Did someone mention a wedding? We absolutely love planning a great wedding!

Queen Bee to the Rescue
You may have already started planning your wedding and are now feeling rather overwhelmed with the amount that’s on your ‘to do’ list! If this sounds familiar, we can come to the rescue, pick up the pieces and sit down with you and provide an action-plan to alleviate those worries. We’re the experts and are happy to assist with any outstanding items on your wedding list and advise accordingly. We work with many first-class wedding suppliers in the area and are happy to take control of absolutely everything on your behalf. You may also find that your spend is spiralling out of control at this point, so we can assist with cost cutting and alternative options. We’re available too to help on the big day itself with deliveries, catering, styling, table layout and seating plans – it can be highly embarrassing if a guest has been missed off the list and this, believe me, does happen at even the smartest of events.
Buzzing Around
You may just require help with sourcing some reputable and professional suppliers in the area. With our little red book of award-winning professionals to call on, we are happy to organise anything for you, including venue sourcing, catering, cakemaking, photography, floristry, wedding car hire or props, saving you time and money.
Queen Bee for a Day
…is our on-the-day wedding management package. We believe everyone deserves to enjoy their wedding day without having to worry about a thing, so we’d love to be there for you to ensure everything is absolutely spot on. Even if we haven’t been involved in planning your wedding, you may welcome having our assistance on the day, especially if the venue you have chosen has no dedicated wedding planner on site. We can meet with you prior to your big day to go through all your plans and to make a detailed check list of your suppliers. You really don’t want the hassle of setting up the venue, taking deliveries, or ensuring the tables and seating plan are correct. Let us take the strain, leaving you free to enjoy the day with your friends and family.
Let us help you create that perfect day.

We searched all over the East Midlands area for the perfect venue for our recent outdoor wedding and when we came across Buckminster Park and Lakeside, we looked no further. It’s the most romantic and private setting and one that our guests were talking about for weeks after. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue, and the support we received from our event manager, Deborah, made our planning stress free and perfect in every way!
Thank you so much

'We engaged Debbie's services to support us in organising our daughter's wedding at the Lakeside, Buckminster in July 2021. Throughout what can only be described as an extremely challenging time due to the pandemic, Debbie was consistently professional and supportive, ensuring we could plough on with confidence in the knowledge she was on hand with solutions as the situation evolved. She was a pleasure to work with, never anything short of good humoured and cheerful and on the wedding day itself, was instrumental in checking on the final details and greeting our guests. We have no hesitation in recommending her and wish her all the continued success she thoroughly deserves.

We had the pleasure of meeting Debbie when my husband and I hired out Buckminster Barn as our wedding venue. From the moment we met her she was so warm and welcoming! We hired her to help us plan and to oversee our wedding day to make sure things went smoothly and she made us feel at ease at every step. I don’t know how much I would have panicked on the day if we didn’t have Debbie there- she totally kept me sane! Without a doubt I would recommend Debbie to anyone and we cannot wait to have another big family party so we can hire her again! Thank you Debbie! Xoxo

Debbie is the best wedding coordinator we could ever have wished to have! Her communication in the build up to our wedding (even during our 3 covid postponements!) and she always got back to our emails and calls quickly.
On the day Debbie was a Wedding Angel! She sorted everything out and made sure our vision came to life. She is so friendly and calming and we trusted her completely. We would 100% recommend Debbie to anyone planning their wedding!!
Thank you so much Debbie! Xxx

Debbie was fantastic right from the moment we made contact online to help us on our wedding day, she had lots of ideas and remained calm and helpful every step of the way. She was friendly, enthusiastic and professional whenever we needed some extra support. Everyone needs a Debbie !!
Clare Andrews
Debbie has been an absolute joy to work with throughout our wedding. From planning months before and on the day. No task was too big or too troublesome. Throughout the planning Debbie was responsive and helpful to all our queries. On the day she really went above and beyond to make sure all the little touches were in place and the guests were enjoying the day. Debbie really gave us peace of mind during the whole wedding.

Deborah is just the loveliest. She is friendly, highly organised and makes you feel at ease and that everything is under control! She helped me on our wedding day and ensured everything was in the right place at the right time and it took a huge weight off my shoulders. I strongly recommend her services!
