Welcome to the Couture Atelier

Coaching and mentorship for newly founded and established wedding planners seeking considered guidance from a leading authority in the wedding industry.

Led by award-winning luxury wedding planner Susannah Parker, founder of Couture Events, The Couture Coaching Academy draws on over 15 years of experience delivering impeccably orchestrated, multi-day wedding weekends at some of the UK’s most prestigious private estates and stately homes.

Susannah is the sole contracted events partner to Harrods, an Elite Member of the UK Association of Wedding Planners, and a nationally recognised industry authority, renowned for her calm leadership, refined aesthetic and mastery of complex, high-touch celebrations for international and ultra-high-net-worth clients.

Couture Events is widely known for creating sophisticated, quietly luxurious wedding weekends—celebrations defined not by excess or spectacle, but by intentional design, cultural sensitivity, and seamless execution. This reputation has been built through discretion, word-of-mouth, and consistently exceptional delivery at the highest level of the market.

The Couture Coaching Academy was created to bring this same level of discernment, clarity, and strategic refinement to a select group of established wedding and event professionals—those ready to evolve beyond industry norms and build businesses that reflect both their expertise and their values.

MINDSET - MOTIVATION - MASTERY

“I know how isolating it can feel to build a wedding business without anyone to sense-check your thinking, offer targeted advice and share best practice. The Atelier is a safe space for exactly this; we focus on the areas holding you back and I share the insights, systems and processes that transformed my own practice — from its earliest days to delivering million pound weddings, at the very highest level.”

Susannah Parker, Founder and Creative Director, Couture Events Ltd
