Weddings & Civil Ceremonies

With much emphasis on such a big day and with so many venues, services and suppliers in the wedding sector it can make choices very difficult for couples planning to get married with costs escalating to more than they imagined. Not only this but you also have to rely on all of these services and products to provide the quality as promised and to be delivered on time which can only add to the stress leading up to, and sometimes on the special day itself – after all there is no ‘take two’ on this day!

Couples need peace of mind and confidence from the beginning stages through to and on the day to make everything they planned for happen on time, look amazing, taste exceptional and feel outstanding – just as the couples anticipated. These days more and more people break from the traditional way of things especially as gay couples have opportunities to tie the knot now. The special day should enhance towards their personal feelings, tastes and style and reflect towards the couple and not necessarily the guests or family’s love for things. A common trend is for couples to have these occasions at a home or hired ground under a wedding marquee which might not save much money, but can create and tailor the special occasion more under their control. Therefore not restricting yourself to a venues availability and limits, after all you and your guests may wish to celebrate well into the early hours of the morning.

If you wish your wedding to be a success then planning and preparation are the key, however simple or complex you wish the celebration to be. So it is always a good start to write a bullet point list of thoughts and overall spending budget intended. A great start would be to print out our Wedding Checklist.

To give yourself a better idea of what is available and the costs involved it is recommended you browse the web and also attend weeding exhibition and fairs. Even then couples may find all this too much with significant range of products and services with prices varying dramatically.

For couples that need a little help, inspiration, or just simply do not have the time for planning their own wedding or civil ceremony due to busy life schedules, feel comfortable turning over the details to a trained professional. Wedding Coordinators arrange as much or as little as you like, from sourcing recommended suppliers through to designing and creating the occasion from start to finish. All the hard work is already done from knowing what services, suppliers and products are value for money and would only confidently recommend these as they would do a fantastic professional job.

Wedding coordinators have a reputation to uphold and the cost for these services should be free as commission would have been established from these services and therefore costing the clients no extra money. A good wedding coordinator can make all the difference as they are able to offer professional assistance and make sure that everything runs smoothly. Their aim is to be in the background dealing with everything efficiently, so you can confidently relax and totally enjoy the big day.

Here at ‘How Can We Help You? we do all of this and more by going the extra mile offering an incredible attention to detail. With reputable years of experience we give inspirational ideas from the traditional, quirky to simple weddings and civil ceremonies helping clients through the planning stages adhering to time constraints and budgets making the whole experience stress free. We can arrange everything from venues, marquees, invitations and stationary, full wedding catering , budget planning and gift lists, through to the cake design, music and florists. From initial concept design through to the laying of the very last place card, we maintain a high level of excellence, ensuring the wedding day is not only perfect, but exceeds client’s expectations.

We meet clients as often as necessary prior to the big day in order to gain a crystal clear understanding of what is envisaged for the day. Attending rehearsals, liaise with suppliers and the venue ensuring couples that everything is just as they imagined, running smoothly according to schedule with every last detail checked. With knowledge, expertise and creative flair, we work with clients every step of the way, turning their Wedding Day dreams into reality.

 

Testimonials

Thank you for the fantastic food and service on Saturday.
All our guests were very impressed!...they thought the food was great and the staff extremely efficient and friendly without being intrusive. Also many thanks for the way you left the kitchen and the leftovers in the fridge!

Sue Stanley - Daughter’s Wedding - 10th October 2009
Thank you for the splendid day you organised and delivered for Harriet and Roger’s wedding on Friday – a fault free performance.
HCWHY?’s welcome to the bride and groom and guests, with carefully-poured trays of champagne was just as Sarah planned it, and the subsequent pouring from magnums gave the exact effect wanted. Nibbles were excellent: neat, and properly tasty and fresh. The buffet that followed was good in every dish and there was plenty for everyone (and still plenty in the fridge)! Organisation and timing went as perfectly as can ever hoped. You won a large credit balance from me, even before the day, for your determination never to decline to take a call – which I regard as a mark of serious professionals. It keeps your anxious clients calm – no sleep or confidence was lost, I really appreciated that. Leaving everything tidy was another win, with family and house guests just amazed at how quickly and neatly we had been given back our home, you have scored for your industry and I do hope you have scored for your business: I shall certainly not hesitate to give glowing recommendations of you and your company to anyone.
You gave us a day we dreamed of!
With gratitude and admiration - and every good wish.
