About

Hello from Natalie, Laura and Ross.

We are an award-winning wedding service renowned for our one-to-one specialised childcare, designed for you, the wedding couple, on your special day. From the early morning preparations, our comprehensive service ensures your child is ready for the day ahead. This includes accompanying them to the ceremony, assisting with their roles as flower girl or page boy, and providing support as they walk down the aisle if required.

Throughout the day, our unwavering dedication ensures your child feels comfortable, happy, and engaged. We help with photographs, manage meals and snacks, and keep them entertained and involved in the celebration. During pivotal moments like the wedding breakfast and speeches, we provide continuous support to prevent boredom and ensure they don’t miss any memorable moments.

We recognise the importance of your child’s routine, closely adhering to their schedule, including nap times and bedtime routines. Our experienced team handles everything from nappy changes to bottle feeds with expertise and care.

What Sets Us Apart

Our services extend into the evening and overnight, offering continued care until you or another family member is ready to take over. We can also help with breakfast the following morning, ensuring an easy transition as you continue to enjoy your wedding celebrations. With our dedicated attention and personalised care, you can relax knowing your child is in capable hands.

With over a decade of experience in childcare, we come fully equipped with essential qualifications and expertise. Our credentials include comprehensive DBS checks, full insurance coverage, training in safeguarding and paediatric first aid. We are skilled at engaging with children of all ages, including newborns.

Our Unique Approach

We are not a creche service. While creche services are great for entertaining children in a designated area, our service is uniquely special. We pride ourselves on providing individualised attention through one-on-one childcare, ensuring each child is fully engaged and present throughout your special day.

By assigning a nanny to each child, we cater to their specific needs and preferences, promptly addressing any concerns. Whether a child needs a quiet space to relax or is enjoying the celebration, our commitment is to support you and your children throughout the day, adapting to your schedule and needs.

Understanding Your Concerns

At The Wedding Nanny, we understand that entrusting your child to someone new, especially on such a significant occasion, can be daunting. Rest assured, we offer more than just babysitting services; we create an unparalleled, luxurious experience for your children.

Imagine a dedicated team of professional nannies, each carefully selected for their expertise, warmth, and genuine love for children. Our nannies are not merely supervisors; they are experienced caregivers who prioritise your child's safety, happiness, and well-being.

As a small, personal business, we do not hire agency workers. Our team takes the time to understand your child’s preferences, routines, and special requirements, ensuring they feel comfortable and cherished throughout the wedding day.

Let’s discuss how our award-winning service can make a difference on your special day.

Wedding Nanny were amazing!

I really debated whether or not we needed to spend extra money on a nanny at our wedding for our 2 year old son - because his whole family were going to be there as part of our big day and promised to help look after him.

I decided to hire Natalie after spending many hours lying awake worrying about how we were going to manage the juggle on the day, and whether or not someone would always be watching Finley.

I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. Rob & I were able to have our ceremony and vows read without interruption & Finley enjoyed himself so much with Natalie that he barely came looking for us - allowing us to really be present with our guests.

We all loved her & would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Amazing! 5 star!

Cannot rate this team enough! From videos prior, to an in depth call, to how helpful Natalie was throughout the day and our really cute picture and card after. Natalie is much much more than a wedding nanny. Our clingy 9month old took to her immediately and he had so much fun. Natalie was just AMAZING! It was the best money spent at the wedding, worth every penny and more. Natalie always put our son’s needs first, whilst going above and beyond, for example seeing opportunities where we could have pictures together or a quiet cuddle. Every person at the wedding spoke about how fantastic she was. I honestly can’t say enough positive things. Thank you thank you thank you!!! If you are in any doubt, don’t be, our only regret is not booking Natalie for our second day celebrations - our son genuinely missed her when she had gone. We will be forever grateful for everything you did for us, thank you so much!

Incredible!!!

From the initial booking with Gemma to the wedding day with Laura, the whole experience has been amazing. Gemma was fab in answering any queries and helping to keep our minds at ease in preparation for the big day! She arranged for Laura to record a video for our daughter which I could play to her in the run up to our wedding so she was familiar with Laura's voice and nothing was too much trouble.
Laura was absolutely incredible on the day, as soon as we handed over our daughter we were able to instantly relax and really enjoy our wedding day. Our daughter was so happy and content with Laura and it all helped to make our day that extra bit special!

We will be forever grateful for everything you did on Saturday and cannot recommend them enough ... worth every penny!

The wedding nanny is an absolute must for couples with young children on their wedding day!

We want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional care Natalie provided to our son, S, during our wedding day. Natalie's dedication to ensuring S's comfort, happiness, and safety allowed us to fully enjoy every aspect of our special day without any worries.

