Meet Emily
Based in Norfolk and planning weddings across Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire for more than a decade, Emily Andrew has built a reputation for creating elegant, thoughtfully organised celebrations that feel effortless from beginning to end.
Whether planning an intimate gathering in a family garden, a weekend celebration on a private estate or a large-scale marquee wedding, Emily combines meticulous organisation with a calm, considered approach that allows couples to enjoy the journey as much as the wedding itself.
Every celebration is different. Her role is always the same: to listen carefully, guide thoughtfully and quietly bring every moving part together with confidence.
Emily works entirely on behalf of her clients and does not take commission from suppliers. Fees are transparent from the outset, and supplier contracts and quotations are shared openly, so recommendations are always based on what is right for your celebration.
Your wedding should feel like you
The most memorable weddings aren't defined by trends or elaborate details; they're remembered because they feel personal.
Emily believes great wedding planning begins by understanding the people at the heart of the celebration. Rather than working to a signature style, she takes the time to understand how you want your wedding to feel, creating a celebration that reflects your personalities, your priorities and the people you love most.
Behind that experience are months of thoughtful preparation, trusted supplier relationships and careful planning, allowing you to feel present throughout every moment of your wedding day.

Over a decade of planning
More than a decade later, Emily and her assistant, Charlotte, work with couples throughout Norfolk, Suffolk and the wider East Anglia region, planning weddings that feel both elegant and deeply personal.
A particular love of marquee weddings
Marquee weddings offer incredible freedom. They also require an exceptional level of planning.
From power supplies and catering logistics to weather contingencies, site access and guest flow, creating a wedding from the ground up demands careful organisation and experienced coordination.
Having planned marquee weddings across Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire for many years, and written a practical guide to help couples planning their own, Emily has become recognised as one of the region's leading specialists in this area.
Whether working with sailcloth marquees, traditional pole tents or bespoke structures, she understands how to transform an empty field into a seamless and memorable celebration.
A recognised voice within the wedding industry
Alongside planning weddings, Emily has become one of the region's most respected voices in the industry. Her experience has led to opportunities including:
· Elite Member of the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners (UKAWP) · Judge for The Wedding Industry Awards · Wedding expert on BBC Radio · Author of The Ultimate Guide to Planning Your Marquee Wedding · Contributor to wedding publications and planning resources
Sharing knowledge has always been an important part of Emily's work. Through her articles, educational resources and published guide, she has helped thousands of couples navigate the planning process with greater confidence.
Rooted in East Anglia
East Anglia is home to some of the country's most beautiful wedding venues, from historic country houses and private estates to coastal settings and sweeping countryside.
Years spent planning weddings throughout Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire have allowed Emily to build trusted relationships with exceptional venues, marquee companies, caterers, florists and creative suppliers across the region.
That local knowledge means every recommendation is based on genuine experience, helping couples make informed decisions with confidence.
