Val & her Team were absolutely wonderful, we couldn’t have done it without her. In the weeks leading up to the wedding day Val took complete control of all the final details, communication with suppliers and questions from guests which was such a welcome relief as the stress levels began to rise!

On the day, having the peace of mind that Val was there meant we could truly relax, and didn't have to worry about anything. We had an action packed day and Val ensured everything ran to time and without a glitch. Val had everything covered, plus lots of thoughtful touches that helped immeasurably - i.e. handheld fans in the heat, keeping track of cards and gifts and packaging everything up so perfectly at the end of the night so nothing got lost or forgotten.

You can’t put a price on the reassurance of knowing there’s someone there for you on the day doing everything in their power to make sure you have the best possible time and you’re shielded from questions or any hiccups, only exposed to the fun and joy surrounding you.

Val’s incredibly thorough approach and calm demeanour worked perfectly and I was so grateful to have complete trust in her that she understood our vision for the day and executed it to perfection.

Val was absolutely wonderful with my daughter's wedding. Always helpful and very efficient with the co-ordinating, planning and recommendations where needed. She went above and beyond any expectations on the actual day and looked after everything she possibly could to enable us to enjoy the day. Lovely, warm but professional at all times. I couldn't recommend Van highly enough.

I found Val almost 2 years before my wedding, she was instantly engaging with me and so lovely to communicate with. She provided choices of different types of services which let us pick our style of supplier. Towards the end and nearer to the wedding the connection grew and she became an extension of my family almost, speaking and messaging many times a day. I can honestly say my wedding wouldn’t have been as good if I hadn’t had her by my side. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Val, she is kind, fun, professional and has hundreds of contacts for every little detail you need. If I could do it again I would choose her by my side with out hesitation. Thank you Val and your team, I am glad we met xx

I have had the pleasure of working with Val on several beautiful weddings and Bridal photoshoots. Val is so professional, warm and friendly and really is the woman in the know in the wedding industry. A must for any couple planning a wedding or needing assistance on their wedding day.

Val is nothing if not thorough and efficient. Having just attended a friend’s wedding recently, has inspired me to comment on her professionalism and courtesy. Any bride to be or event host will not be disappointed with Val’s service.

Val helped my husband plan a surprise 50th birthday weekend for me - and it was truly amazing in every way and I know he couldn't have done it without her! The sheer scale of the events and the wonderful surprises that just kept on coming were a master class in planning and attention to detail. And the icing on the cake, Val is a warm and lovely person who genuinely did everything she could to make my birthday one I will never forget

Hiring Benessamy was by far and away the best decision we made regarding our wedding. Val and her team were absolutely phenomenal! Whether in the pre-planning stages, on the day itself, or during the dreaded clean-up/aftermath, we couldn't have done it without their help. Val's organisation and attention to detail are second to none. She has a directory of amazing suppliers and no challenge is too great. However full on things get, she's always as cool as a cucumber and manages to get everything done with a smile! I didn't once feel stressed in the run up to the wedding, and that was 100% down to Val and her team and knowing I could trust them implicitly to help us make our dream wedding come true. We can't thank you enough Benessamy!

There's so much we can, will and should say about Val, but the short answer is that she's an absolute freakin' SUPERSTAR!

We didn't initially even consider needing any kind of event planner for our wedding, but it soon became clear that the logistics of the venue we'd picked demanded some assistance.

There really aren't any words for how much Val aided us, from taking names and contact details for literally every supplier we had, coordinating their arrival times and itineraries, being the point of contact on the day should any issues arrive all the way down to helping me cack-handedly assemble a pair of easels the day before, and inflating helium balloons the morning of, Val did it all, and made our wedding run smoother than it had any right to do given the scale and lack of foresight of our wedding.

On the day she was tireless, keeping all the music playing, keeping everyone in the right place at the right time, and I'm sure 1000 other things we didn't even notice her doing to ensure our day was utterly perfect, we came downstairs the morning after the wedding expecting to find a bombsite, only to find that Val had already been around at the end of the wedding tidying up and making our life so much simpler.

Val - you would have been an absolute bargain at 3 times the price, and you were the best money we spent in the entire wedding. Thank you so much for everything you did.
