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

HUGE thank you to Sam from the Little White Heart Company for providing us with the white chair sashes. They looked fabulous against the navy chair covers! She also provided us with Mr & Mrs letters and a big lantern that kept our decor simple yet beautiful. Responses were super quick, and prices are incredible!! Nothing was too much bother for her. Thank you again! I would highly recommend!

Thank you so much to Sam from the Little White Heart company for decorating our wedding so beautifully. We met Sam at a wedding open day at the Royal Bath hotel and got to see first hand how amazing her set up was and most of her decorations, that we asked her to book our day then! We choose the all inclusive package which included everything we needed plus more. We met with Sam again at our venue and we went through everything we would like and she also gave good ideas and recommendations on things we could use to fill up space and make our vision and reality. On the day, everything looked amazing and how we wanted it to be. We also had so many people tell us how wonderful the hall looked. Thank you again Sam for all your hard work, it was perfect.

Thank you to Sam who provided us with white chair covers and sage green sashes for our wedding they looked amazing with the rest of the venues decorations! She was amazing from first contact right the way through to after the wedding!

We used Sam for our wedding styling and she did not disappoint. She understood my vision and brought it to life. I didn’t know if people would understand the image I had in my head for my wedding but Sam absolutely smashed it. She’s extremely easy to talk to and was quick to respond to any query I had. Highly recommend

I didn’t think planning a wedding abroad could be so easy! I can’t recommend and thank you enough - Deborah was amazing, even with my probably sometimes silly questions I’d ask late in the evenings, she was always so happy and quick to reply! And the coordinator on the day of the wedding at the venue was just as amazing, so attentive and made the day flow effortlessly. We had the most perfect and couldn’t have asked for anything more 💕

Sally and Deborah were amazing! We had the most magical day and enjoyed every minute of it. Sally is such a warmhearted, beautiful person. Easy to talk to and very understanding. Highly recommend her. Thank you and the whole team for this wonderful, small, adventures wedding. It was a dream xxxx

Gemma was such a great help for our wedding. We chose to do a very much DIY wedding which meant there was alot to organsie so Gemma was extremely helpful in terms of giving advice and sharing excellent suppliers for our wedding. We had regular catch ups and she was so helpful in regards to putting a schedule together for the day and letting me know what would work best, as this was something I found quite overwhelming to do myself. She was then there for the weekend, popping in to help with set up and discuss the next day, and helping making decisions I was being indecisive over! On the day she was fab, I was so pleased to have her there, she knew the venue really well which made life much easier. She was fab!

We booked West Country wedding planner for our wedding in sidmouth. I could not recommend them more ! Their whole team was fantastic Gemma, Abie and Kayleigh ! Abie was available to us on the day and she was wonderful making sure everything ran completely smoothly. She put both our minds at ease was incredibly organised and efficient and friendly. She was fantastic with our guests and managing the vendors. Kayleigh was also fantastic on the day. I didn’t have to worry about a thing they went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. I cannot thank them enough! I was also able to hire extra decor (wedding postbox, love letters etc ) that I wanted from their sister company bold and beautiful weddings! It was super handy they delivered and helped to set it up. They also moved my own decor throughout the day to re use it in various locations as the wedding party moved about. They also helped me if I needed any recommendations for suppliers. Don’t hesitate to book them they remove all the stress to allow you to enjoy your wedding day !

