Benessamy is led by Val Mattinson, a multi-award-winning wedding and event planner and industry professional with extensive experience creating and delivering weddings and celebrations.
Known for her meticulous approach, calm expertise, and attention to detail, Val works closely with clients to bring their ideas to life while managing the many moving parts behind the scenes.
Benessamy is a Member of the UK Wedding Association, supporting professional standards and best practice within the wedding industry.

We believe the best celebrations are those where every detail has been thoroughly considered, but nothing feels overworked or impersonal.
Our role is to bring clarity to the planning, creativity to the design, and calm to the delivery, allowing our clients to step away from the logistics and be fully present for the moments that matter.
From intimate celebrations to larger weddings and destination experiences, we create occasions that are beautifully executed, deeply personal, and remembered long after the last guest has left.
