Summer of 2021 we were finally able to have any number (the joy!) at a celebration & Rachel + Charlie got in touch in April that year to say they needed some help to have THE BEST outdoor garden party vibe wedding! And we did - the day literally had it all!

Lots of FUN, in the most beautiful setting, real family get together and make it happen. There was rain (lots!), sun & amazing smoke bomb action. Don’t be afraid of rain on your big day - roll with it! And get some colourful ponchos + last min parasols :)

Modern wedding at home in the back garden. Love it! Thanks for having me coordinate your vision on the day! I got to bring my team too. We had a blast! :) X

Rachel's 5 star ⭐ Google review

When I came up the with the plan of holding our wedding in our garden, little did I know how much I needed Dita’s logistical prowess!
We hired Dita as an on-the-day coordinator but soon extended that to include her full team, as it was clear we needed more help! Dita and her whole team were amazing. Dita has the ability to quickly grasp the concept and just understand what you’re trying to achieve as well as focus on the little touches that really matter.
On the day, Dita and her team smashed it! Navigating uncertain weather (and scenarios for every event - rain, sun, cold….), they quickly sprung into action whenever the weather changed! They also made the place look truly beautiful!!
I could not rate Dita highly enough!

Modern Indian Ceremony Mix Culture Foodie West London Wedding

Check out Lola & Vinay’s wedding day at beautiful Petersham Nurseries. They had a modern Indian ceremony led by Uk’s first female Hindu priest, Chanda Vyas.

It was my very first Indian wedding to coordinate, such a lovely & colourful day. Loved everything about it. The ceremony was only about an hr compared to the normal days of celebrations. We were determined to have it outside - and it was touch and go as the weather was threatening to put a giant spanner in the works. Sometimes you just have to take a chance and it paid off - phew! Great day with so much energy around! :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH for being with us on that day. I know for sure I would have freaked out if you had not been there. You made us feel like everything was under control at all times (which it was!) and you were absolutely brilliant with everyone :) Thank you for being so on board with the whole Indian ceremony at all times. Thank you for being so supportive on the adventure of an outdoors Indian Wedding at the venue, that would not have happened without you! Thank you for keeping in touch with us during the day, always with your amazing positive and calm way, for holding our phones and our nerves. And super thank you for coming to the pub with us.

You were the best help we could have ever hoped for and we could not have done it without you! Lola & Vinay

It’s not every day you end up having tequilas at the bar… after Lola & Vinay’s fab day that’s exactly what we did! :)

The title of this post says it all - this wedding had all that C+W love. Big foodies, gin + beer lovers, you can find these two at one of London’s many street food markets or checking out a new restaurant most weeks! It was such a fun year long planning this fusion wedding, with all the mix of styles, from London street food market, restaurant service food, gin bar, rustic barn with industrial charm vibe. The Cheery Barn provided the perfect setting. X

Nice words from the lovely Claire & Will

“Dita was amazing. From the moment we met her, we were all totally on the same page. We shared a really similar vision, so working with someone like Dita made the planning process a really creative, exciting and enjoyable experience. We totally trusted her throughout the entire process.
She was easy to trust - she made everything so easy, practical and solvable. No idea was impossible or too extreme. She was always aware and sensitive to our budget - often more than we were (appreciated, by the way!) and she genuinely put her heart and soul into our wedding. She is dedicated end to end - no job too beneath or above her. We know this as we witnessed her elbows deep in garbage the day after the wedding (photos to prove...) ;)
Thank you so much to Dita for creating the most unforgettable day of our lives that would not have been one ounce the same without her.”
Will & Claire

VENUE SET UP

The minute we set foot at The Cherry Barn we all knew it ticked all the boxes. Bags of rustic charm with industrial features. A labour of love by the very lovely owners, Mel & Steve. Big thanks to Hire Love for all their help with the furniture, decor & styling help. Rustic Boho charm ceremony with cross back chairs, vintage rugs, pillar candles, & muslin draping. The Cherry Barn garden was the setting for our London style street food market, and the dining area was done in a romantic vintage style with copper cutlery, gold rimmed wine glasses, pink Boho tumblers, modern plates and not one, but three kinds of napkins. Why choose if you like all?

FOOD & DRINK

Claire & Will wanted to bring some of trendy London to the East Sussex countryside in the form of a street food market - we have food stalls, make your own gin bar, fizz, Negroni’s, Aperol spritz & Fuller’s frontier keg as a nod to their west London roots.

When we had our first planning meeting it was at Will’s work. We talked about the food they really wanted and it was clear that actually Will, who is a chef, wanted to design the menu and plan the dishes to make them extra special. Like the sea bass which was the first dish he cooked for Claire. Served on the day complete with picture evidence of said first cooking date. The amazing Peruvian inspired wedding food was made by Will’s work colleagues and guests were treated to a feast of flavours & colours. Yum!

My trusted team came down from London to deliver the food & reception drinks service.
