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

We recently had our wedding at Occasions, and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, the owner was a pleasure to work with—professional, knowledgeable, and always going the extra mile. As first-time wedding planners, we appreciated his invaluable advice and guidance, which made everything stress-free. On the big day, every detail—from the decor to the setup—was beyond our expectations, executed flawlessly and right on time. It’s rare to find someone so dedicated to making your event special. We’re so grateful and would book with him again without hesitation. Thank you for making our day magical!

I recently had my nikah at Occasions Events Venue, and it was an exceptional experience. Saleem, the event manager, demonstrated excellent communication throughout, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The decor and food surpassed our expectations, creating a truly magical atmosphere. The venue's fantastic parking facility and beautiful outdoor private space added to the overall charm. Highly recommend Occasions for any special event!

It's one of the nicest and most serene venues I've been so far in years. The owner is business minded. I say this because a beautiful garden is attached to the Hall where good pictures can be taken and canapés can be served before the hall is opened for the guests. There is parking just opposite the hall and also on the side roads. The toilets are sparkling clean and you have a reception area as well. I can only give this venue a 5 star.

We came here from London for a wedding. The food is amazing. Decor was top class. Bathrooms are modern. And they have parking available. Great experience.

Just back from a family birthday party (100 years) and the venue was brilliant catering for 2 to 103 years old. Food great, lovely atmosphere, played our own music and enjoyed a wonderful time together. Highly recommend.

Had my bridal shower here 03/06/2023 and the staff here made it such a perfect day! They were attentive and friendly hosts who helped my day run smoothly. The food was absolutely beautiful, and thoroughly enjoyed by all. I couldn’t have asked for any better! I cannot recommend the Arkwright Centre enough! Thank you so much to the wonderful team, very excited to celebrate my wedding here in just a few months xx

What can we say apart from Paula and her team are amazing. Our wedding reception was made even more special because of their nothing is too much hassle approach. On arrival the decorations were just as we had asked and it had the wow factor instantly the lighting, table decorations, sweet cart, cake table and our guest arrival table was perfect with the wishing well for cards. The whole night ran so smoothly,with Paula checking with us for timings. The buffet was phenomenal, delicious great selection and so tasty. We had 3 glutton free guests and their selection blew their minds. The whole package was such amazing value for money including the dj who was by the way also amazing and took requests all night, not just your usual wedding disco music, we had a ball ! I honestly can not recommend this Venue and Paula enough ! Thank you team you helped so much in making our day amazing ! 😊😊

Paula and the team at The Arkwright centre made my Baby shower a lovely day for me! They were very helpful in giving us a hand in setting up to helping pack away. The afternoon tea was delicious and everyone commented on how much food there was and how tasty too! The room is decorated lovely to start with before my additional decor which is always a bonus. Once again, thank you so much for making my day extra special!x

A.S. Party set up our wedding decor, providing table centre pieces and chair decoration. They helped us pick what would look good and came in to set it all up before the wedding. They made the venue look even more incredible than it already did. They also supplied the DJ who was great; he really listened to what we wanted to play and kept the guests up and moving until closing time. We would really recommend them. Thank you guys.

I would like to say a huge thank you to A S Party for making my Daughters wedding at the Fox and Goose on the 8th September very special, we had a couple of last minute changes for the evening, and they saved the day by finding, and playing a couple of very specific and slightly obscure songs, they also provided the disco for the evening which went well. I would highly recommend the Ice Cream bike, along with popcorn and candy floss, this went down extremely well with our guests. Excellent service very highly recommended.

Had these for my wedding in November amazing came in the afternoon to set up I didn't even know they'd done that as they didn't disturb the wedding bfast very accommodating with the music. They contributed to me having an smazing wedding day. If I have any further events they would definitely be my first call. And what can I say about price they can't be beaten.

Thank you for providing a memorable party for my daughter’s 21st. Disco, Kareoke and selfie booth. So professional, could not do enough to make our evening special. Took all the worry of needing to understand all the technology. I was going to just hire a Kareoke machine, I am so glad I didn’t. The night was just perfect. Would highly recommend!!

Used A. S. Party for my wedding this year in September, just wanted to write this review as you helped make my wedding so special. You provided the DJ, love letters and letter box. Very professional service and great DJ, everyone got up dancing. Very relaxed an easy going and took requests, I have had lots of compliments from friends and family telling me how smashing you were. Thank you ❤️

Wow, what a place! They kept the drinks flowing, food brought out, tables cleared and all of the staff were polite. Thank you to Katie for topping my glass up 😂. As others have said, the grounds are stunning with the added bonus of Highland cows in the field. Great service goes along way, and your team did a fantastic job!

An absolutely stunning venue, with a great view of the country side. Had a February wedding here and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff was really friendly and helpful and our event manager Helen made sure everything went exactly as planned. Giving 4 stars because you can not choose your own catering service and I can not recommend the in-house caterer Jenkinsons.

From the moment we viewed The Ashes, to the morning after the big day, we cannot fault the venue or the team for their support throughout. Our big day was nothing short of perfect thanks to our amazing wedding coordinator, Sarah - and if something did go wrong, we certainly had no idea. The venue itself is a hidden beauty, and we were fortunate enough to do our initial viewing on a lovely sunny day, which instantly told us we knew we would be making the right choice in booking The Ashes. From the grounds, the ceremony and wedding breakfast barns, to the Old Dairy Suite and the onsite accommodation, we genuinely couldn’t fault the venue or the team in the slightest. I think it would be fair to say, that as Jenkinsons are exclusively the caterers for The Ashes, we were a little apprehensive, however they exceeded ALL expectations, and the food was exceptional. If you’re worried that this could be an issue, you really shouldn’t be. Our wedding day was perfect, made possible only by the exceptional venue and incredible staff. Thank you!

We stayed here for my sisters Wedding on 23rd May. Francesca looked after us on the day as she was so helpful as were the rest of the team. The weather was not the best but the Ashes is so beautiful it didn't matter and the staff accommodated us having the reception drinks inside as it began to rain quickly! My husband and I stayed in the Coach House which was beautiful. Our whole stay was wonderful, Thank you

Our Wedding Day was PERFECT, partly because we had Imagine Event's style it! They really listened to exactly what we wanted and it was just perfect. It looked amazing, we had massive artificial flowers and not one guest knew they wasn't real. They honestly looked amazing. Their replies are also so so fast and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. Thank you so much girls from start to finish, we really appreciate all the hard work you did on and before our big day. Abbie & Will (28.05.2022) xx

I don't even know where to begin!! I was absoloutely stunned at how amazing Sophie and the team did on our wedding day. The decorations were beyond beautiful and you guys worked so hard and even in the hottest day on record!! I had no idea what I wanted when I first came to your studio and it's like you guys were in my head and created this vision that was perfect. Even the moongate (with the last minute alterations) was absoloutely amazing and I loved it even more than the original plan! Everyone was so impressed with how the venue was decorated. I cannot thank you guys enough for all your hard work!! ❤️

Sophie and the team went above and beyond for our beautiful wedding day. I changed my mind multiple times with colour, decor and a huge delay due to Covid was partly the cause for my decision changes. Regardless, nothing was too much for Sophie and the team, they were always professional and friendly, even on the night before when I realised I had missed off the order chair seat robes for the ceremony chairs and had only accounted for the wedding breakfast chairs, Sophie saw how upset and stressed I was and sent a member of staff the following day (wedding day) to arrange this for us at no extra cost which was amazing. We cannot thank them enough. Thanks, Kara & Danny.
