Winterborne were absolutely brilliant and so helpful throughout our wedding journey. They decorated our ladders with faux plants, and the results were stunning—the photos speak for themselves. We received so many compliments, and you honestly couldn’t tell the plants were artificial. In the lead-up, the team was incredibly supportive. They ensured everything was set up quickly, allowing us to move on with the rest of the decorations without feeling rushed. They even offered additional staff to help with other decorative elements, which was such a kind gesture. We just can’t recommend Winterborne enough!

We hired Winterborne Hire & Styling for our wedding in July and honestly it was the easiest, best decision we made for our big day! Dawn was so helpful and understood our vision the entire process. She really listened and ordered in pieces we needed to really bring our colour scheme and vision to light. I can’t recommend them enough!

We used Winterborne Hire & Styling for our wedding at Abbots Court and couldn’t have been happier with the service provided! From the first visit to the styling barn with Dawn right up until the wedding day itself and after the event, Dawn was on hand to help with any questions we had. We opted to set the venue decorations up ourselves the day prior to the wedding and this was made so easy as the beautiful arches were set up for us and the rest of the items we ordered came in extremely organised boxes which saved a lot of time. We were so pleased with how Dawn helped our vision come to life and thoroughly recommend Winterborne to anybody looking for a styling service. Thank you so much for making our wedding so beautiful! Gabby and Marcus x

Absolutely fantastic job from Winterborne Hire & Styling! We rented some beautiful table decorations and flower pillars that complimented our wedding venue perfectly.They have a great range of items in their showroom and Dawn was so helpful and patient in taking through what items to choose. They are very professional and coordinated directly with the venue and had a delivery option making it seamless and efficient (one less thing for me to worry about!). Highly recommend :)

We recently booked the orangery suite for our daughters first birthday and it was a beautiful day in a stunning venue! Accommodated a large number of people as well as ticking all the boxes for amenities. A very big thank you to Louise, Becky and Scott who went above and beyond for us and our guests and really made the day one of a kind, special and memorable! Highly recommended!

We first found The Orangery Suite within the few days after we got engaged in Mauritius. We emailed Becky whilst we were still abroad and viewed the venue the week after we got back to the UK and the venue looked amazing, even in the British rain! We looked at one other venue, just to say we had compared it to another place, but we knew instantly that it was the perfect venue for us. We are active people and can get bored easily, so all of the games and activities really appealed to us, along with the beautiful grounds! Becky, Scott and Louise have done the best job since taking over the venue and have really refreshed the look, including refurbishing inside the orangery suite and the outside bathrooms. Everything looked great on the day and it ran so smoothly, thanks to all of their efforts! Nothing was too much trouble for them and they helped answer and resolve any questions I had. All of our guests have commented on how perfect the venue was and what a good find it was. They all enjoyed playing all of the games, especially the mini golf, badminton, table football and basketball net! They were also so welcoming of our 2 dogs, Ted and Alfie, who also really enjoyed the day being ring bearers. There were no restrictions on how long they could stay or where they could go and it was so nice to know they were just as welcome as all of the humans! It really was the best day ever and we are so grateful to The Orangery Suite!

What a find!!! We couldn't be happier with our choice of wedding venue, it's so beautiful, private and fun! Louise, Becky and Scott - you were all absolutely fantastic, we can't thank you enough, you really are the best! We weren't the only ones that loved the day many friends and family did too, and commented what a lovely venue it was. You even made the sun shine for us ;) Thank you for making our big day even more special and so comfortable, helping keep the nerves at bay. We'll never forget it xx

Deborah and the team made planning our wedding in Portugal seamless. Everything was very well organised from the choices of vendors and recommended timings of their booking to the payment schedule and I didn’t feel stressed once during the process. Deborah was always available to answer questions even during evenings and weekends which was very much appreciated! Our day couldn’t have been any better, Carla made sure everything ran perfectly smoothly and lots of our guests commented on this. Overall, I would highly recommend West Country Wedding Planners to anyone as they made my planning experience easy and enjoyable, so thank you!

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

An unforgettable life experience that would not have been made possible without the help of Gemma from west country wedding planners. We can’t thank you enough for the support on the build up and throughout the day! Highly recommend their services.

