After planning weddings and events in some of London’s most iconic venues including The Savoy, Corinthia Hotel London and Firmdale Hotels, I wanted to bring a touch of five-star styled service and planning to the countryside. Claire Clarke Weddings was hence born, back in 2016 (!!) planning weddings in the UK, mainly around Northamptonshire.

Soon my passion for destination weddings grew and after marrying in Italy myself, I realised there were very few UK planners specialising in destination weddings (what a travesty?!) and now, 95% of the weddings I plan are destination based, mainly in Italy!

It’s crazy to think that I’ve now been a weddings and events planner for over 15 years with 10 years experience in Italy!

I understand weddings can be very overwhelming and with more couples leading such busy lives, many simply don’t have the time to carry out all the research involved so I am on hand to help make your dream event a reality.

I know that no two weddings or events are the same and therefore ensure that all my couples receive a bespoke meeting before embarking on our planning journey. Following this meeting, whichever service you choose, I will work alongside you to offer my expert advice and guidance along the way. I will assist with all aspects of the planning process from designing a personalised theme, negotiations, etiquette- advice and will be your personal support confidant throughout our journey together.

I always endeavour to use my five-star industry knowledge to plan to the highest standard and give all couples a magical day. By doing this, I’ll help by giving you the wedding day you have always dreamed of and the perfect start to married life together.
