Bespoke wedding weekends, beautifully orchestrated & designed around you.
A wedding weekend is a collection of unforgettable moments, from the first champagne toast and welcome dinner, to the ceremony, the wedding breakfast, late-night celebrations and a relaxed farewell with the people you love most.
At Vivienne May Weddings, I create and manage exceptional luxury wedding weekends across the UK, bringing together beautiful design, exceptional suppliers, thoughtful guest experiences and seamless logistics to create a celebration that feels entirely effortless.
For couples investing over £100k in their wedding, this is a planning experience designed around the extraordinary as your wedding weekend should feel like an experience, not an itinerary.
You should never feel like the host of your own event.
You should feel like the guest of honour.
A wedding weekend designed around you
When you and your guests have travelled from across the country (or even across the world) to celebrate together, one day simply isn't enough. A luxury wedding weekend gives you the opportunity to slow down, spend meaningful time with your guests and create a series of beautifully connected experiences, each one considered down to the finest detail.
Perhaps your weekend begins with an intimate welcome dinner, followed by cocktails and live music. Then the following day brings your ceremony, an exquisite wedding breakfast and an unforgettable evening of entertainment. And the celebrations conclude the next morning with a leisurely brunch, garden party or relaxed farewell lunch before everyone heads home.
Every element is thoughtfully connected, creating a sense of occasion from the moment your guests arrive until the very last farewell.
Planning a weekend wedding in the UK
No two couples, or wedding weekends, are the same and your planning experience begins with understanding how you want your weekend to feel. Perhaps you envision an elegant celebration at a historic English estate, or a sophisticated London wedding combined with private dining and late-night celebrations, or even a relaxed countryside weekend surrounded by your closest friends and family. Whatever your vision, I will curate every element around your personalities, priorities and the experience you want to give your guests.

CONCEPT & CREATIVE DIRECTION - It begins by understanding your vision, your priorities and how you want your wedding weekend to feel. From there, I develop the creative direction and overall guest experience.

If you are planning a luxury wedding weekend in the UK, I would love to hear about your plans. Begin with a personal consultation and let's explore what your wedding weekend could become.
Let's create something extraordinary...
Planning a multi-day wedding celebration involves considerably more than adding events to a schedule. There are multiple suppliers, venues, menus, guest movements, accommodation arrangements, production requirements and timelines to coordinate, often across several days. My role is to bring all of these moving parts together under one cohesive vision.
With over a decade of experience in the luxury wedding and events industry, I bring extensive industry knowledge, trusted supplier relationships and a calm, highly organised approach to every celebration. Plus I have had the privilege of working with high-net-worth and international clients, with celebrations attended by celebrities and royalty, and have planned weddings at some of the UK's most iconic venues.
Whether you are planning an elegant wedding weekend in the English countryside, a sophisticated London celebration or a private multi-day affair at an exclusive estate, I will bring together the people, places and details required to make it extraordinary.
