We produce eight to twelve Cotswolds weddings a year — from intimate 40-person Sunday lunches at Asthall to 250-guest summer celebrations across Daylesford. London office, Cotswolds-fluent, with a supplier roster that doesn't change between weddings.
Late May to early September; October for autumn weddings with marquee heating

The Cotswolds reward a planner who has produced there before. The venues are spread across four counties, the kitchens vary from Michelin to rural-shell, the music curfews are stricter than most clients expect, and the wet-weather plan is non-negotiable from day one of the brief. We've produced weddings at Daylesford, Cornwell Manor, Asthall Manor, Thyme, Soho Farmhouse, Aynhoe Park, Buscot Park and Hampton Manor — and have working relationships with the village pubs, farm caterers, florists and crew that make a Cotswolds weekend run.
Most of our Cotswolds weddings are weekend productions: welcome supper on Friday, ceremony and reception Saturday, lazy brunch Sunday. The accommodation logistics are usually the largest single workstream — we typically block-book 60–120 rooms across two or three Cotswolds villages for any guest count above 100. Coaches and luxury transport from the M40/M5 corridor are pre-negotiated; we don't book a Cotswolds wedding without a transport plan locked.
We don't take supplier commission, ever. The Cotswolds has more florists, caterers and bands per square mile than anywhere else in the UK, and impartial recommendations are the entire value of working with a planner who knows the region. We'll tell you when a venue is wrong for you — and when it's right.
