As a wedding planner and designer with a deep love for creating bespoke celebrations, I, Helen, am here to guide you through every detail, helping you craft an occasion that is distinctly you.
Why Choose Hampshire for Your Luxury Wedding?
Hampshire is an exquisite setting for weddings, combining countryside charm with a touch of coastal elegance. With historic estates, picturesque countryside vistas and luxury hotels, the region provides a stunning backdrop for any wedding vision. Whether you envision an outdoor garden wedding with rolling hills as your view, or a grand celebration in a historic manor, Hampshire offers endless possibilities.

My Approach to Wedding Planning & Design
At What Peggy Did Next, I believe that each wedding should reflect the unique love story of our couple. From the first consultation, I invest time in understanding your style, preferences and the little things that make your relationship unique. Together, we explore your vision, turning it into a seamless, beautifully executed reality.
With years of experience designing and planning luxury events, I focus on creating timeless celebrations that go beyond trends. I am well-connected with trusted local suppliers, venues and artisans, ensuring that every detail - from floral design to culinary experiences - are crafted with care to the highest standard.
