<p>As an experienced Kew Gardens wedding coordinator, I’ve had the joy of supporting couples as they celebrate across the Nash Conservatory, the Princess of Wales Conservatory, and the Orangery. While couples picture the beauty of these iconic venues, what they don’t always see is the quiet coordination that makes it all seamless. That’s where I step in. My role is to carry the details so you can carry the joy.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="819" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1814-2-1024x819.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-2748" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1814-2-1024x819.jpeg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1814-2-300x240.jpeg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1814-2-768x614.jpeg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1814-2-1536x1229.jpeg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1814-2.jpeg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em>Marsha Mollineau &#8211; Wedding Coordinator at Kew Gardens </em></figcaption></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h2>The Morning at the Nash Conservatory</h2>



<p>The day begins long before the guests arrive. As an experienced Kew Gardens wedding coordinator, I move quietly between suppliers, check deliveries, and set the stage for the ceremony. Chairs are aligned, stationery is laid out, and the welcome sign is placed with care.</p>



<p>Behind the scenes, I’m adjusting buttonholes, pinning corsages, setting up confetti wands, and cueing readers — details that matter deeply to couples, but that they never need to worry about.</p>



<p>This is the work no one sees, yet it creates the calm and confidence couples feel the moment they walk into their ceremony space.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="819" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1832-1024x819.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-2749" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1832-1024x819.jpeg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1832-300x240.jpeg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1832-768x614.jpeg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1832-1536x1229.jpeg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1832.jpeg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em>Final touches in the Nash Conservatory before guests arrive.</em></figcaption></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h2>Supporting the Ceremony with Calm Precision</h2>



<p>A ceremony feels effortless because someone is gently guiding it in the background. I line up the bridal party, cue the musicians, and reassure anyone feeling nervous. Readers are quietly guided when to step forward, and transitions happen seamlessly.</p>



<p>While couples focus entirely on each other, I ensure the ceremony flows with grace and ease. And I’m happy doing what I do — creating calm in the complexity so couples can be fully present in their joy.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="819" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1869-1-1024x819.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-2750" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1869-1-1024x819.jpeg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1869-1-300x240.jpeg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1869-1-768x614.jpeg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1869-1-1536x1229.jpeg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1869-1.jpeg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption><em>Behind the scenes during a Nash Conservatory wedding ceremony.</em></figcaption></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h2>Smooth Transitions in the Princess of Wales Conservatory</h2>



<p>After the vows, guests move into the Princess of Wales Conservatory for drinks. This moment of transition is where coordination is key.</p>



<p>I liaise with the catering team, ensure drinks are served on time, and welcome guests warmly. Consequently, the couple can glide effortlessly into their reception, feeling celebrated but never pulled into logistics.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h2>The Orangery Reception: Bringing It All Together</h2>



<p>The Orangery at Kew Gardens is always a breathtaking reception space. While guests enjoy the gardens, I’m overseeing styling, coordinating suppliers, and cueing the room reveal.</p>



<p>By the time the doors open, the room is transformed — florals are perfectly placed, pin spots highlight the architecture, and the tablescapes are inviting. Couples often say this reveal takes their breath away. As a Kew Gardens wedding coordinator, I make sure it lands beautifully.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1872-4-1024x819.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-2762" width="789" height="631" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1872-4-1024x819.jpeg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1872-4-300x240.jpeg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1872-4-768x614.jpeg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1872-4-1536x1229.jpeg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/IMG_1872-4.jpeg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px" /><figcaption><em>Final checks in the Orangery before the reception begins.</em></figcaption></figure>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h2>Why Couples Choose a Kew Gardens Wedding Coordinator</h2>



<p>The beauty you see — the laughter, the flowers, the smooth transitions — is the result of coordination you don’t see. My role covers:</p>



<ul><li>Confirming supplier arrivals and smoothing any issues.</li><li>Adjusting buttonholes, corsages, and personal details with care.</li><li>Overseeing ceremony flow, from musicians to readers to confetti.</li><li>Managing timing so speeches, transitions, and meals flow seamlessly.</li><li>Supporting families and guests with reassurance and warmth.</li><li>Staying present from setup until the last dance, with wardrobe changes to remain practical and professional.</li></ul>



