Alice Wilkes Design
For Alice Wilkes, a wedding begins with an idea — a story waiting to be told through design, space, and experience. As the founder of Alice Wilkes Design, the London-based planner has built a reputation for celebrations that feel cinematic in scale yet deeply personal in spirit.
With more than a decade of experience producing luxury events across the UK, Europe, and the United States, her work often takes place in remarkable settings — historic estates, architectural landmarks, coastal villas, or private destinations around the world. Each location becomes part of the story. “For every celebration, we love telling a story that feels completely personal from beginning to end,” Alice explains, “from the big decisions like choosing the destination or venue, all the way through to the smallest bespoke details that guests will treasure long after the day is over.”
One of her most memorable projects reflected that philosophy perfectly: a Bridgerton-inspired wedding in London created in collaboration with Netflix. The ceremony took place at Chiswick House, transformed into an English garden setting, while the reception embraced the drama and romance of Regency ballrooms with candlelight, lavish florals, and even a bespoke swan ice sculpture bearing the couple’s monogram.
HILDE
Anné Ladegast-Chiu, the founder of HILDE, approaches wedding planning with the same sense of intention and intimacy that shaped her own love story. Originally from Berlin and now based in London, she spent over a decade in media and production before creating HILDE in 2017 — a studio born from her appreciation for meaningful gatherings, thoughtful design, and beautifully organised moments.
The name HILDE carries its own story. It honours Anné’s grandmother: “The name itself is a tribute to my Oma Hilde, whose gatherings first showed me the joy of bringing loved ones together,” she shares — a spirit of warmth and hospitality that still defines every celebration she plans.
Working across the UK and Europe, Anné specialises in bespoke full-planning for multi-day weddings, along with design and styling services. Collaboration sits at the heart of her process. “I love taking the time to really get to know a couple — their story, their vision, and the little details that make them who they are,” she says. “Collaborating closely on ideas is my happy place.”
Isla & Smith
Lisa Victoria Smith didn’t enter the wedding world through the usual path — and that’s exactly what makes Isla & Smith stand out. Long before planning destination celebrations across Europe, she was shaping visual stories in a completely different environment: luxury fashion. Working as a stylist and window dresser for brands like Harvey Nichols, Lisa learned how atmosphere, composition, and subtle details can transform a space. At the same time, she was studying Chinese medicine — an unexpected combination that gave her a lasting appreciation for balance, energy, and flow.
Isla & Smith has evolved into a full-service planning studio known for high-touch, design-driven celebrations. Lisa works only on complete planning projects, believing that overseeing every stage of the process is the only way to create a seamless experience. “We only work this way to make sure there are no holes in the planning,” she says, explaining the studio’s approach to assembling a carefully curated team for each wedding.
Westacott Weddings & Events
“You should feel like a guest at your own wedding.” That belief sits at the core of Westacott Weddings & Events, the London-based planning studio led by Emma Westacott. Her approach centres on removing stress from the planning journey so couples can fully enjoy the celebration they’ve envisioned.
At Westacott Weddings & Events, there is no fixed aesthetic or “signature look.” Instead, Emma focuses on understanding how each couple loves to host and celebrate. By learning their personal style and values, she creates weddings that feel authentic rather than formulaic. As she explains, “we listen, we learn, and we create truly memorable experiences that are authentic to each and every client.” Working with a carefully limited number of weddings each year, Emma provides a highly personal full-planning service that covers everything from design concepts and vendor curation to budget management and seamless event-day coordination.
Katrina Otter Weddings
Some wedding planners begin with flowers and colour palettes. Katrina Otter began with large-scale global events. After ten years at an international events agency, where she managed complex productions and coordinated extensive teams, she stepped into the wedding world with a very different perspective: logistics first, atmosphere second, and the couple always at the centre.
Since founding Katrina Otter Weddings in 2013, she has built a reputation for celebrations that feel deeply considered rather than overly staged. Her process starts with understanding people — their personalities, priorities, and the feeling they want guests to carry with them long after the weekend ends. “Every wedding begins by understanding who our clients are and how they want their celebration to feel,” Katrina explains. That emotional starting point becomes the foundation for everything that follows.
In Awe Weddings & Events
Emily Stutchbury, the founder of In Awe Weddings & Events, believes a wedding should be more than beautiful — it should be felt. The name of her studio reflects exactly what she hopes guests experience: that quiet moment of awe when atmosphere, music, design, and emotion come together in perfect harmony.
Before entering the world of wedding planning, Emily built a career that was anything but typical for the industry. With over a decade in luxury hospitality and events — combined with a professional singing career that took her across the world — she performed everywhere from weddings in Tuscany to major fashion events like L’Oréal Professional shows in New York. Those experiences shaped the way she thinks about celebrations today: as immersive productions where energy, mood, and guest experience matter just as much as aesthetics.
That perspective became the foundation of In Awe Weddings & Events, which Emily founded to create celebrations where atmosphere takes centre stage. “We believe every occasion should be defined by an unforgettable atmosphere,” she says. For her team, that means thinking about every sensory detail — what guests hear, taste, see, and feel throughout the celebration.
La Fête
Luxury fashion houses rarely expect to influence wedding planning, yet that is exactly where Charlotte Ricard-Quesada’s creative instincts were formed. Years spent working with brands like Dior and Tom Ford shaped her understanding of aesthetics, discipline, and the quiet codes of modern luxury. Those experiences eventually found a new stage through La Fête, the London-based studio where she now designs celebrations for internationally minded couples.
A defining feature of her work is something she calls cultural intelligence. Fluent in English, French, Spanish, and Italian, Charlotte regularly navigates weddings that unite families from different countries, traditions, and faiths. Rather than simply accommodating these differences, she treats them as creative opportunities — weaving multiple influences into celebrations that feel harmonious and authentic.