I’m really not sure where to begin with the review. I will start by saying, 5 stars is nowhere near enough for the exceptional service Stacey has provided us since the end of 2022. After getting engaged in Sep 2022, I knew I wanted a wedding planner to help my dream wedding become a reality. My fiancé and I had a few calls with planners, but when I had my call with Stacey, I knew she was the one I needed. We hired Stacey as our full wedding planner and trust me - how worth it Stacey is. Stacey has a fun, charismatic and charming nature which instantly made us feel at ease. My mum and I always love a dance, so the fact Stacey had the ‘Spice Girls’ in her insta bio - we knew she was the one for us. Stacey has worked tirelessly since then, coordinating with suppliers, replying to emails and making my stress melt away as a bride. The thing I find really unique about Stacey is she is genuinely ALWAYS on hand. She is only a message, or phone-call away and will never let you go to bed feeling stressed or upset about the wedding. Stacey has been to venue visits with us, we have had numerous calls and zoom calls with her and the service Stacey has provided is faultless, I have been truly gobsmacked with how efficient Stacey is. Whenever there has been issues, Stacey has dealt with them. Stacey has offered me advice, and I feel as though we have been a dream team together in this wedding. Stacey valued my opinion, but also knew when her professional judgement was best. She understood our needs to a T and recommended suppliers who fitted our vision and budget. The past 18 months has been an easy, fun ride due to Stacey and I feel genuinely said this part of the wedding process has come to an end. I will miss our whatsapps, voice notes and all that happened in between. You are an angel Stacey. Now if we thought the lead up was enough, the on the day service was MIND BLOWING. Stacey and her 2 coordinators, Jess and Kelly made our day memorable and all round perfect. Stacey arrived and came to check on me, she calmed me down and reassured me everything was going well. Stacey and her team took control of everything which meant I could, and also my family/bridesmaids could relax. They set up the card table, easels and most importantly the ceremony room decor which I was most nervous about. They welcomed guests, they moved decor around during the day and the most important job of them all - looked after my handbag!!!! They genuinely made sure all guests had the best day ever and were always on hand to help. Stacey and her team also ensured guests got on the coach safely which was a massive help, as we did not need to worry. Stacey and her team are fab. I cannot even put into words how much we love Stacey. She is a credit to her profession and genuinely, one of the most caring, efficient and lovely people we have ever met. We have already had so many people tell us this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to due to how well-planned it was, and some asking for Staceys number!!!! Staceys biggest achievement here is winning over my Dad! See below: “I know i told you this at the end of the evening, I was sceptical when Jhanvi and George decided to hire a wedding planner. Typical dad..."why do you want to spend that money on something we can do ourselves?" I am also not afraid to say I was wrong!!!!! Hearing about your involvement in the build up to the wedding (early days of venue selection, caterers etc etc right through to the Thursday before - even though it took 2 hours to get to Somerley) and then seeing you and your team in action on the day..........wow, wow, wow. Thank you so so much for helping make the day even more special than it was. The simple fact is we did not need to worry about anything behind the scenes and we could focus on our guests, enjoying the day/venue and of course the bride and groom.” All I can now say is - Stacey you are my FRIEND, not my PLANNER anymore. You made our day so special and for that we are grateful. HIRE STACEY!!!!! You will have the best wedding ever!!! Love, Jhanvi and George xx

We are so grateful to have had Stacey as our wedding coordinator – I honestly can’t say enough good things! We both agreed, that hiring Stacey was hands down one of the best investments we made for our wedding. We had the best day of our lives and having Stacey and Ali there on the day meant we could enjoy our day to the absolute max! From our very first meeting, it was clear that Stacey was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about making our day exactly what we wanted. Not to mention that we got on like a house on fire! Stacey was on hand to help with our planning when needed, I booked in a power hour call about 9 months out from the wedding which was exactly what I needed to keep me on track with planning. We had our final details call around 2 weeks before the wedding and it was the best feeling to hand over all of our suppliers to Stacey at that point, knowing it was all in hand and she knew exactly how we envisioned our day running. On the day of the wedding, Stacey and Ali went above and beyond. They handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day literally zero stress. Everything was considered and organised so well, from our quick-fire family photos to Stacey’s genius plan of doing a receiving line on the way out of the drinks reception to make sure our guests started to make their way to their seats on time. We received so many compliments from our guests about Stacey and Ali and how brilliant they were. The fact that we are still WhatsApp-ing 2 months after the wedding tells you all you need to know – Stacey genuinely cares about the couples she works with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stacey and her team, and if you are considering getting a wedding co-ordinator, just do it! Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable! Mr & Mrs G

We had Stacey and her team as our on the day coordinators and honestly it was the best decision ever, I don’t know how we thought we would do it without them! The team think of everything and our day was so perfect and ran smoothly and honestly that was down to Stacey and her team, I can’t recommend them enough, we could actually relax and enjoy our wedding day, they were absolutely amazing and hands down the best money we spent on our wedding! ✨ thank you so much again Stacey! ❤️

I cannot recommend Stacey & her team enough! I worked with them for the first time last summer (although I had heard great things from other suppliers previously). It was effortless! Everything ran so seamlessly; nothing was too much trouble. They helped gather people for photos, which is always great! Such lovely people to work with, fun but professional; it felt like we’d worked together for years! I’d definitely recommend Stacey to my clients & urge clients to consider a wedding coordinator because Stacey went above & beyond for our couple & everyone else involved as well. Can we please have another wedding together soon! x

We have worked with Rosie on events including our own open weekends and she is an absolute joy to work with. She is great at organising people, extremely friendly and approachable. Not only is she creative but she is able to take your ideas and turn them into something truly spectacular. We recommend Rosie to all our clients and look forward to working with her lots more in the future. If I was getting married again (which I am not planning on) I would hire Rosie immediately!