<p>Above all, I want couples — and their families — to feel calm, cared for, and uplifted. Coordination isn’t about being “strong” or “tough”; it’s about creating space for tenderness and joy. That is the energy I bring to every wedding.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator"/>



<h2>Dreaming of Your Own Kew Gardens Wedding?</h2>



<p>Kew Gardens is more than a venue. It’s an unforgettable experience of light, history, and beauty. And when paired with calm, behind-the-scenes coordination, it becomes the perfect stage for your celebration.</p>



<p>If you’re planning your wedding at Kew Gardens and want to enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics, I’d love to help. Whether you’re looking for partial planning or day-of coordination, together we’ll create calm in the complexity — so you can focus on the joy.</p>

<h2>How to plan a marquee wedding </h2>



<p>So you want to know, how to plan a marquee wedding in the UK?</p>



<p>Marquee weddings are an excellent choice if you&#8217;d prefer the flexibility of having a blank canvas, want to get creative and put your own stamp on things. However, planning a marquee wedding involves multiple factors that must be considered before committing.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Thankfully, East London Planner Marsha from Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events is sharing her ultimate guide on how to plan a marquee wedding. Here goes!</p>



<h2>Choose a date wisely </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Decor-Ideas-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2503" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Decor-Ideas-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Decor-Ideas-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Decor-Ideas-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Decor-Ideas-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Decor-Ideas.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Choosing a wedding date is naturally the first step in planning any wedding. However, the time of year you decide to have your marquee wedding requires a lot of forward-thinking logistically.</p>



<p>For example. Although the summer months are synonymous with marquee weddings, the risk of heat waves is high in July and August. If you&#8217;re set on having your marquee wedding in the peak summer months, opt for a marquee where you can raise the sides, allowing excellent ventilation.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I avoid incorporating anything prone to melting in the sweltering heat, including tall candles, chocolate favours, and more. Elements such as sweet treats, fresh florals etc, can still be incorporated. However, I display them at the last moment to reduce the risk of melting or wilting arrangements.&nbsp;</p>



<p>You don&#8217;t have to write off a marquee wedding; if you&#8217;re considering a winter or off-peak month. They&#8217;re still viable. They just need a lot of forward-thinking and planning logistically! For example. I ensure adequate lighting and matting leading from the car park to the marquee and frequently visited areas on the grounds. Enabling you, your guests and suppliers to navigate without getting lost or stuck in the soft grounds, aka the mud.</p>



<p>A steady flow of adequate heating is a must pre-event to avoid condensation build-up. Additionally a constant flow of heat during the wedding is always a bonus. Moreover, be sure to have a strong contingency plan for gale-force winds and wet weather, as I did for Geraldine and Edmund at Brightling Park. Which leads us nicely to location, location, location.&nbsp;<br></p>



<h2>Find the best location for your marquee </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Location-London--1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2506" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Location-London--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Location-London--300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Location-London--768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Location-London--1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Location-London-.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Marquee weddings are a great option to allow maximum flexibility. At Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events, I use many country house wedding venues. Country house wedding venues offer permanent marquee fixtures on-site or allow our couples to choose their marquee style.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I can assist you in deciding on a country house wedding venue for your marquee wedding with some infrastructure already in place and a set location. Arrange a short consultation with me.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/contact/">I&#8217;d love to hear from you.</a></p>



<p>I enjoy providing options for suitable sites that&#8217;s easily accessible for guests and suppliers. For example, I will ensure you can capitalise on the natural views and have a beautiful backdrop to your celebrations.</p>



<h2>Choose the perfect ceremony location </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Coordinator--1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2504" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Coordinator--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Coordinator--300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Coordinator--768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Coordinator--1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Coordinator-.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Most clients at Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events opt for a combination of legal registrar and celebrant-led ceremonies.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For example. If you&#8217;re holding your marquee wedding ceremony off-site at a church or registry office. Or perhaps a licenced room, you must consider how your guests will travel between locations. A shuttle service always goes down well.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Planning a humanist or celebrant-led ceremony gives greater flexibility on the day regarding location. For example, you can hand-pick a beautiful spot on site with little restrictions.&nbsp;</p>



<p>When planning outdoor ceremonies, we always factor in a contingency plan for the weather. If it is too hot. Maybe, your guests may need adequate shade, fans, umbrellas, etc. If there is too much rain, you&#8217;ll need some cover. Also, if it&#8217;s chilly, they will benefit from a blanket or two.&nbsp;<br></p>



