The Best Wedding And Event Planners in Earl Sterndale, Derbyshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Kayleigh is very helpful and has lots of ideas for kids parties and weddings ☺️ I used the number lights for my son's birthday and Kayleigh dropped them and picked then up in the time we had said. Social distancing was applied and the numbers were wiped before we received them. Really good quality and great value for money. Will definitely use again xx

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!

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!

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

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 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

Booked Carlo and his wife for the whole package! (Photos, DJ, video). The day was absolutely amazing, made us all laugh and got the most perfect pictures and video to remember the day by 💖 he made everything so easy and the day went smoothly, no complaints and couldnt recommend enough

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 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

My husband and I got married in July 2024, and utilised Jess’ on the day wedding coordination package - but what her and her team give you is so so much more than that! We booked a venue which required lots of different suppliers (separate caterer, bar company, linen hire, port-a-loos etc….) and in the run up to it I said to my husband that I really wanted someone I could hand everything over to in advance so I could enjoy the run up and not be worrying about coordinating everything! Luckily, I’d met Jess at an event before we were even engaged and so she was the first person I went to for this help. And I am SO glad we did! She goes above and beyond for you to make sure your day is special and runs smoothly. I’ll never forget that I’d planned to tie the tags onto our favours the night before the wedding with my bridesmaids, only to turn up and for them to have already been done by Jess and her team without even needing to have asked. We had drinks “tokens” to hand out to our evening guests and I went to ask Jess for these in the evening to hand them out, again to find that they’d taken care of it already. They were one step ahead always on the little details, and knowing there was someone we could go to on the day if needed (rather than people coming to me or the wedding party) was truly invaluable. After our wedding I asked my partner what’s the one “non negotiable” you’d recommend to other couples planning a wedding like ours and we both agreed that it would be Jess and her team. I know my sister is also recommending her to friends who are getting married soon too as she was equally impressed by her! Thank you Jess and team for helping to make our day so perfect, we genuinely couldn’t have done it without you!

Jess and her team were amazing, they were friendly and so, so organised. Jess helped make the lead-up to our wedding run seamlessly, which meant we didn’t have all the stress of sorting everything out. As she is a wedding expert, she gave us great tips and advice about how best to set out our day, we wouldn’t have had a clue otherwise! On the day of our wedding, everything ran to time and went perfectly and she was a very calming presence for my husband when he was getting a bit stressed out. It was like a professional production and we could just relax and enjoy ourselves - we even forgot they were there sometimes! We would highly recommended hiring Jess to coordinate your wedding, it’s a no brainer really, you can have an amazing well-put together wedding and no stress!

Our daughter got married in June 2024 and we were very fortunate to have been recommended Jess by Kate from our marquee company (Special Event Tipis and Marquees). We had got quite far along the DIY planning route when I realised as MOB that I wanted to be able to enjoy the wedding day and the build up to it without being overwhelmed with everything. My husband was quite sceptical at first about why we needed a coordinator as we had everything booked. This was mainly because he hadn't quite grasped what was involved, but after meeting Jess he was onboard 110% and he, like the rest of us, thinks she is fantastic and money well spent. We engaged Jess for her 'on the day management' but this is truly much, much more than just 'on the day' management and is an absolute MUST if you are having a marquee wedding. She is an experienced professional who has a very calm approach to everything. She stepped in 6 weeks before the wedding and from then on we knew we were in safe hands. She gave us much needed advice on a whole host of things and made everything run smoothly. She expertly coordinated with all our suppliers - of which there were many and all of whom were brilliant! She and her team (hello & thank you to the other Jesses) came the day before the wedding and set up the marquee. We went along to give a hand, but she had everything covered. She even had a kettle & made us all a cuppa! They came to the church rehearsal and then went back to the marquee to continue with the set up which enabled me able to spend time with my daughter and our family and friends, stress free, the night before the wedding, which is something which I would not have been able to do without her being onboard. Unfortunately, the weather on the day wasn't great . After glorious sunshine the day before, in true Lake District style, it rained on the day. We were so confident and comfortable with Jess's advice that we trusted her to her to make the last minute decision if the drinks reception would be inside or outside. She, together with Fran from Holker Hall, managed this beautifully and our guests have said that they were quite pleased it rained as it enabled them to have a look around the beautiful Holker Hall. Jess and her team were very professional and at the same time warm and friendly and it genuinely comes across how much they love their work. We had the most fantastic & fun wedding party and all our guests have said that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. I do believe we had the dream team of suppliers. Thank you so much Jess, it wouldn't have happened without you.

