Weddings By Emily Charlotte

Weddings by Emily Charlotte offers planning from the first concept through to discreet coordination on the day. It is based in Horsham and works mainly in Sussex, Surrey, Kent, Hampshire and Dorset, and further afield, with destination weddings in Italy, particularly Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast and Sorrento.

The service suits professional couples who already have a clear picture of a stylish, modern wedding and prefer their own traditions to conventional ones. Emily Charlotte is the owner and main planner, supported by a small group of hand-picked independent planners.

Planning follows three principles. Communication is regular and plain, with advice given when an idea needs more thought or may stretch the budget. Organisation is thorough, with the planner making suggestions and managing bookings and supplier relationships while the couple keeps the final say. The working relationship is personal, since a couple may work with the planner for anything from 6 months to 2 years.

Couples can speak to their planner directly by phone as well as by email, and messages are answered promptly.

The epitome of professionalism

You are the epitome of professionalism and you guided us through every decision from beginning to end with the patience of a saint. In your calm, collected and gracious way, we never felt that we were carrying the weight of a wedding on our shoulders and we really can't thank you enough for everything you made happen. So many moments of that weekend are beautifully imprinted on our minds - the joy, laughter, celebration - and for all that and more you hold an incredibly special place in our hearts."

Day in Italy absolutely perfect

We booked Emily for our wedding three years before the big day in Italy and we're so glad as she made our day absolutely perfect. From having relationships with THE best vendors out there -including Roberta on the coordination - to managing our budget down to a T, Emily gave us the day we have been dreaming of and more! She is wonderful to work with - incredibly kind, humble and patient. Our guests have said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we cannot thank Emily enough for creating it for us."

Knowledgeable, organised and efficient

Where to begin...thank you for everything ever since our first phone call in 2019! You have been so knowledgeable, organised, efficient and simply the most amazing wedding planner. I know it must have been so difficult with our multiple postponements but you guided us through each step. We really had the most amazing few days celebrating our marriage and are so grateful to you. Looking back at the photos I can't believe how perfect everything was and that was all down to your meticulous planning and advice."

The most magical wedding weekend

Thank you for helping us to create the most magical wedding weekend we could have ever imagined. It was beyond perfect thanks to you! Thank you for everything - the vendor suggestions, the coordination of all our suppliers, the amazing follow through and of course everything you did on the wedding day to make it extra special (and stress free) for us! We hugely appreciate you!"

Super on top of everything

We booked Emily as our wedding planner and couldn't have asked for a better planner. She was super on top of everything from the very beginning. Always responsive to emails and messages. Everything was so stress free because of her! She helped us to find an amazing venue in Italy and super vendors to go along with it. All of the guests commented on how lovely and friendly Emily had been towards them on the day of the ceremony and the day went seamlessly as a result of her efforts. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a wedding planner

Perfect and stress free

The biggest thank you for being the best wedding planner and making our day so perfect. We had the most amazing day, and you most definitely understood the brief! All of the planning felt totally stress free and so did the day, so we really can't thank you enough. Thank you for keeping me calm when I was having a meltdown and not losing patience when we went back and forth a thousand times on the flowers. It really does feel like a perfect dream with memories we will cherish forever!"
