I'm Aimée, the founder, lead planner, and the passionate heart behind One Oake.

Event planning is truly in my blood, having grown up watching my mum master the art of hosting. My career took off with an exhilarating internship alongside a renowned celebrity planner in London – a whirlwind experience reminiscent of 'The Devil Wears Prada'. The energy was addictive, and I craved more! I then honed my skills as a wedding and private events manager at two high end leading venues, while also working alongside talented event stylists and caterers. After years of invaluable experience, I launched One Oake. With 13 years in the industry and a genuine passion for planning beautiful celebrations, I’ve had the privilege of helping countless couples bring their dream weddings to life. I'm wholeheartedly dedicated to crafting your unique wedding story and making it a reality.

  • S&P - August 2024 - Alfriston Gardens

    Thank you again for everything, you were just amazing in every way and so professional. We appreciate everything you have done, can’t get over how beautiful it all worked out, we still can’t thank you enough and I hope you get the recognition you deserve and lots more happy couples as clients

  • Radhika and Barney - 03.05.24 - Kew Gardens

    "Aimee was incredible. She alleviated all of my stresses and worries from the moment she started. She is organised, diligent and gives excellent and well-informed advice. On the day, she and the team were spectacular. Me and Barney knew that we could enjoy the day because we could rely on One Oake to be on top of everything - from time management, dealing with challenging suppliers and just remaining calm throughout the day. I could not recommend One Oake more. I would pick them again every time!"

  • Will and Olivia – 26.08.23 – Marquee at home

    "Aimee and her team were instrumental in making our day a success. We literally couldn’t have done it without her. 150+ people in a marquee venue was not easy! Aimee really took the stress off of us and allowed us to relax and enjoy the day. I couldn’t recommend her services enough!"

  • Jane and Alex – 14.02.19 – Down Hall

    "Thank you is not a big enough word. I truly enjoyed organising our wedding with you. You are a first class wedding planner and you helped to make our day perfect and stress free. Our day was perfect and will be in our memories forever"

A BIT MORE ABOUT AIMÉE

I'm a wedding and party planner based in Essex, living near the beautiful seaside town of Leigh on Sea, Essex with my husband Ollie and our little Cockapoo, Peppa.

When I step away from wedding planning, you’ll find me enjoying time at home with my husband, Ollie, and our adorable cockapoo, Peppa. We cherish weekend getaways to the countryside, leisurely walks along the beach, and discovering charming village pubs and cozy coffee shops.

  • Carol & Chris - 05.05.24 - Venue

    - “Without Aimée, our day might perhaps have worked out okay, but we are certain it would not have been remotely as enjoyable for us. Absolutely amazing wedding organisation and she is a fun and wonderful person to work with. Could not recommend her more highly”.

  • Anna and Dom - Date - Venue

    ""Professional, knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend. We asked Aimee for some advice and recommendations with our wedding planning. Aimee was very quick to respond and gave us a fantastic selection of suppliers to look at. Her suggestions were in keeping with our requests but also varied enough to give us plenty to think about.Aimee gave us a personalised list of recommendations that were presented to us in such an elegant and beautiful way that it was almost too hard to pick from the options (in a good way). She also highlighted things that we hadn't considered but are now definitely going to go ahead with. Since using One Oake we are feeling much more organised, excited and prepared for our day. Whilst we knew wedding planning wouldn't be easy, we didn't realise quite how time consuming it would be. Aimee's advice has definitely made the process much more enjoyable and efficient. We would highly recommend!
