Getting engaged should feel magical – not like you’ve just been handed a second full-time job.

Pinterest boards, TikTok advice, family opinions, venue pressure… suddenly you’re expected to make huge decisions without knowing what actually matters first.

This workshop is designed to bring you back to clarity.

Led by Gemma Jay, award-winning ex-wedding planner and now celebrant with over 18 years in the wedding industry, this relaxed, no-judgement session walks you through the real first steps of planning a wedding – without overwhelm, upselling, or unrealistic expectations.

Whether you’re planning something traditional, alternative, themed, intimate, or completely non-traditional, this workshop gives you the solid foundations every great wedding is built on.

You’ll leave knowing:

• what to prioritise

• what can wait

and how to make decisions that feel right for you – not anyone else

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand what actually needs deciding first (and what really doesn’t)

• Set a realistic budget without the awkward guesswork

• Work out your non-negotiables and values as a couple

• Avoid common planning mistakes that cause stress later

• Feel confident saying “no” to pressure from others

• Create a clear, calm planning starting point – even if you don’t have a date or venue yet

✨ No spreadsheets thrown at you
✨ No “perfect wedding” nonsense
✨ Just honest, practical guidance from someone who’s seen it all

This workshop is for you if:

• You’re newly engaged and don’t know where to start

• You want a wedding that feels personal, not performative

• You’re already feeling overwhelmed by advice online

• You’re planning a themed, alternative, or non-traditional wedding

• You want expert guidance without pressure to book anything
