We hired Emily and Fran for our wedding styling this weekend and were truly blown away by the beautiful job they did. From the moment we hired them, they were so easy to work with and extremely accommodating. The flowers, candles and fabrics used on the day were everything I’d hoped for and more! Thank you so much for everything!! X

We love nature and wanted a colourful, meadow-like vibe for our relaxed spring wedding. We also wanted stylists who could make the most of our lovely but relatively small venue. Finally, we wanted to be confident that our wedding day would look beautiful without having to stress about it or do anything ourselves. Sass absolutely nailed it on all three points. Working with them was a dream from start to finish. They were very flexible and creative, had a lot of options, and were easy to communicate and plan with. They created very effective moodboards so we could see that they fully understood what we were asking for. Their quote was detailed and fully broken down so we could see what every element cost. If we had wanted to do any of it ourselves, we could've easily adjusted the plan thanks to their honest and transparent approach. (However, we were so pleased with their vision that we just stepped back and let them do their thing.) We also got to visit their showroom and see multiple different styling options. They changed things before our eyes to suit our preferences, had example flowers and signage, mock table layouts, the whole shebang. They also met with us at the venue to plan things, and liaised with staff at the venue to make sure everything ran smoothly. We felt comfortable and confident throughout the whole process thanks to their careful approach. As for the big day itself - everything was absolutely perfect. Walking into the venue was like walking into a dream. The flowers were stunning, the decor was gorgeous. Everything was exactly as we wanted, better than we imagined. We received countless compliments from our guests. One guest, who is a professional event planner, was stunned to hear what we had spent on the flowers and styling, as she expected the cost to be higher. Our bridesmaids kept their bouquets while we took the rest of the flowers home - and despite driving over an hour in a very hot car, they lasted beautifully and adorned our home for a week afterwards, which was a lovely treat. Thank you Emily and Fran for making our day look like a fairytale!

Breathtakingly Beautiful… Emily & Fran did all of our styling & floristry. The flowers were truly out of this world beautiful. The colours were just beautiful. Emily & Fran spent so much time & effort creating everything for our wedding day at Thorpe Gardens. I remember walking down the aisle and thinking wow … I can’t actually believe how amazing this all is. So thank you to you both for creating everything to be personal to us and what we wanted for the day. Thank you, Ashleigh & Sam xxx

Emily & Fran! Thank you so so much for everything you did for us for our wedding in July. You some how magically turned the jumble in my head, to everything and more than we could have ever imagined for styling our wedding day. Thank you for being patient, and so so kind, and for never saying no, even when I may have had some cheeky later additions! And for taking all the “decor stress” away! Without your help out wedding wouldn’t have been the same, and we’ll forever be grateful. For anyone thinking of using SASS, do it! You won’t regret it! Would recommend to all my family and friends. Thank you again, Steph and Alex xx

Kim has been my hairdresser for more years than I can remember. I followed her to Shine when she started her own business many years ago. She does a fabulous job of making my hair not only look great, but feel great too, doing my cut and colour every time. Kim also did all the hair for my daughter's wedding party, including my first updo. Such an amazing talent! I wouldn't go anywhere else, an incredibly warm and friendly salon.

Unusually for a female I'm not good at pampering myself..this has changed my mindset completely..thank you so much I feel great Xx

Rating: 5 / 5

Well what can I say. This girl has magic hands. Every time I walk into Shine I’m a mess (nearly 20 years). No confidence, not feeling good about my self and I always walk out feeling on top of the world. Kate always makes me feel special, no matter how busy she is. It is literally like a therapy session every time and when you walk out with hair like this you can see why my confidence sky rockets. Thank you so much. I honestly can’t recommend Shine and Kate highly enough for any colour or cut. She really knows her stuff. Still can’t believe this is my hair 💇‍♀️💚

