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.

We are beyond grateful to Melanie for the incredible work and dedication she put into planning our wedding at Came House earlier this year. From our introductory call until our wedding, Melanie went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly on the day. Melanie’s attention to detail is unmatched. To give one of many examples: without request from us, Melanie remembered my sensitivity to mosquito bites from an earlier conversation and arranged mosquito plugs to be placed in the bridal suite. This small but incredibly thoughtful touch meant so much. It’s this thoughtfulness and pre-empting of potential issues that really sets Melanie apart. Melanie always responded promptly to our questions/emails, often late at night or over weekends. She was incredibly patient and always put us at ease. We feel very lucky to have had Melanie and the Came House team for our wedding. Thanks to their hard work and care, we were able to enjoy the day without stressing about the details. Thank you, Melanie, for being such an irreplaceable part of our wedding! We can’t recommend you highly enough.

My husband and I were privileged to work with Danielle at Bellissimo for our wedding last year. It was an honour to have Danielle supporting us in the run up to, and on the day of our wedding. We cannot put into works our gratitude for all that Danielle and Bellissimo Weddings did to make sure our day was full of magic from beginning to end. We had countless guests comment on how the whole event was timed and executed with finesse, professionalism, and to perfection. Danielle’s diligence and attention to detail meant that we truly were able to leave even the most important details in Danielle’s trusted hands. Thank you so much for doing such an incredible job. Any couple will be incredibly lucky to have Bellissimo Weddings as their wedding planners for their big day.

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

As soon as me and my now husband saw Parley Manor we knew it was our perfect wedding venue. The day went perfectly, we didn’t have to worry about anything as all the staff made sure we felt at ease throughout the day. The gardens full of flowers were so pretty and the new ceremony marquee was stunning. The Manor House was beautiful and it meant us and our family could stay there the night of our wedding which made it even more special. I also stayed in the Wagon the night before with my bridesmaids which was lovely. We want to say a big thank you to David who was the front of house. He was always around to make sure us and ours guests were happy and had everything we needed. I would recommend Parley Manor to everyone, not only is it beautiful but how organised everything is made the day flow perfectly. Thank you to the team at Parley Manor for the best day ever, one we will never forget!

We were introduced to Parley Manor by attending our god daughter’s wedding. The house and gardens are lovely. Food was tasty and plentiful. For me there were two things that let it down. 1 The proximity to the airport meaning planes were really loud when landing but especially when taking off. This meant we missed some of the vows when a plane took off. 2 Staying in the main house was lovely but the room we were in, Tissy’s Room in the attic was so hot and staff could not be found to ask for a fan or similar to cool the room down. The shared bathroom was a lovely space but after one shower it was like a steam room with no ventilation as the door was a fire door we could not prop it open. The floor was also really squeaky and I worried about waking the children in the room below us.

My husband and I were married at Parley Manor at the end of August over the Bournemouth airshow weekend. We couldn't have had a more perfect day. We first viewed Parley Manor in early 2023 and fell in love with the venue straight away. The gardens are stunning, and as we knew we wanted a summer wedding, this was important to us. It was clear to see so much time and thought goes into the grounds. We went to the open day they held in the spring, which confirmed our choice (especially after trying the pizza straight from their outdoor pizza oven!). Viktorija was fantastic from start to finish; she was extremely patient with us, lovely to deal with, and knowledgeable, and our parents and wedding party thought she was so funny and brought a great energy that kept us all calm in the lead up to our day. Another person who made our day what it was, was David Hopkins, who we hired as our Master of Ceremonies. David, like Viktorija, was worth his weight in gold. We had a call with him in the lead up to the wedding, where he eased any nerves we had and took on the responsibility of the smooth running of the day. He made sure we were where we needed to be, and that we were fed and hydrated throughout the day as it's so easy to get caught up in the excitement! We thought he was fantastic and our guests commented on how great he had been throughout the day too. I stayed in the accommodation the night before which was lovely and had the breakfast box in the morning which was delicious and kept energy levels up. We had the bbq buffet for our wedding breakfast from Merlins and everything was delicious. Guests commented how good everything was and loved having different options available to them. There was something for everyone. The desserts were great too. The pizza as the evening food is an absolute must! It was so good. Ultimately, our day ran extremely smoothly. If anything went wrong, we had absolutely no idea. Viktorija, David and the whole team were seasoned professionals. We wish we could relive the whole day again and again! We'd also recommend getting married over the airshow weekend, it was so fun and brought so much entertainment to all the adults and kids. The whole team, from start to finish, were fantastic, it's left us with memories that will last a lifetime and we couldn't be more grateful. Thank you so much Parley Manor team for the best day.