<h2>Choosing the right size and style of marquee </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Style-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2501" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Style-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Style-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Style-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Style-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Wedding-Style.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>There are so many marquee styles. From stylish stretch tents to teepees. From to light and airy sailcloth marquees to clear span orangery style and more. All kinds provide modern but luxurious marquee solutions for modern couples.</p>



<p>Sailcloth is one of our favourite styles and creates terrific light and airy spaces. Their high ceilings make them perfect for high-impact floral hanging installations.</p>



<p>Whichever style you choose, ensuring you get the right size is vital to your successful planning. We can provide various floor plans for you! Ensure enough space for your guests to be seated, room for a dance-floor. And freedom to hold reception drinks inside, should the weather offer you a surprise or two. Arrange a consultation here to get started.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Insuring your marquee wedding </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator-1-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2509" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator-1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator-1-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator-1-1.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Securing adequate wedding insurance is another &#8216;essential&#8217; when deciding how to plan a marquee wedding. Whilst advisable for all weddings. Wedding insurance is vital for marquee weddings. This is because you have much more liability regarding looking after the marquee site and protecting your guests when on the land.</p>



<h2>Don’t overlook the catering </h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Caterer--1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2499" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Caterer--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Caterer--300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Caterer--768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Caterer--1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Caterer-.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Catering is one of the main challenges when deciding on how to plan a marquee wedding. One which many of the caterers we work with are used to facing and should be able to accommodate.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For example, with a marquee wedding, most catering teams require a tent that makes sense to hire from your existing marquee company.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I work closely with your caterers to determine their size and specific requirements and find the best location for the catering tent without obstructing any views.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Moreover, Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events determine the safest and most appropriate access routes.  Enabling waiting staff to wait tables and serve food without it getting cold wet or compromising on the quality of service.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Decide if you need a marquee wedding planner or marquee coordinator?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator--1024x683.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2508" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator--1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator--300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator--768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator--1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Marquee-Coordinator-.jpg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>Marquees lack the essential comforts that many typical venues would otherwise provide &#8211; usually, water, toilets and power!&nbsp;</p>



<p>As a marquee wedding coordinator, firstly I assist our couples in establishing whether there is access to water and electricity at their chosen site. Knowing if there&#8217;s sufficient power for suppliers to be able to tap into is one of the most important things you need to establish when planning a marquee wedding.&nbsp;</p>



<p>When all your suppliers are plugged in for entertainment, catering, refrigeration, music, lighting, portable loos, etc. It will be quite a hefty load on any electricity supply.&nbsp;Therefore I often prefer plugging into the mains and a generator to reduce the risk of power going down.</p>



<p>I will create site maps. And find it a great idea to help your suppliers know where to park, unload/pack up.&nbsp;Firstly, I complete a site visit which is an excellent opportunity to walk through things together.  And understand the best layout and what&#8217;s required.&nbsp;<br></p>

<p>It was a dream come true coordinating A+A&#8217;s wedding at The <a href="https://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/lgnl/leisure_and_culture/parks_and_open_spaces/mile_end_park/Wedding_Ceremonies_Receptions_Celebrations.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mile End Arts Pavilion</a> also known as<a href="https://www.towerhamlets.gov.uk/lgnl/leisure_and_culture/parks_and_open_spaces/mile_end_park/Wedding_Ceremonies_Receptions_Celebrations.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> The Mile End Ecology Pavilion</a>. The ideal dry hire event space built into a grass bank with a glass frontage floods the interiors with beautiful light. </p>



<h2><strong>Memories I Will Cherish Forever at The Ecology Pavilion</strong></h2>



