1. What does a wedding planner do?

​Wedding planning is about bringing every element of your celebration together with clarity, creativity and intention. From developing your initial concept and managing suppliers to refining the finer details and overseeing your wedding day, we take care of the planning and logistics behind the scenes.

​Our role is to make the experience feel effortless, allowing you to be fully present and enjoy the moments that matter most.

 

​

2. Why should we choose Elliana Events?

​We believe the most beautiful weddings are the ones that feel personal.

Our approach combines thoughtful planning, refined styling and meticulous attention to detail. We take the time to understand your story, your vision and what matters most to you, creating a wedding that feels considered, cohesive and entirely your own.

​

Based in Northamptonshire, we work with couples across the UK to create beautifully executed celebrations with a distinctly personal touch.

 

​

3. How much will my wedding cost?

The honest answer is that it depends. No two weddings are the same, and it is impossible to accurately price an experience before we understand your vision, requirements and priorities.

As a guide, many of the bespoke African weddings fall within the region of £30,000–£50,000+, depending on the scale and level of detail required. Some celebrations may fall below this range, while others may involve a significantly greater investment.

Your overall budget can be influenced by a number of factors, including your venue and location, guest numbers, floral and décor requirements, catering, entertainment, production, audio-visual requirements, photography, stationery and the level of service and expertise involved.
 

​

4. Do you offer wedding planning and wedding design?

Yes. Our wedding planning service includes creative design and concept development, so we can consider how your wedding will look and feel as part of the wider planning process.

This can include your overall aesthetic, colour palette, styling direction, florals, tablescapes, lighting and décor concepts.

Physical décor, production, installation and styling are separate services and can be added to your wedding planning package if required.

​​

​

5. Do you offer wedding décor design and production?

Yes. We offer bespoke wedding décor design and production as a separate service.

We create the design concept and bring it to life through carefully selected décor, florals, styling, lighting and production, tailored to your venue, style and overall wedding vision.

From concept to installation, we manage the process to ensure everything comes together seamlessly on the day.

​​

​

6 .Do I need to book your décor production service if I book wedding planning?

Not at all. Our planning service is completely independent of our décor production service.

Whether we produce your décor or you choose another stylist or production team, our approach to your planning remains the same. You’ll receive the same level of care, creative direction, communication and coordination throughout your planning journey.

Our role is to make sure your overall wedding plans come together seamlessly, whoever you choose to bring the décor to life.

​​

​

7. How far in advance should we book?

​We recommend getting in touch as soon as you have your wedding date and venue confirmed. Ideally, couples enquire 12–18 months before their wedding, particularly for popular dates and venues.

That said, we understand that every wedding journey is different. If your wedding is sooner, please do get in touch — we would always be happy to discuss what may be possible.

​

​

8. Where are you based and do you travel?

​We are based in Northamptonshire and work with couples across the UK.

Whether your celebration is close to home or somewhere further afield, we love the opportunity to discover new venues and create beautiful experiences in different settings.

​

​

9. How involved will we be in the planning process?

​Your wedding should always feel like yours.

We work collaboratively with our couples, guiding you through the decisions that matter while taking care of the details behind the scenes. We provide considered recommendations and creative direction, giving you clarity and confidence throughout the planning journey without allowing it to become overwhelming.

​

​

10. Do you work with specific suppliers and venues?

​We have developed relationships with a wonderful network of trusted suppliers and creative partners. However, we don't believe in taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Every couple, venue and wedding is different, so we carefully consider which suppliers are the right fit for your vision, style and priorities.

​

​

11. Can you help us find our wedding venue?

​Absolutely. Choosing the right venue is one of the most important decisions you'll make, as it sets the foundation for the entire celebration.

We can help you consider venues based on your aesthetic, guest experience, practical requirements and overall vision, ensuring the space works beautifully with the wedding you have in mind.

​

​

12. Can you help us create a wedding that reflects our personal style?

​This is at the heart of what we do.

We believe your wedding should be a reflection of your story rather than a recreation of someone else's. Through thoughtful conversations and creative direction, we curate a design that considers your personalities, preferences and the atmosphere you want to create for yourselves and your guests.

​

​​​

13. How do we begin working with Elliana Events?

​Everything begins with a conversation.

We would love to hear about your plans, your vision and what you are hoping to create. From there, we can talk through how we can support you and which of our services would be the right fit.

If you feel we could be the right team for your wedding, we would love to hear from you.
