Planning K&N’s Hammond Castle wedding in Gloucester was fun - a lot of fun. K had a clear vision for a dark and elegant vibe, and the dramatic setting of the castle’s great hall was the perfect backdrop to bring it to life. With its high ceilings, historic charm, and rich architectural details, the space set the tone for a wedding that felt both intimate and timeless. To capture the mood they wanted, we incorporated deep jewel tones throughout the décor for vibrant pops of color. Gold accents tied everything together, adding a touch of warmth and elegance to the moody, dramatic atmosphere. The lighting was key—we leaned into soft, intentional lighting to enhance the castle’s natural character and create an ambiance that felt romantic and just a little mysterious.
What made the day even more special was the intentional and authentic approach K&N took. Together, we planned an intimate wedding that felt more like a elevated dinner party than a traditional wedding dance party, and it was exactly what they wanted. Friends & family gathered for a night to celebrate K&N, and it was so much fun seeing it all come to life. It was important to them to work with vendors who could embrace their vision and non-traditional approach. K&N’s wedding at Hammond Castle was everything they dreamed of and more. Watching their vision come to life in such a stunning setting was an absolute honor and a reminder of why I love what I do.
Hammond Castle Wedding
"Lauren is AMAZING. I was initially hesitant to hire a coordinator — like many brides, I thought I could do it all myself. Thank god my family and friends convinced me to seek out help. From the first meeting, I knew Lauren was the right choice. She was immediately on board with our summer camp wedding plan, didn’t balk at our less conventional choices, and steered me in the right direction on important vendor and event timing decisions. She is kind and friendly and enthusiastic but also, as my uncle put it, a bulldog — she got things DONE, (kindly) hounded vendors, and went above and beyond on reception set up. Lauren helped us make informed decisions that ensured our wedding flowed seamlessly. She took away my stress and helped us actually have FUN, like a lot of fun. I couldn’t recommend a better partner. 15/10."
