Sonita had only a few weeks to assist us with our wedding. We had planned a few details but desperately needed someone with experience to help. She was fantastic, thanks and we will recommend you to all our friends!

“Sonita was recommended to us by one of her previous clients. As our wedding was very much towards the end of planning, we were looking for expert advice for on the day and management of suppliers. She produced an exceptional document in a very short period of time. She is extremely well organized and very easy going, we have no problems recommending her again.”

“Puja and I were married in November 2006 following almost 12 months of planning. Throughout the entire process Sonita was there to guide us, nudge us in the right direction, listen, and provide a third party perspective on each and every aspect of our special day. Her knowledge of both venues and suppliers was first class ensuring that everything we asked for was sourced and provided for; even those whimsical items that you only realise you want when the big day is almost upon you. Sonita’s attention to detail, including five visits to the venue and three food tastings (these are especially enjoyable) ensured that on the day itself nothing was left to chance; something which I now realise is only achieved with thorough planning – something that Sonita provides in abundance.

We were also extremely impressed with was Sonita’s ability to negotiate extremely hard with both the venue and the suppliers. Weddings are definitely not cheap affairs but we felt that with Sonita’s help we received excellent value for money. In fact I would go so far as to say that thanks to her negotiations she paid for her own services several times over.

Overall I can say with complete confidence that I would recommend Sonita to anyone who is getting married!”

We found Sonita via her website. We wanted help with sourcing a number of suppliers and also their charges. Sonita recommended us not only excellent suppliers but a fantastic service. She is thorough and very understanding of the whole wedding process we would definitely recommend her to our friends and family.

Nickie and Matt Stanbridge, Central London

Matt and I got engaged last year and I was faced with the (HUGE) task of organizing a wedding. At first I had an attempt at doing it by myself, but soon realized just how much work was involved, and how many different suppliers there are to choose from. It suddenly became a daunting experience rather than a joyous one. Finally we decided for the sake of my sanity we would start looking for a Wedding Planner. I looked at several different organizations that work in coordinating weddings before I narrowed it down to four. After meeting with each of my choices on the short list, Sonita shone through as the diamond of the few. She made me feel absolutely comfortable in her ability, her enthusiasm and energy was infectious, and thus I chose to work with Time For You.
My wedding was a massive success, many if not all regard the event as the best wedding they have ever been to, even requesting we get married again. All of the suppliers that I chose were suggested by Sonita, and all of them did a perfect job. It was a completely magical experience for both Matt and I, and will be remembered for the rest of our lives together. None of this would have been possible had it not been for the hard work Sonita and her team put into all the details of our wedding day. Another thing that Time For You excelled at was maintaining and even saving money on our budget. Sonita was very aware of the budget I outlined for her and did an amazing job of saving us quite a lot of money, which I can say my Dad was very grateful for! I never had to worry about a thing, Sonita was always on top of everything for me, and calmed my fears when they needed to be.
The whole day went without even the slightest problem thanks to the organized team at Time For You. Matt, my family and I are eternally grateful to Sonita and her team for orchestrating the biggest and most wonderful day we’ve ever experienced. I would not hesitate to recommend Sonita to anyone needing a Wedding Planner.

Sonita and her team at time for you planned our wedding to perfection. The reasons we chose Sonita was because of her passion and drive to make every wedding a success and more importantly styled to your tastes. She is creative as well as hardworking – a combination for an exceptional wedding planner. We only had a very short time to plan our wedding (and from abroad) and given the deadline she delivered a complete success. We would not hesitate to recommend Sonita to anyone needing a wedding planner.

Elena & Daniel Todary, Central London
November 2005

We are more than happy to share the highlights of our wedding day... although picking a particular moment is hard as I enjoyed the whole day so much. I think the ceremony was the most emotional part for everyone. There are no words to describe my feelings when I walked down the aisle. The thought that I was about to marry the man that I love completely and who also is my best friend, made me very excited about the new phase in life ahead. The love and support from our family and friends felt fantasticly overwhelming.
Everything went so smoothly, right down to the smallest detail. The atmosphere was great and we are very grateful to Sonita that she and all the suppliers (chosen by her) created the most amazing day of our lives. Sonita proved to be a great wedding planner & designer, especially given the fact she had a short period of time (a month) to organise everything. We did not want a long engagement and have never doubted our feelings, so wanted to get married as soon as possible.

Sonita Gale of Time For You donated her time and professionalism in the form of a wedding package prize to My Favourite Dress Charity Ball held in June 2005. This celebrity event, hosted by Zandra Rhodes was held to raise money for two children’s charities: The Fashion and Textile Museum and Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity.

With only 7 weeks to assist the winning couple, Time For You found a varity of suppliers for their wedding in Ireland and in London. Sonita of Time For You sourced the marquee hire company, the caterer, the photographer, the cake maker, the stationery supplier a wedding list service and a yoga experience to help the couple relax before their big day.

The bride who has been a supporter of Rainbow Trust for many years, was absolutely delighted with all recommended suppliers and the wedding was a complete
success.

Nealum and Simon Crookall Hollywood, Ireland
September 2005

Sonita planned, designed and orchestrated our wedding in fine style. She recommended excellent suppliers who were both of a high standard and unique to make our day very special. We worked well together choosing and designing the wedding from the colours right through to the fine details on the stationary.

Nothing was ever too much for Sonita, she was committed; her follow through in getting tasks done was remarkable and her tenacity and get up and go nature made sure things happened on time. Whenever I wanted specific things carried out in a precise way , she listened and followed my (sometimes, very demanding instructions!) very carefully and when I needed her suggestions and ideas she was always there with them.

She is not just any wedding planner but someone who works with you in making your day the best day of your life.

“Sonita hosted a party on behalf of Vama for Richard Branson’s inaugural flight party. She has good leadership and communication skills and was extremely good in dealing with some of the high profile members at Virgin Airline.”

Simon and Dory Fletcher, Central London April 2005

I wanted to find a particular cake maker to produce a cake to match the theme and design of my wedding. Sonita assisted me with finding me a cake maker and also designing the cake with me. She has a good eye for design and I will definitely recommend her again in the future.

Aron and Sophia Ferguson, Hampshire March 2005

Sonita at Time For You helped us find our ideal venue. We were looking for an intimate setting within the Gloucestershire countryside. She managed to find not only a perfect venue but a venue which accommodated for all our guests. We were extremely happy with the level of service provided and in the efficiency of her service.

Rian and Anthony Parker, Buckinghamshire March 2005

I contacted Sonita as she had been recommended to me by a colleague. I was struggling to find a makeup artist and was told that Sonita had an excellent list of suppliers who were reliable. I managed to find the best makeup artist through Sonita. The service was impeccable and apparently I looked amazing on my wedding day!

Sonita & Jonathan Gale, Berkshire August 2004

Sonita and Jonathan had a truly fairytale wedding. No stone was left unturned when it came to arranging all the details which made their special day bespoke. The impeccable attention to detail was noticed by everyone. Sonita has both flair and imagination and it was a great joy to be able to work with her. The colour scheme worked wonderfully and this was noticeable in the photographs. The unique designs created by her looked fabulous. She has a positive outlook and succeeded in all her goals.
