Your Festival Wedding, Planned to Feel Like the Best Weekend of Your Life

If you want a wedding packed with energy, personality and unforgettable moments, a festival‑style celebration is the perfect fit. Tipis, marquees, food trucks, live music, glamping villages. Whatever your vibe, I bring it all together with creativity, precision and serious party energy.

With 13 years of experience and more than 250 weddings delivered across the UK, I handle every moving part. Venues, suppliers, styling, logistics, timelines, power, lighting, catering, entertainment and on‑the‑day coordination. You get the freedom to celebrate. I take care of everything behind the scenes.

Festival weddings are full of magic, but they are also complex. Generators, guest flow, multi‑day schedules, after‑dark lighting. I make sure every detail works smoothly so you can enjoy the weekend without limits.

What’s Possible for Your Festival Wedding

Festival weddings give you freedom. You can build a celebration that feels bold, joyful and completely personal.

Here are some of the elements our couples love:

  • Tipis, sailcloth tents and marquee villages
  • Glamping areas and guest camping
  • Food trucks, open air kitchens and elevated feasting       experiences 
  • Live bands, DJs and roaming performers
  • Glitter bars, statement decor and immersive styling
  • Fire pits and chill‑out lounges
  • Sunset ceremonies and after‑dark lighting
  • Multi‑day schedules and weekend‑long celebrations

Your festival wedding can be wild, refined, colourful or atmospheric. I help you shape every detail so it feels unmistakably yours.

    Wedding Questions

    Have questions? You’re not alone. Here are the most common things couples ask, thoughtfully answered to guide you through a seamless wedding planning experience with One Curious Dream.

    • Where do you plan weddings?

      Recognised as one of the UK’s leading independent wedding planners, I create and orchestrate weddings for couples worldwide, turning each celebration into a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

    • What type of weddings do you plan?

       

      For full-service planning, I recommend securing your date 12–18 months in advance. This ensures access to the best venues, suppliers, and design opportunities while giving us ample time to craft a truly extraordinary celebration.

       

    • When should we book you?

      For full-service planning, I recommend securing your date 12–18 months in advance. This ensures access to the best venues, suppliers, and design opportunities while giving us ample time to craft a truly extraordinary celebration.

    • How many weddings do you work on each year?

      Planning a wedding takes time—on average, between 250 and 450 hours—so I intentionally limit the number of signature planning clients I work with each season. This ensures every couple receives the time, attention, and dedication their celebration deserves.

      Many of my clients are busy professionals, managing demanding careers, family life, or planning from overseas. That’s why I offer a highly personal, client-focused approach, with a flexible range of services tailored to suit your lifestyle and needs, wherever you are in the world, and whatever stage you’re at in your planning journey.

    • We're not based in the UK, can you help us?

      Absolutely. I work with couples from around the world to create weddings across the UK. From planning remotely to managing local suppliers and logistics, I ensure the experience is seamless, personalised, and stress-free, no matter where you’re based.

    • How about multi-day weddings?

      Absolutely! Many One Curious Dream couples choose to extend their celebrations over multiple days. From finding the perfect venue to assembling your dream team of suppliers, I’ll help craft a seamless, unforgettable wedding experience that thoughtfully considers your guests’ needs throughout the entire celebration.

      With extensive experience managing weddings across multiple time zones, I understand the unique challenges of international planning. As your local UK wedding planner, I’m committed to making the entire process as smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable as possible, no matter where you’re based.

    • What wedding budget do we need to work with you?

      I work with couples across a range of budgets, always with honesty, clarity, and meticulous attention to detail. My goal is to help you understand exactly what’s achievable within your investment and ensure every decision contributes to a wedding that is seamlessly executed, beautifully designed, and utterly unforgettable.

      Most of my couples’ wedding budgets range from £60,000 to £250,000 and beyond, though I also craft intimate weddings and elopements with the same care and precision. Every aspect of your planning journey is focused on maximising impact while spending wisely, so your celebration feels extraordinary without compromise.

      If, based on your vision, I feel your budget would be better directed straight into your wedding rather than planning fees, I will be completely upfront, because my priority is simple: your wedding should be exceptional, personal, and truly worth it.

      I only take on clients where I can genuinely add value, ensuring your planning journey is stress-free, seamless, and as extraordinary as your celebration itself.

    • How much do your wedding planning services cost?

      After our initial consultation, I’ll provide a tailored proposal based on the size, scope, and complexity of your wedding. Full-service planning typically ranges from 12–15% of your overall wedding budget, with a minimum fee applied, ensuring a high-touch, bespoke experience.

      Transparency is key, you’ll always know exactly what to expect, with no hidden surprises. For larger budgets, fixed-fee options are also available and can be discussed during your consultation to find the perfect approach for your celebration.

    • What are your payment terms?

      To begin your wedding planning journey, a 25% retainer is required for all planning services. The remaining balance is then divided into equal, interest-free monthly payments, with the final installment due no later than 30 days before your wedding day.

      For wedding coordination and styling services, a 50% payment is required upon booking, with the balance payable 30 days prior to the event.

    • Do you take commission or referral fees?

      I do not accept any commission or referral fees from wedding venues or suppliers.

      My fees are fair and based solely on my skills, experience, and the specific services I provide for you—there’s no need for me to seek additional profit beyond that.

      This means you can have complete confidence that every venue and supplier recommendation I make is genuinely in your best interest. Plus, any discounts or perks offered by my trusted partners are always passed directly on to you.

    • Are you insured?

      Yes, absolutely. I hold public and employers liability insurance as well as professional indemnity insurance.

    • How about awards, press and associations?

      I’ve been honoured to be recognised as one of the UK’s top independent wedding planners  and have received numerous prestigious awards for both wedding planning and styling, including accolades from the National Wedding Industry Awards and the British Wedding Awards. I've recently been voted as one of the top wedding designers in the UK by Wedded Wonderland, a huge honour!

      I’m also proud to be a recommended supplier on leading industry platforms such as Love My Dress, Rock My Wedding, The English Wedding Blog, Lux Life, Hitched, and many other respected organisations. My work has been featured in Vogue, Wedded Wonderland, Love My Dress, Rock My Wedding and many other platforms.
