Eridon Events

Getting married is classed as one of the most stressful things you can do but we believe that planning your wedding should be fun and exciting. The amount of brides – and grooms – who have lost weight, sleep and patience when organising their big day is proof that having a helping hand is not unnecessary at all

Planning your wedding should be fun and exciting and whilst you don't want to be deprived of the fun, you do want to wave goodbye to the stress

That's what we believe here at Eridon Events…that wedding planning isn't something exclusive for the rich and famous, but that it is exclusive to each couple

We never forget that this is your day and it should be as individual as you are, so we don't have set suppliers or venues. This isn't about you fitting into a set plan – it's all about creating your own dream come true

We can provide you with as much or as little assistance as you need, organise the entire wedding for you from the engagement party to the honeymoon or just concentrate on the big day itself

We'll find out what you have in mind, offer ideas, search out the sources and present a plan tailored specifically for you. Once we get an idea of what you are looking for, whether we're starting from a blank piece of paper or complete list of "wants" we can do all the time consuming, nitty gritty stuff so that you make better use of your time and are relaxed and ready for the big day.

A lot of the time in planning a wedding is filtering through the masses of information about suppliers, having to fight off over eager sales people and trying to think of all the things to be taken into consideration.

We can be there on the day to deal with the emergencies and the unexpected. We heard of a tale where it was realised at the wedding breakfast that the respective parents had never even been introduced because nobody had thought about it!

Cost is also an important issue; the cost of a wedding can easily escalate out of control and what we don't want to be is a burden on the finances, so we ensure that we offer value for money in our services and keep an eye on the ever important bottom line. Right at the beginning we agree on what we will do, the time commitment we make and what output you can expect from us, so that there are no hidden surprises or exclusions

To ensure this quality of service Eridon offer a free consultation without commitment . It's very important that we can show what we can do and the anticipated cost so that people who wouldn't originally consider hiring a wedding planner can see that the benefits far outweigh the costs
