As a creative, I have a passion for creating beautiful things from scratch, no matter what form they come in. So weddings with details, that are modern and have considered style are our way of doing things. But fear not it is not only the creativity that sparks a light inside me. I make it my duty for my couples to feel like they know me and can trust our team at Man With A Pan, with their day.
Helping my couples navigate their wedding planning process, managing the different suppliers for them and helping spark ideas and bring them to life. Putting their nerves at bay and making the process a fun and exciting time.
It is an absolute pleasure to be on their journey with them, something that is never lost on me!
