We had a wedding to be planned in less than 8 weeks- Fiona helped us to plan it. Im so happy we made the right decision! We had the most special wedding, everything I had imagined and more extravagant. I was stressed out and never thought it could be so perfect.
Fiona is well organised, very down to earth and super professional, shea been such a pleasure to deal with! Under such time constraints, Fiona lead us along to get through all the tedious decisions of details to make ensuring we met all the deadlines needed. (And I definitely wasnt one of those who made decisions easily for things

Fiona fractured her left knee at our wedding ceremony, hid it from everybody and continued working throughout the night till the very very end. She powered through the pain to ensure me and my now husband have the best wedding day ever. Now if that doesn't make her the best wedding planner I don't know what does.
Fiona has exquisite taste, and… just like me she has a rolodex of not only professional and competent vendors to work with, but also people who are pleasant and friendly to make sure this otherwise stressful planning process is packed with friendly people. If you give Fiona a task

We absolutely love working with Fiona. She is so professional and is always exceeding expectations. Fi is always so passionate and dedicated to every wedding and her couples always rave about her. She helps us to do what we do best -take photos and capture the day while she runs around behind the scenes.