Katie was absolutely fantastic from start to finish with helping us plan and pull off our wedding day. She was always there if we had any questions or needed any advice during the planning stages. The styling on the actual day itself was amazing. Flowers and decorations were stunning and Katie always found clever ways to move and re-use the flowers etc to enhance every stage of the day without being wasteful! Having her coordinating on the day was so helpful, it meant we didn't have to worry about everything else going on and we could focus on getting ready and getting married! She went above and beyond where she could and we are so grateful that she was a part of the day. I would highly recommend anyone looking for event planning or styling to book Katie.

Katie was everything we could have wanted - from decor to logistics - she helped make our wedding day look as special as it felt! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for the day. We would strongly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a warm, enthusiastic and supportive pair of hands at an especially stressful time. Our wedding was complex British-Indian fusion, with events in multiple spaces spanning a whole weekend. Katie completely understood our vision and helped us bring it alive. She was so open, collaborative and creative through the entire planning process and on the weekend itself. Excellent experience! Thank you, Katie!

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.

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

Danielle was the venue manager and planner extraordinaire for our wedding at the English Oak Vineyard this summer, she did such a wonderful job at ensuring everything was well coordinated and thought through, gave great advice and honestly went above and beyond to make sure that our day went perfectly. I couldn’t recommend Bellissimo more highly, and a huge thank you to Danielle for making our wedding so magical. The biggest heartfelt thank you from us ❤️

Melanie went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly special. In fact our wedding weekend exceeded our expectations and was just perfect. She managed all the weekend planning and logistics as well as dealing with all the suppliers with ease. Melanie shares a clear passion for ensuring all her couples have the best wedding celebration, she cares over every detail and will go above and beyond to achieve perfection for you. We'll cherish the memory of our wedding weekend forever, and can't thank her enough for that.

I honestly can't find the words to explain how grateful I am to Melanie & Dani for their help, expertise, guidance and support for our big day. These guys are incredible... the work they put in to your wedding makes you feel like you're the first and only wedding they're organising. The tips, guidance and support all the way through, incredible communication, expert planning and pristine execution; all from the first visit to the wedding day. Melanie became such a big part of our experience and all my family and friends commented on how incredible she was. She understood our vision and did whatever she could to make it perfect for us. You will be in expertly safe hands with these guys as your planners. Thank you for everything

We worked with Melanie for our wedding at Came House last year, and can honestly say she is one fantastic woman and the best wedding planner we could have hoped for. She is so experienced and organised, gave great advice throughout whilst listening to all our ideas. Her knowledge of the area and suppliers (as well as all her hard work) really helped to bring our vision to life. This was no easy feat as we had quite a few parts to fit into the weekend, but Melanie made it work! We had the most incredible weekend of our lives and we couldn’t have done it without Melanie, Bellissimo and the team at Came House.

I worked alongside Rosie at a gorgeous wedding in September 2018, and it was styled to perfection - An absolute dream to photograph, and the day went without a hitch! I highly recommend getting in touch with Rosie for any design, stying or help with planning your wedding day ❤️

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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)

A beaming bride reviewing..... I cannot begin to thank Caroline and Michael enough for letting myself and Rufus have our wedding day at Shillingstone House, not only was the day itself so magical and joyous in their beautiful grounds, but the lead up to the day was fantastic. Caroline was extremely helpful and really took the time to understand what we wanted for the day and liaised with suppliers beforehand to help the day run smoothly. It's amazing that you can hire the grounds Friday -Sunday, it made decorating a really relaxing and enjoyable task as we had the whole day Friday to set up the site. I really loved Caroline's blog on her website as it was a great way to draw inspiration and again, I could see all the love and care she put into people's weddings days. Shillingstone House definitely doesn't feel like a wedding venue where you are on a conveyor belt and just a number- the whole day felt so personal. We are so so grateful that we got to have our wedding at Shillingstone House, our guests loved the beautiful fields and sensational flowers, there really was beauty everywhere you turned! We hope to come back for an anniversary at some point as we miss it already! Thank you again Caroline and Michael, Warmest regards, Hannah and Rufus

The place is super cozy, with stunning, picturesque views. I went there with my art group for a plein air painting session and absolutely loved it. The serene surroundings and well-kept beautiful garden make it a perfect spot for relaxing and getting inspired. Highly recommended!

We had my nieces tipi wedding at this stunning setting. Lord and lady Caroline made us feel so welcome. They seamlessly helped with the little bits behind the scenes to make a very perfect wedding weekend. Having already done a tipi wedding five years previously. I can only support and endorse what a great place for a wedding with such super hosts Lord and Lady Michael and Caroline Salt.