From the moment Natalie stepped in, it was evident that she not only understood our routines but also went above and beyond to make sure S felt loved and included in the celebrations. Her support with breastfeeding, bath time, and attention to S's needs throughout the day were hugely appreciated.

We were overwhelmed by the number of guests who commented on how amazing Natalie was with S, and it meant the world to us to see him thriving under her care. Natalie's presence allowed us to be fully present in the moment, knowing that S was in the best possible hands.

We cannot thank Natalie enough for her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for children. She made our wedding day even more magical, and we will forever be grateful for the memories she helped create.

We also extend our gratitude to Gemma for her excellent communication and support throughout the process. Her responsiveness and attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to focus on the wedding prep without having to chase up any emails!

The best thing we did for our wedding.

We booked the Wedding Nanny for our wedding day and decided to extend from the night before to the following day. Natalie and Laura were both amazing, they took such amazing care of our son, even changing his outfits for the ceremony and reception. Nothing was too much trouble and it gave us so much reassurance knowing that our baby was being looked after, allowing us to fully enjoy our day. We are so thankful for making our wedding really special. Thank you wedding nanny!

The Wedding Nanny - the absolute best!

How do I give more than 5 stars?! If you’re planning a wedding or know someone that is, for goodness sake do yourselves a favour and get the Wedding Nanny onboard. This was quite literally the best investment of the entire day. I got in touch with The Wedding Nanny in the run up to my sister’s wedding. With the bride’s 1 year old and my 20 month old on the scene we realised that we would need ‘an extra pair of hands’ on the day and the evening/night… fast forward to the actual day and genuinely we would have been lost without the fabulous Natalie and Laura. They enabled the bride to be just that, a bride. She was able to get ready without (much loved) sticky hands making a grab for her, soak up the day and have precious moments with her new husband. For me (a single mum) I had the gift of being right by my sister’s side before she said “I do” and having a lovely and very rare day off 😊. It’s fair to say that we had massively underestimated how busy the actual day of the wedding would be, and so the guidance that Natalie and Laura provided in preparation was absolutely invaluable. They worked with through the schedule for the day and helped to find the perfect balance for our babies in terms of being included but also maintaining their routine. They thought of everything, were full of helpful suggestions for managing key moments during the day and asked the questions we hadn’t even thought of. The result was lovely moments with the children throughout the day, but most importantly happy, settled and content babes (as well as parents!). This the magic of the Wedding Nanny; they know children and they know weddings. The combination is priceless. As for Natalie and Laura - there aren’t enough words. They didn’t just provide a service, they became a part of the family for 24 hours. They are absolutely incredible. Highly capable and experienced, warm, kind and very fun… We felt immediate trust the moment we met them. I didn’t know how my little girl would react to being away from me but she waltzed off with them and was clearly having such an amazing time that I genuinely didn’t worry about her once or feel guilty that I didn’t have her with me the whole time. My nephew was just as happy, and footage from their tea time kitchen disco made us wonder who was actually having the better party…! Thank you so so much for looking after our little cherubs and being such an integral part of a brilliant day!

The best thing we organised for our wedding

So happy we booked The Wedding Nanny (Natalie) for our recent wedding to look after our 12 month old. Our little boy loved Natalie from the first time he met her and she made my husband and I feel completely at ease knowing he was being so well cared for. In our opinion, she didn’t just “look after him” she genuinely took time to get to know him and his likes and dislikes. She took the hassle away and provided his meals and snacks and I think he actually missed Natalie for a couple of days after our wedding. So many of our family and friends commented on how fantastic she was and what a good idea it was to have Natalie with us on the day. Thank you so much!

Wonderful nanny for our son

We loved The Wedding Nanny - our nanny for the day, Ross, was incredible, and the whole experience of hiring and planning was wonderful. When our plans changed last-minute and we needed to find a babysitter for a wedding from abroad, Gemma was amazingly helpful in coordinating and answering all my questions. We were so glad to have Ross come for the whole day, and she brought a wealth of great toys, lovely ideas of things to do, and tons of experience with children! She even managed to get our jet-lagged toddler to take a nap and go to bed on-schedule, which I hadn't managed the whole trip. I would hire The Wedding Nanny again in a heartbeat and would strongly recommend them to anyone else looking for a nanny.

Outstanding!!

We had Laura to look after our daughter for 2 days over our wedding. Laura send Lottie video messages and had video calls before the wedding. Lottie was super excited to meet Laura. Laura was amazing with Lottie, with our guests and made our wedding so enjoyable for us. We did not have to worry about Lottie at all. Lottie had the best time!
My husband and I, along with our family's and guests were blow away with Laura's professionalism, care for Lottie and cheerful disposition! Could not recommend them enough!!!! highly recommend!

