We initially booked Laura for our self-catered wedding weekend at Huntsham Court after discovering the huge amount of admin that would be required (our review of Huntsham is available on their page). We were also feeling in need of more local support as we were planning our UK wedding from overseas and could not meet most vendors in person until only a few months before the wedding. From our first meeting, we felt that we were in good hands because Laura was incredibly organized with bullet-pointed minutes of our discussion and clear next steps that would be undertaken by her and by us. We were also reassured that as in-house planner she was very familiar with the specifics of our chosen venue. Since then, she has kept us (mostly!) on track with planning via regular virtual and subsequently face-to-face meetings. She was very understanding of several last-minute changes in meeting times due to my unpredictable work schedule. Her vendor recommendations were very helpful and indeed we went with her recommended florist and DJ, both of which were excellent on the day.
Laura was the calm in the chaotic maelstrom of the night before and the morning of our wedding. She managed our overrunning schedule with aplomb, ensuring that everything still happened in a sensible sequence even if not necessarily in the originally planned order. She managed unruly guests tactfully and smoothed the situation without us knowing it had been a situation until later informed by the mother of the groom. We received so many compliments on how well-run the day was and it was all down to Laura!

Laura was an absolutely incredible coordinator. I initially booked her to help me not stress on the few days leading up to the wedding. However Laura went above and beyond what I could have ever asked of her.
She was so prepared at our venue meeting, asking millions of questions which was initially overwhelming but she covered every single detail of our wedding. She didn't put pressure on us to know all the answers, and helped us think about things that I would never have thought of or considered.
Laura kept us in the loop of any details leading up to the wedding and was always at the other end of an email to answer all of my questions, and kept me from worrying about things that were not in my control.
On the big day nothing was too much from trying to hide alpacas from our guests during the ceremony, to moving tables after the wedding breakfast. If I mentioned something that was on my mind, she either found someone to sort it, or sorted it herself and I genuinely believe nothing went wrong on the day because we had Laura there.

I cannot recommend Laura Dalton/Kept Weddings enough! From our very first meeting, it was clear that we were in expert hands. Laura took the time to understand our vision and every detail was handled with such care and creativity. It is clear she is passionate about creating beautiful weddings.

Throughout the planning process, Laura was incredibly responsive. She kept us updated on every detail and was always available to answer questions or address concerns. Planning a wedding abroad can be extremely stressful but Laura made the process seamless.

The creativity Laura brought to our wedding was truly remarkable. From the floral arrangements to the overall design, everything was beautifully coordinated and exceeded our expectations. Laura had many amazing ideas that truly enhanced/fulfilled our vision of “bringing the outside in”. The moss tablescape was breathtaking and the wood log cake towers were an extra-special touch.

Along the way, Laura provided proposals with multiple vendor options which included a breakdown of cost, what would be provided and examples of previous work. Not only did she help with planning the wedding day, Laura also helped coordinate transportation for us and our guest from the airport to the venue, planned the rehearsal dinner and activities for us and our guest during our stay.
On the wedding day, Laura was an absolute lifesaver. She managed everything flawlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. We received countless compliments from our guests about how smoothly everything went.

Thanks to Kept Weddings our wedding was a fairy tale come true. We are forever grateful for Laura’s dedication, expertise, and passion. If you’re looking for a wedding planner who truly cares and delivers, look no further!

Laura was our wonderful wedding coordinator at Huntsham Court and she exceeded our expectations every time!

Laura was passionate and driven on making our wedding day everything we dreamed it would be, nothing was ever too much for her. We so desperately wanted to get married outside under the Dove Cote and despite the weather, Laura made this happen, she even ran next to me with an umbrella as I was about to walk down the aisle!

Throughout the entire planning process, Laura was calming and had a reassuring presence, which gave us so much confidence. Laura simply went above and beyond and we will never forget her hard work and dedication and would recommend her to anyone who is getting married. Laura truly felt like a friend to us from the very beginning.

