About LND Events | Yorkshire based wedding planning

Welcome to LND Events

Ellen Davies, Founder

Hello! I’m Ellen and I’m so pleased you stopped by. I am a Yorkshire born and bred event planner with a love for creativity! It holds a special place in my heart, alongside: my dog, my horse, music, films and the great outdoors. I feel each of these passions help me become the best moment-maker and story-teller I can be.

Why I Plan Events?

When I create memorable and cherished experiences, I feel honoured to play such a special role in those moments. I’m dedicated to transforming your dream occasions into a reality. After all, it’s my ultimate wish to build meaningful and lasting relationships with the people I work with.

Get in Touch

I love blending affection, creativity and sparkles to ensure our events are inspiring, memorable and (most of all) fun for everyone involved.

Are you ready to brew up brilliance? I’ll pop the kettle on and let’s make magic!

Ellen Davies, Owner LND Events

We're Proud to be a Part of...

Tropical Vibes! ⠀
⠀
The heat has got me thinking back to this wonderful shoot at @langtonhallyorkshire where I used pops of pink neon to modernise the decaying, derelict vibe we were going for (FYI Langton is neither of those things now and you should definitely check out the superb renovation the owner has undertaken). ⠀
⠀
This table was brought to life by real palms and tropical florals from @the_petal_studio gorgeous tableware from @wharfesidehire matching palms and tropical stationery from @rachelemmastudio and favours from @wheretheribbonends although right now I would totally be up for asking Gayle to swap her amazing chocolate favours for real ice-cream ones! New sideline for them?? ⠀

Happy Fathers Day! ⠀
⠀
To my very own dad who, in this picture, was about to walk me down the aisle four years ago. ⠀
⠀
My dad lives in Spain so it will be best wishes remotely from me but there are celebrations happening in house too as my toddler made my husband a lovely card (see my insta stories) and for once he was made to lie in so we could do breakfast in bed. ⠀
⠀
Now we just need the sunshine of yesterday to come back so we can go and have some fun outside.

Matching
Some people have an amazing knack of putting things together that on paper, perhaps shouldn’t match. I on the other hand, like things to tie in and have a theme.
Whether it be by colour or style, I like a consistency running through.... it’s the organiser in me.
So when I put together a dining scene to depict the opportunity to host supper clubs at @whitesykefields I loved that @wheretheribbonends and @graystarlingdesigns could match up the cake to the stationery for me.
Lots of suppliers made this scene possible. Tap to find out more. 📸 @lissaalexandraphoto

This weeks mood got me like...... ⠀
⠀
You may (or may not, who knows with algorithms nowadays) have noticed I’ve been lacking in posts on here. ⠀
⠀
To be honest it’s been hard deciding whether to keep posting happy, lovely and upbeat images when, I’m sure we’re all well aware of all the sad and outrageous things going on. Sometimes it feels too trivial but sometimes it feels like it’s what we need to counteract all the crap! ⠀
⠀
It’s also such a hard time for my industry if like me, you’re dreadful at taking your own imagery - with all events and photo shoots on hold, I’m lacking in refreshing content but as soon as it’s safe I’ll be itching to start planning and styling again. Shout if you fancy a collab. ⠀
⠀
I wish you all a rocking weekend as hard as that is when the weather laughs in the face of new restriction easing! 🤪⠀

Festival vibes. ⠀
⠀
This shoot is almost a year old now but it’s still being shared, most recently by a new, York based magazine called Joy. ⠀
⠀
I did a poll on my stories the other day asking whether people would prefer to stick to paler, classic wedding colours or dare to do dramatic or different. Most preferred the more neutral tones but I absolutely love how this shot captures just how bright you can go at a wedding - I did it at my own, and it still looks amazing. ⠀

Sweetheart tables ⠀
⠀
If you have a complicated family set up or so many people you’d like at your top table that it begins to look too imposing in the room, a fantastic alternative is a sweetheart table for just you and your loved one. ⠀
⠀
I’ve styled a few including this one which was for an elopement shoot - obviously all about the two of you! ⠀
More details of this shoot will be featured on @unveiledmag very soon which I am SO excited about. ⠀

