Isabel says, "As industry experts, we know that a lot of couples feel overwhelmed in the early stages of wedding planning. There's so much fantastic advice out there, but there is also a lot of pressure. From family politics, to friends' opinions, to conflicting online guidance, it can all feel like too much.

"Some might book a wedding planner for full planning, but so many others either want to plan their weddings themselves, or simply can't afford a freelance planner. That's where Wed-Start comes in. A virtual consultation with a true wedding expert, followed up with practical guides, gives the couple all they need to get going and plan the perfect wedding for themselves."