We had our wedding at Parley Manor on the 22.06.24 and can honestly say we had the most perfect wedding experience. The staff at Parley are polished professionals who guide you through your day and ensure you receive nothing but your fairytale wedding. A special mention to Zara who really is a shining star, we’ve received compliment on compliment over how fantastic she was through out the morning. So thank you so much Zara for working so hard for us. It’s so greatly appreciated! Thank you so much to all the Parley Team X

We were delighted to have One Thousand Words as our wedding photographers for our wedding at Parley Manor in June! The photos that Tom and Murray captured for us are totally brilliant. They did such a great job of getting the perfect mixture of posed photos alongside more natural moments. Some of the shots are so gorgeous they take our breath away! They were so helpful on the day - at one point even trying to track down our missing sparklers for us! We couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out, they perfectly captured how our day felt and made everyone look fantastic. Thanks Tom and Murray! Lissa and Kieran

Tom & Murray were absolutely fantastic! From the initial consultation to get our quote, Tom instantly reassured me that we were going to adore their style and service, as his friendly nature shone through. Nothing was too much trouble at any point. We had an amazing engagement shoot where Tom calmed our nerves and really helped us be comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, they were a blessing. Ready to jump right in with ties and button holes or making breakfast, they really kept the day together and running smoothly!! Each and every one of our guests were full of praise for them and adored their laid back photography style that wasn't invasive. Not only do we adore their photos of us (sneak peak has got us so excited for the next instalment!!!), their personalities are also a massive reason why they should be your choice of photographer. We will be singing their praises and recommending them forever more!

Rating: 5 / 5

I cannot emphasise enough how fantastic Tom and Murray were in capturing our wedding day. From the first day we met them through to completion of our wedding album, we were so chuffed with everything they did for us. We booked them before covid and our wedding was sadly postponed several times due to the pandemic, but they were so accommodating and helpful throughout. It was so important to us to have photographers that made us feel comfortable as they would be with us for almost the entire day and they did just that. Two genuinely lovely gents that felt like friends by the end. Having two photographers made such a difference as we were able to capture the most memorable shots from several angles without even knowing where they were half the time! And it meant that both bride and groom got some great shots during the morning prep. I would highly recommend you book one thousand words photography for your wedding. We will always be grateful for their ability to capture the classic shots whilst throwing in a bit of humour along the way.

Murray and Tom are amazing! We absolutely loved getting to know them and having them as part of our wedding day. They were professional and friendly and felt more like guests by the end of the day! We also had an engagement shoot with them, which was really wonderful and helped us to feel at ease. We really love the photographs, they capture the day perfectly and were just as we had wanted - casual and relaxed, really capturing the mood of the day! The presentation box and mini album that we received were a really lovely touch. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone, they are really really lovely guys, and a real laugh, they put us at ease from the start and we are usually quite camera shy! Thank you Tom and Murray!

Fantastic night celebrating Leigh’s 50th in Swanage, 80’s style. Wheelbarrow Disco absolutely brilliant. Banging tunes - everyone agrees it was a great party with the best DJ. Highly recommended 🥳

Rating: 5 / 5

Lee came to do our joint party with both his Wheelbarrow set up for outside and the cocktail bar for inside. Both were fantastic and worked brilliantly in the setting. Lee's DJing was perfect, reading the crowd and giving everyone a brilliant time. It was also very easy and straightforward dealing with Lee who was always happy to answer and questions or come up with ideas to make the event better. 100% recommended and would definitely use again.

Rating: 5 / 5

Lee is a star! He did both an outdoor set (battery-powered from his ecotainment wheelbarrow decks) and an indoor set with full disco power! Great fun for everyone (we had a big range of ages) and he was a really positive force all through our event. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Rating: 5 / 5

Lee was amazing? Really enjoyed the retro eco vibe, the few of us left at the end had a blast dancing till we dropped. Thanks so much lee. My wife said she had best birthday ever and your unique style played a big part of that, would thoroughly recommend.

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)

Rosie Barrett is incredible. We used her consult & co-ordinate service for our wedding in September 2023 and I can’t imagine getting through it without her! If you are even mildly contemplating getting a wedding planner, then look no further than Rosie. Not only is she apt at understanding her clients’ unique vision; she will think of essential details you may have never considered; co-ordinate your suppliers seamlessly; and go above and beyond to ensure your day is perfect.

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

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 ❤️

Harrison was incredibly efficient in the lead up to agreeing arrangements for our daughter’s wedding and the team were equally professional on the day. The bar became the centre of the post-dinner party with excellent cocktails and magnificent service. Strongly recommend.

Rating: 5 / 5

We used Cartails to provide bar service at our wedding recently. After initial conversations with Harrison, Josh took over the planning of the event and both were brilliant to work with. They clearly had a wealth of experience planning the events, and were able to offer excellent advice and ideas without us ever feeling like we were being upsold. They provided everything we asked for, going to particularly effort to make sure we could have a slushy machine serving Froze. They went above and beyond in making sure the drinks offering was exactly what we were looking for. On the day, they constructed the circular bar quickly and efficiently, and this looked fantastic in the middle of the marquee. Drinks service throughout the whole day went perfectly, with Harrison and his team managing both the main circular bar and outside horsebox bar brilliantly. The Froze was a real hit and the after dinner cocktails went down very well too. The site was left spotless at the end of the night. We would happily recommend Cartails to anyone planning their own wedding, and would love to work with them again should we have any other large events.

