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

I chose Jenny and Rachel to be my wedding venue stylist and Florist knowing they would do an incredible job however what I received on the day BLEW ME AWAY- absolutely stunning throughout from the chair sashes, wooden arches to the candles to the flowers and foliage. Thank you both, so much. Hannah & Andrew

Jenny sorted our wedding decor that included an archway, chair covers and seating plan display, that all made our day that extra bit special - a huge thank you ☺️ x

We absolutely loved working with Jenny on our wedding. She was welcoming from the beginning, full of expertise and made us feel at ease. The room on the day was literally taken from my dreams and made real - it looked absolutely stunning and we can't recommend Jenny highly enough!

It is always a pleasure to work with Jenny and her team, they work very often with us at The Maynard, Grindleford styling weddings and we often organise photoshoots too! Highly recommended and preferred supplier in our hotel!

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 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 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

Wow what a wedding venue, we had our day on 17/11/24 and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Victoria and the whole team went above and beyond for us to make our day perfect. From the moment we first came to see the venue, all the way through booking and the many many emails back and forth during the planning process, the team made sure we felt special all the way through. Even though it rained it down ALL day the venue was stunning and the orangery is so perfect that the photos came out perfectly. We honestly can't thank you enough. We would love to do it all over again! Hazel & Ben Thornley

A really lovely wedding in a truly gorgeous setting! I came here with my partner for a friends wedding, and also stayed in the lodges the night after. The venue was beautifully decorated and spacious. It has a beautiful courtyard for photos to be taken after the reception. The food for the wedding breakfast and the evening was delicious with plenty to go around. The lodges themselves were nice and clean, with a comfy bed to rest after dancing all evening. The breakfast buffet in the restaurant in the morning was also delicious with lots of options. The views from the restaurant out onto the lakes were also stunning. After my experience as a guest I would definitely recommend booking your wedding here. If you’re a guest going to stay, then look forward to it!

It was my first time photographing a wedding at Foxtail last week, and I must say, it was nothing short of amazing. The building itself were the weddings take place are great, loads of natural light and atmosphere , blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. as we explored the grounds, I was treated to so many great spots to take the Bride & Groom which provided the perfect backdrop for their couple photos. the staff were also fantastic too, very professional and on the ball making sure all the guest were well looked after. If you're looking for a top class wedding venue, this could be the one!

What a beautiful place for a wedding. Stunning grounds Very professional staff were excellent, nothing too much trouble. Food delicious . Breakfast Very tasty. Pods, we're amazing everything you need for an overnight stay. Very cosy. Would definitely recommend .can't wait to go back and explore the grounds more.

I found Liz and Flawless Venue Dressing online and reached out to her decorate for my uncle's 60th birthday. Having reached out to other vendors, who dilly-dallied, Liz was fantastic! She responded quickly and asked for my suggestions and within the day we had a general idea for the décor. Liz also accommodated all of our last minute changes (including an increased number of chairs and a decorative easel). Moreover, due to a mishap in transit, one of the decoration items was damaged, so she added a new element ad hoc and it was amazing. When Liz came to do the final checks, we had to remove the balloons (as my uncle is allergic to latex) and she once again obliged and also adjusted the decorations to account for the balloons! It was a fantastic experience working with her and her prices are very reasonable! 100% recommend and will call on her services again should we ever host another event as large as this!

I can't recommend Liz enough. From start to finish the service was amazing. The amount of time & effort put in really did shine through, our reception looked stunning. We had the Kings and Queens package with added extras and it was worth every single penny. If your looking for venue dressing for any occasion I'd definitely recommend Liz.

Flawless venue dressing provides the dressing for my mum's wedding. Liz was super helpful and gave so many ideas which we hadn't thought of. Liz went above and beyond on the day and made the occasion so special. The room looked beautiful.

Fantastic service. My wedding was dressed beautifully and the back drop lights just looked amazing. Liz worked with me to get everything exactly how I wanted and I highly recommend using her for any parties.

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.

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!

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.

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!

From the day I contacted her to discuss about ideas that I had prior to the wedding, she was so helpful, patient and professional.

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 😍💐✨️

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!

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 !!

I recently photographed a wedding at this venue and highly recommend it. Tucked away in the countryside with a picturesque lake onsite, it boasts a beautiful ceremony room where the sides can be removed during summer and fantastic teepees for the reception.

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

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.

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

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
