BEHIND WHOLE LOTTA LOVE
At Whole Lotta Love, wedding planning is approached with intention, clarity and creative integrity. Modern, design-led and thoughtfully structured, every celebration is shaped with purpose — never formula.
Founded by Zuza, the studio blends creative direction with meticulous organisation, ensuring each wedding feels cohesive, considered and deeply personal. With a background rooted in creativity and production, Zuza brings both vision and structure to the process — balancing aesthetics with seamless execution.
Every detail is carefully curated, from the overarching design concept to the smallest, often unnoticed touches that quietly elevate the guest experience. Nothing is accidental. Everything has meaning.
Whole Lotta Love began as a one-woman studio, built on instinct, instinct refined by experience, and a desire to approach weddings differently.
As demand grew, so did the network of trusted collaborators — skilled creatives and logistical specialists brought in when required — while the creative direction and client relationship remain personally led by Zuza.
Today, the focus is simple: to design and deliver contemporary UK weddings that feel intentional, beautifully resolved, and unmistakably yours.
Based in London and working across the UK, I support couples seeking a design-led UK wedding planner with strategic expertise.
Zuza Mcken
OWNER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR, AND HEAD PRODUCER
I’m Zuza — a London-based wedding planner specialising in modern, design-led weddings.
Before moving into weddings, I built my career in advertising project management, working closely with high-net-worth clients on complex, high-pressure campaigns. That experience shaped the way I plan today: calm, structured, highly organised — and always detail-driven, without compromising creativity.
I design weddings that feel intentional, personal and beautifully resolved — never formulaic. I remain closely involved throughout the planning journey, leading both logistics and creative direction to ensure every element feels cohesive, considered and entirely reflective of you.
While I collaborate with a trusted network of specialist creatives and production professionals when required, each wedding is personally overseen and creatively directed by me.
Outside of weddings, my creative influences come from fashion, music and mid-century design. I have a particular admiration for the Alessandro Michele era at Gucci — bold yet intelligent, expressive yet refined — a balance that quietly informs my aesthetic approach.
When I’m not immersed in planning, you’ll usually find me walking my dogs, Ziggy & Gloria, on Wimbledon Common.
OUR IDEAL CLIENTS
I work with couples who value design integrity, guest experience and thoughtful execution over spectacle for its own sake.
My clients are often balancing demanding careers and full lives. They have strong taste, clear standards and little appetite for mediocrity — but limited time to navigate the complexity of modern wedding planning alone.
They’re not looking for “just a pretty day”. They want a celebration that feels cohesive, atmospheric and deeply personal. A wedding where every element has been considered — from the visual identity to the guest flow — and where the experience feels effortless because it has been expertly structured behind the scenes.
I specialise in design-led wedding planning with a contemporary sensibility, translating bold ideas into beautifully resolved realities — without the overwhelm.
I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure every couple receives my full attention, creative focus and strategic oversight. This allows for a genuinely collaborative relationship built on trust, clarity and shared ambition.
My planning is offered on a percentage-based model, typically 15% of your overall wedding budget, with a minimum investment. This reflects the level of involvement, time and expertise required to deliver a considered, high-calibre celebration.
If you’re seeking a planning partner who understands both aesthetics and logistics — and who can quietly steer the process with confidence — we may be an excellent fit.
KIND WORDS
"I DON'T THINK 5-STARS ARE ENOUGH...
"I don't think 5-stars are enough to properly rate Zuza's exquisite work!
Her dedication, professionalism and extremely high work ethic really changes the concept of planning a wedding. Throughout the process there was not one moment where I felt stress, anxiousness or the need to be worried as I knew everything was under control at all times.
Her communication and organisational skills are impeccable and she will ensure you feel in control at all times whilst enjoying this special time in your life.
What I really like about Zuza is her sense of style. She is classy, original and has a very unique vision in creating a tailored concept that works just for you. She doesn't have one mold that fits all couples and she doesn't make assumptions. She carefully prepares a plan that will make your wedding a one-of-a kind!
You can also see how much she enjoys her profession, her warm smile makes you want to invite her as a guest rather than the coordinator for the day! I cannot recommend her enough- this is coming not only from me (the customer) but I received the same feedback about her from some of the suppliers that worked with her for my wedding.
Definitely a no-brainer if you want a stress-free plan in which you can enjoy your special day and the process leading towards it! If I did it all again, Zuza would be my person of choice every time!"