With thanks to all the suppliers tagged in who helped me make it possible. ⠀

Happy anniversary.... ⠀
⠀
.... to me! Oh and my other half 😆⠀
⠀
Today we’re celebrating four years since our ELfestivAL wedding which, despite the torrential rain all day, was totally amazing. ⠀
⠀
Of course this year will be celebrated a bit differently but we’re both taking the day off at least. ⠀
⠀
Now where’s that sun gone?! ⠀

Today should have been Ellie and Sam’s big day in York and the start of wedding season for me.
I’d already come to terms with losing a big festival I was working on and some other fabulous Easter events I was lucky to be part of but it feels really weird to slowly be kissing goodbye to all my weddings for 2020.
Of course I’m sad for myself but I haven’t been wallowing in self pity because all I see around me is people in the same or even worse positions - something I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
What’s really heartbreaking though, is putting myself in the shoes of all my lovely couples and clients. I’ve lost work but they’ve lost a dream, a vision and a ‘what should have been’. I can tell you though, next year is going to be something else. The longer the wait, the sweeter the kiss and I cannot wait for the parties, the rejoicing and the love to be shining through again.
To Ellie and Sam xx .

Today’s shout out is to @wheelandspoke who I worked with at the beginning of this year after first collaborating on this shoot the year before. .
Connor and I should have been working on two more weddings together the year too but the dreaded you know what, our pay to that! .
Here’s to 2021!! .
I’m sure you’ll agree this film is beautiful and I can’t wait to see the final edit of this year’s collaboration which I know is on its way. .

Wednesday Words⠀
⠀
Hello! I thought it’s about time I show my face on here again. It’s not something I love doing and out of the 9 odd thousand photos I seem to possess on my phone, I only have about four photos of me without a small child, horse or dog attached - it was actually one of my business goals to get some new branding images this year but hey ho. You’re not getting one of me in lock down though 😆⠀
⠀
How are you all doing? Surviving is a word I keep using! ⠀
⠀
I’m aware I’ve not addressed this horrid situation we all find ourselves in, on social media yet but that’s not to say it’s not something I am painfully aware of; I think you’d have to be a hibernating bear to escape what’s going on to be honest!⠀
⠀
I have found keeping up with posting hard enough and constantly berating myself for not excelling on here like I’m seeing some amazing other planners and other industry folk but my partner is a key worker and I am spending the days entertaining a two year old so once that’s over, quite frankly I can’t be arsed! ⠀
HOWEVER, I am also very aware of my fortunate circumstances compared to others and I am still very much here behind the scenes. ⠀
⠀
I have really enjoyed taking new enquiries and as heartbreaking as it’s been to move weddings for some of my couples, I am really excited to start next year a new with them and bring them that outstanding occasion they all deserve. ⠀
⠀
So (cue cheesy link to image) if you want to talk, whether you’re a new couple/client or one of my existing bookings then I am here for you. ⠀
I am loving Zoom so I can see people outside of my own four walls, and anyone who knows me knows I love to chat so please don’t hesitate. ⠀
Disclaimer - I am also answering emails if the thought of another human voice is too scary 😘⠀
⠀

I’d not worked with Alex before but I LOVE her style and I hope to have the pleasure again soon. ⠀

Today’s shout out of suppliers I’ve worked with this year, is to @balloonsbyamy although this image #throwsback to when we first worked together last year. ⠀
⠀
Having moved midway between my old city of York and the Coast, I’ve been keen to make coastal connections within the event industry for quite a while. I saw that the lovely Little Pearl Bridal shop had used Amy to decorate their valentines window and it was amazing - a bonus being that Amy is also based in Scarborough. ⠀
I talked to Amy about my disco shoot - yes she’s the awesome supplier who did the ombré backdrop you see in a lot of the images, all custom to my business branding colours. ⠀
⠀
In between when I actually managed to get that going and our first chat, the opportunity came to do a mini shoot at the Manor Rooms where I thought dressing the huge bi-folding doors they have, with balloons would look amazing. ⠀
What I hadn’t appreciated is that Amy had suffered a horrific accident in between our conversations and she was unable to drive at the time and needed aid to walk. ⠀
⠀
Instead of quite understandably cancelling, she made arrangements to be able to still do the shoot and made this beautiful arrangement. ⠀
⠀
Amy uses biodegradable balloons, definitely doesn’t advocate any balloon releases (nor do I) and disposes of them safely to keep the environment in mind when having such a structure. ⠀
⠀
Check out her work and don’t be afraid to discuss custom ideas, Amy can do anything! ⠀