<p>I still remember the awe-inspiring floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the lake as they danced the night away with loved ones!&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="683" src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/The-Ecology-Pavilion-Dry-Hire-Coordinator-1-1-1024x683.jpg" alt="The Ecology Pavilion - Dry Hire Coordinator " class="wp-image-2473" srcset="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/The-Ecology-Pavilion-Dry-Hire-Coordinator-1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/The-Ecology-Pavilion-Dry-Hire-Coordinator-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/The-Ecology-Pavilion-Dry-Hire-Coordinator-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/The-Ecology-Pavilion-Dry-Hire-Coordinator-1-1.jpg 1440w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p>It was lovely to see their guests mingling at the drinks reception, taking in the beautiful surroundings. Meanwhile, our newlyweds enjoyed a moment alone to take couples portraits within the gorgeous little oasis of green backing onto Regent&#8217;s Canal on the cusp of South Hackney.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Guests were seated for dinner! And after a series of heartfelt speeches &amp; giggles and cake-cutting… the band kicked off, and the party began. And what a party it was.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Ecology Pavilion&#8217;s rural feel and urban location make it a unique and ideal alternative dry-hire wedding venue in East London. I love coordinating there.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>On the Day Management &#8211; The Ecology Pavilion</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/The-Ecology-Pavilion-On-The-Day-Management-.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2467"/></figure>



<p>A+A chose the Mile End Ecology Pavilion, a dry hire space, as they knew it would allow them to build their dream wedding from scratch. As well as provide the flexibility to choose the suppliers of their dreams &#8211; and they did an excellent job!&nbsp;</p>



<p>The hire package they chose at the Pavilion:&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li>Allowed us to set up the evening before, enabling the Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events Team to oversee the furniture deliveries and coordinate the initial set-up.&nbsp;</li><li>Followed by full-day access on the big day, where we provided on-the-day wedding management.</li><li>Plus, access the following morning for collections &amp; pickups.&nbsp;</li></ul>



<h2><strong>Unflappable Coordination &#8211; Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/The-Ecology-Pavilion-Wedding-Planner.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2468"/></figure>



<p>A+A approached me once they&#8217;d secured their alternative dry-hire wedding venue in East London. They had planned most of their wedding but needed a hand tying everything together. For example: sourcing a few last-minute additions.</p>



<p>Once appointed, as their Mile End Ecology Pavillion wedding planner I designed custom and comprehensive plans for our couple. This inspired absolute confidence in their road ahead!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Based on the couple&#8217;s schedule, various ad-hoc wedding planning tasks were provided from Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events. For example:</p>



<ul><li>I scouted venues for the bridal party (getting ready location).</li><li>I ground checked and logistically planned.</li><li>Successfully produced alternative 3D floor plans &amp; timelines etc.</li><li>I assisted groomsmen with personal shopping errands including vegan and more.</li></ul>



<p>As their Mile End Ecology Pavillion wedding coordinator, I was 100% dedicated to keeping the planning journey stress-free. Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events paved the way for our modern couple to host a thoroughly enjoyable wedding celebration without the fuss.</p>



<h2><strong>Testimonials &#8211; The Ecology Pavilion</strong></h2>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>We just wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU, once again for everything you did for us in preparation and on the day of the wedding. We are so glad that you were able to be a part of our ceremony and can’t thank you enough. Thank you once again for everything! A+A</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>If the initial engagement vibes have begun to wear off, and you&#8217;re overwhelmed by the onslaught of wedding planning decisions you need to make leading up to your wedding day. In that case, you&#8217;re not alone. Below, Marsha from Mollineau Weddings and Events will share her advice on how to get excited about planning your wedding again.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>What To Do When You&#8217;re Totally Over Wedding Planning&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>As an East London wedding planner, I know from personal experience how easy it is to let your self-care and motivation slip away during this hectic time. Still, it&#8217;s an essential component to prevent stressful planning and everything spiralling out of control.</p>



<h2><strong>How Do I Stop Being Overwhelmed With My Wedding Planning?</strong></h2>



<p>If your wedding planning to-do list takes up all of your time, you do not know what to do next, or the well-intentioned &#8220;how&#8217;s the wedding planning going&#8221; remarks make you want to shut down and hide, I recommend you hit the pause button now!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Please grab a cup of coffee, your favourite biscuits, curl up on the sofa, and delve into my five sanity-saving tips to help you get your wedding planning back on track. I&#8217;ll be sharing invaluable solutions to make your wedding planning process enjoyable. Follow my wedding planning advice, and you&#8217;ll be counting down the days until your &#8220;I do&#8217;s&#8221; feeling confident and stress-free in no time.</p>



<h2><strong>1. Tackle Each Wedding Planning Task In Order Of Importance To You</strong></h2>



