My name is Sam Stirling and I live in Dursley with my hubby and two girls. Together with my mum Nikki, we founded Wild Jasmine Events.

I got married in 2016 at stunning Orchardleigh House in Frome. An elegant, 19th Century stately home in the heart of the Somerset countryside.

From the day I got engaged I knew what style I wanted for the Big Day and soon got Mum involved in the process. It took a whole year though of pinteresting, planning and gathering for my vision to become a reality. We spent evenings scouring websites, googling wedding centrepieces and buying samples of ribbon & chiffon. At weekends we collected jars, visited fayres and trawled shops. We loved every second of it. When the big day came it wasn't without it's hiccups - rain when I planned to get married outside! But it was the best day of my life and Mum often says it was the best day of hers too!

That was 2 years a go now. Fast-forward to present day, and the buzz for weddings

and parties hasn't diminished. That's why we decided to start our own business

helping other people create a day they'll never forget. We just love the planning

and organising it takes to create a day as important as getting married.
