Full Wedding Planning
LET’S START AT THE VERY BEGINNING..
The option for the busy, time poor couple who want to enjoy the process of wedding planning to the fullest! It includes all elements of planning your wedding and I will tailor every element to reflect your unique style and love story.
With full wedding planning you can embrace the excitement of your wedding, confident in the knowledge that every detail is being expertly managed, allowing you to cherish every moment leading up to your special day.
A celebration of this magnitude deserves to be planned and executed by an experienced individual.
The Process and What Is Included?
We will have an initial consultation for me to get to know you both, what you love, what you dislike, your story and the vision you have for your big day. After this, I will create a bespoke proposal that we will agree on together.
From here I will plan every aspect of your wedding for you. From your wedding budget to researching and shortlisting the best venues and suppliers that work for you.
I will attend all wedding meetings with you and you will have me on the end of the phone or email whenever you need me.
I will then of course be there on the big day(s) to ensure ensure everything is set up smoothly and to run the logistics on the day also. Together we will create a day that you and your guests will remember forever.
Ultimately, no two weddings are the same and so I will always create a bespoke proposal based on your needs and requirements. However, our standard fees are 10% of your overall wedding budget.
Please get in touch for a complimentary consultation.
Did you know it takes around 250 to 500 hours to plan a wedding depending on the size and complexity, so ask yourself do you have that time? And what is that time worth for you for a day that you will remember for the rest of your life.
The Investment
-
Whilst all the weddings I work on have the same level of love and beauty, I don’t have one ‘type’ of wedding I focus on.
My weddings are as unique as my couples. My ‘type’ is listening and learning about my couples and delivering an unforgettable day for you and your guests.
-
I am based in West London but I work all over the United Kingdom. Whether it be a ballroom in London or a marquee in a private home in Berkshire I am here to assist. I also speak French so am particularly handy for weddings in France and Morocco!

The budgets we work with for weddings vary and depend on the size, location, duration, guest count and brief. Each of our events and clients are unique so during our first planning meeting we will discuss your ideas and allocate estimated costs to each supplier category to give us a budget to work to when gathering quotes and sourcing suppliers. Some of our clients have a budget that they wish not to exceed, some are more flexible and would like to see what spending a little more will get them and others are happy to pay what is costs to achieve the event brief we have designed, provided we are sensible with the costs. This is an important conversation to have at the start of the planning so we can support you and plan a celebration that works with your spending goals.

I planned my first wedding back in 2015 and started my business back in 2016 before rebranding to Isabel Gray Events in 2024. On top of having my own events business, I have worked in some of the top luxury wedding venues as well as BAFTA and 5* hotels. I have built a wealth and depth of knowledge, skills and industry relationships in order to bring you the most incredible day you could hope for.
-
I plan an exclusive number of weddings each year to ensure I give my couples the time they need and deserve. I typically plan 3 to 5 full wedding clients a year. The relationship I build with my couples is incredibly important to me and not something I compromise on.
-
It is cliché to say I love love but it brings me genuine joy to see my couples love each other.
I feel incredibly privileged to be a small part of my couples wedding day. Weddings are so full of importance, love and emotion and I adore seeing couples make that commitment to each other surrounded by their nearest and dearest. It is so incredibly special.
Guest experience is also incredibly important to me. I have experienced too many weddings that forget about their guests (!) and so I knew I wanted to be a part of making that change.