<p>Suppose you&#8217;re looking for ways to get excited about planning your wedding planning again. First things first!&nbsp;Before tackling your wedding task list, you must first rediscover your wedding purpose and prioritise. This process will involve you and your better half uncovering why you decided to have a wedding in the first place. I recommend you decide on no more than three priorities for your big day and make a pact not to stress over anything that falls outside of those priorities.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I always encourage my brides and grooms-to-be to focus on just one task at a time; this prevents information overload and limits confusion caused by all the different options, which often leads to you second-guessing yourself. Trust me; you&#8217;ve got this!&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you&#8217;d like a helping hand, then a <strong><a href="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wedding-planning-sessions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wedding planning session</a></strong> with Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events can assist you. I&#8217;m always available to reassure you about where to start, apportioning your budget or talk through anything else causing you to worry. Simply arrange a complimentary consultation <strong><a href="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/contact/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a></strong>.</p>



<h2><strong>2. Set Realistic Deadlines For Completion &amp;&nbsp;Celebrate Your Wins</strong></h2>



<p>At Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events, we&#8217;re known to have planned weddings in 8 weeks; however, it is very rare. For instance, there&#8217;s a high possibility that You will not plan your wedding in a week. So take your time. You don&#8217;t want to set yourself up for failure by procrastinating.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you want to get excited about planning your wedding planning again. I suggest you create a basic timeline centred around your availability. Include all of your tasks which should be actioned by priority. When you accomplish a task, give yourself a special treat to stay motivated. Perhaps a favourite chocolate bar, a picnic in the park or a trip to your favourite restaurant. The choice is yours.</p>



<p>If you do not have time to action, all tasks within your timeline and wedding planning has ground to a halt. You may benefit from delegating a few errands to a professional wedding planner. Consider making<strong><a href="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/contact/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> contact </a></strong>sooner rather than later.</p>



<h2><strong>3. Go Off The Grid&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>It&#8217;s important to sign off from wedding planning when you want or need to. I recommend you set up a dedicated email for wedding planning purposes and communication. That way if it all feels that the planning is getting too much, you can switch on your out-of-office reply and go off the grid for a week or two without running the risk of missing important communication from your pre-wedding planning lives.</p>



<p>I know it sounds extreme. But not looking at your social media accounts, wedding emails, or colossal binder filled with the paperwork you&#8217;ve collected over the years will do you some good!</p>



<p>Use the downtime as a necessary period to enjoy some non-wedding fun with your friends, self-care, or do whatever else you&#8217;d like to do to relax.</p>



<p>If my clients don&#8217;t feel motivated to attend a low key outing, I send them a bottle of champagne and a box of chocolates. Gently encouraging them to take at least one night off and agree not to talk about wedding planning. It&#8217;s an excellent opportunity to reconnect and remember what it was like before wedding planning took over your lives.</p>



<p>If you&#8217;ve already tried some relaxing activities and still found yourself fixating on the latest wedding hurdle. You might want to take an entirely different approach by releasing some endorphins! Get your adrenaline pumping by going for a swim, boxercise, or some extreme sport may help get rid of your frustration. </p>



<h2><strong>4. Outsource Some Of Your Responsibilities</strong></h2>



<p>If you find going off the grid, relaxation or releasing endorphins doesn&#8217;t help; it&#8217;s time to outsource!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Wedding planning burnout is common and usually means that you are not delegating enough.&nbsp;Please chat with your better half, establish what is taking too much of your time, and entrust it to a professional. For example, is your household chores or walking the dog are taking up too much of your time? If yes, hiring a temporary cleaner or subscribing to a dog walking service could be the silver bullet to reclaiming your time. If all fails, it&#8217;s time to <strong><a href="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/contact/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">arrange a consultation </a></strong>with a wedding planner.</p>



<h2><strong>5. Get Support Managing Your Anxiety&nbsp;</strong></h2>



<p>The best way to handle the mentally trying aspects of your wedding planning journey is to take measured steps to prepare yourself and address any concerns you foresee as early as possible.</p>



<p>Weddings are emotional, high-stress situations. It&#8217;s easy to get overwhelmed by societal pressure, family expectations, not to mention the hefty price tag!&nbsp;</p>



<p>So if after all the advice I&#8217;ve given you still feel worried about the whole experience. Or your excitement about getting married has plummeted to the point of no return &#8211; don&#8217;t stress.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The good news is that with some advanced planning and some help from a professional therapist, there are so many ways to make your wedding planning journey a little more manageable. Just drop me a line if you&#8217;d like a recommendation from the UK. I know an excellent therapist who&#8217;d love to help.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>How&nbsp;To Get Excited About Planning Your Wedding Again </strong></h2>