As a very indecisive and unorganised couple, we needed help so put our trust in Jess. Choosing Jess as our wedding planner was the best decision we ever made and enabled us to have the wedding of our dreams! Jess is so professional, organised and knowledgeable in every single department and we are so glad we hired Jess so early on in the planning. Jess has a wealth of amazing contacts and was always available to support us through the process. She is extremely hands on and provided a service that was worth every penny. Her and her team were phenomenal on the day and made sure everything went perfectly - she is also just a lovely person to spend time with whilst organising our big day! If you’re reading this deciding whether to enquire, absolutely do it! x

Simply Amazing! Great Company and it’s always a pleasure to work with Tracy.

We've worked with Tracy for a number of years and she is a brilliant event planner. Her attention for detail and creativity are second to none. Her events always have the wow factor and it's a pleasure to work with her delivering some truly amazing events. Look forward to working together for many year to come.

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. She listens to every bit of my worries and solves things straight away. She's always at the end of the phone and sorts everything out. Thank you as always for our success in our company event and work party!!

We are so pleased and feel very lucky that to have had Megan, Jack and the team involved in our wedding. The team worked super hard and they went over and above to make our day as special as it was! Megan was always responsive and easy to get in contact with. They have such an easy going attitude, which is amazing when anything to do with weddings is stressful. Our guests loved the tipi and people keep telling us it was one of the best weddings they have ever been too. If you are thinking of having a tipi wedding, then 100% do it, and do not hesitate to go with Tipis in the Peak. Thank you so much, it is a day we will always remember and the team played a a massive part in this!

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 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!

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!

Would like to say a Huge thank you to Sam Willow and Rust Weddings for her beautiful styling of our gorgeous wedding venue. Thank you for bringing our fairytale, festival wedding to life. Our venue looked beautiful & the flowers on the tables were gorgeous & matched our bridal flowers perfectly. Sam was great to work with, really personable, professional and creative and understood our vision from the start. Would highly recommend Sam for styling your wedding 😍💐✨️

Samantha did an amazing job setting up our tenth anniversary ceremony. The decorations were beautiful and made our day even more special. She was professional, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her services to anyone looking to make their event truly memorable. Thank you, Samantha!

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!

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.

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!

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!

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

Yesterday was second time that I worked with Helen at Peckforton Castle, so many special and unique aspects were brought into play at this event, I can still hear the gasps of appreciation from the guests, the whole day ran like clockwork. I know what I'm talking about when I heap praise on Helen, I've been around the block having managed luxury hotels around the world for over 20 years and in my second career as a toastmaster for 15 years. I can tell you that Helen is right up there at the top of her profession On Saturday last once again I had the pleasure of working with Helen for a wedding at the palatial Old Palace, Chester. From the very start at Chester Cathedral to the first dance and conclusion it all ran perfectly with Helen and her team quietly, calmly & most efficiently ensuring this special day had a most successful outcome.

WOW! What can we say - Helen you were absolutely fantastic. We honestly do not think our day could have gone as smoothly as it did without you. From our initial meeting up until the big day the effort and orginasiation you put in instantly made us feel at ease. The logistics and complexity of the day was handled well within your calm & capable hands. We can't thank you enough, thank you for helping make our day so perfect. Lots of Love Charlotte & Jamie xxx

Where to start..... I can not ever thank Helen enough for giving us the most magical day of our lives and the wedding of our absolute DREAMS last September. When I first came across Helen back in 2019, I knew instantly from looking at her beautiful website and following our initial consultation that Helen was exactly the person I wanted and needed to have planning our wedding with us; I never needed to consider any other planners, I knew straight away that Helen and her team were going to be the ones for us. Initially, my (now) Husband was against the idea of spending money on a wedding planner however with heavy work schedules and dreams of a luxurious wedding but not knowing a thing about the industry, there was no doubt that it was a battle he was not going to win; he will be the first person now to say it was the BEST decision we made in the whole of the planning process. Having Helen on board paid even more dividends when COVID hit and we were faced with two postponements; Helen took so much stress away from us during that time, showed us so much care and I have no doubts that Helens reputation and highly respected position in the wedding industry meant that we were luckily able to move the wedding date on both occasions with minimal financial impact. Helen is not only the ultimate professional, she is just the most wonderful person and I will be forever grateful that we were able to share such a special time with her and have her support for every step of the way. Her eye for the small details, her impeccable taste, along with her non-nonsense approach and wealth of knowledge really did help create a dream day for us and our families, far beyond any expectations. If you're unsure whether or not to get in touch or whether you need the help of a wedding planner like Helen, please don't hesitate for a single second, I promise you it will be the best decision you will make. Helen, thank you for everything! x

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!

Was a great surprise party for my 30th the decorations wear great thank you so much highly recommend!!!!!! Thanks again ….. you will not be disappointed !!

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!

Spectra not only decorated the room beautifully, but entertained the guests brilliantly. I'd recommend them to anyone who wanted an event hosted and a drag entertainer.
