Meticulous by nature, with a keen eye for detail, planning has always come easily to me. I gravitate towards understated elegance, timeless sophistication & stylish simplicity, but always ready to add a touch of floral magic! My background in program management & Prince2 projects has instilled a love of logic & organisation, ensuring seamless execution time and time again. And because I believe great communication is key, you can expect regular updates & a collaborative approach throughout the planning process.

Suzannah @Camellio Planning and Event
When I’m not planning weddings, you’ll find me with my husband and two beautiful children, together with our menagerie of pets, in our Essex home. I’m now a surrogate mother, to a cat, tortoise, fish and chickens!!!
My other loves are great food, great wine and great company- and if you can get all of those with a great view too, I’m one happy lady! I have a lock-down inspired love of houseplants and a garden that I can never spend too much time in.

I love to travel the world, reaching the US, China, Thailand and Cambodia but my all-time favourite holiday has to be South Africa. More recently, you’ll find me touring the UK in our trusty caravan, discovering the beauty and wonders that our home country has to offer!

Here are just a few of my favourite photos from my travels!

What's in a name?

The name Camellio holds a special meaning. When I started, I sought a name that was familiar yet unique, memorable & meaningful. My inspiration came from the beautiful camellia tree in my garden, one of the first to bloom each spring, and always a symbol to me of the new season; a new chapter & a new beginning.

The meaning of the camellia; “my destiny in your hands” resonated deeply. It reflected what I wanted to do: to help couples craft their dream weddings & to guide them towards their new beginning. Camellio is more that just a name, it’s a symbol of that journey, a testament to the power of new beginnings and the promise of destiny.
