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

We were recommended Linen & Lace by our florist and I'm so glad she did! Sam has been a dream supplier from day one and completely understood the look & feel we were going for from the moment we spoke on the phone. When it was safe to do so, we were able to visit Sam at her studio, this gave us the chance to look at all the items available and discuss what would suit our day, Sam also organized our linen and napkins which was such a great help as was one less thing we had to worry about. As our wedding was in December we were only allowed 15 guests but that did not stop Sam creating the most beautiful tablescape, she is so talented and the end creation took our breath away. We have had so much feedback from our family & friends about how beautiful the table and room were, we couldn’t agree more! Sam, we can’t thank you enough for all your support & for being so flexible during the road to us getting married last year, I'm so glad we got there in the end. Cat & Alex Witchell xx

I can’t thank Sam at Linen and Lace enough. She worked tirelessly to make our vision come to life. I had all my own decor and a plan for our wedding that was very detailed and Sam executed it perfectly. I am sure that I nearly killed her but she did it with ease, professionalism and a smile on her face, it was like working with a good friend. I am so grateful as she created this bespoke for us and I could not have asked for more. She set up, packed down and out of hundreds of glass items and a van full, it all made it back. It was expertly done. Very highly recommended. I enjoyed every moment setting up with her. Her comms are fantastic and she has an excellent eye for detail. If you want your decor to be something people will talk about, Sam is your girl. She loves whats she does and puts her heart and soul into it. A day to remember thank you so much x

Could not recommend Linen and Lace enough. Sam made our venue look even better than I imagined and her attention to detail was exquisite. We wanted a rustic feel with lots of pretty lights/candles and she made it work. She went above and beyond and even helped with the flowers! She also made it stress free for us. Everything was taken care of.

Sam decorated for our Wedding at Balmer Lawn last Saturday and she did an incredible job it was everything that I hoped for and more! We explained what we wanted and showed pictures and nothing was too much trouble and she got everything spot on. The candles, vases etc that she used were just so beautiful and exactly the style I wanted. She made use of the table decor on the window sills and registrar table during the ceremony so nowhere in the room looked empty. We had soo many compliments on the decor and how beautiful it was. I highly recommend Linen & Lace to anyone and you will certainly not be disappointed! Thank you so so much Sam, you made all of my Wedding dreams come true. Love the new Mr & Mrs Smith ❤️ x

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!

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 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)

As a fellow wedding professional, I can heartily recommend Stacey and her team to exquisitely coordinate your special day or event. I have worked on three events with Stacey, and looking forward to the next one! With Stacey, you can be assured of a real passion for your big day in expert hands!

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

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 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! ❤️

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!

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*****

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

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.

Catherine is absolutely incredible! Having booked some of Catherine's wedding shows I knew she was a wonderful lady, so kind and willing to go the extra mile to help you out. Last August I had the pleasure to work alongside her on a wedding day, and some how she managed to surprise me even more than before! She is somehow in every place you need her at the right time, constantly checking in on the couple, their guests and suppliers. And really helps make each couples day that bit more memorable. I'd work with her at every wedding is I could!

Catherine and the Love That Wedding Team have organised several wedding fayres that I have attended with my bar. They are organised, well attended, and Catherine always makes sure that absolutely everyone at her event is happy and has everything they need. I would be very confident recommending Love That Wedding to anyone looking to get married.

Sam was an absolute delight from start to finish. I knew I wanted everything at our wedding to look pretty, but had no idea how to make it look nice, fortunately Sam did! I gave her some vague ideas, and she put together exactly what I wanted somehow. She was really easy to get hold of and talk to. We adjusted some things closer to the date, and everything came together beautifully. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone!

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

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!

