Kayla Henry

Founder/ Mentor

Nice to meet you! I am Kayla- The Wedding Mentor.

‘The Wedding Mentor’ idea was created back in early 2022 after I had a challenging start to planning my own wedding. With experience in event planning and having a Type A personality when it comes to event organising, it was important for me to plan our wedding without a professional wedding planner. However, I didn’t realise how overwhelming the process could be. I discovered the overwhelm was coming from external advice, endless available options, financial constraints and my own internal pressures.

My (now) husband was very supportive, however planning a wedding was not his idea of fun.

I managed to overcome this initial overwhelm and navigate my way through four wedding postponements all whilst raising a baby. And I enjoyed the process as much as my wedding day!

Since then, I have had many conversations with engaged couples about their experiences with wedding planning. All were looking to keep their costs down and plan their wedding by themselves but became overwhelmed during the process.

This is why The Wedding Mentor now exists.

I am a support for couples who want to plan their own wedding but wish they could find the resources to help them understand their options and support them in creating the wedding of their dreams. My aim is to assist couples overcome the overwhelm and enjoy the experience of planning their dream day.

If that sounds like something you need, I would love to hear from you and support you through the process.

You don’t have to do it alone. x
