A battered old porch needed some major TLC. Dan and Ben not only made it look brand new but painted it beautifully too. No worries about dodgy builders with these guys! They were hardworking and great fun. No mess at all. Costs were very fair for a terrific service. Would approach them for any further jobs in the future. Many thanks.

Had a new kitchen fitted and plastering done to walls. Service from Level Best was first class from beginning to end. Every aspect of work carried out to perfection, plumber and electrician visits co-ordinated effectively, achieving smooth running and the place was tidied up as much as possible each day. Also, Dan's expertise on what accessories to buy was invaluable. Price was very fair.

Exceptional Service and Stunning Photography by Derbyshire Wedding Events I have the pleasure of having known Carlo from Derbyshire Wedding Events for many years now, and his professionalism and creative vision are exceptional. Carlo’s relaxed yet attentive approach makes people comfortable, allowing for natural, candid moments to be beautifully captured, you only have to look at his wedding photos to see how he captured the essence of each special day. His years of experience in the wedding industry truly shine through, with every detail carefully considered and executed. Carlo is not only creative and talented, but also incredibly courteous, patient, and approachable qualities that make the whole experience with him a joy. You will find that he always goes above and beyond to accommodate your needs, offering a range of services from traditional wedding and engagement photos to creative drone shots and custom portraits. His pricing is very reasonable, especially for the quality and variety of options available. For anyone seeking a photographer/videographer with a natural eye, a sincere approach, and a relaxed style, Derbyshire Wedding Events is an outstanding choice. We are certain that you will be happy with the results, and we highly recommend Carlo to anyone looking to capture life’s special moments with care and creativity. One thing that really shines through is that he is a perfectionist with a real love for his profession, read his other reviews to see for yourselves what his clients have to say. Common comments include words and phrase like “Incredible Experience”, “Carlo was nothing short of fantastic!”, “Carlo's professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were outstanding” and he “truly went above and beyond to capture every special moment”, including those beautiful candid shots that felt natural and spontaneous.” So, if you want to be thrilled with the results, superb photos, and stunning videos are stunning, then trust Carlo to capture your memories. Carlo’s dedication to his craft and genuine care for his clients makes all the difference. Being a professional photographer and having worked side by side with Carlo on the odd occasion, and conducting some creative work with him, I can honestly say we couldn’t recommend Carlo more highly! I have posted a few of the more recent creative works with this review, they are Carlo’s photos and my tweaks just to show a few samples of what can be done to make things a little more interesting.

We had Carlo and his wife do our wedding day, we had photos and video of the whole day. They got every little detail and I’m so happy I picked this package with them. I can’t thank them both enough we have such amazing photos and watching the video is like reliving the day again! The lead up to the wedding Carlo was always at hand whenever I needed to ask something he was there and helped guide us throughout it all. We also had the pre wedding photoshoot which was also amazing and we even used one of the photos for our newspapers for the big day! I can’t recommend them enough not even just the photos but as people you really are lovely and so down to earth.. and this is exactly what you need and want in someone for your big day. We had so many guests complimenting the “photographers” saying how lovely they was and how much fun they was having. Whenever I need photos again I know exactly where we’ll be coming :) Thank you again for everything Vicky & Jack xxxx

We booked Carlo for our wedding in August 2022. We had previously been let down by two other photographers who turned out to be sub contracting our wedding day and acting as a middle man...something we did not sign up to. The main thing that appealed to us with Carlo was his ability to offer more than one service. He was our photographer and videographer and DJ.....he also offered drone footage which we liked the thought of. Carlo works very hard and tries to please everyone. I would have preferred more time with him prior to our wedding day but I appreciate he's very busy. We're happy with the service provided for the cost we paid. At time of writing this we have saw some teaser photos which we're happy with. We hope to receive all our photos and videos in a week or so. I would recommend Carlo to others.

We booked Derbyshire Wedding Events for our wedding in September. We had Carlo as our photographer for the day. He is such a down to earth person and interacted very well we the bridal party as we were getting ready and also the groom and the guests. We had lots of fun with him taking random photos that you wouldn't even think of! We were laughing all day with him. We really couldn't have asked for a better photographer, we've had the photos back already after only 6 weeks, they are beautiful we are very impressed. His communication throughout put us at ease too, lots of my guests commented on how good he was and I must say very good value for money too. Will highly recommend! Thankyou Carlo for capturing our special day x

