Scottish Wedding Planner

About Us

"Happiness comes when you believe in what your doing, know what you are doing, and love what you are doing"

Premier Weddings and Events Scotland was founded in 2007 by Cheryl and Lucy Swanson. Cheryl and Lucy are best friends,as well as sisters, with very complimentary business skills.

Cheryl has significant experience in all areas of business, graduating with a BA:Hons Marketing from the Business School at Strathclyde University Glasgow in 1999. Her introduction to event management came whilst working at Coca Cola Enterprises Ltd and she has never looked back. Co-ordinating events comes naturally to Cheryl and as her wedding industry knowledge, expertise, wedding venue contacts and high end supplier list grows, so does her dedication to unique and bespoke weddings.

Lucy graduated as a school teacher from Strathclyde University, with a BEd:Hons in Primary Education. Predominately known for her energetic disposition and her people skills, her employment as a sports coordinator gave her her initial event planning experience. Even though she has successfully managed different sporting events for hundreds of individuals across Scotland and the USA, it was her love of weddings that directed her towards wedding planning. Lucy has a firm belief that Scotland is the ultimate destination wedding location and that all wedding requests and dreams can be played out on its stage.

Both sisters share a passion and enjoyment of Scotland, and weddings, that is second to none. They take pride in delivering weddings in Scotland that are perfect, memorable and stress free for the brides and grooms.

Our Service

It's your day. It's all about you!

We provide a bespoke, highly personalised wedding coordination service. We believe a wedding should be a reflection of the couple and represent what matters to them. No two people in the world are the same and we believe no two weddings should be the same.

It's these beliefs that form the foundations for our tailored, flexible and very personal service.

We can do full service coordination ( everything for you) through to you cherry-picking a few elements for us to help with, right through to just the on the day coordination. It's your choice.

Communication is key, and an area we excel in. From the outset we pride ourself on spending a great deal of time understanding exactly what your needs and wants are, your budget, and your vision for your big day. It's this knowledge, and the relationship that we develop with the couple, that enables us to deliver exactly what you envisage, exceeding all your expectations.

Advantages of booking a planner also include maximising the return from whatever budget you have and the elimination of any stress, allowing you to really enjoy the build up to your wedding... How it should be!

We can also plan and coordinate Birthday Parties, Vow Renewals, Civil Partnerships, Christenings, Bar/Bat-Mitzvahs, Baby Showers, Corporate and Destination events to name just a few...

A big thank you for all your hard work. It was just a wonderful day. The guests were amazed and they enjoyed every minute. Could not have done it without you.

Our wedding was just so incredible! I am at a loss for words that truly express it. The entire day was everything we wanted! Thank you so much for helping us, we could not have done it without you. You are indeed a real gem!
Mr and Mrs W Langbehn, Aug 2013

We are still on a high! The wedding weekend was amazing and it was all down to your planning and execution! We cannot thank you enough!
Sandra and Iain Millership, Aug 2013

Cheryl and Lucy, my wedding angels! Our wedding was enchanted, all our relatives left feeling like they’d lived a truly unique once in a lifetime experience. It was your management that made this all happen!
Larissa and Fernando Leira, Jul 2013

Not only was your planning and delivery exceptional but the personal touch from start to finish, was unforgettable- full of warmth with a “can do attitude”. Our wedding day was perfection!
Pam and Ashok Bains, Dec 2012

Words fail us in trying to express or gratitude for everything you’ve done for us. We feel totally blessed for having you there to help and support us on our wedding journey. The communication was excellent and we always felt Cheryl and Lucy had things “in hand”. This was very reassuring. The immaculate organisation of everything as well as hard work and dedication resulted in the most wonderful experience, better than we could ever have imagined.
Minni and Robert Lockhart, June 2012

What can we say apart from thank you! Your absolutely professional and fantastic work left us stunned!! Our dreams came true!
Judit and Eduardo Sanchez, Nov 2011

Thank you so much for delivering the wedding of our dreams!
Harneen and Amrit Dhillon, Jul 2011

"We were a bit nervous about strangers taking care of the coordination of our wedding, in a city that was foreign to us. However, we needn't have worried as Cheryl and Lucy immediately put our minds at ease. Our wedding was more than we had ever dreamed it would be! We had a beautiful, stress-free ceremony and vacation in the Highlands, thanks to Premier Wedding Planners Scotland. The girls really hit the note as regards suggestions for our venue, accommodation, flowers
and photography. We would recommend them a thousand times over!"
Ken and Millie Stanford, Feb 2011

We can't thank you enough for all your hard work! We were reluctant to hire a wedding planner, but after going deep into the matter we soon found out it was the best decision we could have made! There are so many things we would never have thought of! Our wedding turned out to be a bigger project than we ever imagined and we can’t thank you enough for taking all that work from us. Thinking back, pre, during and post wedding, we don’t think there was anything you could have done better. We called you our "good fairy", as you made our day perfect! We wish you were in our everyday lives to get us organised! Organising a wedding is a job on its own. Unless you want it to be your only job, get professionals- get Cheryl and Lucy!
Maja and Steven Stirrat, Sept 2010
