Sarah / Wedding Planner

Sarah WardFirstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to explore what we can offer you at Weddings Made Easy. To give you a brief introduction, I am a happily married mother of two, who has experienced the trials and tribulations, but more importantly the pleasures of getting married.

Working with Surrey’s most presitigious Wedding Guide “Starting Together Magazine” I have gained a wealth of experience within both the supplier and client  side of planning a wedding. With the knowledge and experience I have learnt, I felt I could bring an innovative and exiting way to ease the stress and help couples that are planning their big day.

Prior to setting up Weddings Made Easy, my career started within the television industry as a freelance Researcher and Celebrity Booker. I worked for many years for major television production companies for Channel 4, Sky, Living, BBC and Bravo. Here I worked on creating the concepts of the programme through to filming at the studios. Through unquestionable passion and commitment, I used my experience within the television industry and transfered my skills to recruiting for the industry. I worked as a senior consultant, leading to Management and Business Development Management for National agencies in and around London. Within these roles I gained a wealth of experience and built strong relationships with leading blue chip companies in the Media, Music and Events industries.

I would like you to read on to meet the team that I believe to be the cream of the crop. I spent over two years researching my suppliers / team to ensure that my clients recieve only the best possible service from WME. 

Hopefully I shall be speaking to you soon on a more personal basis!
