Over the past ten years, we have had the pleasure of working with many wonderful Bijou couples as their trusted wedding planner.  We are honoured to have been a part of so many treasured days and are incredibly grateful for the following heartwarming love notes.  

Total Marvel…

The best decision I ever made, after deciding to get married of course, was to have Alex as our wedding planner. She is a total marvel; from the moment I met her she understood immediately what kind of thing we wanted, she listened to us at every turn, handled every difficult conversation, took away all the stresses, negotiated all the logistics and brought to the whole thing her extraordinary creative flair. She is utterly unflappable and oversaw every detail, from budget, to supplier, venue, right down to the candle sizes! There is no way we could have done it without her and I recommend her unreservedly. – K+M [Martin Beddall Photography]

A Godsend…

Alex of The Bijou Bride is a godsend. I did a lot of research and she is honestly the best decision I made in the entire process. We worked together for well over a year and it felt like having the world’s most informed BFF at my side. She is not only likeable, kind and lovely but perceptive, creative and bang-on at her job. – N+W [McKinley Rodgers]

Perfect Balance…

I honestly don’t know where to start when it comes to Alex. She has the perfect balance of playful creativity, endless patience, and insane organisational skills the likes of which I’ve never experienced before. I learned pretty quickly that planning a wedding is a non-stop onslaught of details that I never knew I cared about. Alex will do as much or as little as you want (I ended up wanting her to do everything because she has much better ideas than me). She gave advice and always stepped in when I needed her. She anticipated all problems before they happened. She was there as a sounding board when I needed help figuring out what was what…I can imagine it’s easy to forget that ultimately a wedding is a party with everyone you love. Alex made sure we could enjoy it. A lot. And everyone else did too. I give her million out of five stars. – C+D [Lemonade Pictures]

Total Superstar…

If I can give any newly engaged couples one piece of advice, it would be to book Alex right away! We brought Alex in part way through our planning process and my only regret is not starting to work with her sooner. She spent time getting to know us and understand our vision for what was a fairly untraditional wedding. Where we needed pointing in the right direction she was full of ideas and recommendations, all of which we took gratefully. As we crept ever closer to the big day we left more and more in her capable hands. She seemed entirely relaxed and un-phased which helped to chill us out too! On the day she was not only in complete control but she was a wonderful emotional support to us both. Couldn’t have done it (and wouldn’t have wanted to do it) without her; she’s a total superstar. – L+J [Andrew Billington Photography]

Stress free…

Alex is the best, hands down. I remember first meeting her and after one hour, she already fully understood our personality and what we’d want for our wedding. Throughout the planning process she kept everything stress free so that we could really enjoy the lead up to the wedding. I don’t think it would have been the same without her at all and I don’t know how anyone can plan a wedding without Alex! The day itself was perfect and again, it was all down to how much we knew it would be all we wanted because of Alex’s involvement. Thank you for making our perfect day just the way we imagined it! – M+A [Sanshine Photography]

Best Decision…

Whilst a wedding planner can sound pretentious, it was the best decision we could have made – and the fact we found Alex was the icing on the cake. With my husband’s big picture ideas to my fine detail obsession Alex managed to strike the right balance, and we wouldn’t have had the day we had without her, and I am still in awe of our big day… and what she pulled together. The amount of compliments have been insane! Wedding planning comes with its various pressures and stresses even until the end of the actual big day, however, having ever confidence in Alex I managed to enjoy every second.  She has a personal demeanour that some lack, you feel you have a friend in her – which is exactly what you need.

