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

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!

Can’t thank Claire and the team enough for all they did to help decorate and set up our wedding. Their experience with weddings and the contacts they have really helped us and we certainly couldn’t have done it without them. Claire totally understood our vision from the get go and really brought it to life - it looked better than we could have even dreamed of. Her calm demeanour was a real comfort to us throughout. She goes above and beyond to help out and is a lovely easy-going person in general. We couldn’t recommend Village Green more!

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

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 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.

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!

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 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!

Lavinia and her brilliant team at Blackbrook House will provide you with the most unique and intimate wedding experience possible. When it came to choosing our venue we didn't want any kind of out of the box experience, simply picking and choosing from different packages, be it food, drink or decor/theme. Being the food- and wine lovers we are, we wanted to be sure that none of our guests would be anything less than amazed. We also wanted advice and someone, who could take our ideas and transform them to perfection. Add to that, had we a house big enough, we would have loved to have a wedding at home - it was supposed to feel like our space on the day, and it did! Blackbrook House was the only venue that was prepared to take on this challenge and exceeded our expectations when delivering more than we could have ever wished for. The venue is warm, homely, welcoming and simply a lovely place to be. In the many meetings we had with Lavinia, she was always one step ahead of us in terms of how our ideas could work and be put into reality. The decor was simple and understated, yet stunning. Steve excelled at delivering a truly spectacular meal, which the whole wedding party loved sharing in and made the day both formal and comfortably casual at the same time. On your special day you need to feel certain, that everything will run smoothly and without haste. Kenny ensures exactly that. His team of servers are both omnipresent, yet nowhere to be seen. Finally - if anything should go not quite as planned on the day, the team behind will fix it! We could go on forever, but hopefully we have said enough!

Fabulous place. Fantastic food the best l have had at any five star hotel. If you want the best then you must give this place a try

What an amazing place, as a photographer i am only too happy to cover a wedding there, beautiful surroundings and amazing hospitality. can't wait to go again

Once you find Blackbrook House, you will never look back. After our first visit to Blackbrook House, and a few hours of relaxed wedding chat we were blown away by the staff and their warm and personal approach. We both felt so inspired and excited, it was an easy decision, this was definitely where we were going to get married! Blackbrook House is a gorgeous Victorian house surrounded by rolling green hills. What has especially impressed us is the homely and warm welcome we have received every time we have stepped through it's front doors. You can tell Lavinia and her staff genuinely care about what they do, maybe because it's a family business run by a dedicated and creative team. We also loved the fact that the house was ours for the day. Blackbrook House is such a stark contrast to many of the venues we visited previously. Throughout the planning stages there were no packages to deal with, everything was bespoke, we even had a meeting and a tasting session with their clever chef and what a treat that was! All of our crazy Danish traditions were welcomed and matched with creative and colourful ideas and lots of special Blackbrook details. Our wedding day was just unforgettable and perfect in every way! No words can ever be enough to thank Lavinina, Kenny, Faye and Jo. We have made some great friends and look forward to Lee's big birthday coming up, which will definitely be celebrated in style at Blackbrook!

The Hidden Hive will forever be a special place for us and the help from all involved at the venue really allowed us to make it our day. No request was too much and solutions were always given if there was anything that couldn't be done. The venue itself is beautiful even on an overcast spring day. Having the ceremony and reception all at one site really allowed for the place to become apart of the day. The venue allowed us to bring a number of personal touches to the day, on top of the 5 cars full of decorations we did ourselves, we had multiple classic cars displayed, a tandem bicycle, doves, and alpacas! The venue assisted with the band we had on our day and the caterers and bar team were all top notch. Everyone working felt a part of the day which gave a great atmosphere to which we couldn't have had without!

We had the most perfect day at the hidden hive celebrating our wedding. From start to finish all the details and put questions were sorted. The team were incredible and the recommended suppliers really made our day. All our guests were wowed by the venue, it's setting and the food and drink and we are still getting messages from guests saying it was the best wedding they've been to! Being completely biased we agree as it was perfect

Wow wow wow !! I recently photographed a wedding here and secretly fell in love with this venue!! It is the most gorgeous setting for you to do your wedding in your way. The ceremony room is stunning and the tipis for your reception are just beautiful and in the middle of the most gorgeous grounds!! It’s a gem of a wedding venue !!

