MAGIC 🧡
Can we take a moment to appreciate the magic in the details?
I feel so lucky to have met this incredible couple, Jem and Lore. Their wedding day took place in a treehouse… does it get any cooler than that? From the vibrant colors to the amazing people, the palpable love, and yes, the iconic rope bridge, every moment was unforgettable. This day wasn’t just a celebration, it was an adventure wrapped in beauty, and it’s one I’ll never forget ✨🎃 (more pictures to come…. Obviously! 🌲)

REGIONAL FINALIST!🖤
A heartfelt thank you to all our incredible couples who trusted me and cast their votes this year!
I’m beyond proud of how unique and badass my couples are. The wedding industry often overlooks non-traditional, alternative, and minority weddings, so it’s an absolute honor to be recognized for representing them. 🌈✨
And the biggest thank you to my amazing team—these weddings wouldn’t be flawless without you! 🔥
Thank you @twia_official, Bring on the fancy regional awards! 🖤

ROCK N ROLL 🖤
A rock and roll wedding is all about breaking tradition and letting your unique style shine. It’s a celebration that’s bold, authentic, and unapologetically you!
It doesn’t have to mean leather jackets and guitar solos—it’s about embracing your individuality and following what feels right. Whether it’s ditching the typical wedding playlist for your favorite tunes or opting for unconventional décor, it’s all about crafting a day that reflects your vibe. A rock and roll wedding is less about specific aesthetics and more about going with the flow and creating a celebration that’s true to your personality and love story 🤘🏾

ALL THE FUN! 🎀
Your wedding should be as fun and full of joy as Alex and Arron’s was! Look at those faces! 🥹
Working with these two was an absolute blast—from our hilarious GIF-filled chats to the biggest wedding day hugs (and tears). I loved every second of planning with Alex, and I can’t wait to create more unforgettable memories and friends like this! 🥰💍🎀

TIPS… ☀️
Trust each other and design your wedding to reflect YOU!
There’s an unhealthy trend in weddings that pressures you to plan based on ‘what other weddings look like.’
Don’t fall for it.
Plan your wedding in a way that feels authentic and right for you.
Soph and Josh planned just that, perfect for them 🧡🌻

🌼 COUPLE REVIEW 🌼
“Nya Rue Events are the best!
We worked with Laurel and her team for our back garden wedding in June 2024. Planning a wedding at home meant that there were lots of moving parts and Laurel stepped in to provide day-of-coordination to help oversee all our suppliers and to ensure our day ran smoothly.
We couldn’t recommend her more. She was amazing working with everyone, solving any issues that came up, and just making the entire day run perfectly so we could enjoy it. It was such a peace of mind having her there and we’re so grateful for all her help in overseeing our special day. Thank you, Laurel!”
Jay and Olly, thank you for trusting me with your unbelievably beautiful day!🤍
English country garden weddings have a special place in my soul!💐🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼🌹

🧡 COUPLE REVIEW 🧡
God I have some amazing couples! Missing you both!🥹🌼
“Fairy godmother, wizard or superwoman? All of the above!
When we found Laurel, we knew we wanted someone who has an interest in working with unique weddings and having looked at how she’s done her own, we felt she could be the one! Although she’s got her work cut out for her (our wedding was only 6 months away), she had somehow pieced together all our random ideas, venue requirements (to hold the ceremony, wedding breakfast and party at 3 different places!) and introduced us to Leyla who is the most fabulous stylist.
Although there were stressful moments during the planning which we’re sure all couples no doubt will experience, Laurel was a god send and always there to provide reassurance. I particularly struggle to communicate with suppliers as I find the process stressful, so when Laurel took over the comms it was a life saver for all the things that needed to be done and for my mental health of course!
One week after the wedding we’re still basking in the after glow and happiness of the big day and in utter disbelief how smooth everything had gone, where everything was exactly how we wanted and how it was planned! Had we tried to do this just on our own, or gone with a more conservative planner, we don’t think the day could have been just as we wanted and one that suits our personality.
Seriously, if you want something tailored to you as a couple and a planner who’s excited to making your big day happen the way you want it, don’t hesitate to get in touch with Laurel!”

Leyla is my incredibly talented in-house stylist (boujee I know). We thought it was about time to show off Leyla to all of my cool as f*ck couples and all you instagramers ❤️🔥
As well as being best friends, we are lucky enough to now be business partners. There is no one I trust more to make your special day look absolutley magical 🌻✨

BUDGET 💜
The average cost of a UK wedding is £30k 💰
HOWEVER, I have planned weddings from £10k-£100k equally as perfect 💘
Whether it’s an intimate affair or a grand celebration, the magic lies in the details, not the digits ✨
Imagine saying ‘I do’ in a setting so perfect, it feels like a million pounds spent, but with the savvy planning, it’s well within your budget 🫶

SUPPLIERS 🕯️
Another candle reel? Hehe, they’re cute and catch your attention…
Seriously, choosing your wedding suppliers wisely is a crucial decision during the planning process!
I always emphasize the importance of selecting suppliers who resonate with your vibe and truly grasp your vision ✨
Avoid going for the cheapest option or hiring the same photographer your best friend used, or even relying solely on the supplier recommendations from your venue. Take your time and research 🤓
When it comes to my couples, I suggest suppliers that I believe will align with their unique styles and personalities. After all, every wedding should be distinctive, personal, and undeniably awesome! 🖤.

CHRISSY & RYAN 🎥🎞️
I don’t even know what to say about this day.. the whole experience has blown me away!
From being chosen to help plan this incredible wedding to meeting the most perfect couple to having the yummiest meal with the best suppliers ever 🖤
You guessed it…
Christine and Ryan got married in a cinema, a damn cinema! Followed by a bus ride to their wedding breakfast at their favourite restaurant (which tasted so incredible I can’t explain) then a party at their favourite bar!
They did everything THEY wanted to do, no one else. That’s what made this day so special
Thank you so much for trusting me and being you!🖤✨🌙

As a planner, I am always working, always on and people forget that we don’t have a ‘wedding season’. So when you get a beautiful couple giving you kind words or winning an award, it reminds you how worth it every bit is!

💀✨ME✨🔮
I guess I better introduce myself again..
I`m Laurel, your alternative wedding planner. I`m all about breaking the mold and helping couples plan weddings that are anything but traditional. That doesn`t necessarily mean skulls or horror movies (although, we could absolutely do that! 😉). It`s simply about being uniquely you on your special day! 🖤
On the home front, I`m a proud mum of two little girls and a playful son (my springador) and I continue to work part-time with young offenders, which is a cause very close to my heart, it`s a role I couldn`t entirely leave behind. So here`s to combining passions and pursuing dreams - it`s never easy, but always worth it! 👧🏼👧🏽🐾
You`ll often see my partner-in-all-things-life, Tom, by my side during weddings. With his irresistible dad humor and unwavering support, he adds that special touch of laughter to each event. You may also catch glimpses of my exceptional assistants striving to flawlessly execute your special day 💫
Whether it`s an eclectic location or a distinctive theme, I take joy in organising weddings that push boundaries. If you can imagine it, I`m here to help you make it a reality. ✨ Because your wedding should be an authentic representation of YOU! ❤️🔥

Seen enough?
Let’s plan your event