<p>And that’s a wrap guys! In summary, my 5 tops tips on how to get excited planning your wedding again.</p>



<ol><li>Tackle one thing at a time during your planning and be methodical</li><li>Celebrate your wins! Have regular rest bite and keep your relationship a top priority.&nbsp;</li><li>Create a joint wedding email account, so it&#8217;s separate from personal stuff, don&#8217;t forget to separate your social media accounts or switch off notifications.&nbsp;</li><li>Outsource to a professional.</li><li>It&#8217;s ok not to be ok! A therapist can help if you need advice on managing your worries.</li></ol>

<h2><strong>How Much Does An On The Day Coordinator Cost?</strong></h2>



<p>First things first. How much does an on the day wedding coordinator cost? Our London w<strong><a href="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wedding-day-coordination/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">edding coordination services</a></strong> also referred to as on-the-day wedding management or on-the-day coordination services, are expertly designed with modern couples in mind.&nbsp;Fore example, most of our couples either have hectic schedules, planning from overseas, therefore want the luxury of sitting back and enjoying the whole experience as their guests will.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Secondly, the costs of a London wedding day coordinator varies. And is dependent on the number of locations, the number of hours.  Your expected guest count, and logistics. When delivering our <strong><a href="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/wedding-planning-sessions/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wedding budget consultancy packages</a></strong>, I advise my clients to ring-fence a minimum of £999.  For instance, if £999 isn&#8217;t achievable for you, don&#8217;t worry. You can find out a little more about coordinating your own wedding day here or arrange a planning session with me <strong><a href="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/planning-power-hour/">here</a></strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>What Does A Wedding Coordinator Do -UK?</strong></h2>



<p>So what does a London wedding coordinator do? There seems to be a fundamental misconception towards wedding coordinators in London at the moment!&nbsp;For instance, as a London wedding coordinator, I hear the following phrases often. Firstly it&#8217;s &#8220;I&#8217;m super organised; why do I need a planner.&#8221; Secondly it&#8217;s &#8220;We just can&#8217;t afford one within our wedding budget.&#8221; Thirdly, it&#8217;s &#8220;I already know what I&#8217;m doing, besides our venue has a planner, so we&#8217;re cool, thanks.&#8221;&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, I always explain that although London wedding coordinators&#8217; responsibilities vary ever so slightly. Importantly appointing a family member, friend, or even maid-of-honour to be responsible for troubleshooting on your big day puts a real dampener on their wedding day vibe.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The frequency of conversations or the access you have to your month-of coordinator may vary. Rest assured, you can get in touch with a coordinator at Mollienau Weddings and Events as soon as you have completed the onboarding process. And you&#8217;ll have direct access to my diary.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h3>Some Examples Of What You May Want To Discuss With Me Are:</h3>



<ul><li>Contract reviews and supplier recommendations.</li><li>Venue walkthrough&#8217;s and liaison with your caterers. </li><li>Detailed wedding day timeline creation.</li><li>Family photo groupings. </li><li>Ceremony rehearsals.</li><li>Smoothing overt minute changes.</li><li>Drafting floor plans and finalising reception layouts. </li><li>How we can release your time.</li><li> The list is endless.</li></ul>



<h2><strong>How Do I Pick A Wedding Coordinator For The Day?</strong></h2>



<p>Our London wedding coordinator&#8217;s at Mollineau Weddings &amp; Events benefit couples who have completed most of their wedding planning and want a little assistance putting their wedding plans into practice. Moreover, with us running the show, you can enjoy the weeks leading up-up to your wedding day. More importantly, I want you to be a happy host – not a hassled project manager.</p>



<p>In conclusion, it&#8217;s best practice to appoint a London wedding coordinator sooner rather than later. Yep the sooner, the better! At Mollineau Weddings and Events, we reach out to your wedding vendors and suppliers approx. 60-90 days before your big day. It&#8217;s easy to feel that your wedding suppliers are neglecting you. For example you may feel they are slow in responding to emails. However, this is not usually the case. The wedding and events industry is fast-paced. Therefore, contacting your wedding suppliers earlier than the 90-day mark may mean that they are focused on other weddings. </p>

