About Me
Hello
I launched Simply Elegant in 2009 to provide down to earth help for professional couples planning their wedding day.
Prior to this I spent over 10 years at senior management level within the retail banking sector. My background has given me a firm knowledge and experience of leading large teams of people to work together and of managing substantial, logistically complex projects, not to mention keeping you within your budget!
Being a highly organised person, I became involved in helping friends with their wedding and then my own. It became apparent that with the pressures of busy careers, juggling family commitments – especially where they are living in different regions or countries, the vast amount of suppliers who must be seen to find exactly what you want and feel confident that it will be perfect on the day was huge, and I absolutely loved every minute of it!
I completed comprehensive training and continue to be mentored by The UK Alliance of Wedding Planners – founded to promote professionalism in wedding planning. I am very proud to have been accepted as a Full Member of the UKAWP, and to abide by its Code of Ethics;
- Respond to enquiries with 48 hours.
- Respect client confidentiality.
- Disclose all suppliers that they have a vested interest in.
- Always pass discounts and/or commission onto the client.
- Ensure their Public Liability insurance is up to date.
- Never give client details to any third party unless for the sole purpose of the wedding.
- Respect copyright of all planners, co-ordinators and related suppliers.
- Represent each client fairly and honestly.
- Use legally sound business contracts with clients.
