony that my Mum could be part of, I didn’t know how I was going to make this happen but I called Jane and she made me feel at ease and that it was all going to be OK.   Arriving in the UK on the 9th of December Jane had an understanding of what I wanted and needed to achieve to be able to share a special day with my mum and our close family.Within a week, Jane had helped me secure a venue a date, a catering company, flowers, a photographer and cake.  To make things more complicated, we were planning a traditional Hindu wedding but somehow Jane used her contacts and her expertise in wedding planning to pull off an entire wedding in 4 weeks (with Christmas and New Year in between!).  The results were out of this world and we could not have asked for a better day. Everything was perfect and the day ran without a hitch.  Without Jane achieving this would have been almost impossible but her knowledge of all things weddings and her network and relationships with vendors made this all come together.This was Part 1 of our two-part wedding; we are still going ahead with our original wedding date later this year and Jane continues to support and help us plan this exciting journey.  She always gets back to us promptly; you would never know there is a 8 hour time difference.  Jane has ideas for all elements of your day and always works with what you want and your vision.  We cannot wait to see the results for Part II.
Part 2 at Elmore Court, GloucestershireDear Jane
Just a quick note to say a big thank you for helping us create a beautiful and magical day, AGAIN!  You have been a huge support to us over the last year and words aren’t enough… You have helped make what felt like impossible, very possible – you are a superstar!
Thank you so much for everything, you are an amazing person.
Lots of love

Cotswold wedding at Cripps Barn

Jane was absolutely amazing! We were not sure whether we needed a wedding planner at first, but we are so happy that we decided to go with Planned for Perfection – hiring Jane as our wedding planner was one of the best decisions we made! Jane was always at the other end of the phone (or email), helping to coordinate suppliers, timings, answer guest queries and keep things moving, especially in the weeks leading up to the wedding. By the time the wedding weekend arrived, all of those tiny last minute details that would usually keep me awake, simply just didn’t exist – I knew Jane had everything covered and it let us truly enjoy the weekend and make the most of our time with our friends and family. Jane is extremely experienced, very organised and great at managing people. We would highly recommend Planned for Perfection.

Sudeley Castle wedding

Having had first hand experience of Janes skills at bringing together all facets of my daughters wedding, “Planned for Perfection” would be the first name on the list for future events. From the moment that Jane took over the reins, my daughter was able to relax, as it was clear from the first and subsequent meetings with her that everything was being meticulously organised and executed. The wedding day went like clockwork and nothing was too much trouble for Jane who clearly loves her job and is great with people. No wonder she has won numerous accolades this year, they are well deserved!

Gloucestershire-Warwickshire Railway Romantic Steam Wedding

From the first meeting with Jane, our minds were put at rest. We told Jane the type of wedding we hoped for and she made suggestions along the way. As our wedding was on board a Steam train, we knew there may be logistical issues to overcome. We need not have worried, in the months before our wedding, Jane visited us at home, going over all the fine details – she was in regular contact with the staff at the Train station and our photographer. On the day of our wedding, Jane was at the station hours before us, sorting out the rings, favours, carriages, seating, guests etc. When we arrived, she calmed our nerves, fixed my hair before I made my entrance and organised the Caldicot Male Voice Choir to start singing as she led the way for us to walk down onto the platform, to greet our waiting family and friends.
Jane worked tirelessly to make sure everything went smoothly for us on our big day. Weeks later friends were still talking about how well organised the wedding was and how much they had enjoyed it – this is all thanks to Jane. We would highly recommend Planned for Perfection to anybody wanting a perfect wedding day.

Luxury wedding at the Four Seasons Hampshire

Dear Jane,

We can’t thank you enough for all that you did to help us put together one of the most important days of our lives. You were definitely everything we hoped for and more.  Our wedding day was more beautiful than either one of us could have imagined.  And we thank you so much for that.

When looking for a wedding planner, we were looking for someone we could trust, fully rely on, and someone who would really understand our taste- particularly because we were planning a U.K. wedding from overseas in NYC, in combination with both Jeremy’s and my full/busy work schedules.  In addition to not having the ability to fully devote our time to wedding planning, the time difference worked against us as well. And Jane, you met all of our needs, took the time to really listen to what we were envisioning aesthetically, and as well as for the general ambience of the day.  I can’t stress enough to those who are looking for an international wedding planner how important this is.  It was a huge relief knowing you could filter out on our behalf, and that we fully trusted you to make judgement calls for us.  You also went above and beyond to look for items I was looking for not necessarily available in the U.K.- and the amazing thing is, you always pulled through and found a vendor that could make everything I was looking for!

But most importantly, the wedding day itself ran seamlessly because of you. The day of was such a calm, relaxing, stress-free day because you made sure we knew everything was in good hands.  Coming from someone who was not thrilled by the idea of wedding planning in general, it was an absolute pleasure working with you- in fact, I would do it all over again!

