1. What is an event planner?
Imagine a dedicated event concierge, meticulously handling every intricate detail of your celebration. That's precisely what Isabella Rose Studio offers. We act as your trusted partner, curating your event design, managing budgets, assisting with guest accommodations, and carefully selecting suppliers – all while creating a comprehensive schedule that ensures every aspect is meticulously planned. On the event day itself, we seamlessly oversee all logistical operations, supervise setup, coordinate suppliers, and ensure everything runs flawlessly from start to finish.
2. What type of events do you plan?
Our expertise encompasses a diverse range of luxury events, each tailored to your unique needs and preferences. From exquisite weddings and intimate celebrations to groundbreaking brand launches and corporate gatherings, we have the creativity, resources, and meticulous attention to detail to bring your vision to life. Whether you dream of a lavish destination wedding, a sophisticated product launch, or a chic private party, we can curate an unforgettable experience that exceeds your expectations and leaves a lasting impression.
3. When should I start planning my event/wedding?
The ideal timeline depends on the type of event. Typically, couples reach out 12 – 18 months before their wedding to allow for a wider selection of suppliers. For private individuals and brands, we can produce events with shorter lead times, but 3 – 6 months is typically ideal.
For those with months to plan, decisiveness, responsiveness, and organisation are key. Conversely, couples with more time to plan can expect ebbs and flows – periods of bustling activity followed by calmer stretches with fewer immediate tasks.

10. How much does a full planner cost?
Event planners in the UK typically charge a percentage of the final event spend, as larger budgets often involve more complex planning. For example, a wedding typically requires 500-600 hours of planning, from conceptualisation to execution. Therefore, the fee reflects the work involved.
Event Planners will often set a minimum spend to reflect the level and style of events they specialise in. The planner’s fee will either be the percentage of your final spend or their minimum fee, whichever is the greater. Some planners charge a fixed fee, particularly for the larger event budgets, though this fee may increase incrementally if the scope of the event expands or changes.
Our Full-Service Planning fee is typically based on a percentage of your final event spend, with a minimum fee that depends on the size, complexity, and duration of your celebration. Therefore, a consultation is always required before we can provide a quote for your event. We do also offer different services to suit all budgets which can be read about here.
11. Which insurances do you carry?
We are fully insured and carry Public Liability, Employers Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance. The suppliers and venues we work with also have these levels of insurance and are vetted by our team before engaging them. We also carry out risk assessments and require all suppliers to do the same before the event. We work with a Health & Safety consultant to ensure health and safety is paramount on site for not only suppliers, but also your guests.