We had a wonderful experience marrying at this venue. We wanted a beautiful setting with exclusive use for the full weekend, the flexibility to choose our catering options and lovely accommodation on site – we got all that and more at Manor Estate. Pippa is a delight to deal with, from the minute I met her I felt relaxed but knew that she would get things done! As it’s Pippa’s own business in her family estate, she really cares and we felt confident we would be well looked after, which we were. We had hoped to have the ceremony outside and although weather didn’t cooperate on the day, Pippa remained flexible and had both indoor/outdoor bars prepped in case there was the opportunity to be outside – which was wonderful when the sun shone after the ceremony for our drinks reception! The gardens are so pretty, there are so many beautiful photo opportunities. There is a good sized list of approved caterers to choose from which meant we had the flexibility to choose what suited us, whilst knowing that the caterers have done previous weddings at our venue. There is lovely accommodation on site (two separate wings), and with exclusive use for the weekend it meant that we could really enjoy the venue with our family rather than it all being over in a day. Being able to decorate the venue the day before really took the stress out of the preparations and Pippa was on hand to help and answer any questions, as she had been since the very beginning, always responsive and helpful. Pippa also went above and beyond helping my work colleagues coordinate a present to be delivered to the venue for us. We couldn’t have hoped for more and would highly recommend this beautiful venue.

We had our wedding here on June 15 2024 after finding this beautiful venue over a year beforehand when in our initial planning stages. We were initially drawn to the venue by the picturesque grounds and beautiful interiors. After a virtual tour and a face to face visit, we fell even more in love with the place and decided to go ahead and place our deposit. Over the next year, we planned our day which, due to the natural beauty of the barn and grounds, required us to need minimal decorations - we didn't want to distract from the natural features of the barn or the lovely outside areas. Pippa was amazing throughout the whole planning stage, ensuring we were well prepared in the run up to the big day. Her personality and relaxed yet professional attitude shone through during our initial meets and really helped us to reach the decision to use the venue for our special day. Due to the unpredictable British weather, our original plan of being married outside was decided for us - the day before, we made the call to get married inside the barn due to the unwanted rain we were having. Although a little disappointed to have missed out on using the beautiful space outside for our ceremony, it was actually a blessing as our inside ceremony felt more intimate and enabled all of our guests to hear our wedding vows. We still managed to get some great photos later in the day within that beautiful space by the river having taken advantage of some intermittent sunshine. Pippa was around to help set up beforehand and on the wedding day itself, she (and her mum and partner) made the day go smoothly. The turnaround of the venue's indoor space (from ceremony, to wedding breakfast, to evening reception) was seamless and everything was set up to our requests and it looked beautiful. The wedding day itself was just perfect for us despite the on/off rain and Pippa definitely played a part in enabling our beautiful day to go so well. My family and I stayed in the South Wing the night before and night of the wedding. The accommodation was faultless and helped to create that calm atmosphere you need just before your wedding day. Who'd have thought we'd be appreciative of a log fire in June! Using the bridal suite to get ready with my bridesmaids was a real highlight. We all had so much space to do our thing with our hair and makeup artist also being able to set up with ample space, and our photographer able to navigate between us all with ease to get those all important 'getting ready' shots. Some of our guests stayed in the Courtyard the night of the wedding and passed on their comments as to how clean and comfortable the accommodation was. All in all, I would urge anyone to consider the Manor Estate for their wedding venue as not only is it breathtakingly gorgeous, but the help with planning and the support throughout the whole day was impeccable. Pippa really helped to completely eliminate any wedding-stress which allowed for all of us to enjoy such an amazing day together. Pippa - thank you so much for having us for our wedding day. You've helped to create memories that we will all treasure for the rest of our lives together. Thank you also to your mum for helping the bridal party to arrive to the ceremony without getting soaked! Also, thank you to Mr Pippa for his help throughout the day. It was all just faultless and perfect. P.S. Give our love to May - we hope she is doing well. Baaaaaaa.

Absolutely beautiful venue and Pippa was amazing at attending to us and friends/family. The accommodation was incredible and so comfortable we loved every minute of our day and the night before. We couldn’t have wished for a better venue and are extremely pleased we chose The Manor Estate 😍.