From the moment I enquired about a sail cloth tent for my wedding I felt I was in safe hands. I received emails with ideas and photos of other weddings which I found so useful. Then there was the open days which really allowed you to get excited and inspired. The planning meetings answered questions I didn’t even know I had to be able to make our day run as smooth as possible! I had complete confidence that everything was covered come the day. The construction team visited the site prior to the wedding and then on the day, I was so impressed with how efficient the team were at assembling the tent. Such a fabulous team that worked so hard to get our venue up and ready so we could get in to decorate. Communication was excellent. We also opted for day management and I can’t tell you how glad I am! Beth was so fantastic! I genuinely didn’t have to think of a thing, she kept everything running so smoothly without any hassle. Beth organised everything on the day to perfection and even did things that I had forgotten needed to be put out etc.. I can not encourage anyone thinking about it enough, you will not regret it. She is absolutely brilliant!! Thanks Sami Tipi Team. You are all brilliant and would not hesitate in a second to recommend you to somebody! You made our wedding so special! I only wish I could do it again!!!

We found out about Sami Tipi after seeing a friend had used them for their wedding. When I got in contact with the team, from the very first email, everything has been amazing. Everything was dealt with so professionally and without hesitation. With only having 6 months to plan the wedding and after moving the venue at the beginning, everything has been a breeze for Beth and the team and they've all been amazing during every stage. Going to one of their open days just 2 months before our wedding was definitely worth it as it gave us a real insight into what our day would look like. Communication with Beth and then with Craig and the set up team was so easy and the team arrived and set up so quickly. We can’t thank them enough for how beautiful everything looked and for their constant professionalism and family feel throughout! I 100% recommend Sami Tipi for any event. The Astleys🤍

We used Sami Tipi for our September 2024 wedding (with Cattows Farm as our venue). The whole team were amazing from the start, with Jodie explaining all the amazing perks of a Tipi wedding, Beth helping up plan every little detail and Craig ensuring everything was set up just as we'd imagined it. A special shout out to Beth as she had an amazing knack of knowing exactly what we were trying to explain, even before we'd managed to find the words! Some people might think that a Tipi wedding might be more stressful as there's more things to coordinate but this couldn't be further from the truth. From day one, we felt fully supported and any queries we had were answered so quickly. All options were openly explained and all we had to do was chose what, when and where. We had so many compliments from friends and family, saying how wonderful everything looked. Even our family members who'd asked why we weren't going for a 'normal' wedding in a church or hotel said they finally understood our vision on the day. For anyone considering a Sami Tipi wedding, we would highly recommend going to one of the showcases throughout the year. They really helped visualize how everything would come together. Also, we chose most of our other suppliers from meeting them at the showcases, it was great to have suppliers that had all worked together before so knew the drill. Overall, we couldn't highly recommend the Sami Tipi team enough for our perfect day!

Firstly, what a team there is at Sami Tipi! You guys were absolutely incredible! This company cannot do enough to help you out in your preparations. We hired a 2 pole sailcloth tent for our home wedding in June and it was absolutely perfect. The service allowed us to create the perfect layout, hire various items and then you are free to decorate in the style you wish to complement your items. There was always someone to contact when you needed to make an alteration right up to the day you need it. Super efficient and it was a pleasure to meet you all! Big thanks goes to the team who erected the tent for your hard work and efforts, you guys are really doing an awesome job going back and forth to different locations and also a big thanks to Beth for being so warm and friendly and for continually being there for us through the process. Thank you for making our day unforgettable! For anyone wanting tipis or sailcloth tents this company is elite!

I contacted Simon and he came round to give me a quote on a leaking flat roof. The quote price was as expected. Due to the weather his team could not do the repair on my flat roof straight away, but as soon as the weather improved and he could fit my repair in he sent his team round. 3 of them came and i could not fault them. They were all polite and kept me informed. The job was completed in a day but a a small area was missed. As soon as i spoke to Simon the day after when he came to take payment he understood and sorted the missed area straight away with no issues and before i had to pay. His team came round within half an hour and fixed the missed area. Brilliant. All rubbish was cleared from my drive as promised and the flat roof looks so good now. I would definitely contact Simon again and would recommend them to others who need a roof repair. Thank you Simon and the team.

Simon was recommended by my sister and husband. I had a problem with the ridge tiles, he came along quoted me a price and a week later the ridge tiles were replaced by an excellent team, also solved a further issue for me. I would definitely use Ark Roofers again.

