Poppy Hansford is such a good chaperone (The Wedding Guest Chaperone), my parents were so well looked after at The Tower of London for a family wedding! Allowed us, the family to enjoy the day knowing they were in safe hands. Thank you Poppy x

Poppy looked after my dad at my wedding, and I couldn't have asked for a better person to help out. She constantly kept in contact before the wedding to find out as much about dad as she needed to be able to look after him! She arrived early at the care home to help dad get ready and get used to her and sent the cutest picture of him all ready in his suit to me so I felt so comfortable knowing he was well looked after! No one had to worry about dad all day we were all able to enjoy ourselves knowing he was completely taken care of and well looked after! I couldn't have asked for a better day! And when he had enough and was tired she took him back to the care home so no one had to leave the wedding early! I'm so glad I found Poppy on Facebook!

Thank you so much Poppy for all your help accompanying my dad to my wedding. You were absolutely amazing with him and made him feel so at ease straight away.
The contact throughout was incredible, even before the wedding you really took the time to understand his needs and were so reassuring that he was in good hands. We had so many comments all day about how amazing you were with him.
I felt like I didn’t need to worry about him at all as he was happy and taken care of all day.
We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you so much.

What a godsend Poppy is. Our beautiful daughter Faye got married at the weekend a 3 day event and Poppy was the constant companion for my mum who has complex needs. Poppy was like one of the family, she was full of love and empathy for mum. Having poppy join us helped us to enjoy the day knowing that mum was cared for her every wish was fulfilled by Poppy and we couldn’t have had the wedding we wished for without her. I will forever be in your debt Poppy , for the compassion, reassurance you gave to us throughout, the friendship and support you gave to mum. You are a star with your warmth and love for what you do we are eternally grateful.
If you’re planning an event and you need a loved one cared for and looked after then look no further Poppy is the answer.
Thank you Poppy

I found Poppy to help take care of my Grandma so that my family, especially Grandpa could relax and enjoy the day. Poppy went above and beyond anything I could have imagined, feedback from my friends and family were that they’d have adopted her if they could. The day went without a hitch and everyone loved her prescience.
My father noted he ‘expected a nanny mcphee type to arrive’, so he was happily surprised!
For any other events, I know friends and family will be thinking of Poppy and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
There is no price I wouldn’t have paid to have the memories and pictures I now have from our big day.

An Exceptional Wedding Chaperone — Poppy Made the Impossible Possible
There are truly no words to describe how amazing Poppy’s wedding chaperone service is. We were absolutely delighted with the care, warmth, and professionalism Poppy showed towards my mum and dad at our daughter’s wedding. Poppy provided a service unlike anything I’ve experienced — a perfect blend of expert care and deep emotional understanding of what family moments mean on a wedding day.
Every detail reflected her thoughtfulness. From the way she treated my parents with dignity, kindness, and fun, to ensuring they were not just present but truly part of our celebration, Poppy thought of everything. She planned their day with care, offered discreet support, made sure they were included in the photos and laughter, and anticipated every possible need before we even noticed it.
Because of Poppy, my dad stood proudly to watch his granddaughter arrive, my mum was beaming with joy, and our whole family created memories we will treasure forever. Watching Poppy at work was incredible — but what touched us most was how she felt like part of the family from the moment she arrived. She greeted my parents with hugs, genuine warmth, and excitement, making them feel valued, safe, and ready to enjoy such a special day.
Since the wedding, my parents haven’t stopped talking about Poppy describing her as “exceptional” and “brilliant”. We’ll definitely be booking Poppy again for our younger daughter’s wedding. I highly, highly recommend the Wedding Chaperone service.

Poppy went above and beyond to secure a chaperone for my 83-year-old grandma at my wedding and Hannah, the lady who attended, was fantastic.
She was attentive, kind, caring and gave me and my entire family peace of mind for the big day. thank you so much Hannah!!

SurreyInitially thinking it was an expensive additional cost, I have to say Poppy was worth every penny and more!! She went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing weekend, dealing with last minute challenges calmly and efficiently. My parent’s had a wonderful time and thanks to Poppy’s outgoing and friendly nature, they immediately took to her and let her help, (even when they didn’t think they needed it!)
Sadly my mother passed away recently, but with Poppy’s support, Mum was able to enjoy my daughter’s wedding to the full and give us as a family some wonderful, lasting memories which wouldn’t have been possible without Poppy’s help.
