Your wedding designed around atmosphere and experience
LUXURY wedding PlannER
Turning instinct into a clear creative direction.
Pinterest can be useful, but my role is to understand what you like about the references you’ve gathered, rather than simply reproduce them. I’ll edit the ideas, draw out the strongest threads and use the venue and season to give the wedding a coherent visual direction.
I’ll introduce possibilities where I see them and say when something feels out of place, while keeping your vision at the centre throughout.
"We didn't have to worry about anything on the day."
"Rachel is just the best! Not only is she just lovely, she's so organised and made sure we kept on track with everything. She was incredibly supportive throughout all our planning as well as on the day itself. Thank you so much - you made our day so special. We could not recommend Salt and Scent enough!"

Some of the best venues only exist for a weekend.
MARQUEE WEDDINGS
The work begins long before the canvas goes up, so that when guests arrive the setting feels completely at home in its landscape – ready for warm days, long nights and celebrations that continue well into the evening.

How the planning unfolds
The process adapts around what matters most to you, while these key stages provide the framework for bringing everything together.
5. DO YOU TAKE COMMISSION FROM SUPPLIERS?
No, I proudly don’t take commission from suppliers. Any discounts secured through my relationships are passed directly on to you, and supplier contracts and invoices are issued in your name so you always have complete transparency over the costs.
4. MY PARENTS WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THE PLANNING TOO. IS THAT OK?
Of course. I regularly work with parents and other family members throughout the planning, and I’m very happy to include them in the conversations you’d like them involved in. However, any final decisions will always come back to you first.
3. CAN WE STILL BE INVOLVED IN THE DESIGN?
Absolutely. Your ideas are where the creative direction begins. I’ll help edit and develop them, introduce possibilities you may not have considered and make sure the overall design works with the venue and setting. You can be as involved in that process as you’d like to be.
2. HOW MUCH DOES A MARQUEE WEDDING COST?
There are a lot of variables with a marquee wedding, including the style of marquee, guest numbers, site access and build requirements, as well as where you choose to prioritise your budget. With years of marquee experience, I can usually give you a realistic ballpark during our initial discovery call before looking at the site in more detail.
