After having a really bad experience at another hair dressers which left me dreading having my hair done else where. I went to Hayley who listened to what had happened to me. We talked through what she was going to do which settled my nerves and she gave me the most beautiful cut and colour I have ever had. 10 years on I still go to Hayley every 6 weeks as I will not let anyone else touch my hair. Fabulous person with excellent skills.

I booked a curling master class with Hayley. I have been struggling for years to curl my own hair so I decided to attend the class. The atmosphere was so lovely and Hayley was so professional explaining and showing us all the different ways to curl. We then got to practice on our own hair and for the first time I managed to do it. I would definitely recommend 100% the curling Masterclass to all that struggle with curling their own hair. Hayley is very professional and helpful the best Hairdresser by far xx

Hayley is great always a warm and friendly welcome. She has done a fabulous job with my hair. She has olaplex at the salon which is one of the most amazing things you can use on your hair! I recommend her 100%

I was lucky enough to be a model for trial of a new product a few weeks back. Due to the lovely salon and people there I decided to return instead of reaching for the box dye. Hayley, coloured, washed, cut and styled my hair exactly how I wanted. Although Hayley was busy with other clients at the same time her time management was perfect. No complaints here. Friendly, professional service. Thankyou

Review From the moment we got the call to say we had won round one of the wedding competition to the moment we woke up as husband and wife, Maria and Bespoke have been incredible. There is so much press on how stressful planning a wedding is but for us it has been the opposite, in fact it was rather a magical experience and we only had just over 4 months to get it all done! Maria was there on the day and made sure we had everything we needed and throughout the day she made sure we were happy, she was amazing and it was a blessing to have her as part of our day. Thank you to Bespoke for everything they do for couples getting married, your company is outstanding. The biggest thank you goes to Maria for her professional and passionate approach to planning our big day. She started as our planner but now she’s more like family.

I was absolutely floored when I got the call that we had won the first part of the contest! Honestly, it's made having a wedding much more feasible for myself and my partner. Even better than that has been Holly as our wedding planner - she's gone above and beyond to help us plan the day, and answer any questions we have (and we definitely have a lot!). She's so kind and patient, and you can tell she is genuinely happy for all of the couples she works with.

A special thank-you to Nicky, couldn’t believe it when she called to say we had won the competition. We are at the early stages of planning our wedding but already feel well supported knowing Nicky is on the other end of the phone. Has been a massive help already to us. Our wedding is a while away but she has already made it feel so nice and easy for us so far. In answering our queries. No matter the time of day either. We are really excited and look forward to working with her!

We are thrilled with the outstanding service provided by Gail as our Bespoke Wedding planner! From the very beginning, she has been incredibly helpful, showing us three different venue options. Gail is professional, friendly, and always approachable, making the entire planning process feel stress-free and enjoyable. Her advice has been invaluable, and it’s clear she truly cares about helping us to create a special day. We’re so happy with everything so far and are excited to continue working with her as we plan our dream wedding day. Highly recommend!

Chloe definitely made our wedding so special. Everybody was shocked that we had somebody singing for our wedding ceremony and everybody said how beautiful Chloe sang. I’m so thankful Chloe could be at our special day. Chloe wasn’t just a beautiful singer she is a beautiful person inside and out. Anytime I was worried about anything Chloe messaged to offer help, when I was poorly Chloe even sent a lovely message. She really is a wonderful person. Thank you so much Chloe and I really hope we see you again xx

Chloe is absolutely amazing and has the voice of an angel. All our guests loved her and still speak highly of her now. She felt like a friend but at the same time so professional. She engaged with everybody and was so natural. Thank you so much Chloe for such a beautiful and amazing day. A beautiful memory to keep for the rest of our lives.

Oh Chloe where do I even start!? Being a wedding photographer myself, I had already had the privilege of witnessing Chloe sing at a wedding & knew how talented she was! When I then saw her advertise a competition to win her singing at your wedding, I entered and was lucky enough to win! On our wedding day, Chloe sang outside during the drinks reception, and then inside during our wedding breakfast! Her voice is so beautiful, and provides the perfect atmosphere on the day! Not only that, Chloe then surprised me with a performance alongside one of my bridesmaids that they had secretly organised... safe to say I sobbed!! After the wedding, Chloe sent me lots of behind the scenes photos and videos that she had taken, going above and beyond what could ever be expected of a wedding singer! Thankyou Chloe, for making our day so special! Mr & Mrs Sloan xx

Chloe made our special day very memorable, nothing was ever too much to ask. I had a song which was memorable to my Grandpa which wasn’t on her song list but Chloe was happy to practise and sung the song so beautifully whilst signing our certificate. Chloe was very helpful with giving me tips a couple of days before the wedding making sure the songs she sung for us lasted a good length of time. Thank you so much Chloe for being part of our special day, Chloe has an amazing voice and I highly recommend her to be your wedding singer.