Laura, your talent for organizing such a fantastic event truly shines! Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Laura is an incredibly talented lady, who will go literally above and beyond for anyone. She showed kindness, warmth, professionalism, humour and perfected our wedding. I literally could never have imagined it being so easy, but that’s because Laura was behind the scenes sorting every single thing for us. Thank you Laura, I’m eternally grateful. You’re an amazing person and you’ve given us the most magical wedding ever.

We hired Laura as a day of coordinator for our wedding and it was the best decision we made about our wedding day.

We had a video call with Laura and a couple of other day of coordinators before we made a booking. She answered all of our many questions, patiently and professionally. Laura by far gave us the most confidence of all the people we spoke to and that confidence was not misplaced.

She didn't just turn up on our wedding day and do the tasks we asked of her. She helped us make sure we had all the prep done, so that we could execute our perfect wedding on the day. We both felt she really went the extra mile.

She even helped us secure one of our most important vendors (florist) at the last minute when we were struggling to do it ourselves. This vendor also went on to exceed our expectations. I was so in love with our flowers, they bought me so much joy. That wouldn't have happened without Laura's help.

I think if we were to go through the process again knowing what we know now, we would have hired Laura as a full wedding planner. She is absolutely worth the investment.

Laura made sure everything ran smoothly and to plan. Our wedding was very personalized and she was able to execute our vision better than we ever could have. She listened to what we wanted, even the nonstandard things and helped us do that.

We had a blissful, stress-free wedding, which is exactly what my husband wanted from the outset and at the time he did not think would be possible.

If you're wondering if a day of coordinator or planner is worth it, Laura absolutely is. This is your sign to give her a call. We can't recommend her highly enough.

If you’re lucky enough to have Laura part of your wedding day you’re in very good hands.
Despite being a weekend wedding with lots of guests and moving parts organising it felt so simple and stress free. On the day, Laura was just fabulous in all the situations we put her through; unwavering to last moment singing requests and her logical approach and calmness solved our misplacing of rings. She kept the entire weekend running smoothly and I’ll forever be grateful to her for keeping me (the bride) stress free.

We didn't know how much we needed a wedding coordinator until we signed up with Laura. She has been a massive help since the beginning and our wedding day ran smoothly because of her. Looking back, we think a lot of the things could have gone wrong or forgotten if Laura wasn't present. Knowing that we can rely on Laura a few weeks before the wedding and on the day itself has up our minds at ease and allowed us to just be in the moment and celebrate the day with the people we care about and love the most. Thanks for your hard work Laura.

Laura is just amazing! From start to finish she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is so professional, super organised and above all so friendly and easy to talk to. She helped us with every detail of our wedding (including many we would never have thought of!) and was able to accommodate some of our more unusual requests! Our regular planning meetings were so helpful to keep us on track, even when we were not always in the same country! She was there throughout the weekend making sure everything went smoothly and our guests commented on how helpful she was. We absolutely could not have done it without her and she made our wedding weekend unforgettable. Thank you so much, Lindsay & John xx

We recently had the pleasure of working with Laura as our wedding planner and coordinator at Huntsham Court, and I must say, she was absolutely fantastic. Laura ensured that we had the most fabulous day, making everything run so smoothly and effortlessly. It was a stress-free event, and more perfect than I could have ever imagined.

Everyone was incredibly impressed with how seamlessly the entire day unfolded. From the smallest details to the big moments, Laura's coordination was flawless. She couldn’t have been more helpful, always stepping in with her kind assistance and brilliant ideas.

Laura is not only exceptionally skilled but also a genuinely wonderful person to deal with. Her kindness and warmth made the entire planning process a joy. She approached every challenge with a can-do attitude and made us feel completely at ease.

If you're looking for someone with amazing ideas and impeccable execution, look no further than Laura. Nothing was ever too much of a problem, and her dedication to making our day special was evident in every detail. We are so grateful for everything, and we can't recommend Laura highly enough to anyone planning a wedding or event.

