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.

We used Cartails for our wedding in July. They were absolutely great, perfect from start to finish. We had lots of zoom meetings before the wedding making sure everything was exactly as we wanted, and Josh was always on hand to answer questions and change things around to make them perfect. The team were fab on the day - the guests all said how lovely the bar staff were, and the cocktails were DELICIOUS! Couldn't recommend them more.

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.

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!

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 :)

Winterborne Hire and Styling were incredible at making our day extra special. I visited their lovely show room a few months prior to our wedding. After discussing what we needed, they produced some spectacular arrangements to suit the theme for our wedding and to match our fresh flowers. They delivered them on time and installed them ready for the big day, so we did not need to lift a finger. We are so glad we went with them as the arrangements really elevated our ceremony area. Thank you!

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 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!

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

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!

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)

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.

Amazing communication, super price and really listened to the brief. Created a mock up to help us make final decision. Dropped off the arch and collected it with ease. Just such a lovely person to work with.

Lovely Nicky supplied our chair covers for our wedding day and they worked perfectly with our theme. Nicky was very accommodating and flexible to my ever-changing requests and I'm so pleased we found her. I'd highly recommend her for all your wedding hire needs.

Rating: 5 / 5

Nicky was so helpful! I had a vague idea about what I wanted, and she sent me a ton of ideas from her warehouse (even more than what's listed on the website). The prices are super affordable and her customer service is top notch! I'd highly recommend!

Nicky was amazing, responded to any questions very promptly, the arch and the barrels were brilliant and really set the tone to the wedding. Drop off and collection all was brilliant too, highly recommended

Just finished up the Events Crowd online Events course, and I've got to say, it's been an absolute game-changer. While balancing a full-time gig in recruitment, I dove deep into the ins and outs of the events industry. The course structure is spot-on, with modules building up in a way that clicks. From start to finish, the seasoned event professionals, serving as instructors, shared their industry wisdom and expertise, which offers a valuable insight. Plus, all the sessions are in video format, which made life way easier for me as a dyslexic learner. The virtual classroom vibe was solid. The instructors brought a dynamic and engaging teaching style, fostering a cool relaxed community vibe within the sessions. The platform was user-friendly, and the Event Crowd team had my back and have offered me such solid support throughout. A major win for me is the flexibility that the course has offered me. Balancing work and learning isn't a walk in the park, but this course made it manageable whilst working a full-time job. Whether you're eyeing a career in events or just itching for a change, Events Crowd is the real deal. It's like having an industry insider guide – highly recommend it! 🚀

I have just completed the first two modules of the events management diploma and I have to say that so far I am really enjoying it. The lessons are clear and easy to follow, the production level is really high and the calibre of people that have agreed to help teach different aspects of the module is extremely high. I have connected with a few people on LinkedIn and they have been super friendly and supportive. I am really looking forward to finishing the course and seeing what I can do with the knowledge gained! Thank you!

Rating: 5 / 5

I would recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in the events industry. I am incredibly impressed with the teaching and content provided. The content is engaging yet in depth and structured in an organised way that is simple to understand. The teaching is from specialists that have experience working in industry who provide examples and put the teaching into real life scenarios. You can study around your own schedule and when suits you. If you are hesitant about enrolling, I would highly recommend!

Rating: 5 / 5

As a student enrolled on this course, I have been really impressed by the quality of content on this course. I've come from a completely different background of Graphic Design, so Event Management is a new field for me. With this course, I've become confident in the field very quickly and it's on-going. It really is a fast-track to the Events Industry!

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.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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 ❤️

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

Lee and the team ensured we had the best day ever! The guys made it so special for us both, and nailed it all so that our wedding day was perfect!!

The Guilty Pleasures were just BRILLIANT! They played at our wedding last month and exceeded all our expectations. Catering for everyone, the dance floor was full from start to finish with a range of songs creating an unforgettable atmosphere! Lee was also a pleasure to deal with and very accomodating throughout - we would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Rating: 5 / 5

The band Guilty Pleasures played at our wedding in July and absolutely smashed the night! From their very first number they had everyone up and dancing and as their name might suggest, they play an eclectic set that gets people dancing! When planning a wedding communication is key and Lee and the team were fantastic in terms of explaining how they work, what they need and how we could help. They really made our big day a party and we received so many comments from guests about how good the band were - Would highly recommend them to anyone!

Rating: 5 / 5

Lee has been amazing - provided last minute replacements for our wedding DJ and pianist, both of whom were brilliant. Really friendly but also highly professional - would recommend!

Came House is surrounded by beautiful Dorset countryside, and just by itself is an incredible venue to get married at. However the team that works there make it truly special - your wedding day and the weeks / months leading up to it can be stressful, but Melanie and the Came team helped make everything so easy and stress-free for us, which allowed us to just enjoy the day, safe in the knowledge that everything was taken care of. From planning the BBQ for our friends and family on the Friday night, recommending caterers, DJ’s and wine suppliers, to the day itself (with all of our requests and last minute curveballs!) they worked tirelessly to ensure that our wedding weekend ran smoothly and to give us the perfect day. We have had so many people say how beautiful the venue looked, and how well organised everything was… We got very lucky with the weather, and even luckier that we picked Came for our special day 😊 Thank you again so much for everything!

My Husband & I recently held our Wedding at Came House and it was perfect! The house and grounds are just beautiful and the venue really is a hidden gem! Having use of the house from Friday- Sunday extended the celebrations for us and meant we could all get ready on site in the morning. The staff at Came were all extremely helpful and hardworking and there’s a lot of work done behind the scenes to make the Wedding day run smoothly. The marquee was beautifully set up for us and a good size for the Wedding Breakfast and Reception. The grounds are stunning and provide a number of different backdrops for your wedding photos. The orangery where we had our ceremony is also a wonderful setting for that part of the day and for photos. We couldn’t fault any part of our weekend at Came House and would highly recommend it!

We feel very fortunate to have celebrated our wedding at Came House earlier this year. From the moment we arrived, Rags, George, and their family made us feel at home for the weekend. The wider Came House team — Melanie, Danielle, Ju, and Skinner — was an incredible support. They coordinated everything seamlessly so we could focus on enjoying time with family and friends. The venue itself is spectacular and has several areas you can use for each part of the weekend. We held our rehearsal dinner in the dining room. The next day, we used the light-filled orangery for our ceremony, held our drinks reception in the beautiful gardens and then moved to the marquee for our wedding reception. It was great that we were able to do everything in one location and avoided having to arrange transport between venues for guests. Having our closest family and friends stay on-site also allowed us to extend the celebrations across the entire weekend. We can’t recommend Came House highly enough. It’s the perfect combination of a stunning venue with a brilliant team that goes above and beyond to give you the best possible wedding experience. We had so much fun and feel very grateful to the entire team!

I'm a wedding photographer. Whilst I've shot weddings at Came House it has been as the second photographer each time so I don't have bridal images to share of the venue. Instead I'll share a few room-layout images to give a flavour of it. These are all from one wedding later on in October a couple of years ago. Came House is a beautiful venue with plenty of space for guests either outside or inside. There's a beautiful garden to explore and lots of spots for those gorgeous shots of the two of you as a couple. Definitely one I enjoy working at.

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!!!

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

They truly made our wedding unforgettable!

Truly magical is the only words I can use to describe our wedding decor. I had a vision in mind and put all my trust in "a touch of class". I actually changed venues just so I could use them and I'm so glad I did. From the first message right until the day communication was prompt and informative and the day itself just blew us away ! Our guests commented it was tge most stunning set up they have ever seen and i totally agree. Absolutely perfect in every way !!

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!

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!!

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.
