Heather Wright
REGIONAL MANAGER & Bespoke Wedding Planner- Staffordshire
From a young age, I have always dreamt of planning my own wedding. The thought of so many different elements and so many different choices, being pulled together to create one magical day, sparks a real desire to create something truly magnificent! I have 11 years of experience in the hospitality industry, building rapports and connecting with people from all walks of life, which I thoroughly enjoy. I guess my journey really started when my best friend asked me to help her plan her wedding. I utterly loved being able to help her turn her dream into a reality and this ignited my passion for weddings.

Listen to music! Whether that be old country music, rock, power ballads or the charts! No matter what the mood, there’s always something to suit. I love the power of music!
Where would your favourite holiday destination be and why?
Italy! I think there’s something truly remarkable about there; traveling down the river on a gondola, walking around vineyards and lapping up the sun. Plus, it seems like such a romantic place.. or maybe I’ve just watched ‘Letters to Juliet’ a few too many times!
What is your favourite food?
Italian