What a pleasure it was to perform a Handfasting at the weekend in the utterly stunning setting of the grounds of Shillingstone House... one of the most beautiful venues I've seen yet - flawlessly styled and spotlessly clean, with breath taking countryside views and wonderful hosts. Can't recommend highly enough xx

As soon as we viewed the Mill for our wedding venue, we booked it straight away. We had so many comments of how stunning the venue was and the staff were all fantastic throughout our wedding planning. On the day everything ran so smoothly and they accommodated to all of our needs. We can't thank you all enough for the most perfect wedding day! 100% recommend to anyone thinking of getting married here! You will not be disappointed!

Thank you Sopley for the best day of our lives. Your venue is just stunning and Kelly was amazing from start to finish helping it all run smoothly including holding scarves up to windows to help block the view of the bride from the people outside! Thank you so much for everything you did for us. The venue is just stunning and they have thought of everything but also kept it empty enough for you to fill with your own dreams. Amazing.

We had Sopley Mill as our wedding venue and it was truly lovely. Both the inside and outside of the venue have fantastic views and is just beautiful to look around. Plenty of guests commented on how amazing the mill is and I am so glad we had our wedding here. The staff at Sopley Mill are incredibly supportive and helped ensure everything that was organised for the day went smoothly, I cannot say thanks enough to them. They have done an outstanding job for us, I could not be happier! I have included a few photos from the day. Once again I'd like to say how lovely it all was and how happy we are. Sopley Mill is amazing.

Sopley Mill is an absolutely stunning venue with a passionate team who really take care of their couples and their recommended suppliers! Working with Kelly and the team at the start of the year was a real highlight, allowing one of my couples to enjoy an extra special moment dancing together at The Mill. I’m so excited to see more couples experience the love and warmth Sopley brings to their wedding day! Maisie, MRC DANCE

The entire team at The Italian Villa made our dream wedding come to life. We had quite a complicated brief for the wedding breakfast and were worried that it would prove impossible. But chef Tom created a menu beyond our wildest dreams. The food was delicious and everybody was catered for. The food is still talked about now. Any queries we had were quickly and efficiently answered by Shannon and the team. With Bianca at the helm our wedding ran smoothly and we simply could not have asked for more. Thank you!

The entire team at the Italian villa were absolutely faultless. From the moment we viewed the Villa we knew it was the perfect venue for our wedding. We used the Medici suite for our ceremony with drinks reception outside. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained allowing for some stunning photos. Our wedding co-ordinator, Shannon was incredibly friendly, helpful and made planning our wedding so much easier. Nothing is too much trouble for the team. From setting up our decorations, accommodating various dietary requirements, and making the day run smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for more. On our wedding day, everything ran like clockwork. We were able to relax and enjoy our day, knowing that Bianca was on hand and working behind the scenes so the day ran on time. We enjoyed a wonderful evening tasting our menu before the big day. The food is delicious. All our guests complimented the incredible food and drinks. The hospitality staff are all so friendly and professional. I would highly recommend the Italian Villa for your wedding venue. It is truly a wonderful location with a great team on hand to make your day perfect. To Shannon, Bianca and the entire team at the Italian Villa, Thank you all so much for your hard work before and on our wedding day. We had the most incredible day which would not have been possible without you all.

I could not recommend the Italian Villa and all of their staff enough. Thanks to them we had the most incredible wedding day in August, it was everything we could have ever dreamed of and more. The attention to detail was unmatched and nothing was too much trouble, they helped bring my vision to life and I cannot thank them enough. The food and drinks were amazing, every single guest could not fault it and said it was some of the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. I will forever be grateful to them for making our day so special and for being there for us every step of the way both through the planning process and on the day.

My husband and I had the most incredible wedding at The Italian Villa in July. The entire team were fantastic and there was excellent communication from booking, throughout planning and to after the day! Every little detail was taken care of and our vision brought to life exactly as we hoped. Bianca is an absolute credit to the team - she had handled any last minute thing we thought of before we even asked, and the day ran SO smoothly without any issues thanks to her. All our guests complimented the food, and many said it’s the best wedding food they’ve ever had - it was incredible! We loved that each part of the day took place in a different part of the villa, too, and each room is neutral and very timeless and don’t need lots of decoration added at all. The gardens make for stunning photos! Thank you to the whole team for being so brilliant - we truly had the best day!