Having Rosie as part of our wedding day (and the months leading up to it) was one of the best decisions we made. She was so calm, composed and “on it” throughout the whole process that we couldn’t help but feel that way too! She is incredibly knowledgeable and just bubbling with amazing ideas. Having a marquee wedding on our family farm, we really appreciated her expert eye but also her focus on the environment and sustainability. My only regret is that we discovered Rosie about halfway through our planning - I only wish we could have worked with her from the beginning.

We have collaborated with Rosie on several events to date with our bell tent and luxury loo hire; she is a joy to work with and consistently creative. We hope to work more with Rosie in the future and highly recommend her services to anyone thinking of planning a party! (Bellorama & Wild Willy Cabins Team)

I had the pleasure of meeting Rosie in my capacity as a wedding celebrant. She is a consummate professional has a fabulous sense of style, is hugely creative and an enviable address book of contacts from which to draw. Instantly likeable and someone you just know will be a constant calm, focused and reassuring presence who will help turn your dream for your event into a reality. Her dedication to the job has no bounds. I love this image of her working hard despite the near tropical conditions at a wedding we worked on together in the summer last year. I couldn't recommend her more highly. She also happens to be a massive supporter of celebrant led ceremonies!

Jodie's talent and skill is breathtaking. Her artistic arrangements are just beautiful and her ability to truly listen to her clients makes the displays and the work she produces so personal and unique. She very kindly did all the flowers for our recent wedding in Hampshire and the comments we had regarding our bouquets, table displays and more, were endless. Thank you Jodie, sincerely for being the amazing talented person that you are. You are truly brilliant.

I attempted a wedding fair at the holiday inn and event Themes immediately caught my eye the table display looked beautiful and I knew I I wanted them to decorate our venue. Unfortunately our wedding got cancelled three times down to covid but jodie was amazing and kept in contact with me all the way through. On our wedding day the room looked incredible, the attention to detail was spotless and I couldn’t of been more happy it was perfect. Thank you so much jodie for making my wedding dreams come true 🥰

5 stars are not enough! From the day I met Jodie she put my mind at ease! I didn't have a clue where to begin planning a wedding, Jodie patiently sat down with me (and my Pinterest board) and went through everything. Jodie made examples of the centerpieces I had shown her in our colour scheme and they were exactly what we had wanted. Closer to the date Jodie met with myself and my husband and made sure we had everything we needed and reminded us of things we'd forgotten along the way. Throughout the whole process Jodie was never pushy for us to spend more money and worked alongside us with our budget. On the day everything was beautiful and the time and effort spent on every little detail was obvious. I would recommend event themes for any occasion and will definitely be using them again for future events! Thank you!

Jodie was an absolute pleasure to work with from the moment we began. She listened to what we wanted and made it happen, and it turned out better than we could have ever imagined. The flowers were stunning, the table decorations, the ramp decorations, the lanterns, the aisle and even down to her helping us make a U shaped table possible- was all perfect. Every single guest commented on how beautiful it was and complimented her work. Thank you to all at Event Themes by JW for the time spent setting up the on Friday and Saturday and for making the moving of flowers and relaying/ adding bar table’s absolutely seem less! I could literally go on and on about each and every aspect of the day… but I won’t. They truly exceeded expectations and made our dreams come true- contributing to making our wedding day the best day of our lives !

We simply can't thank Katie enough for creating the most magical wedding we could possibly wish for! From the first time we met Katie, we instantly relaxed knowing that she just got it, and understood exactly what were hoping for with the whole vibe and styling. Throughout the whole process, Katie made it really enjoyable and always kept us calm and focused - she has a very special and unique manner in which you have full confidence and trust in what she will deliver. We threw lots of random ideas her way, none of which ever phased her and she always came up with some excellent ideas. For the wedding weekend itself, Katie worked tirelessly on the styling, decor and overall ambience to create something we will never forget. All of our guests were amazed with the attention to detail and how magical it felt - and this was all down to Katie. We truly can't thank you enough and would recommend you without any hesitation. She's the best!! x

