Planning a wedding should feel joyful. But for many couples balancing demanding careers in London, Cambridge and across Cambridgeshire, it can quickly start to feel like a second full-time job.
Between venue visits, supplier research and endless decision-making, even the most organised bride or groom can feel overwhelmed. And when you’re investing £50,000 or more into your big day, the pressure to get everything right only increases.
That’s where Peterborough-based wedding planner Helen Rome steps in.
With the launch of Elite Weddings & Events, Helen is bringing more than 25 years of event expertise to luxury weddings across Peterborough, Stamford, Cambridgeshire, Rutland and the wider East of England.
“Couples shouldn’t be worrying about suppliers or timelines on their wedding day. They should be present.”
From corporate precision to luxury weddings
Helen’s career began in international event coordination, managing travel, hotels and logistics for high-level corporate meetings across Europe. She later served as an Event Manager for a Peterborough charity, delivering elegant fundraising balls and gala evenings that raised thousands for good causes.
After founding her consultancy in 2017, she became known for her meticulous organisation and calm presence under pressure. Now, through Elite Weddings & Events, she’s focusing that experience on helping couples plan refined, beautifully executed weddings without the stress.
“I’m passionate about creating events where people can simply turn up and enjoy the moment,” Helen explains. “Couples shouldn’t be worrying about suppliers or timelines on their wedding day. They should be present.”
It’s this blend of logistical expertise and emotional reassurance that has earned her the reputation as the “calm in the chaos.”
“For many couples, outsourcing the planning isn’t a luxury anymore, it’s a necessity.”

Do you really need a wedding planner?
According to Helen, modern weddings have become complex, multi-supplier productions.
“You’re effectively project managing an event with contracts, schedules, guest logistics and emotional investment attached,” she says. “It’s a lot for anyone, especially if you’re working full time.”
- You’re struggling to find time to research and manage suppliers
- You want access to trusted local venues and creatives
- You’re planning a high-budget wedding and want it executed flawlessly
- You’d like your engagement to feel exciting rather than overwhelming
“The goal is simple: protect the joy, remove the stress, and deliver every detail flawlessly.”
Why more East of England couples are outsourcing wedding planning
As careers become more demanding and expectations around weddings continue to rise, more couples across Cambridgeshire and surrounding counties are choosing to outsource the logistics.
For Helen, the mission is simple. Protect the joy. Remove the stress. Deliver the detail.