Simon and his team were great throughout. Replaced our roor which was was in sore need of attention. Really pleased with the results and they dealt with a few snags very quickly. Excellent tradesmen - would recommend.

I’m so glad I chose Ark Roofing. Simon came and gave me a price to replace ridge tiles, repoint the chimney, fix a new chimney cowl and replace the lead flashing The crew who came to do the job were brilliant and kept me informed. They left everywhere near and tidy. I’ll not hesitate to recommend them and have them back for any future jobs I might need doing. Thank you Simon and the team

Rose did mine and my bridal parties hair on the morning of my wedding (6 of us in total April 2023) I was also allowed to bring in my own make up team. From start to finish we were made to feel welcome and special, it was such a great morning and really made the start of what can be a nerve racking day feel so relaxed and comfortable. What an amazing salon and great team, thank you all ❤️

Dave was the best DJ we could’ve asked for! He went out of his way to make sure we had our Wedding reception the way we wanted it and kept the party going perfectly! Massively appreciate him taking videos of us all dancing as it was brilliant looking at them the next day to reflect on the night before! 100% recommend for any event not just a wedding!

Bliss Wedding DJ has been great. David has kept in contact with us throughout the process of putting together playlists, etc. and Andy worked his magic on the night keeping the energy going!

Rating: 5 / 5

Dave was great! He knew our wedding venue (the west mill) really well, which meant everything was organised really smoothly. The app used to plan our playlist was easy to use. Dave is so enthusiastic and genuinely loves his job which I think was one of the reasons our dance floor was full from start to finish!

Rating: 5 / 5

David at Bliss was brilliant from start to finish. We had the all day package and photo booth for our wedding. I was a little dubious about a photo booth, but it was absolutely brilliant and all of our guests loved it. The equipment and props were top notch and it added an extra special something to the evening. David himself is a character. He’s funny, friendly, confident and very organised. We felt in complete safe hands with him and nothing was too much trouble. He was in regular contact in the run up to our wedding and we felt everything would run smoothly with his involvement. David also took a lot of photos and videos which was brilliant, as we got lots back from him before having to wait for the final professional shots. I 100% recommend David and the team at Bliss - thank you so much!

I found Dan on Google after a few failed attempts at getting someone to come and redo the roof on my garage and replace my soffits and fascias. Dan was professional from the outset. He was prompt to come out and the quote he gave was extremely competitive. Although Dan was fully booked at the time, he kept in touch with me to let me know when he was available to come and do the work. Having had a number of companies either not turn up or quote extortionate prices, it was a relief to experience such a professional and reassuring approach. The work itself was completed in a timely fashion and to a high standard. This included the fitting of new PVC fascia, soffits, gutters, pipes and dry verge system on the house, plus new PVC fascias, gutters and installation of a Firestone rubber roof on the garage. All the old roofing and fascia waste was taken away and the area was left clean and tidy once the work had been completed. Dan and his dad were fantastic throughout the process and I could not recommend them highly enough!

Dan went above and beyond, His work is perfect we are so pleased, he even did a part we forgot about, I would definitely recommend, if you are wanting his service he is so friendly and polite we had our fascias and soffits plus guttering done professional job

Dan recently repaired my roof as it was leaking. He was very busy but managed to fit me in. Very good communication and explained exactly needed doing. Very reasonably priced and did an excellent job. I have recommended him to friends and family

2023: Dan has repointed our house, refelted the flat roof and done all the dry verges...and the work is excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend. Dan is professional, polite and his work is excellent. 5 stars! December 2024 update: Dan has fixed my leaking roof.... professional, exceptional customer service and would highly recommend. Thank you Dan!