CALIFANO Destination Events & Design
Over the past twelve years, Jamie of CALIFANO Destination Events & Design has designed luxury destination weddings and milestone celebrations across the UK, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, often in extraordinary settings that require complex planning and large-scale production.
The philosophy at CALIFANO rests on three principles: storytelling, discretion, and precision. Rather than offering standard packages, every collaboration is shaped entirely around the couple and the destination. Multi-day celebrations are particularly inspiring for the team, as they allow a wedding to unfold as a full journey rather than a single moment.
Despite the scale of many of these events, Jamie’s perspective on luxury remains refreshingly grounded. “Luxury is not about excess,” he says. “It is about thoughtfulness, intention and flawless execution.” Behind the scenes, the planning may involve enormous logistical challenges, but the final experience should always feel effortless for the couple and their guests.
Kristina Kempton
Few wedding planners combine creative sensitivity with operational discipline as naturally as Kristina Kempton. Her professional path began in two very different environments — interior design, where visual harmony and spatial thinking are essential, and global investment banking, where she managed complex international events requiring absolute logistical precision. That unusual combination became the backbone of the studio she leads today: design-led celebrations delivered with strategic structure and flawless execution.
The studio operates exclusively on a bespoke full-service model, overseeing everything from venue sourcing and creative direction to financial management, guest logistics, and complete production oversight. Because each wedding involves such depth of planning and design, only a limited number of commissions are accepted each year, allowing Kristina and her senior team to remain closely involved in every detail.
Camilla Boniek Events
“Relax, I’ve got you.” It’s a phrase Camilla Boniek often tells her couples at the very beginning of the planning journey — and it perfectly captures the spirit behind Camilla Boniek Events. Weddings, in her view, should feel joyful and exciting rather than stressful or overwhelming.
At the heart of Camilla’s approach lies human connection. Every couple she works with brings a different story, energy, and set of dreams. Getting to know them, building trust, and guiding them through the journey is what she loves most about the job. “My philosophy is simple: have fun, be easy-going, and trust the process,” she says. Once couples let go of stress and enjoy the experience, the celebration naturally becomes something far more authentic.
The weddings she enjoys most are the ones filled with personality — great music, incredible food, lots of laughter, and an atmosphere where everyone feels relaxed and genuinely happy. Those are the moments that make the long planning months worthwhile.
Angela Mugnai Events
Art, history, craftsmanship, fashion — these are the references that shape the creative world of Angela Mugnai and the events her studio brings to life. Rather than following traditional wedding formulas, her work draws inspiration from culture and design, creating celebrations that feel expressive, layered, and deeply personal.
Her work often resonates with couples who appreciate the intersection of art, architecture, and fashion. Historic settings, artisanal details, and carefully considered design elements frequently become part of the narrative she builds for every celebration. Rather than simply designing a beautiful environment, Angela focuses on creating an emotional experience — one where guests feel immersed in the story unfolding around them.
Studio White
Studio White was launched in 2020 by Kara Keble-White, whose career had already been shaped by fifteen years working alongside some of the UK’s most respected event agencies. That experience gave her a sharp understanding of luxury events — not only how they look, but how they function behind the scenes. Studio White grew from this foundation, blending creative direction with the kind of strategic production that allows complex events to unfold effortlessly.
The studio’s creative strength expanded further with the arrival of Hannah Hill, whose twenty years in the global events industry span film productions, major charity events, luxury brands, and private celebrations across Europe and beyond. Known for her calm leadership and exceptional logistical expertise, Hannah brings a level of operational precision that perfectly complements Kara’s design-driven vision. Together they lead a team known for transforming ideas into beautifully executed experiences.
Matthew Oliver
Connection sits at the centre of everything Matthew Oliver creates. For him, a wedding isn’t simply an event to organise but a story to bring to life — one shaped by the couple’s personalities, the atmosphere of the venue, and the journey that leads to the celebration itself. As Matthew often says, “a wedding never occurs twice as it is a story… your personality brought to life.”
Beyond design and logistics, Matthew approaches every wedding with a strong sense of storytelling. Each element — from venue selection to entertainment and décor — becomes part of a narrative that reflects the couple and the place they have chosen to celebrate. The result is not simply a beautiful event but a carefully orchestrated experience, one that feels effortless for guests while being thoughtfully crafted behind the scenes.
Sarah Haywood Weddings & Celebrations
In the world of international luxury weddings, Sarah Haywood is often regarded as one of the pioneers who helped define the modern role of a wedding planner. Through Sarah Haywood Weddings & Celebrations, she has spent years producing extraordinary celebrations for royalty, celebrities, and discerning private clients across the globe.
Her reputation is built on a rare combination of creativity, precision, and discretion. Sarah approaches every event with the mindset of a strategist and a designer, carefully shaping celebrations that feel both visually spectacular and impeccably organised. Weddings designed by her team often take place in remarkable locations around the world — historic palaces, private estates, luxury resorts, and iconic cultural landmarks — each setting becoming part of a carefully curated narrative.
Pocketful of Dreams
At Pocketful of Dreams, weddings are designed to feel lived-in, joyful, and unmistakably personal. The studio was founded by Michelle Kelly, whose approach to planning blends thoughtful design with a deep understanding of how celebrations actually feel for the people experiencing them. For Michelle, the goal is never simply to stage something beautiful — it’s to create a wedding that reflects the couple’s story in an authentic, natural way.
“We design weddings that feel like home,” Michelle often explains — celebrations where guests feel relaxed, welcomed, and connected from the moment they arrive. That philosophy shapes every project the team undertakes. Rather than following trends, Pocketful of Dreams focuses on creating layered experiences built around meaningful details, thoughtful styling, and a carefully orchestrated guest journey.
