Rebecca & Thomas Harris

Bristol, May 2023

From our first meeting, we knew Elegant Unions was different. They didn't try to impose a standard package on us – instead, they took the time to listen to our ideas and help us refine them into something even better than we'd imagined. Their industry connections and creative solutions saved us both money and stress. Our wedding was absolutely magical!

Eleanor & Daniel Mitchell

Manchester, August 2022

As a same-sex couple, it was important to us to work with planners who would honour our vision for a wedding that reflected our relationship while respecting tradition in the ways that mattered to us. Elegant Unions excelled at this balance, creating a day that felt both authentic and timeless. Their sensitivity and expertise made all the difference.