From our very first meeting we knew that Tor was the person to plan our wedding with us. She had the best personality, was easy to get on with and she was obviously very knowledgeable in her field which filled us both with confidence. Myself and Dave are very busy people, and got especially busy as we were planning our wedding. Tor was there day and night, no matter what time I messaged her with a query or idea she was on the ball so fast. Tor also recommended the best suppliers. One of them being Gemma from Rock and Wreath, our flowers were absolutely unreal and I felt confident giving Gemma complete freedom and creative license with her designs. I had an idea of maybe having a live sketch artist but after searching and searching I couldn’t find the right person. Tor absolutely pulled it out the bag and found the amazing little Beth Illustrations. We would have never had such special wedding favors if it wasn’t for Tor finding Beth. Tor also found the beautiful Bethan Steers for my hair, and the amazing Beth Kennet for our wedding videography! These two women were an absolute joy of energy to have around on the day, but every single person involved was. So I’m so grateful to Tor for finding all of these wonderful suppliers because they were truly out of this world, every single one of them. On the day of the wedding Tor was never not by my side, anything I needed she was there 100 percent and really had my back no matter how big or small, from making sure I had coffee when I was tired, to emergency steaming my wedding dress. Thank you so much for everything you did to make sure our day was as special as it was. It wouldn’t have been the day it was without you. Love Paula and Dave xxx

We hired Tor to help with our wedding in July and really cannot thank or recommend her enough. Our wedding was held at our family farm, and whilst this seemed like a great idea, we also had so many possibilities of things going wrong on the day. As soon as we had Tor’s input into the wedding, she gave us every bit of confidence that the day would run as beautifully as it did. From the week leading up to the wedding, all of our suppliers couldn’t believe how relaxed I was and this was definitely thanks to Tor. Tor was there at all hours to answer any questions, help me make decisions, and make suggestions that I definitely wouldn’t have thought of (without being annoying ha!). On the day of the wedding I was able to have such a lovely morning with the bridal party, and throughout the day knew everything was being taken care of which resulted in being able to actually enjoy our wedding day without any stress (which a lot of couples don’t get to do). Tor is such a lovely person and so easy to get on with, even if it wasn’t wedding chat we would still have a laugh.. we had so many comments from guests about how incredible our wedding was, how smooth the day went, and how fab Tor was behind the scenes. We have said from the start, hiring Tor was the best decision we made…we are also convinced she could plan a wedding on Mount Everest and it run smoothly. Tor we thank you so much for all your hard work, time and just being fab! You are welcome at the farm any time :) xxx

We hired Victoria for on the day coordination for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made during the whole planning process. She's detail oriented, passionate, and amazing to work with. No task is too big or small for Victoria, and the entire wedding ran so smoothly thanks to her help! As a bride, I was truly able to unplug and focus on having the time of my life on the day, knowing she had it all handled. We can't recommend her enough!

We hired Victoria for the wedding day management for our wedding, and I can't say enough positive words. Even from the start during our intro call, to coordinating with vendors, to the final day wedding celebration, she exceeded our expectations. I was hesitant to hire someone for the day of coordination because I am a planner myself, but Victoria checked every box and she allowed me to unplug and really enjoy the day with my family and friends. Highly recommend her because of her organization skills, professionalism, and how pleasant she was to work with!

Absolutely love this place . Very professional ,friendly . Relaxing and does the best facial , massage ,nails etc I’ve ever had . 100% recommend Rebecca’s,I go at least twice a month for different treatments. Come out feeling refreshed and relaxed

Rating: 5 / 5

After my latest visit to the salon today I can honestly say the whole experience was perfect (as it always is). From my first visit (way back when) I have always received high quality treatments in relaxing surroundings from the lovely Rebecca. I consider her prices to be fair (for all services) and well worth paying, if only for the positive difference you feel from entering to leaving. I can confidently and highly recommended a visit and always feel happy to have an appointment booked or to recieve a gift voucher, which I also love to buy to give to my nearest and dearest so they can have a pamper treat.

Becky is so caring and makes you feel amazing. I always buy my family and friends gift vouchers to share the same expertise and experience I have for my treatments. Becky is very accommodating and organised when booking appointments. The salon very clean and beautiful, it’s definitely my happy place.

Thankyou Tina for another great haircut, really pleased x

Tina has cut my hair for over two years now and is brilliant every time! I have naturally wavy hair and always does a great job. It’s hard to find reasonably priced hairdressers who do an amazing job and Tina is definitely one of them! Definitely would recommend to students in the area as she can do styles for all ages. The salon is private, modern and spacious, a lovely place to get your hair done!