I’ve been going to embellish for a couple of years and love the place. The staff are so friendly. My stylist Sarah is the best stylist I’ve ever had. She is attentive and caring. She listens to how you want and like your hair. She offers good advice about your hair. She is absolutely brilliant. I always love my hair and get exactly what we have discussed and decided on. What a very talented hairdresser she is. I would recommend her to everyone. I’ve sent friends to her and they all feel just like I do. The salon has been newly refurbished and looks absolutely beautiful. All the staff are friendly and attentive. I am offered a drink several times during my visit and Sarah always tells the person making it how I like it so I get a perfect cup of coffee. These little things are important. I always get a wonderful head massage off Sarah as part of my hair wash because she knows how much I love it. If I only want a very slight trim then that is what I get. No taking up to an inch off like other stylists have in the past. Sarah always listens to what is important to me and wants very much to make sure I’m happy with what she has done. Her customers are important to her and she wants them to leave the salon feeling amazing. She takes pride in what she does and always gives her very best to make sure her clients are happy. I highly recommend embellish and definitely recommend Sarah to everyone. A very talented knowledgeable and experienced stylist indeed. I have put some photos on of how beautiful Sarah has made my hair look over the years with different cuts and colours.

Amie is amazing and has worked wonders on my skin! I have suffered with acne for over 15 years and no medication, cream wash or other has done anything for my skin. Life was a daily struggle and I lacked confidence and hated going anywhere without makeup. Amie has done around 6 perfecting peels with me over the last months which has revealed fresh healthy skin and make me feel amazing. I am now more confident and feel confident enough to wear little or no makeup and not be ashamed of how I look. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Rating: 5 / 5

I cannot recommend Amie enough, being a little nervous as it was my first experience and not quite sure what exactly I needed, Amie made me feel at easy, she is very proffesional and has a very welcoming manner. After my initial consultation I felt confident enough to book in for my procedure which I am very happy with the results.

I was fed up of my brows barely being there so decided to have them tattooed by Amie who my daughter recommended. Amie was very professional and made me feel very comfortable. I absolutely love my eyebrows now which has made a huge difference to my appearance. I really can’t recommend Amie highly enough.

Rating: 5 / 5

I really can’t recommend Amie highly enough. She is professional, passionate and definitely a perfectionist. So far I have had a lip liner and blush and upper and lower eye liner. I’ve also had Botox and Amie always pays such attention to what I want as I prefer subtle changes. It really has made such a difference to how I feel about myself, especially when I wake up in the morning! Can’t wait to have my eyebrows done next. Thanks so much Aime x

Chris has been invaluable to us while setting up a new business, from designing and creating business cards and flyers, assisting with promoting social media and setting up our website, to being a constant source of information and a friendly ear when confidence was low, we will be forever grateful. The website is fabulous, flyers are clear and well thought out and the business cards are spot on. Thank you!

Wow! Chris is an absolute star. Professional, thoughtful and pays real attention to detail. I’ve been a part of one of his events which was so well delivered and planned and he has done some digital marketing for me which was second to non. I would highly recommend Chris- thank you for being amazing!

Wow, what can I say. Fantastic experience from start to end. Chris has been marketing my business for me, and it's been an amazing success story. I recently got married and asked Chris to plan the decorations for me. Chris went above and beyond for us. Our venue looked absolutely stunning. We loved our balloons. We even took some of them home with us. Thanks a lot, Chris. This man is the best.

As a wedding videographer, I wish every wedding I captured had a Victoria! Having someone like Victoria to go to with questions and check ins made the day run so much smoother than I’m used to! Victoria is the kind of person that is so on it as well and thinks of every little detail but is so creative and flexible in how she works to help and assist with whatever you need throughout the day. Not just for the couple but for the suppliers too! I would urge people to hire her and highly recommend Victoria as the lovely person she is and for the great services she offers!

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 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

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 recently had the pleasure of working with Claire for our wedding at Eyam Hall, and we couldn't be more grateful for her exceptional service. From the outset, her organisational skills were evident, ensuring every detail was meticulously planned and executed. Her communication was outstanding, keeping us informed every step of the way and always being available to answer any questions we had. Even providing extra creative flare to our initial plans. One of the highlights was the stunning floral hoop that Village Green Events created. It was beyond beautiful and added an enchanting touch to our venue. There creativity and attention to detail truly shone through in this breathtaking piece. As a bride and groom, we felt completely at ease knowing that Claire had everything under control. We didn’t have to lift a finger and were able to fully enjoy our special day, thanks to her impeccable coordination. We wholeheartedly recommend The Village Green events to anyone looking for a wedding coordinator who is organised, communicative, and exceptionally talented. Thank you for making our day perfect!

My husband and I got married in August at Wildhive in Derbyshire. Village Green Events helped style the wedding and Laura, who was our contact, was amazing to work with! She leaves no stone unturned when it comes to her attention to detail and execution. Everything was so well thought out and her ability to foresee things you will need or might want is truly amazing. I went over my ideas with her and inspiration for what I was looking for and she ran with it and did an absolutely amazing job. Her communication is great too and she is quick to respond. Don’t hesitate to book The Village Green Events, they will make your event dreams come true!

Claire and Laura are literally the best team ever. Helped me through so many aspects of the planning from napkins to disco balls they were able to deliver every thing I could dream of and more. Their experience and skill for wedding styling helped me feel so reassured and relaxed as I could sit back and enjoy watching them make my our day come to life. So greatful for their support on the day and would recommend to anyone Izzy and Tom Combermere Abbey 13-7-24

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Claire for our wedding, and she was a joy to collaborate with from start to finish! The room styling was incredible and matched our energy perfectly. We knew we wanted pops of colour but were pretty relaxed about the rest—Claire took that vision and made it come to life effortlessly. She not only helped us bring everything together beautifully but also made the process completely stress-free, coordinating seamlessly with our other suppliers. Thanks to her, our wedding looked amazing. We can’t thank Claire enough for all her help in making our wedding a "wow" one!