Where to begin? We had our wedding day at The Manor Estate in August and the day surpassed any expectations, wants and dreams. We couldn’t have asked for anything more from the support given to us during the planning process, the day of set up through to the big day itself. Pippa and her team are amazing and made sure the day flowed seamlessly from start to finish without a hitch or bother. The venue will forever hold a special place in our hearts as the picturesque, dreamy location where we started married life. You forget there’s a world beyond the walls of The Manor for the day, it becomes this ethereal magical world filled with love and sheer happiness. A day dreams couldn’t have even imagined and all thanks to Pippa, her beautiful home and her fantastic team

We cannot thank Anouska from Raggy&Boo enough, every single element of our wedding was delivered to perfection in her capable hands. No job was too big or too small, she was ready and waiting for our entrance to the venue with a glass of champagne and a smile and was just the most wonderful, calm and competent energy. We really, truly, mean it when we say we couldn't have done it without her and we would recommend her to everyone.

Had the pleasure of working for Raggy and Boo on new years eve. The evening was at a private residence and looked absolutely amazing, the staff, catering, and music were absolutely on point and I could not fault at all, everyone worked to create a amazing atmosphere for the clients and their guests. I would definitely work with Anouska again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a experienced event planner that really goes over and beyond for their client's, her knowledge and contacts in the industry gives her clients the very best suppliers to make any event one to remember. Thanks for letting me be part of the fantastic new year's eve celebration and look forward to working with you soon. Alan Granville Hampshire wedding DJ

We worked with Anouska on a New Year's Eve party and couldn't recommend her more highly! She had a really clear overarching vision for the evening whilst also being open to suggestions from us. Everything was really well organised and the whole event was a great success. We look forward to working with Raggy&Boo again at some point.

We worked with Anouska at Raggy and Boo on two fantastic events during 2023. The first was a spectacular wedding for 250 guests and the second an equally impressive New Years Eve Party for the same numbers. We found both events to be well thought through, planned and delivered. The look and style complimented each event perfectly and the the management on the day was done in a calm and reassuring way. We hope to work together again soon.

Juliette is a fantastic celebrant. She is very personable and instantly puts you at ease. Juliette helped us to curate our ceremony, offering guidance and provided suggestions which was incredibly helpful. She wrote lovely words about mine and my husband's relationship, summing it up very well. She also went out of her way to meet us before our wedding day to run through the structure of the ceremony. Definitely would recommend Juliette!

We had Juliette as our Celebrant for our wedding in July 2022! And can not recommend her enough, we adored working with her! Juliette wrote us the most beautiful ceremony & we had so many of our family and friends come up to us afterwards saying how beautiful the ceremony was. She truly listened to everything we were looking for in our ceremony, our life story & our vows to each other and created the most beautiful ceremony with it all. Thank you so much Juliette! We can never thank you enough for being such a positive & comforting presence on our most important day.

The most perfect celebrant! Juliette has known me since I was in my mum's tummy - so literally my whole life. When I got engaged, there wasn't going to be anyone else to marry my fiance and I except Juliette! From start to finish Juliette was amazing, full of fun and laughter, listening to all the ideas we wanted in our special ceremony, as we wanted it quite religious and sentimental she didn't disappoint! She made sure my 6 year old was included which was really important to me and not forgetting 'bump' as I was 30 weeks pregnant. She even flew out to France to marry us in my mums and dads local village!! If you're looking for an experienced, fun and loving celebrant, Juliette is your lady!! Thank you xxxx

Having never been to a celebrant wedding before, we weren't quite sure what to expect but we absolutely loved the whole process of working with Juliette. After meeting Juliette for an initial chat we knew she was the right fit for us, she saw our vision from the start and took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple. In the months leading up to the wedding we really got to know Juliette and she was amazing in supporting us in writing our vows. Her guidance went beyond the ceremony and she is amazing at planning the finer details around the service to make sure things run smoothly. We had the most incredible wedding day and so many of our guests have said that the highlight for them was our ceremony. The ceremony that Juliette put together for us couldn't have been more perfect and was filled with emotion, laughter, advice for our future lives together and beautiful words. Thank you so much Juliette!