Katie was recommended to us by a mutual friend, and from the moment we met for the first planning meeting, we knew we had found the perfect fit for us. Warm, encouraging and incredibly knowledgeable, Katie guided us through the entire process from start to finish, with a calm, level head, and as much as detail as we wanted. We gave Katie our ‘vision’ for the day, and when she then presented us with mood boards and ideas at our next meet-up, she had encapsulated it perfectly. We asked her to give us colour, fun, a relaxed vibe, and a ‘festival feel’, and that’s exactly what we got. Using Style & Wonder enabled us to just focus on enjoying our day, and the lead up to it; with Katie and her team keeping all of the minuate and coordination away from us, we were able to spend extra time with family and friends, and really make the most of this incredibly special weekend. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Katie again for future events, and recommend her whole-heartedly. 5*****

Katie is and has been an absolute dream. She took our mad ramblings and vision and turned it into absolute perfection, our wedding day was exquisite. Her talent for venue styling and floristry is utterly incredible. Our flowers, not just our bouquets but also the general venue flowers, were simply stunning, she absolutely nailed the colour theme. It was better than we could have even imagined. There were so many comments on the day about how beautiful the venue looked. Not only this but Katie provided us with wedding planning services too. As we were so far away this was invaluable. We knew we were in safe hands. Nothing was too much trouble, and our late night/panicked emails and messages were met with nothing but love and enthusiasm. She provided a much needed sense of calm when the inevitable wedding stress and worry took over. No words can actually do Katie's work, or how much she has meant to us over the past 18 months, justice.

We cannot recommend Style and Wonder enough. From the initial call to the morning after the big day, Katie was always on hand and continually went above and beyond to ensure we had the day of our dreams. Every detail was thought of, even the teeniest tiniest ones making our wedding an absolute fairytale.

I contacted Shana via Facebook a few months ago with regard to using her as our decor supplier. In the build up to our wedding Shana has been nothing short of amazing. She is super patient and accommodating. I gave Shana my vision and she brought it to life and went above and beyond our expectations. Love your work Shana and happy to recommend you to others and even use you again ourselves in the future!

The decor was stunning. Everyone complimented the set up of the ceremony room and how lovely the reception tables were. The Photo Booth was a massive hit with everyone. The chocolate foundation was good and the children loved it, as well as the sweet cart. Communication was good and always available for any queries.

Shana created something so beautiful for my wedding. I can’t thank her enough for bringing my vision to life. Shana made the venue look even better then I could have imagined and was so helpful on the lead up to the wedding!! Thank you once again!!

Amazing from start to finish. My venue was stunning and was so much more than I ever imagined and the time and dedication these guys put in was so appreciated

Absoluley stunning venue for a wedding. I was lucky enough to document Charlotte and Sam's ceremony here. It is so beautiful in the summer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Fab yoga festival at Hatch House estate. Wonderful atmosphere, friendly and relaxed.

Great venue for Ballet under the stars! Annual event beautiful setting near Tisbury in the heart of Wiltshire

Went to a Wedding here. Stunning venue, out of the way but we'll worth the trip. The food was good!

What can I say. Georgie and the Team of Scarlet Rose Events are just amazing to work with. Their attention to detail’s are second to none. The events I have worked with them on have been amazing, and have flowed smoothly from start to finish. Friendly and approachable in a professional way. Georgie is every clients dream and I can’t wait to work with her and her team again soon.

We live in California and my daughter got engaged to a man in Somerset. How does one plan a wedding from across the Pond?? You call Georgi at Scarlett Rose Events that's how! We stumbled upon her website and instantly felt safe and comfortable entrusting her with my daughter's most important day. Georgi helped us find wonderful vendors, guided us through British wedding customs and legal considerations, spent hours on Facetime getting to know our vision and even helped us plan a Hen do and rehearsal dinner. She took care of all the details and made sure the wedding day itself went flawlessly. We know we never could have accomplished what we did without her gentle guidance and amazing spreadsheets. We thank you Scarlett Rose Events for the most amazing wedding we could have ever hoped for.

Can't recommend Georgi if Scarlett Rose Events highly enough! Her attention to detail is second to none, totally professional and super supportive. We could not have got through the day without her!!!

We were planning an outdoors wedding and Georgi at Scarlett Rose Events was extremely accommodating when we only wanted to hire sashes for our chairs. Georgi was so friendly to talk to when we were organising it and I felt like that part of our wedding decor was in safe hands. When the British weather decided to give us rain on our wedding day, Georgi stepped in last minute and allowed us to move our wedding inside and provided the most beautiful wedding arch dressed for our ceremony. It looked amazing and can only thank Georgi for coming to our rescue and creating such a beautiful wedding space. I would 100% recommend Georgi if you are after decor and set up for your event. The only reason why we didn’t hire more items from Georgi is because we just didn’t need it but her stock looks beautiful.

