Wedding & Event Planner | Cheshire, Derbyshire & Yorkshire
Meet Victoria (or Tor, as most people call me!) - Your Wedding Planner in Derbyshire. Yorkshire & Beyond
Hello! I’m Victoria, a wedding planner based in Glossop, Derbyshire, nestled in the stunning Peak District just outside Manchester. Originally from Yorkshire, I now spend my days helping couples like you turn their dream weddings into reality—without the stress.
The photo you see here? That was taken shortly after my husband, Steven, and I said those magical words: "I do." After 18 months of meticulous planning, I experienced firsthand what it’s like to see a vision come to life—every detail, every carefully chosen element, all coming together for the most perfect day. That feeling is exactly what I want for you: the joy of being fully present, knowing everything is expertly handled.
Why Wedding Planning?
With nearly 15 years in international corporate events, I thrived on organisation, logistics, and creative problem-solving—skills that naturally led me to wedding planning. In July 2021, I took the leap and launched my own business, bringing my expertise into an industry I truly love.
I was drawn to weddings because of their warmth and personal connections—a refreshing change from the high-pressure corporate world. My background has prepared me for anything (I once had to navigate the aftermath of a major airline crash during an aviation event in Malaysia!), so you can trust that no challenge is too big.
Planning my own wedding—and helping friends and family with theirs—opened my eyes to how overwhelming and time-consuming the process can be. Add in the chaos of the Covid-19 pandemic, and I knew I wanted to help couples create their dream weddings, no matter the obstacles.
What to Expect When Working With Me
I’m a firm believer that wedding planning should feel exciting, not stressful. My approach is:
-
Collaborative & Personalised – I take the time to listen to your vision, ensuring your wedding is a reflection of you as a couple.
-
Organised & Methodical – From timelines to supplier management, I ensure no detail is overlooked.
-
Calm & Prepared – Whether it’s a last-minute supplier hiccup or an overflowing toilet at a marquee wedding (yes, that happened!), I handle everything so you don’t have to. In fact, it will be fixed before you even notice.
-
Always Accessible – From our initial complimentary consultation to the big day, I’m here to answer questions, ease concerns, and offer guidance whenever needed.
-
Hands-On & Detail-Oriented – On your wedding day, you’ll find me with my trusty clipboard and emergency kit (check out my Instagram reel for a peek inside!) ensuring everything runs smoothly.
The best part? Many of my couples start as clients and become friends, making this job even more special.
