AWARD winning wedding planner Kelly Anne Page is celebrating her latest win and she is now the West Midlands Planner of the Year.

We took time out to chat to Kelly Anne about her brilliant business:

What is your name? Kelly Anne Page

What is the name and address of your business? Kelly Anne Weddings. Work from home in Ledbury, Oakland Drive.

What is the strangest request you have had at your business? To Blow up 400 balloons in the bridal suite! They wanted balloons everywhere, on the ceiling, in the bathtub and in the bed. It looked amazing but very difficult to get out the room.

What is the most popular question asked of a wedding planner? One of the questions I get asked all the time is what details to put on the Wedding Invitation. One of my top tips is to NEVER put the time you are getting married as this will mean your guests will arrive at that time and the bride will be half way down the aisle! Always put the time you want your guests to arrive which i suggest 30 minutes prior to the ceremony. This will allow enough time for your guests to park, find their seats and use the facilities if needed.

How did you get into the wedding business? I worked at a local wedding venue for five years and found my love for weddings. When Covid hit, I realised how invested I was emotionally to my couples and therefore started my own helpful tips and advice page on social media. Other couples loved it and started to ask me to plan their weddings and that was when Kelly Anne Weddings was born.

What is Ledbury like as a town to operate in? Ledbury is a lovely town to operate in as it has everything I may need to quickly take with me to a wedding whilst also being super close to the motorway for my travels.

Anything else you would like to add?

I recently won the West Midlands Wedding Planner of the year award 2024 and now through to the nationals in London in January!

My Brides & Bubbles event is on Sunday March 17 2024 for all brides and bridal party to attend.
