Alexandra Tofield, wedding planner and founder of I Do Weddings

Meet Alex

Hi, I’m Alex, the planner, cheerleader, spreadsheet-slayer, and romantic heart behind I Do Wedding & Event Planning.

With over two decades in the world of events, I’ve learned that the true magic of a wedding isn’t just in how it looks, it’s in how it feels. My love of organisation, design, and detail has grown into something far more meaningful: helping couples create celebrations that feel effortless, personal, and completely their own.

As an independent planner and coordinator, I work closely with you to shape a day that reflects who you are, what you love, and how you want to celebrate. My role is to be your calm in the chaos, whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a grand celebration, or something beautifully in between.

Because your wedding should be a true reflection of you: thoughtful, meaningful, and full of heart.

Real stories from real couples

Rebekah and Samuel on their wedding day
“We had the most beautiful wedding, thanks to Alex. From the very beginning, she made the journey so effortless for us, especially as we only gave ourselves four months to pull it all together! No request was deemed impossible, and every little detail was considered a top priority to her. I wish we could relive it all over again! Thank you so much, Alex; you’re an absolute dream! xx”
Rebekah & Samuel
Alessia and Alex’s wedding
“Alex was incredible from the very start. On the day itself, the venue looked immaculate and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Her calm confidence, humour, and creativity brought everything together beautifully.”
Alessia & Alex
Ben and Aivery’s wedding
“I was sitting in the bridal car feeling nervous and unsure, but Alex came straight over and instantly calmed me down. In that moment, I realised what a truly brilliant coordinator and planner she is.”
Ben & Aivery
Kathryn and Andrew’s wedding
