Parties, launches and small weddings, planned and set up.

Be a guest at your own party. From a plan you run yourself to the whole day run for you, at fixed prices. The Party Plan is £125.

A drawing of a garden party set up and waiting for guests: a long table with a linen cloth, candles, flowers and a cake, with festoon lights, bunting and balloons. In the evening the lights and candles glow.

Every package, and what it covers

Each one includes everything in the one above it. Fixed prices, with what is included, and how far ahead to book.

    Starts 3 months before.

  6. Something bigger

    More guests, more days, or more than one venue.

    Written quote after a free call

    Built on the same hourly basis as the packages. The quote lists every hour and every line before anything is booked.

    Quote within 3 working days of the call.

The four marks show which parts of the day each package covers. Pack-down with Planned Together follows the on-the-day package it includes.

To match

  • Invitation to match

    £45

    One digital invitation in the party's styling, 2 rounds of changes, a phone-ready image and a print-ready PDF.

    3 working days.

  • Wedding stationery suite

    £195

    The invitation, a details or RSVP card, and the on-the-day set (menu, place card, table plan, welcome sign) as print-ready files. Printing is optional and quoted in writing before you order.

    10 working days for the designs.

Not in the price

These are bought from your plan, at their own price, so nothing is added later:

  • Decorations, balloons, flowers and props from the shopping list
  • Venue hire, food and drink, and the cake
  • Entertainers, inflatables and photographers
  • Printing of invitations and stationery, quoted before you order
  • Travel beyond Laura's local area, set out before you book

How booking works

Three steps, and the first one is free.

  1. Book a free discovery call

    Fill in the short form on Laura's booking page.

  2. Talk through the day

    The date, the guests and the feel you want. Then pick the package that fits.

  3. Enjoy the party

    The plan arrives, and Laura does as much on the day as your package covers.
