Freya has a gentle, intuitive way of planning that instantly builds trust. She’s thoughtful, calm and incredibly organised – the kind of person you’d want by your side on one of the biggest days of your life. What she creates through Desiderata is beautiful and personal. Everything is carefully shaped around her couples, with meaning in every detail.

Desiderata is a wedding planning company founded by Freya MacLeod, built on the belief that weddings should be a reflection of understated elegance and heartfelt intention. With an emphasis on trust, empathy and emotional clarity, Freya creates beautifully tailored experiences where every detail enhances the couple’s unique story and never distracts from it.

My goal is to create an experience for my couples that is intimate, extraordinary and that reflects your love story beautifully and authentically.

At the heart of Desiderata is a quiet strength: a calm, organised presence that allows couples to feel supported, understood and empowered throughout their planning journey. Freya leads with care and connection, cultivating a collaborative space where couples are gently guided to make decisions that align with their values and vision.

Desiderata offers more than planning – it offers a soft place to land. A thoughtful, intuitive approach that turns the logistics of a wedding into a meaningful, memory-making experience.

Customer Reviews

“Freya was such an unbelievable help in the run up to and on the day of our wedding in October. She coordinated all the moving parts so effortlessly – I genuinely don’t know what we would’ve done without her! She handled all details (that I hadn’t even thought of), sorted any hiccups, made the whole day go so smoothly and on top of that was so much fun and such a joy to work with. Having Freya was the best decision and we really truly can’t recommend her more highly!”

She thought of absolutely everything, covering all bases to make sure everything went smoothly before, during and after! we cannot be thankful enough!! The fact that she was able to effortlessly manage our wedding at seemingly short notice was great. We cannot recommend Freya enough!! thank you!”

“It was truly amazing working with Freya as our wedding co-ordinator in London over the summer. The experience from our initial briefing call through to the wedding day was seamless and exactly what we were looking for – responsive, attention to detail, prompted us to explore new ideas, reliable and overall delivery of planned items with vendors was excellent. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a 5* planner or co-ordinator.”

“We are both not sure where to start. Freya, is and will remain the best decision we made about our wedding. From minute one, she was just outstanding. She was organised, meticulous and very knowledgeable. All while being so easy and kind to talk to. We organised a three day Indian wedding. As many of you know, there are so many moving parts in an Indian wedding and without Freya, there would have been so many things we missed or didn’t pick up on. This is absolutely a reflection of the knowledge and experience she has. She has so much experience and advice about timings, speeches and what works well and what doesn’t. She really listened to the things that we wanted and made sure everything she did was personalised to what we wanted.”