Truly memorable…

From the start of all the planning 18 months prior to our wedding date to the final song on the night, Alex made our wedding day perfect. Her knowledge of the wedding world and fabulous organisation skills allowed us to enjoy a stress free wedding ride. Her creative tips, tricks and attention to all the details, both large and small, made our day truly memorable. On top of being the best wedding planner, Alex is also a kind, generous and fun loving person with boundless positivity – exactly the person you want around during the run up to your big day! 5*s don’t even begin to describe Alex’s awesomeness. – T + K [Alex Beckett Photography]

Phenomenal Wedding Planner…

Where do I start. You essentially figured me out and stepped up to plan my dream wedding without me really knowing what my dream wedding even looked like. I will be eternally grateful for everything you pulled off to make our big day so absolutely stunning and effortless (on our part). Thank you for being a phenomenal wedding planner and an incredible person. – J+D [Roberta Facchini Photography]

Gentle Precision…

You held my hand and managed the day with such gentle precision from the major planning to the tiniest detail, it was just perfectly orchestrated. Words cannot actually describe how deeply grateful I will always be. – S+E [Alex Beckett Photography]

Amazing…

Alex was amazing. Without her, we really would have struggled to get things done, and get things done as well as she did. She completely stuck to timelines, helped us make decision and even solved a massive problem we had on the day (Beer kegs turning up without the equipment to open them and immediately bought the German Beer we wanted from another shop). She introduced us to people she knew that could help, gave us advice when it came to photography, design, DJ etc. I can’t say enough how much it is worth getting a Wedding Planner, and would strongly encourage getting Alex! – K+A [This & That Photography]

So Perfect…

Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding so perfect. It was exactly what we wanted and it would not have been what it was without you – M+G [Ria Mishaal]

Under Control…

We were so so happy that we asked Alex to help us plan our wedding! She was there through every step of the planning process – acting as a sounding board, giving us great ideas and tips based on her incredible wedding knowledge and experience, and making sure that everything was on track. On the day itself, she ran the entire show along with her assistants, and everything went exactly how it was meant to. My husband and I were able to totally relax and enjoy the incredible day knowing she had everything under control. Would 10000% recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding planner! – N+S [Rebecca Louise Photogrpahy]

Creative genius…

You were a superstar from start to finish and we definitely couldn’t have done without you. The whole wedding was exactly what we wanted and everything was so perfect on the day, we know that’s in a huge way down to you and your organisational and creative genius – C+E [Ria Mishaal]

Absolute pleasure…

From our initial meeting you so quickly understood what we wanted and brought it to life in the most beautiful way. You were an absolute pleasure to work with & we would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone we know. – A + L [Dominique Bader Photography]

Amazing…

It was the most amazing day, still crying just thinking about it & couldn’t have done it without you. Cannot thank you enough for everything – M+E [Modern Vintage Weddings]

Behind the scenes…

The barn looked truly stunning and totally exceeded everything we could have imagined. Everyone there had a fab time thanks to all your work behind the scenes! Your attention to detail was mind-blowing and so appreciated. Thanks so much for all of your support – J+C [McKinley Rodgers]

Couldn’t be happier…

First I can’t tell you what an awesome amazing time we had at the wedding. It was so perfect!! And all our guests keep telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. Thank you for making the vision a reality we couldn’t be happier!!! Thank you again X 10,000!!!!! – J+J [Anneli Marinovich Photography]

Amazing, wow…

A massive, massive thank you for everything you did to give us the most perfect, amazing, wow wedding day! It was everything and more we could have dreamt of and without you it definitely wouldn’t have been as enjoyable and organised. I will recommend you to everyone I know! – K+L [The Reportage Company]

Absolute pleasure…

Thank you so much for everything, we had the most amazing day, utterly beautiful, it took my breath away. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you – C+F [Dewan Demmer Photography]

Saviour…

Alexandra was the saviour of my wedding! She coordinated the day on my family farm – no easy feat when the weather had meant lots of last minute changes to the original plan. She makes things look beautiful, always with a smile on her face and you can trust her to make your day go swimmingly. Couldn’t recommend more – S+C [Annamarie Stepney Photography]

Discreet yet supportive…

Alex is discreet yet supportive in her service and nothing is ever too much…even decorating 3 different venues in the space of 6 hours!! She is superwoman! – R+A [Lovexposed Photography]

Magical work…

Thank you so much for your help not only on Sunday but in the lead up to the wedding.
It was such a wonderful day, I keep wanting to relive moments so I don’t forget it! All of our guests have said how impressed they were with the venue, food, flowers and all the special details!
I was really able to relax and enjoy the day and I’m so grateful for all your magical work, assistance and vision for the big day. S+A
