We had an amazing experience working with Bhav and the rest of the Bandhan events team for our wedding decor. The planning calls with Bhav were always friendly, well organised and thorough which really put us at ease during the hectic periods of wedding planning. He even recommended other suppliers , showcasing his experience and strong relationships within the industry. The decor looked incredible on the day with the wide range of choice and colour schemes helping to make our venue even more stunning.

Excellent all round. Came to have my wedding nails done.First time coming to the salon and it was so relaxed and the atmosphere is lovely; you don’t feel like you have to engage in ‘chitchat’ if you don’t want to. Nelly did an excellent job; she is very attentive to detail and I got exactly what I asked for. Well worth the money I spent. Will definitely be back in the future!

I have been coming to The Strand ever since I moved back to the area 9 years ago. I have really flat, oily hair and so wanted a perm to give me curls and body so I initially saw the owner Rachel (who does perms there). Right from the consultation appointment I knew that I was in the best hands I wouldn’t ever go anywhere else. Rachel and her team are friendly, extremely knowledgeable and always take the time to make me and now my little girl feel really special and looked after. I also now regularly see Nelly based there for my nails who is also excellent and the best nail technician I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t ever trust anyone else now, it’s a home from home and would highly recommend them (as I have done many times). Thank you ladies for continuing to provide such an amazing experience.

Absolutely recommend! Katie always does a great job of my colour and cut. Wish I could clone her for home. Salon is clean, shampoos smell divine and everyone is friendly.

Katie has been cutting, colouring and styling my hair for over 20 years. I would highly recommend Katie for her knowledge, advice, skill and friendliness. I have hair extensions with Katie and I get lots of compliments on them - you wouldn’t know the hair isn’t my own! I look forward to my appointment each time- we have a natter, whilst I sit in the welcoming salon with a cuppa, and I leave with hair that makes me smile.

The Salon at No 10, Mickleover (not to be confused with one of a similar name) is the best hairdressers, the staff are lovely, they take time to listen and talk with all their clients and go above and beyond with some. Not only that but they are fantastic hairdressers too Would recommend to anyone

It's the first time having my hair cut here since Feb last year (due to growing my hair) and I felt so safe in this hairdressers! You have to wear a mask (Masks available on arrival if you forgot yours), hand gel ready and Clear Protective Screens are up as well between you and the other customers. I actually booked my appointment for today because I know from Monday a lot of places are not wearing masks etc but this Hairdressers announced the other day that they are keeping Masks in place for Staff and Customers which is just amazing in my opinion. When booking the appointment I got asked if there was a certain Hairdresser I wanted/needed to cut/style my hair but as this was only the second time I didn't know any of the Staff Members names! Today I had Ann cutting my hair and she was extremely lovely, the other Staff also spoke to me which was really nice too. Growing up I always at a hairdresser come to our house but after they quit their job me and my Mum started coming here, my Mum has Highlights etc done here and I just had a Dry Cut this time around, it is such a nice experience and compared to how my previous hairdresser did my hair I just couldn't believe the difference. Ann took time to get all the split ends off as well (I used to have Layers) so my split ends were a bit all over the place originally, just so much care was taken I just thought it was a great experience! Very clean, lovely staff, feeling great afterwards, what more could I want?!

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

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 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

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.

I recently had a delightful Swedish massage at Blend Beauty with the skilled therapist, Ella. From the moment I entered, the ambiance was serene and welcoming. Ella's expertise was evident as she customized the massage to my preferences, using just the right pressure to release tension and promote relaxation. The massage itself was incredibly soothing, with long, flowing strokes that melted away stress. Ella was attentive and intuitive, ensuring I was comfortable throughout the session. By the end, I felt rejuvenated and refreshed. I highly recommend Ella at Blend Beauty for a calming and effective Swedish massage. The overall experience was fantastic, and I left feeling like I was walking on air. I'll definitely be returning for another session soon!

My daughter started here after struggling with maths and it was the best decision we have ever made! The support that Katie has given has seen her confidence grow and given her a much deeper understanding of maths where she actually enjoys it now which I never thought would be possible! The flexibility that Chellaston tutoring offers is also something that will become invaluable as she transitions into senior school and may need extra support in other subjects, I couldn’t recommend them enough.

Rating: 5 / 5

We have found Ryan at Chellaston Tutoring to be fantastic, our son has come on leaps and bounds with his English, the tutoring is tailored to the child’s individual needs, Ryan explains everything in a simple & easy to understand way, so much so that after our son’s first lesson he said that he wished all teachers were like that ! I would highly recommend them. Anna King.

Chellaston Tutoring have been amazing. I wouldn't send my son anywhere else. The communication from my first time i contacted them has been really good but the main thing is the improvement my son has made over the last 7 weeks with his reading. He really likes the staff and we think they are friendly and really good with the children. They make the sessions fun and my son really enjoys going. Thank you so much Chellaston Tutoring keep doing an amazing job with these children and their education. Highly recommended to any parent. They have parking right next to the building and its a safe building for the children to attend.

Both my children have been attending Chellaston tutoring for some time now. Chellaston tutoring have really helped them both immensly in Maths and English and given them so much more confidence. Katie and Jordan are fabulous teachers who plan out their lessons carefully to tailor to each childs needs. The kids both get on really well with the teachers and they do make the lessons fun too. The teachers provide valuable feedback at the end of each lesson. I am so glad we found them!

I've been a regular at my local gaming and hobby shop, and I can't recommend it highly enough! The staff here are incredibly friendly and engaging, making every visit a pleasure. They carry an impressive range of stock for various hobbies, and if you're looking for something specific, they're always happy to order it in for you.

I love these guys. Incredible shop, incredible people, and the prices are so good!! What they're building is really nice, and you can tell they geniunely love the hobby and want to build a community. I had to move away from the area sadly:( but I wish I could move this shop with me! If you want to get into miniature painting, this place is a great place to start, they're so welcoming and will help you through getting started. They don't just sell warhammer either- they had a wide seletion of D&D inspired miniatures, Fallout, and some other bits.
