The Wedding Society
Meet China & Ben Reynolds


China
With over a decade of experience in event planning, China has orchestrated numerous events and corporate launches.
Her proficiency in event organisation led her to plan a family wedding years ago. This experience began her deep dive into the wedding industry and the birth of her brainchild: The Wedding Society.
Witnessing the sheer joy of a couple commencing their shared life journey, and having a significant hand in crafting that pivotal day, was a revelation for China. This passion project turned professional and now sees her revel in the myriad details that breathe life into a wedding. From the scents of blooming flower garlands, the intricacies of table setting designs, to the palpable anticipation leading up to a bride’s grand entrance, every nuance matters.
“I especially love working with two cultures and taking the best of the couple’s worlds. It’s fascinating to meld the old with the new in a fire, and watching a Phoenix rise out of the ashes! Their new families reaching out to each other and beginning to blend seamlessly. Such a beautiful love.”
If you’re searching for a seasoned professional to shepherd the most memorable day of your life, look no further. The Wedding Society’s team is devoted to meticulously shaping an occasion that echoes your dreams, setting the stage for a serene honeymoon escape.


Ben
Ben started working in hospitality in the 1980s as a chef in local restaurants and a barman in pubs and bars.
After University, he moved into advertising where he specialised in food brands such as Cadbury’s, Green & Blacks, Uncle Ben’s Rice, Dolmio, and Findus.
His love of food led him to set up his own food retail business in London’s West End, which was similar to Pret or Eat but more gourmet.
This grew to three shops, and as more of his clientele requested their gourmet produce for offsite events, an outside catering company emerged, running events for companies in the West End. Ben and his team created menus and ran bars for corporate parties, product launches and fashion shows for companies such as Virgin, Top Shop, Top Man and Vogue.
Since 2023, he has been assisting China as an on-the-day coordinator. He is the on-the-ground, sleeves rolled up deputy, pinpointing and resolving issues before they become a problem.
