Hi, I’m Jamie – the creative mind (and heart!) behind NOVU. With over a decade in the luxury wedding world, I’ve made it my mission to design celebrations filled with style, soul, and substance.

Weddings, to me, are never just about timelines and table plans—they’re about telling your story in a way that feels personal, intentional, and effortlessly beautiful. I’m passionate about the magic in the details, the big-picture thinking, and making sure every moment feels just right.

If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels truly you—elegant, soulful, and unforgettable—let’s make it happen.

MY PHILOSOPHY

At NOVU, it’s never just about planning a wedding—it’s about telling your story with style, soul, and substance. I believe luxury doesn’t mean stiff or overdone; it means thoughtful, personal, and beautifully executed. From intimate elopements in the Highlands to castle takeovers filled with magic, every celebration is designed with intention, heart, and a deep respect for your vision.

I pour my energy into creating experiences that feel effortless, but are underpinned by meticulous planning and unwavering attention to detail. I believe in doing things properly, not perfectly—because perfection isn’t the goal, authenticity is. I’ll always be honest with you, fiercely protective of your vision, and one step ahead when it counts.

I’m here to take the pressure off, guide you with warmth and clarity, and create something unforgettable—not just for you, but for everyone lucky enough to witness it.

Because the best weddings aren’t the most extravagant- they’re the most you.

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

  • I’ve always been a little obsessed with dogs—especially British Bulldogs. My beloved Vincent was not just my office companion (and occasional Zoom-call snorer), but truly the heart of my days. Though he’s no longer by my side, he’ll always be “the real boss” of NOVU.

  • A day doesn’t really start until I’ve had my Starbucks fix—White Mocha, extra shot, always. Fuelled by caffeine and creativity (in that order), you'll usually find me with a coffee in one hand and a timeline in the other.

  • You can usually find me powering through my to-do list with the greatest playlist in the background—strictly rap, strictly bangers. No opps round here, just good vibes, big energy, and bars that get the job done. Vincent approves (even if he pretends to sleep through it).

  • I’m a firm believer that any excuse is a good excuse for a city break. Give me a long weekend and a plane ticket, and I’m gone—exploring, eating, people-watching, and probably scouting out secret spots for future weddings (purely for research, of course).
