About Us

Who are we...

We are husband and wife team and have been married for more than 14 years. Yes, we work together, live together, and have not killed each other… yet! Our award-winning business The Memory Knot Company was born following our own wedding experiences in 2007The planning was a mixture of excitement and stress... mostly stress! Organising all the different suppliers and coordinating was a real hassle. No one should have to feel so pressured while trying to create their special day or event. 

Our wedding journey started when Andrew popped the question on a tourist pirate ship off the coast of Tunisia, when everyone had jumped overboard to go diving… less witnesses. “I got down on one knee and Jaimie thought I was about to throw her overboard… Once she stopped screaming and grasped the situation, she finally said yes!