We have just used The Hidden Hive for our daughters wedding and am pleased to say it was an amazing day. The venue itself is beautiful with loads of space all in your private area. Dani who is event manager really knows her stuff and as such made everything about the day easy. This venue is defo worth a visit if your planning an event and can guarantee it definitely has the WOW factor.

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.

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!

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!

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!

Absolutely adored how my wedding venue was decorated! You did a smashing job, we loved every bit of it. It was just how I Imagined it, the image in my head came alive! You are all lovely and made the process of everything so smooth, super helpful and easy going! All night I received compliments on how beautiful it all was. Thankyou for making my dreams come true! Would recommend 100% x

Thank you so much for styling our wedding! It really did look incredible and more than we ever imagined 😍😍 We received so many compliments on how beautiful both the ceremony and wedding breakfast room looked and so glad we chose you to style our special day! THANK YOU!!! 🧡🧡🧡

To the Designs by Daykin team, We would like to extend our gratitude to your team for the wedding decor you provided on the day of our wedding. Not only did you make sure everything was beautifully presented, but you also curated an exquisite and intimate environment for our special day. The whole booking process was easy to complete. When we were in the shop, selecting items for the day, we never felt pressured to have any additional extras. Nothing was too much of an ask and your team were professional and thoughtful throughout the whole experience creating a stress-free day for us. Thank you so much, Elliott & Molly

The ladies here are great, communication was excellent and they really made my wedding look amazing. They took the time to listen to my panic the day before and were great at reassuring me everything would look great and it really did.

Fantastic set up by Maisy and Zac. Absolutely stunning! So grateful for the time they took to make my vision a reality. I must also comment on their excellent communication. Both of them kept in contact with me from booking to delivering, both on designs, any questions I had as-well as delivery times ect. They were all round fantastic and I will definitely be using again in the future. Thanks so much guys for taking the stress away and allowing us to enjoy our celebrations.

I messaged style events to do a 40 light up display, the response and service was fast, a few weeks later I decided to add on my balloons, again wasn’t a problem, replied and we sorted the colours out very quickly. Then two days before I asked for a back drop… yes I know very indecisive person but they was able to accommodate this. They had contacted the venue and arranged times to set up, and they did it beautifully. I can honestly say I will be using them again, the professionalism and the communication made everything so easy. Thank you, the display and everything was perfect x

I used style events to do a 40 light up display and balloons for my partners party. The response and service was first class and value was excellent. We arranged times to set up at the venue and it looked amazing ans then collection after the event was seemless. Fantastic company and would highly recommend for anyone wanting a display for a party/event.

Zac and Maisy provided a shimmer wall, balloon garland and light up numbers for my 30th party and it all looked amazing. They were lovely to work with throughout and made sure everything was set up and sorted before I arrived. Would 100% recommend them if you’re organising an event. Thank you!!!

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.

Where do I start?! Emma and the team were absolutely amazing from beginning to end! Emma could make sense of my rather vague descriptions of how I wanted things, the vision seemed clear in my head but it proved difficult trying to explain it. She knew exactly what to do to bring it to life and nothing was too much trouble. On the day she never stopped - she’s the extra bridesmaid/ best friend doing everything she could to help us and keeping us calm, the on the day coordinator seamlessly organising the supplier arrivals, personal chauffeur when we needed to move our car and slightly crazy looking lady running through the gardens so Chris would have a natural smile for the photos!! The dedication was another level! With me being rather OCD I didn’t know if I would be able to step back and enjoy the day fully without worrying about things but from the day before when we took all our things to set up I completely relaxed knowing everything was under control. Emma’s family were the perfect team and they couldn’t do enough for us but at the same time they felt like friends as they are so lovely and chilled. The day went so perfectly and we cannot thank Emma enough for her huge part in this. The only disappointment is that we can’t do the day all over again!!

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!

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.
