THE BLONDE BEHIND THE BRAND

Donna Hartley-Redfearn 

Hello, I'm Donna, the founder and lead wedding planner at North East Wedding Planners.

​If you’re looking for a unique and modern approach to creating a wedding celebration infused with fabulous food, live music and fire cracking atmosphere– then you are in the right place. 

​

Donna Hartley-Redfearn

I create effortlessly elegant, one-of-a-kind weddings that ooze style and individuality.

Nestled in the heart of Durham City, I share my life with my husband, Mark, and our two wonderful boys. Then there’s Izzy, my miniature dachshund and the absolute princess of our household. She’s spoilt, she knows it, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.. I'm exceptionally grateful to have a very 'ME' home office, and access to several modern remote work spaces to collaborate with global creatives. 

 

I love live music, whether it be a local gig or stadium concert. I'm constantly Airpod plugged in, listening to Teddy Swimms, and Fleetwood Mac and here's the curve ball meditation chants on repeat.
 

Travel is my love language—exploring new places, embracing new cultures, and chasing the perfect blend of adventure and tranquillity. From the rugged charm of a countryside cottage to the crystal-clear waters of the Canaries, paddleboarding is my escape, I find inspiration in every journey. 
 

At my core, I seek the beauty in life’s simplest pleasures. A table filled with exquisite food, laughter shared with friends, and those rare, unfiltered moments where everything feels just right. This simple life that keeps my soul singing.

​THE QUESTION I'M OFTEN ASKED

I'm often asked who my clients are. That's an easy one to answer: dynamic professionals, CEOs, medical consultants, barristers, and English aristocracy families. They all embody a love for travel, fine dining, and music while possessing a keen eye for detail and appreciating quality. Over 70% of my clients are located overseas; however, they share a common vision of hosting their wedding in beautiful England.
