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!

David, Angela and Robert have been amazing from start to finish! A brilliant app to plan your wedding music and the team kept in contact throughout the whole planning process! Robert was our DJ for the night and although our wedding party wasn't huge, everyone had a great time and danced the night away! Great selection of music that catered for everyone. A huge bonus when Robert also sent over some beautiful photos and videos of the night which is so lovely as we were so busy enjoying ourselves we didn't take any of our own photos! Thanks guys, you were ace!!

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!

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.

Bhavesh where do I start….a massive thankyou to you and your team at Bandhan Events. From our initial chat and our first venue to our rearranged date and new venue you pulled out all the stops for us and we can’t thank you enough. You have been amazing throughout and by far the easiest supplier to work with. The setup and turn around was seamless and we loved both the daytime and the reception decor. Thankyou for going above and beyond for us and for all your help with finding other suppliers. We will definitely be recommending you to others 💫 Best Wishes Misha & Krishan

5* ++++ We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Bhavesh, Ram and the rest of the Bandhan Events team for our wedding. From the very beginning, Bhavesh was friendly, attentive, and always open to our ideas, helping us to feel at ease throughout the planning process. His expertise in decor and his attention to detail truly shone through, and he offered great suggestions to help elevate our vision. On the day, the Mandap setup was simply stunning and exceeded all of our expectations. The team really brought our dream wedding to life. The reception decor was something out of a fairy tale. We received endless compliments from our guests, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you so much, Bhavesh and team, for making our day so memorable! Highly recommend Bandhan Events.

Samantha is an incredibly talented wedding venue decorator! We cannot recommend her enough! We loved that we could go for an eco-friendly way to decorate our venue, there is no way we would be able to comfortably fit 60 glass vintage vases and 100 candlesticks in our own home!! I really love her sustainable approach to styling weddings. Samantha tailored our venue style to suit us and worked with us to bring our vision of our wedding to life. Our venue was transformed into a rustic vintage woodland, with lots of gorgeous fabrics, beautiful golden candlesticks (all child safe LED lights) and beautiful glass pieces. On the day of the wedding, she worked so quickly putting everything together. Having her as our stylist took so much stress out of our big day, she managed all the decoration, styling, set up and packing up next the day. It really makes such a big difference! As we had to pack up our own stuff (in such a tiny car!), manage other wedding tasks, and get ourselves down to the venue. Samantha did an amazing job, and everything looked so beautiful and elegant. Thank you so much for creating such a gorgeous wedding for us!

My husband and I were so pleased with how Sam styled the venue for our wedding ceremony and evening reception. From the day I contacted her to discuss about ideas that I had prior to the wedding, she was so helpful, patient and professional. Whenever I had any questions, she was friendly, approachable and responding to me very quickly. We'd highly recommend Willow and Rust weddings to any couples! We had so many compliments from our guests. She created beautiful centrepieces and backdrops. As we had our ceremony, drinks reception and evening reception at the same venue, she was happy to come back to the venue to rearrange all the decors and discussed everything with the venue staffs so we didn't need to worry about anything. Once again, we are very happy with the service offered by Sam and everything was just perfect! Thank you very much Sam from Stacey and Matt x

Samantha took the reins from us around a month before our wedding. She understood very quickly what we wanted but also added a lot of experience styling our marquee. Samantha's communication was excellent before our wedding and was a dream to have her coordinate the day. Looking back we don't know what we would have done without her and wouldn't hesitate in recommending her for planning, styling and coordinating services. Thank you Samantha you are really talented in what you do and we will always look back fondly on the contribution you made to our day. James & Laura Tucker.

Cracking converted Mill House gives up some lovely photo opportunities, especially in the evening with the late sunshine. Perfect place to start a walk across the toll bridge into Darley Park.

Wow what a duo! Emma and Rebecca were incredible from start to finish! We couldn’t have wished for better co-ordinators! They made us feel super relaxed right from our initial chat and that anything was possible when making decisions on our big day! The day was absolutely faultless which was all credit to E&R! Even our guests commented on what genuinely lovely people they are! We’ll really miss wedding planning with them now it’s all done, but will take away such special memories thanks to them.

Emma and Rebecca were incredibly attentive to our needs throughout the wedding planning process and helped create our perfect vision. The decor looked stunning and the gorgeous grounds provided a beautiful scenery for our day. Our guests, (many of whom had never been to Calke Abbey before) were blown away with the venue. The ladies at Ivy House were superb. They took care of every detail and went out of their away to ensure everything was perfect for us. They went above and beyond making sure every detail was covered. With the beautiful location, extremely professional, thorough and helpful wedding planners and charming décor, it was simply a perfect day! We are so grateful to the Ivy House Ladies for making our Wedding Day everything we could have wished for.

I have absolutely no idea how we would have coped without Rebecca and Emma from Ivy House Weddings when it came to planning our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for better support to help create the most perfect day, and the attention to detail from the planning stages right through to the last dance on the day was amazing to ensure that everything ran smoothly - we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rebecca and Emma to anyone getting married. Don’t do it alone - they will look after you so well and you won’t regret it!

Rating: 5 / 5

If you want a stress free, beautiful wedding or event I can not recommend Emma and Rebecca enough! They are the most lovely ladies who are there to support from the first viewing to kicking you out at the end of the night. The thought of planning a wedding whilst living abroad was a scary prospect but thanks to Ivy House it was a wonderful experience. Our day was absolutely perfect and we wouldn't change a thing, even down to the tiny details it was our dream wedding. Thank you so much to you both!

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!

Bespoke Weddings have really helped us out, our wedding would have never have happened so soon without them and the competition. From the initial meeting with Maria she has been very supportive with our situation and helpful with us going ahead with the wedding in 6 months time which is very encouraging. We've never felt any pressure to go ahead with the competition or other options given but it's nice they support local companies. I would recommend anyone to apply to the competitions as it could save you a huge amount and get you married sooner than you ever expected and change your life!

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.

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.

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 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

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.
