Get wedding planner jobs in Sunderland →How it works

There's steady wedding planner work in Sunderland: it's Durham-county castles and coastal hotels at strong-value North East prices, and clients here book at Lumley Castle, Roker Hotel and Beamish Hall plus a long tail of smaller venues across the North East.

Rates in Sunderland run about £1,500–£3,425 for full wedding planning. You set your own price, quote only the briefs you want, and pay nothing up front.

Every lead includes the date, venue and budget before you commit to quoting. Sunderland weekends book out early in the year — pros with finished profiles catch that first wave.

Wedding & Event Planners jobs in Sunderland — FAQs

Is there a fee to list as a wedding planner in Sunderland?

No. Creating your profile and listing in Sunderland is completely free. There's no monthly subscription, no listing fee and no pay-to-rank. You only pay a 7.5% commission when a customer confirms a booking with you.

How do wedding & event planners get jobs in Sunderland?

Customers in and around Sunderland submit quote requests on Bookt with their date, location and brief. We match the request to wedding & event planners who cover that area and you can reply with a personalised quote. You control your pricing, availability and what you say yes to.

How much can I earn as a wedding planner in Sunderland?

Every wedding planner sets their own rates — Bookt doesn't cap or cut your price. We take 7.5% only when a booking completes. So if you quote £1,500 and the customer books, Bookt's fee is £112.50 and you keep £1,387.50. No subscription means it costs you nothing in months where you don't book.

Do I have to live in Sunderland?

No — Bookt matches by your travel radius, not your postcode. Any wedding planner who covers Sunderland as part of their service area can apply for jobs here, whether you're based in the city itself or commuting in for events.

When do I get paid?

The customer pays a 25% deposit when they book, held in Stripe. If the event is more than 30 days away, the deposit transfers to your payout account 30 days after booking (less our 7.5%). If the event is sooner, the deposit transfers after you mark the job done and the customer confirms — usually next day. The remaining 75% is paid directly between you and the customer on whatever terms you agree.

Can I leave if it's not working?

Yes, any time. There's no lock-in, no notice period, no exit fee. Archive your profile from the dashboard and you stop receiving leads that day.
