Services
Hiring a wedding planner in London, UK
What a local planner can help with
Ask a planner about work in the area, languages, supplier relationships, and the tasks they can handle. Compare that scope with what your venue coordinator includes.
What to budget
Ask whether the fee is fixed, a percentage, or based on services. Confirm travel, taxes, extra events, supplier commissions, and payment dates.
Questions to ask before booking
How many weddings have you planned in this specific area? Do you handle legal paperwork and permits? What's your vendor network like? Will you be present on the wedding day? How do you handle communication across time zones? What's your contingency plan for weather or vendor no-shows?
When to book
Contact planners early if you want help finding the venue. If your venue is booked, explain which decisions you have made and where you need support.
Two different jobs go by the same title here
The planners on this page take two quite different briefs. One is a wedding in or near London, where you are hiring local knowledge: the venues, the register offices and the suppliers. The other is a wedding held abroad and run from London, where you are hiring someone to manage a venue, a caterer and a registry in another country and often another language on your behalf. The second brief needs different evidence. Ask how many weddings they have run in the country you have chosen, who their named contact at the venue is, whether they travel for the wedding week or only the day itself, and what happens to the fee if you change country. Someone excellent at one of these is not automatically the right hire for the other.
What working in more than one language actually covers
Ask which languages a planner works in, then ask what that covers, because the range is wide. Reading a supplier contract, negotiating on a call, running a rehearsal for guests who share no common language, and sitting with you at a register office appointment are separate skills, and a planner may have some of them and not others. For a ceremony with readings or vows in two languages, ask who writes the order of service, who briefs the officiant, and whether a translator is a cost you carry. Settle it before you book rather than in the week before the wedding.
What marrying in England requires, and the timetable it sets
For a wedding held in England, both of you give notice in person at a UK register office at least 29 days before the ceremony, and the ceremony must be led by a licensed officiant at an approved venue. American couples also need a Certificate of No Impediment from the United States, apostilled, which normally takes four to six weeks, alongside passports, certified birth certificates and divorce decrees where they apply. US citizens can enter the UK without a visa for stays of up to six months. That notice appointment is the fixed point in the schedule, so ask any planner you shortlist whether booking it is their job or yours, and confirm the answer before you hold a date. Many American couples marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony here instead, which takes the paperwork off the timetable altogether.
What the day costs before the planner fee
Aisle's cost index models venue and catering for 80 guests in the United Kingdom at $5,800 to $10,700, on a per-guest band of $65 to $110, with a ceremony fee of $600 to $1,900 and guest lodging at $115 to $230 a night. The index normalizes every country to US dollars. These are modeled per-venue estimates across the 49 United Kingdom venues on Aisle, generated 2026-06-27, not quotes and not figures from booked weddings, and they describe the United Kingdom as a whole rather than London on its own. A planner's fee sits on top of all of it and is quoted separately, as a fixed sum, a percentage or by service.