Outstanding

We are blown away with the service we received from Natalie and Laura. They were so kind to our boys, provided a calming atmosphere for them and built trusting relationships within a short space of time. They provided help and support at appropriate times yet also allowed our boys to be part of our special day. They were always ready to jump in when needed. Lots of our guests commented how wonderful they were. We are truly thankful, Aimee & James🤍

Everyone needs a Natalie at their wedding!!

Where do I begin…from the moment we contacted Natalie we knew we needed her for our wedding. From the very start, Natalie’s communication was fantastic. She sent several personalised videos to our son which helped him understand who she was. Our son can be tricky to separate from us, but my goodness- we couldn’t keep him away from Natalie! She bought a trolly full of toys, food and presents for him. We felt so comfortable knowing that our son was in such safe hands. Natalie is so professional and has such a lovely warm energy about her. Our son now thinks we (his parents) are incredibly boring after having so much fun with Natalie.

We HIGHLY recommend the Wedding Nanny!!

Amazing amazing amazing!

We recently used The Wedding Nanny and they did not disappoint at all! With all the stress of wedding planning and logistics of the day, our main concern was working out what the day would look like for our nearly two year old daughter. Then we found our guardian angel aka Nanny Laura. From the absolute beginning Laura fit in to the day seamlessly, our daughter loved her straight away! She had absolutely everything and more to entertain our daughter for the day and we felt completely at ease with her.
We had a lot of comments from our guests asking if Laura was part of the family and the way she interacted with Aubree was so lovely and they just seemed to be having so much fun with each other all day! Even if we HAD to fault her, we couldn’t. We’d recommend this service to anymore, our day was made even better knowing that our girl was in great hands and we could enjoy our day as a newly married couple. We can’t thank you enough!!

5 Stars is not enough!!!!!!

Professional and amazing. Just some of the feedback from our guests. It is hard to put into words how much The Wedding Nanny helped us on our day. We are forever grateful for your skill, friendly Ness, adaptability and honesty.
We have never used a Nanny service or even left our children with anyone but family. I was a little nervous but the communication before our big day was professional and designed perfectly to help support us and our children. They gave me faith to trust them with my children.
Meeting the Nanny's on the day went smoothly because of this and the Nanny's were amazing at interacting with my children.
I felt so assured in their safety and whereabouts throughout the day. When multiple people are looking after your child you cannot help but keep one eye on them incase somewhere in the cross over they get missed or they walk off somewhere unsafe. The wedding Nanny gave me the security that someone had an eye on them the whole time. It allowed me to let go and really embrace my day.
My children were able to interact with everyone and experience as much of the day as they wanted and none of my family had to miss parts of the day to take care of them.
We were given updates throughout the day and a thorough hand over.
The wedding Nanny's were friendly, polite and skilled to handle all situations. My children were happy, fed, warm and involved in the day.
I have no criticism or constructive feedback as they came with everything and thought of things we had not.
I highly recommend
Thank you for being a huge part of our day!

The best addition to the wedding

I honestly can't sing your praises enough. Your help on my sister's wedding day for my little boy and 2 nieces was invaluable. From the initial contact and gathering more information than even I could think to give, to the end of the wedding night, our little one fast asleep and all our bottles washed you were such an asset.

The wedding nannies were professional, flexible and a calming presence. The balance of including our son in the festivities and giving him a break/ attending to his needs was perfect ❤️ the 3 little ones all have completely different schedules so having 1:1 care was so important.

It was the first time we have left our 5 month old with anyone and O warmed up so quickly to you (Natalie) which is a credit to you. Having the wedding nannies made the day for us, it meant I could be there for my sister (the bride) and completely switch off and let my hair down, because we knew O was in safe hands, not many people know how much that means to a mum.

If you're considering hiring the wedding nannies for your wedding, you should without a doubt say 'I Do' you won't regret it.

By far the best idea we had ! Outstanding service

Laura, Natalie and Gemma were the best investment at our daughter's wedding. With two daughters , one the bride and one the main bridesmaid and three under twos between them we knew they would things could have been difficult Outstanding care and support for my three very young grandchildren. The girls were very present but at the same time had a wonderful professional style of blending discreetly into the background ( very hard to explain). The three children were so happy all day, and so well behaved , this I feel was down to the fact the three nannies were able to fulfil all their needs like naps, feeds, nappy changes, entertainment etc. The one on one focus and calmness gave them a lovely environment amongst the bustle of guests and noise. My daughter's were both relaxed and felt confident that the children were being so well cared for as Laura, Gemma and Natalie communicated regularly with them and when they needed their children for photos or just time with their children they magically arrived as I suspect each nanny was "reading ' mums cues. Absolutely highly recommend these lovely ladies. So much more than just babysitters/minders, they are like another level and feel.like part of our family.
If anyone has any hesitation about using this fabulous service I would be happy to answer any questions.
