MY JOURNEY SO FAR…
After completing my Law degree, I found myself drawn to something entirely different—something creative, joyful, and deeply personal. I began my career as a Wedding Coordinator and Event Manager at some of the UK’s most luxurious and award-winning venues, including one named in BRIDES and Condé Nast's Top 100 Venues. Those early years gave me invaluable experience and insight into every aspect found in the world of luxury wedding. After 6 years, I took the leap and followed my dream - launching Vivienne May Weddings & Events.
Now, with over a decade in the luxury wedding and event industry, I approach each wedding with the same excitement, care and meticulous attention to detail. My process is highly collaborative and together we’ll craft a design that reflects both of your personalities, your unique story and the deep love you share. It’s not just about creating a beautiful day (though it absolutely will be), it’s about creating something that feels truly you, timeless, elegant and filled with love.
I truly understand what an important investment it is to bring a professional wedding planner into your lives (and it’s not something I take lightly!) It’s an incredible honour to be trusted with such a personal and meaningful moment and I pour my heart into every single wedding I plan right from the start. I work with a deep sense of pride and dedication, giving each couple my full attention, care, and support throughout the entire journey.
Having had the privilege of working with high-net-worth individuals and international clients, I also understand the importance of privacy and discretion. You can feel completely confident knowing that both you and your wedding will receive the highest level of professionalism and personal care.
As I guide you through the planning process, I want you to feel empowered and in control of your day. My approach is always bespoke, tailored to fit around your lifestyle and preferences, whether you want to be fully involved in every detail or prefer to hand things over and simply enjoy the experience.
I’m incredibly proud to be a recommended planner at beautiful venues like Ashridge House, Kelmarsh Hall and Histon Manor, and to have been featured in some of the UK’s leading wedding publications and blogs. Being named UK Wedding Planner of the Year 2025 by The Wedding Industry Awards was an honour I’ll always cherish but what means the most to me is the trust and joy of the couples I work with.
With Vivienne May Weddings, my goal is simple: to allow you to relax and fully immerse yourself in this once-in-a-lifetime chapter. I’ll be by your side, behind the scenes and beyond; coordinating suppliers, managing the venue, and making sure every single detail aligns with your vision. From the moment we start working together until the very last guest leaves the dance floor, I’ll be there to guide you with calm confidence, so you can soak up the love, laughter, and magic of your wedding, completely free of stress.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME...
I’m a creative through and through - ever since I was young, I’ve loved all things artistic. I studied Art at GCSE and Music at A-Level, and creativity continues to shape so much of who I am. Whether I’m imagining elegant wedding concepts, considering the latest home interiors, or singing along to the latest hits,
I’m also a huge dog lover, some of my happiest moments are spent out in the countryside walking with my dog, soaking in the fresh air and peaceful surroundings. It’s my favourite way to slow down and recharge.
When I’m not working, you’ll probably find me at the gym, discovering the latest fitness trend or sharing a cocktail or two with my closest friends.
I have a soft spot for all things cosy and quintessentially British, especially afternoon tea! I absolutely love exploring different corners of the UK in search of the perfect scone and I’ve even created a list of every tea room I want to visit.
Winning UK Wedding Planner of the Year 2025 at The Wedding Industry Awards was a surreal and incredibly special moment for me. It felt like a beautiful affirmation of everything I’ve poured into this work, my creativity, my passion, and most of all, my heart. Being able to do what I love while building meaningful connections with my couples is truly the dream, and I’m so grateful every single day.
