After many months of discussion we finally decided on a marquee wedding. However, both our jobs require a huge amount of overseas travel so we knew that we were going to need a little help with the organisation.

On carrying out an Internet search for wedding planners in the Cheltenham area, and after reading many testimonials, we decided to contact Ruth to discuss how she would be able to help us. From the outset Ruth was incredibly flexible and willing to arrange meetings at short notice due to our inflexible work schedules. She had plenty of creative ideas and all the supplier contacts which we were lacking.

Ruth took on all the coordination with the marquee company, caterers and ceremony venue as well as taking full control of elements such as the cake, decorations, guest book, invitations and order of the day. She created some of the most unique elements of the day and was always on hand to give much needed advice.

Ruth was an invaluable part of the wedding organisation and our wedding simply would not have been as special or run as smoothly if she had not been a part of it. Having Ruth on board took out all the stress of the wedding leading up to it, but most importantly on the day itself. She takes care of absolutely every single element of the day leaving the bride, groom and their parents to relax and enjoy themselves.