Thank you, Laura, for making our day truly magical!

Love Fred & Katie

I contemplated for a long time whether I should hire a wedding coordinator or not. I took my time and looked into different ones. Laura was recommended to me by a lot of people when I asked out.

I spoke to Laura on the phone and discussed what I was looking for. She was super friendly and listened to me very well. I decided she was the perfect fit for me and my partner for our big day.

We finally met her at our venue a month before our wedding. She made me feel at ease as soon as we met. I trusted her with absolutely everything. In fact, I was relieved that I made the decision to hire Laura as I was way in over my head.

I honestly can’t recommend Laura enough, she is absolutely incredible at her job. She knew how much of a control freak I was so made sure she included me in everything, so I knew what was going on. I almost miss her daily emails 😂

The day before my big day she came to the venue and helped us set up, she was there during the rehearsal and even stayed there when we left to make sure all the vendors knew what was going on. On the day, she came to visit me to check in we were all ok! She was there from start to finish and I’m super grateful she was! I could just relax knowing she was there and everyone felt comfortable asking her questions. I felt comfortable saying ‘ I have no clue, ask Laura’ 😂 Laura also stayed till after the party was over and packed most of our stuff back in the boxes, which when I woke up the next day ‘fragile’ I was so grateful for!
I could go on and on!

Laura please know I am so extremely grateful for everything you did for Callum and I. You took every ounce of stress and completely bossed it. Because of you I got to do the fun bits 🥰 If you are thinking about hiring Laura for you big day, DO IT.
Thank you so much for everything.
Love Mrs James xxxx

If you’re not sure whether you need a wedding planner, please just do yourself a massive favour and get Laura on the case. We booked Laura as an “on the day co-ordinator” but this doesn’t nearly cover what she did for us in the lead up to our day.

If I’m honest, I thought we were relatively organised ourselves initially, but there were so many things that that Laura dealt with in the lead up, which we hadn’t even thought about. This meant that by the time the day came, we could just relax, enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about anything.

Laura is such a warm, friendly person and just a pleasure to work with from start to finish. If you want a relaxed day where you can just take everything in without any stress- we could not recommend Laura and her team more!

Laura was amazing with helping us plan our wedding! She has so much knowledge and no question is too small or silly. She was able to provide us with tips and supplier questions that we would never have thought to ask which helped us massively! We ended up using serveral suppliers she recommended and they were incredible.
If you are looking for a wedding planner I would definitely recommend Laura!

My partner and I had a video call with Laura to talk through our abroad wedding and she was fantastic! I was really anxious and stressed about the wedding before our call. Laura went through the day, pre and post wedding celebrations in thorough detail. I couldnt recommended her services enough. There were so many details I hadn't considered until we spoke. If you are looking for advice on your wedding then you 100% need to contact her. If we were getting married in the UK I would have loved her to help plan our wedding. Thank you very much

Laura played a pivotal role in making our 3-day Civil Partnership celebration at Huntsham Court an absolute success!
From the very start, Laura showcased a remarkable combination of thoughtfulness, diligence, and superb organizational skills. She walked us through a detailed event plan, ensuring we navigated potential challenges smoothly. Our entire event unfolded seamlessly, leaving our guests with nothing but positive memories.
The collaboration among our individual suppliers and hired staff was a testament to Laura's behind-the-scenes coordination. This was particularly valuable for us as first-time event organizers. Laura's professionalism shone through every step of the way, and her ability to manage and align all teams was truly commendable.
Laura maintained a perfect balance of professionalism and approachability. Even in the face of last-minute requests, she handled everything with grace and a smile. Working with Laura was not just a business transaction; it felt like a partnership. Entrusting your event to her oversight ensures a level of care and expertise that goes beyond the standard. Highly recommend her for a top-notch event planning experience!