<p>For most modern couples,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/engagement-advice-10-things-to-do-as-soon-as-you-get-engaged/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>the first decision&nbsp;after getting engaged</strong></a> is&nbsp;choosing the perfect wedding venue&nbsp;in London or surrounding areas. Finding the ideal wedding venue in London is where an experienced wedding planner can come in handy. <strong><a href="https://www.mollineauweddingsandevents.co.uk/meet-marsha/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">That&#8217;s me</a></strong>!&nbsp;</p>



<p>As a professional wedding planner in London, I manage numerous wedding vendors relationships. I boast a fantastic portfolio spanning the best wedding venues in London, making it quick and easy to check availability and put you in touch with a venue coordinator to arrange a tour.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With so many things to consider when searching for the perfect wedding venue in London, I thought I&#8217;d help you save some time by sharing a few quick venue search pointers to assist you with your wedding venue search going forward.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you&#8217;re pressed for time, download our venue searching tips booklet&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://mailchi.mp/8b40b177c5c2/et7jlp3h1n" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a></strong>, alternatively schedule a call with me at a time that&#8217;s convenient for you.</p>



<h2><strong>1. Establish The Size Of Your Perfect Wedding Venue In London</strong></h2>



<p>When considering the perfect wedding venue in London, I recommend you consider how many wedding guests you&#8217;re expecting. I know this may seem obvious to some; however, it&#8217;s still worth mentioning as the last thing I want is for you to fall in love with a venue that isn&#8217;t suitable for your big day.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Some wedding venues in London will be too small; others may be too large! Therefore, choosing a wedding venue that will comfortably fit all of your guests and not be so large that you struggle to &#8220;fill it&#8221; is key to a smooth sailing wedding planning experience and a wonderful wedding day.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Refer to my&nbsp;<strong>blog</strong>&nbsp;here if you want expert advice on determining your wedding guest list numbers.</p>



<h2><strong>2. Wedding Production &amp; Lighting Is Key</strong></h2>



<p>So, the odds are that your wedding ceremony and reception will benefit from event lighting and perhaps a production setup. Although some productions are more extravagant than others. It&#8217;s better to establish the existing lighting each venue you&#8217;ve shortlisted has in place. Therefore, I recommend you check if there is scope to add the type of lighting required to achieve your wedding day theme.</p>



<h2><strong>3. Have You Considered The Acoustics?</strong></h2>



<p>The party vibes! Or the &#8220;Tun Up&#8221;, as we&#8217;d say in the West Indies! As a wedding planner of West Indian descent, music is a critical wedding reception component. So whether you’re planning to have a live band or DJ. I always recommend testing the acoustics to see how the music will sound on the big day.</p>



<h2><strong>4. Is Your Perfect London Wedding Venue Accessible?</strong></h2>



<p>Guest comfort is high up on my list when presenting a selection of perfect wedding venues in London for my clients, especially when they have wedding guests coming in from out of town. For me, it&#8217;s essential to make sure the wedding ceremony and reception are easy for all those who are expected to attend. That goes for suppliers too!&nbsp;</p>



<p>Before I recommend the perfect wedding venue in London, I always check that it is close enough to hotels and other landmarks that guests need. On some occasions, this isn&#8217;t possible. But in true professional wedding planner style, I conjure ways to conveniently coordinate guests from base to venue.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>Whether it&#8217;s a classic open-top London red bus or a cruise on the Thames with champagne and canapés before they arrive at the perfect wedding venue, I&#8217;ve got the logistics and accessibility covered. It&#8217;s all in a day&#8217;s work for a professional East London wedding planner like me.&nbsp;</p>



<h2><strong>5. What Percentage Of Your Wedding Budget Should Go Towards Your Perfect Wedding Venue?</strong></h2>



<p>Your wedding budget will need to be considered when searching for your dream wedding venue in London. The very best and most popular wedding venues in London may come with a higher price tag. As a professional planner, I always encourage my couples to consider if the perfect wedding venue is value for money instead of solely basing their decision on the price tag!&nbsp;</p>



<p>As an experienced wedding pro! I work with couples to determine the best wedding venues in London that their money can buy!&nbsp;Remember, a wedding venue can make or break a wedding. So be diligent and choose wisely!&nbsp;</p>