Amanda was truly the MVP of our wedding! From the moment we started working with her, she brought a level of organisation, efficiency, and creativity that made everything run smoothly. Her friendly and approachable communication style kept us all on track in the planning stages, and her attention to detail ensured that every part of our day was exactly as we envisioned. Having access to her beautiful styling collection was a game-changer for the overall look, and she went above and beyond to bring it all together. Thanks to Amanda, we were able to enjoy every minute of the day itself without a single worry. Involving her was the best decision we made and I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Where do I even start with this incredible human?! Amanda is the kindest, most creative and inspirational wedding planner, stylist and coordinator. We were lucky enough to have Amanda involved in every aspect of our wedding and we are so thankful for her guidance and support. From our first initial emails, consultation meeting, final meetings and numerous messages (from me!), Amanda was nothing but helpful and supportive. On the day, it was a joy to have Amanda join my bridal prep in the morning, brining a sense of calm, style and humour. She ensured everything was on track and ensured that I was happy and prepared for when we moved to the venue. During the day, we had countless compliments about Amanda's efficiency and how friendly she was. Everything ran like clockwork, with no issues, and I am certain this was due to Superwoman Amanda. She also helped us to achieve the perfect champagne spray photo! The styling... Words fail me. Amanda took our ideas and colours and made it so much more. During our final design meeting, Amanda made detailed notes and offered suggestions for how to syle our venue. We were so confident in her abilities, we encouraged Amanda to do what she does best, and she did! Amanda created the classiest, cosiest, most elegant autumn vibes you could ever imagine. Our photographer, who had worked at the venue numerous other times, said it was the most beautiful she had ever seen it. I truly cannot recommend Amanda enough. She has a heart of gold and I feel so privaledge to have worked with such a creative and inspiring person. I am so grateful for all they she did to create the most magical day for us and I am even more thankful that I know have a wonderful friend as a result. (photos are Kirsty Mackenzie)

Where to begin! Amanda really is one in a million. She helped plan our wedding and I don’t know what we would have done without her. Not only is she incredibly good at what she does and thinks of everything she is also a wonderful person. She’s calm, intuitive, supportive and thoughtful all whilst being amazingly efficient. From zoom calls to site visits to being on site days before the wedding, she goes above and beyond to make sure everything looks and runs as best as it can. Having Amanda was one of the best decisions we made - we couldn’t recommend her more and are so grateful for everything she did and helped us with.

We hired Amanda for our Wedding in May 2024 as a wedding coordinator, and by far was probably the best decision we made during our planning. I honestly don’t know how our wedding would have taken place on the day without Amanda. Amanda set up all our props for our Wedding the day before / morning of, and then coordinated our day. Amanda really went above and beyond throughout the day, keeping the day on track and making sure it aligned to mine and my husband wishes. Her attention to detail was outstanding, and she really brought our vision to life. We honestly cannot say thank you enough and would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone getting married. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!

I've worked with Trace for many years and would use her again and again. Everything runs so smoothly, she is so professional and also so funny which makes the experience so nice.

My 11 year old daughter and I went for a manicure and pedicure today. We found the salon to be very welcoming in a really spacious and relaxing environment. The overall atmosphere is extremely pleasant. The treatments were spot on and extremely competitively priced compared to other local salons. We will definitely be back girls and would wholeheartedly recommend this salon; you won't be disappointed.

Megan and the team were fantastic! Tipis in the peak were fantastic, Megan and her family were so lovely and they’re really affordable compared to other companies. Our tipi on the day was beautiful and we had so much more space than we realised! Communication was sometimes slow due to personal circumstances but everything was perfect on the day and we cannot thank them enough! We unfortunately don’t have all of our professional photos back yet and our photos don’t do it justice!

We can't thank Megan, Jack, and the team enough for their endless dedication, creativity, and warmth. If you're considering Tipis in the Peak for your event, look no further! Every detail reflected how much work and heart they put into the setup. The tipis were not only stunning but also provided a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly matched our style and personality. You’ll be in the hands of passionate professionals who truly care about making your day unforgettable. Our guests are still raving about the incredible ambience and unique experience! Highly recommend!

What a fantastic experience! Thank you SO much to Megan and Jack for everything, including all of the back and forth communication for over a year before our wedding, going above and beyond to make everything more than perfect! It was incredible to see the transformation from an empty field to a wedding venue and we can't recommend Tipis in the Peak enough for making our special day perfect!

We had tipi in the peaks for our wedding and everything was perfect from start to finish. They provided excellent communication with a wide range of props and add ons and a great build team. Our location was a little challenging, but it was no issue at all. They came for a site visit before we booked to make sure everything would work Even when the terrible weather meant they couldn't go ahead with their showcase day, they put one up in their yard so we could see the space. The tipis are beautiful and a great venue for a wedding. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

I asked James if he would do a few mixed maintenance jobs on our house. He responded promptly and he and his son Tom carried out the work in a tidy and professional manner. Many thanks.
