After is a Devon-based company organising wakes and memorials across Exeter and the surrounding area. With over 30 years' experience in event planning, After dedicates itself to professionalism, sensitivity and kindness.
After was borne from attending funerals and seeing a significant gap in the support offered when organising a wake or memorial. More often than not, bereaved family and friends were having to source appropriate venues, decorate hired spaces, make catering choices, organise the travel logistics, guess the number of guests, and all at a time when feeling overwhelmed themselves.
After's simple aim is to take that responsibility and deliver the most complete, professional wake and memorial planning service in Exeter and the surrounding areas.
After offers bespoke wake and memorial event planning services ranging from a straightforward event plan through to entire on-the-day co-ordination. After will guide and support you with organising any wake, memorial or living funeral or with planning your own. Every detail is managed thoughtfully and sensitively ensuring an event that is seamless, personal, and exceptional from start to finish.
We can be involved as little or as much as needed, with three options available starting from £200.
Full event plan sourcing handpicked venues and providers, budgeting recommendations and guidance for managing your event schedule to ensure everything runs flawlessly.
Full event plan with the additional benefits of liaising with suppliers, booking venues & providers, and logistical guidance as required ensuring a celebration that is unforgettable for all.
Full event plan, liaising with suppliers & providers, logistical guidance plus expert on-the-day management from event co-ordinator to ensure your event runs beautifully and seamlessly.*