My Husband and I had a bit of a chaotic start to wedding planning, starting without a wedding planner we booked a venue that fell through and were totally in over our heads. Then my TikTok algorithm presented me with Georgia, and I'm so glad it did. After Georgia scoured three different countries (for months), we then decided to have the wedding five minutes away from our home in Scotland- she didn't show one ounce of frustration. Admittedly, we were worried this was a bit less glamorous than the venues the MO team were used to but Georgia's priority is for her clients to have the wedding that is perfect for them. Georgia was professional, kind and patient through the many, many renditions of our wedding. Not only did she save the day, in the end she planned something that felt so intimate, personal and perfect for us. Georgia worked seamlessly with all of our vendors throughout the planning process, kept us on track with what we needed to be doing and was there to lend an ear if we ever felt overwhelmed. On the weekend of the wedding Georgia and her team (Bertie and Danny) were everywhere at once, they ensured the whole weekend ran exactly to plan. They worked tirelessly, but with smiling faces, they didn't show it. They are all brilliant and there wasn't a single guest who didn't mention how fantastic they were. The ability to plan an event down to such fine detail and yet maintain a sense of complete calm is a skill that should not be undervalued. The whole Matthew Oliver team are total professionals and we will be recommending them to all of our friends looking for planners in the future. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

We cannot love the Matthew Oliver team more!!! The strength of the Matthew Oliver team is their relationships, which when it comes to weddings, is one of the most important qualities for a wedding planner. Because of their close ties with everyone in the industry, we were able to pull off an incredible destination wedding with ease and in budget. They were extremely resourceful when it came to all of our wild requests— they found a way each time to execute our vision. Lastly, what you find is that you spend most of your time with your wedding planners and vendors during the wedding and planning process. You definitely want to like these people during such an important moment. We are lucky to still call Matthew, Bertie and team our friends and they will definitely be in our lives forever!

Absolutely thrilled to share my experience working with the Matthew Oliver Wedding Planning team, especially Georgia. As a bridal makeup artist, I often find that wedding suppliers can sometimes feel like afterthoughts. But working with Georgia was a whole different experience—she was a true partner every step of the way! From the start of Olivia’s wedding planning journey, Georgia was not only organised and professional but genuinely caring and thoughtful. She made sure that on the wedding day itself, I had everything I needed to do my best work, checking in on me and even making sure I was hydrated and had something to eat. It may sound simple, but these thoughtful gestures mean the world, especially on busy wedding mornings! What really set Georgia apart was her support even after the wedding day had come and gone. She took the time to follow up and share all the beautiful photographs, allowing me to have those memories for my portfolio, which was such a generous touch. It’s rare to find someone who understands the importance of these details, and Georgia does so with such warmth and authenticity. As a supplier, I can’t recommend the Matthew Oliver team enough. Their commitment to creating not just beautiful weddings but a truly supportive environment for every vendor involved is outstanding. Thank you, Georgia, for making my experience so memorable—you are an absolute gem! Lot's of Love, Brooke Lilias Make Up

Our wedding was an absolute dream come true!! I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work the Matthew Oliver Weddings team did to bring our vision to life. Matthew and Bertie were our main planners, but their entire team, including Danny and Andrea, was an absolute dream to work with. While you expect luxury wedding planners like Matthew Oliver Weddings to be professional, detail-oriented, creative, and excellent problem-solvers, what truly stood out was how much joy and warmth they brought to the process. Planning a cross-continent, multicultural 4 day destination wedding in under six months could easily have been stressful, but they made it a fun and manageable project. I genuinely looked forward to our regular Zoom meetings. On the day of the wedding, the weather was less than ideal, but Matthew, Bertie, and their team jumped into action, seamlessly executing solutions. Above all, they took the time and care to ensure I was feeling calm and reassured, which speaks volumes about their empathy and dedication. Their ability to create an atmosphere of joy and calmness went beyond anything I ever expected. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how wonderful Matthew, Bertie, Danny, and Andrea were throughout the entire wedding weekend. They provided a truly memorable experience for everyone. A huge thank you to Matthew, Bertie, Danny and the team for going above and beyond. We highly recommend Matthew Oliver Weddings to anyone looking for a truly exceptional wedding planning experience! And I'd be happy to speak with anyone who has questions about the client experience.
