Planning Your Dream Wedding in Suffolk? Here’s Why You’ll Want an Ipswich Wedding Planner

If you’re recently engaged and planning a wedding in or around Ipswich, first of all – congratulations! I’m Jo, founder of One Curious Dream, and as an experienced Ipswich wedding planner, I’ve had the pleasure of creating stylish, unforgettable celebrations throughout Suffolk.

Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic barn celebration, a chic marquee in the countryside, or an elegant wedding at a stately home, Ipswich and its surrounding areas offer some truly stunning options. And with the right support, planning your wedding here can be as enjoyable as the day itself.

Why Choose Ipswich for Your Wedding?

Ipswich is one of Suffolk’s most historic and picturesque towns, with a fantastic blend of character, charm, and accessibility. It’s close to the beautiful Suffolk coast, home to an array of gorgeous countryside venues, and it offers excellent travel links – ideal if you’re inviting guests from further afield.

You’ll find everything from converted barns and boutique hotels to sprawling private estates with room for a weekend-long celebration. Whether you’re going for relaxed countryside vibes or contemporary elegance, Ipswich has something to suit every couple.

As a local Ipswich wedding planner, I know this area like the back of my hand. From the best venues and trusted suppliers to hidden gems and local logistics, I can save you hours of stress and help you create a celebration that feels truly personal.

Here’s what you can expect when working with me:

Expert Local Knowledge

I’ve spent years building relationships with some of the most incredible venues and suppliers across Ipswich and Suffolk. Whether you need a florist who specialises in wild, seasonal arrangements or a band that will keep the dance floor full all night, I’ll connect you with the right people – and make sure everything runs like clockwork.

A Seamless, Stress-Free Planning Experience

Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re balancing work, life, and a never-ending list of decisions. My role is to take that pressure off your shoulders.

Bespoke, Beautiful Celebrations

Every wedding I plan is completely bespoke. I take the time to understand your style, your story, and what matters most to you. Whether you want a traditional country house wedding, a laid-back garden party, or a bold and modern celebration, I’ll bring your vision to life with style and intention.

With a focus on design-led planning, I love working with couples who value aesthetics, atmosphere, and authenticity. If you’re planning a wedding that breaks the mould, I’m all in.
