Planning your wedding should be almost as much fun as the big day itself, but with the average wedding taking in excess of 250 hours to organise and involving more than 20 different suppliers, many couples find they become so exhausted by never-ending task lists, anxious about spiralling budgets and overwhelmed by the sheer number of decisions, big and small, that they stop enjoying the planning process.
According to a study by Mercure hotels, one in six people surveyed said they had experienced a major bust-up with their partner over wedding plans and 60% of couples surveyed said they had fallen out with family and friends over their wedding plans. As quoted in The Mail Online, Melissa Micallef from Mercure hotels commented that "This research shows that couples often lose sight of their own dreams for their special day in trying to please other people. Having a professional to take care of the planning details alleviates a lot of that stress".
Snapdragon Weddings can save you time by researching venue and supplier options and dealing directly with your chosen suppliers and we may even be able to negotiate discounts on your behalf. Having a planner on board means you can enjoy the fun part of wedding planning – making all the decisions and enjoying seeing your day taking shape - but without the time consuming and stressful legwork!

We will work with you, to create the day of your dreams. We do this by getting to know you as a couple and ensuring that we have a detailed understanding of exactly how you envisage your day.
We are happy to have as much or as little involvement as you would like. The one thing we won’t do is make any decisions on your behalf. ‘Your day, your way’ is our company philosophy and this is exactly what you will get when you choose Snapdragon Weddings.
There is no need to make any decisions about your big day before talking to a wedding planner. In fact, the sooner you start talking to us, the sooner we can start helping you save time and money! Snapdragon Weddings is able to help right from the start - creating a timeline, setting a budget and researching venue options. We can even help with creative input if you are struggling to get started.
We only take one booking for Full Design & Coordination per day and like many other wedding suppliers we can get booked up well in advance, so it is advisable to book your date as soon as you can!
Absolutely not! We are happy to get involved at any stage, whether it’s stepping in to help you find a specific supplier or offering some advice to get you back on track when you have run out of steam. We are also able to help you during the final run up to the day itself, confirming and coordinating with your suppliers, creating a wedding day itinerary and ensuring that every little detail is taken care of.
We will recommend the suppliers that we feel are best suited to your requirements, style of wedding and budget but the final choices are all down to you. We will work with any suppliers you have chosen with our usual high standards and level of professionalism.
We recognise that your wedding is unique and our listed options may not cover your exact requirements. We would be happy to discuss creating a completely bespoke option for you - please contact us with your requirements.
We generally work in Wiltshire, Somerset and Avon, covering the cities of Bath, Bristol and Swindon and their surrounding areas. If you require our services outside of this area, please contact us to see if we are able to help you.