Rating: 5 / 5

We had a wonderful experience with Harrison and the whole Cartails team over our two day wedding celebration. Harrison was extremely professional and helpful throughout the planning process and across the weekend. The service throughout our wedding was so slick and we were so pleased with the cocktails! We’d highly recommend the team if you’re planning an event - big or small.

Rating: 5 / 5

Can't rate these guys highly enough. They did the bar for our daughter's Rodeo theme birthday party. They were very professional, polite and courteous. Nothing was too much trouble. Discussions about the theme of party, how many people, how many drinkers (!). Helpful recommendations regarding types of drinks and quantities. We had Prosecco, cocktails, beer, wine and soft drinks. If fact we so liked some of their choices we went online afterwards to source more! Left their working area very tidy. If you are looking for a bar for an event, get these guys!

Great time having a tour of the vineyard, just a couple of weeks before harvest. The wine tasting wasn't too bad either. Great hosts.

Rating: 5 / 5

We were gifted a tour of this wonderful vineyard by some friends and what a lovely experience it was. Andrew and Sarah who own and run the business personally delivered the tour, and their passion and expertise came across from the outset. The environment is relaxed and the setting is beautiful. The tour ended with a generous wine tasting session and we were blown away by the quality of the wine. It is exceptional, easily better than the vast majority of Champagne you’ll ever have. So much so we treated ourselves to 6 bottles of different varieties to enjoy at home. I can highly recommend both the tour and the wine, simply exceptional.

We visited on Saturday 28th for my birthday and it was such a lovely way to spend a couple of hours appreciating some fine English sparkling wines. Andrew and Sarah are such fantastic hosts -Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 / 5

We held our wedding recently in August at the Vineyard, and it was honestly idyllic. Andrew & Sarah were so warm and welcoming, and Danielle the venue manager and planner extraordinaire was truly so wonderful and ensured everything came together perfectly on the day. We couldn’t have picked somewhere more beautiful, and couldn’t recommend the vineyard more to other couples looking to tie the knot there in the future.

Five because mum, Worked there as a waitress,weddings. In the seventies. Not the hotel. But the ramshackle disused church down a hidden away path.. Supposedly pirates. Are buried outside the sacred churchyard. Chesil being renowned for wrecking of ships. I know doubt there were pirates of some sort. If a barrel of rum turned up on your doorstep what would you do. Just recently a large container ship broke it's back. And brand new BMW motorbikes mysteriously disappeared in the thick of the night..? Free parking that's a novelty and worth taking up.

This was a business stay, and we had 5 nights here. I was in Half Moon and it was wonderful. Clean and immaculate, towels were fluffy, and toiletries were in full order. They even have bedroom slippers and bathrobe. We failed to use every single room in the property just because we had beautiful sunshine most of the days we're there. Everywhere is picturesque and not to mention the little walks to the beach below was great fun as well. Pool was amazing, warm and beautiful with marble pool floor. Kitchen had the best tools to whip up a good meal and the dining room is so instagramable.

I had the pleasure to film a wedding, the venue is so beautiful, so many great spots and so well mantained, staff was brilliant, very well organised, everything as planned. I'm really looking forward to filming here again.

Rating: 5 / 5

I had the great pleasure of photographing a wedding here recently. The venue itself is simply stunning with everything being well maintained. The staff are really professional and they went above and beyond to look after me. I must make a special mention of the Wedding Planner on the day Tessa, who couldn't have been more helpful. I highly recommend Pennsylvania Castle Estate as a wedding venue.

Gorwell Farm was where we chose to have our wedding this summer, and we could not have chosen a more perfect location for our special day. The cottages are spacious and comfortable for the morning-of preparation, and the barn and surrounding grounds are just idyllic. It really was the perfect space for our wedding. Mary and the team were great in the run-up to the wedding and on the day. It meant we didn't have anything to worry about. Also a shout out to the bar staff who were absolutely fantastic!

Rating: 5 / 5

Gorwell Farm hosted our wedding (and accommodation) and was excellent from beginning to end. It’s. A beautiful, rustic venue but has been fully modernised and updated with all conveniences for a wedding whilst still retaining the rustic feel. All queries were addressed quickly and we couldn’t imagine it being any better.

Rating: 5 / 5

We chose Gorwell for our wedding in July 2024, booking two years prior. Mary and the Team are fantastic, you can really tell that they want your big day to be a success. Mary was full of recommendations for vendors, which was amazing as it can definitely feel overwhelming. Throughout the communication was fantastic and there was no such thing as a silly question. The Farm and the cottages were fantastic and being able to get married outside under the trees was incredible. Thank you so much Mary & Family! (photos by Charlotte Stoneham Photography)

Went to a wedding reception here. Wow what a beautiful place Hiden out of the way. Really lovely venue. Drinks were very well priced at the bar. Amazing settings for an all in one wedding day. Camping facilities available but didn't use these.
