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

If you haven't booked Laura already.. you must! She was so incredible from the first email. We had a very late change of wedding coordinator at our venue close to our day which really stressed me out! We were also organising a Salcombe wedding from Suffolk which made this more difficult. Then Laura contacted us and gave us complete confidence that everything would be exactly as we wanted it and it couldn't have been more perfect. I was very specific about all my design ideas and Laura went above and beyond to make sure it was perfectly as I'd envisioned. She made excellent suggestions to compliment the things I'd already arranged, the pink ruffle tablecloths were so beautiful along with the gold cutlery and charger plates. It honestly looked more beautiful than I could have imagined. On the day itself we couldn't have managed without her. She went out of her way to help my husband arrange all of the decor along with coordinating the various suppliers. She even helped with his buttonhole! Her attention to detail is incredible we knew the changeover to our wedding breakfast set up would be fabulous and it brought us both to tears walking in and seeing it for the first time. We really can't recommend you highly enough Laura and thank you so very much for making our wedding the most beautiful Salcombe has ever seen!

Laura, thank you so much! I was entirely confident in my ability to handle wedding planning on my own. In a moment of stress, bringing Laura on board was easily one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process. Laura is thoughtful, smart, resourceful, honest and genuine. She provided BRILLIANT insight to the entire day (and weekend)'s worth of planning. There are so many details I am confident we would have missed on our own, but Laura handled them with ease. She was more than considerate of our budget, and gave honest advice on what was and wasn't needed. Her styling and inventory were timeless and beautiful. On the day, things couldn't have gone better, many, many thanks to her careful planning. I genuinely miss having her in my life! Hiring Laura will be one of the best decisions you make on your wedding planning journey.

We were so lucky to have Laura help style our day. She put so much time and effort into making our vision a reality on a budget, and we could really trust her timeless and elegant taste. Many of our guests commented on how beautiful and Grecian the draped chairs looked, and Laura got to the venue very early to make sure they were all perfect. Laura felt like a trusted friend throughout the wedding planning, and was someone we could rely on when things on the day started to unravel and the venue seemed a bit overloaded. She was professional, calm and steadfast and the day would not have been the success it was without her. Our only wish is we could have involved her more but we weren’t in touch til quite close to the wedding. Thank you Laura! Xx

Laura was just simply the best! From the initial phone call to the wedding day, she was a dream to work with. Friendly, supportive, patient, professional and nothing too much trouble - she made my day absolutely perfect. I’m absolutely useless at ideas and decor etc but she somehow made the little vision I had, in to something that was everything I wanted and more! I wouldn’t have anyone else, I cannot recommend Laura enough, she made my wedding day enjoyable, no stress and made me cry when I saw all the beautiful touches and our wedding breakfast room. Everyone needs a Laura for their wedding styling and planning x

"Best Wedding Ever!" we heard from 100% of our wedding guests! The Larmer Tree Gardens Wedding experience is truly out of this world, and we are so grateful to the talented Larmer Tree Team delivering a phenomenal wedding day event. From an exceptional wedding venue and accommodation (staying at King John House- is a must!) 5-star customer service, superb seamless event delivery to the most talented chefs working on site. We want to especially thank Francesca, our wedding coordinator for her talents, professionalism and event delivery, you truly made it the best possible experience and we will treasure this magical time forever! Thank you so much Jade & Meyrick Xxx

My husband and I will forever be grateful that we booked The Larmer Tree to host our wedding, on 6th November 2024. As soon as we visited the venue for one of their supplier open days and to meet the team for the first time, we absolutely knew that this is where we would get married. Our wedding coordinator Sinead was incredible from start to finish, very passionate about her job, and very intelligent and confident in her role. As Sinead had also gotten married there, it was like she knew the place like the back of her hand. There wasn't a single moment where we felt at a loss, and she was with us every step of the way (even when I was running 20 minutes late!) It was an absolute pleasure working with and getting to know her, and we will forever be grateful to have her on our side. The rest of the team were incredibly on the ball with ensuring that everything was uptogether and it was amazing working with them. This is truly a day that we will remember forever. We had the best day and I would recommend The Larmer Tree to anyone looking for the perfect venue to host their wedding. It is picturesque, quirky, and truly memorable. Thank you so much for being with us on our special day 🥰✨️💖

I love this place Do really good weddings and also events. Christmas fair, halloween events and others are really fun. It's also really good for people that like calm and alone time when it's not end of the road, it goes from having a lot of people to not many. I recommend.

We had our wedding at Larmer Tree Gardens in March 2024 and it was an absolute dream come true! The venue itself is so unique and special, however what truly made our experience exceptional was the amazing team that work there. We were so lucky to have Francesca as our wedding coordinator. She gave us complete reassurance in the lead-up to our wedding day and was able to help us make the right decisions and solve any challenges that arose. Our guests were equally impressed by all the staff at Larmer Tree Gardens, including the Forking Out catering team. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone had a brilliant time. We cannot thank Francesca and the team enough for making our wedding day so special. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Larmer Tree Gardens for anyone looking for a perfect wedding venue and for their excellent facilities to ensure couples are well prepared and looked after. Larmer Tree will always hold a very special place in our lives and we look forward to going back to visit in the future to relive the amazing memories.

I have had so much fun working with Beth over a couple of styled shoots. She is utterly brilliant, super artistic, and has a fantastic eye for detail. Could not recommend her or Nat highly enough, you are in very safe hands!

Beth is creatively brilliant, and personally lovely. We've worked with her numerous times, and there's no other stylist we'd use for any event. Her energy is boundless, and her styling is flawless every single time; we're always excited to work on an Apple and Bramble project!

Bethan at Apple and Bramble was the coordinator at our wedding in July. Throughout planning she was full of good suggestions about suppliers and how we could structure the day. The day before she helped us set up all the furniture and decorations. Her help and her ideas for layout and design were invaluable. She made what would have been quite a stressful task really relaxed. She was also able to hire out loads of lovely decorations and props (vases, candlesticks, cushions etc). On the day itself she managed everything perfectly from the beginning to the very end of the night so we didn't have to think about anything. I cannot stress enough what a fantastic job she did!! We had another party at the venue the day after and she was there again, bright and early and by the time we arrived she'd set everything up and it was looking beautiful again. On top of all her hard work, Bethan was just a joy to have around. We so enjoyed spending time with you! I cannot recommend Apple and Bramble highly enough. Thanks for everything :)

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! C&T x

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! Holly & Paul Robins

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.

Oh my! what can I say, this is now my favourite wedding venue to photograph. The driveway makes Kingston Lacey look like a play park, The grounds make castle owners weep. I just want to photograph weddings here till I die. The team that organise are epic and always on side no matter what.

Beautiful place. Very positive experience visiting Hale Park. Currently, there are thousands of snow drops like a carpet across some of the land, and crocus and dafs too. In my eyes this place is a Paradise. Dr Mayan Lynch

The most beautiful house with so much charm and character! The team at Hale Park made every effort to ensure we had an amazing day and every detail was covered by them! The views from the back of the house are incredible. Such a relaxed owner which made us feel so comfortable to be able to choose exactly what we wanted. Really couldn’t fault this venue in anyway

The most unique and beautiful house… Sloan and Candida were also absolutely lovely to deal with. Would 100% recommend!
