Planning that turns big days into calm days
Marlowe & Vine Events plans weddings and private celebrations from a single white room above Peck Street, three blocks from the water, where a palette or a floor plan is easiest to judge.
The office was founded by an experienced hotel-banqueting planner on one working rule: no date is held until the scope, the supplier list, the schedule and the fee are agreed in writing. That rule turns an urgent enquiry into a consultation and a short wait, and it is kept because the alternative is a couple discovering what was never included on the morning of the wedding.
Suppliers are recommended for their fit with the couple, never resold. No commission is taken from a florist, a caterer, a band or a venue, and every contract is signed between the couple and the supplier directly, so the advice about which caterer is best belongs entirely to the couple.
Three promises behind every wedding
-
The estimate is the fee
A published price covers the published scope. Any change is quoted before it is made and tracked against the budget, never invoiced after it.
-
One wedding to a date
The planner who runs the consultation runs the day as well. A date is never double-booked to fill a diary.
-
A decline is an answer
Work outside the office’s range, such as events over 300 guests, is declined at the consultation with a reason and, where possible, a better-suited name.
How a wedding comes together, in four steps
-
Step 1
Enquiry
Write through the contact form or telephone the office. A preferred planner can be named; availability is confirmed separately.
-
Step 2
Consultation
Free and without obligation. Season, guest count, venues and an honest budget are discussed, then written up and sent afterwards.
-
Step 3
Proposal and estimate
A fixed fee for the agreed scope, a payment schedule and a clear list of what stays with the couple.
-
Step 4
The date itself
A run sheet to every supplier, a rehearsal in person and coordinators on site from the first delivery to the final send-off.
What this website does
This site publishes the office’s services, prices and hours and carries a contact form. It does not confirm an appointment. The Book action sends the visitor to the office’s configured booking destination, and a date is only ever confirmed by the office directly.
Begin with a free consultation
Bring a season, a rough guest count and an honest budget. You leave with a written summary of what was discussed and what it would cost, and no obligation.