Should we ever have another event to plan in the U.K. or elsewhere in Europe, we will definitely be knocking on Planned for Perfection’s door again!

Sincerely,
Jeannie & Jeremy

 

Wedding at Elmore Court

We are very pleased to provide a testimonial. We had the Planned for Perfection “Finishing Touches Service”. Having planned the initial details and arranged the suppliers for our wedding we wanted to be able to enjoy the day knowing that someone had everything under control.

We met with Jane a few months before the wedding day and we instantly knew we had made the right choice. Jane is professional, warm and someone who we knew we could trust with our special day. She was able to understand straight away how we would want things and provided us with suggestions and ideas that we would never have considered ourselves.6 weeks before the wedding we handed all the details over to Jane and we felt a big weight lift off our shoulders.
For us and our guests, the day was truly perfect – any issues that may have arisen were dealt with by Jane without us even knowing about it.
We wholeheartedly recommend Jane and Planned for Perfection – 5* service from a great person.

21st Birthday Party in the Cotswolds

“Jane was the best party planner I ever could have wished for! She listened to every aspect of how I imagined my 21st, then made it reality! Her support, guidance and organisation were AMAZING. I feel extremely lucky to have had Janes help with the party, she made it better than I could have imagined. Planned for Perfection says it all really! My family and I would highly recommend her and hopefully we will be working together again soon!

Wedding at Four Seasons Hotel, Hampshire

Jane
This little note could never express how grateful we are for all that you have done for us! We had so much going on whilst trying to organise the wedding & you were truly a lifesaver. We would never have got this wedding off the ground without you & we honestly don’t know how anyone can plan a wedding without you & your team! You were so helpful in negotiating our venue contract & helping us to find the perfect wedding vendors, always able to cater for our particular needs and tastes, which we know was no easy task!
You thought of all the little things that make a big impact, ones that we never would have considered on our own. Thank you for your time, your talent & for making everything run so smoothly. Michael was sceptical about hiring a wedding planner, but now we are on the other side of this wonderful experience, we know hiring you was the best decision that we made for our wedding. From start to finish you helped us plan the wedding day or our dreams & we will always be grateful to you for that… No one should ever get married without you Jane, you truly are amazing at what you do & we would recommend you to anyone looking for an event planner.

Wedding at The Manor House in Castle Combe

Planning a wedding in England while living in California is admittedly not an easy task. Following my first call with Jane, however, my nerves were immediately calmed as I knew she was exactly the one I needed to help select and coordinate with vendors and organize all the logistics for my wedding day. Not only does Jane have impeccable taste, but she has an inherent understanding of what I wanted and how best to work with me. Her approach to planning reflected my own: enthusiastic yet acutely aware it’s the small details that make an event fantastic. I was also overwhelmed by selecting vendors from overseas, and Jane’s suggestions proved to be absolutely wonderful vendors.
A few days before my wedding I asked Jane a question and she replied: “Of course that is possible. It is your wedding and anything is possible.” I believe that response best summarizes Jane; her genuine desire to make your wedding day perfect and her unrelenting efforts to make sure it happens. On the day of the wedding, we had guests from all over the world who have all told me that my wedding was the best they have ever been to. I attribute this to Jane and will always be thankful for her.”

THANK YOU: “Jane, We cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work leading up to and on the wedding day.  I knew from the first conversation we had last year that you were exactly the wedding planner that I needed!
Really, I am so appreciative and so grateful for all of your help. It was a joy to work with you and I never ever worried for a moment that anything would go wrong with you behind the scenes.
I also loved everyone that you suggested working with and really can’t be happier with how everything turned out.
It really was perfect!

Marquee Wedding in a private manor house in Gloucestershire

Jane was truly a star in ensuring our wedding day went off without a hitch. She worked very professionally at every step of the planning process and worked tirelessly on our big day. Thinking on her feet, improvising and doing whatever needed to be done throughout the day to ensure that everything ran smoothly. EVERYONE sang her praises, from our family members to our chosen wedding suppliers, which simply confirmed what a star she is. We really can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much Jane. xx

Cornwell Manor Wedding 

Dear Jane, 

Where do we start with the thank you? When we first met you, you thought you’d signed up to plan a family home wedding in Hampshire. With lots of changes along the way, you found our perfect venue in Cornwell Manor & were always a reliable, calm & problem solving constant.

To say the day wouldn’t have been possible without you is an understatement & we will always be so grateful to you & your team for helping to plan our perfect wedding in the Cotswolds. Someone asked us recently “so what things went wrong on the wedding day” & honestly we couldn’t think of a single thing, well other than the UK weather which, unless you have some hidden Godly powers, was the only thing out of your control!

Thank you so much for being with us every step of the way. We hope you enjoy this little gesture of our thanks. We love our time at The Pig & hope that you & Mr P4P enjoy it too. 

All our love

N&P 
xx
