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!

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

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.

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

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!!!

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.

Catherine is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend enough, having her co-ordinate your day. She helped us make sure we had considered everything we needed (things I would never have though of!). She helped make the wedding planning process smooth and liaised with suppliers so everything worked together. She sorted out any issues on the day so the day ran smoothly and we didn't need to worry about a thing- we could relax and enjoy our day.

Friendly, efficient and always super organised. Highly recommend Love That Wedding to any couples wanting on-the-day co-ordination for their big day. It’s always a pleasure to exhibit my wedding stationery business at any of Cat’s Wedding Fairs.

We held our wedding at Antrobus House and I couldn’t have wished for a better day. The venue was beautiful and just amazing for a wedding, and Catherine, who helped to facilitate the day was perfectly perfect. Nothing was too much trouble and the professionalism shown was beyond expectation. Any issues on the day were dealt with before I even noticed, and Catherine had the most wonderful kind and organised nature which put me at ease throughout the planning stage and throughout our day. Thank you so much for being part of our story! 😊

Catherine was with us from our first wedding Faye at Antrobus House til our first dance at our wedding reception. We decided to have her for our wedding co ordinator and the day ran even better than we’d hoped, with every detail managed by her amazingly, meaning we could just sit back and enjoy our wedding day. Her recommendation for our celebrant was perfect. Wish we could do it all over again! Thanks Catherine ❤️

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)

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!

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 ❤️

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!

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!

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! 🚀

Rating: 5 / 5

The course is an amazing way of fast-tracking into the Events industry! You get to learn from people who have been successful and are currently working within the industry, and find out their useful tips and tricks. There is so much content, yet it is so easy to follow, and you feel supported but not pressured when completing the course. I definitely recommend Event Crowd to other aspiring Event Managers!

I have had the great privilege of working with Beth on multiple projects. Her attention to detail, creative eye, organisation prowess and general resourcefulness put most of us to shame. I couldn’t more highly recommend her as a stylist, planner extraordinaire. If you are considering Apple and Bramble then you need look no further. Get in touch today. You won’t be disappointed.

Rating: 5 / 5

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 :)

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!

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.

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 🥰✨️💖

Went to the gardens for a walk and the grounds are very interesting and would make a beautiful wedding location. They aren’t big gardens however the price is small. There is a cafe at the entrance which has great coffee and croissants. The cakes looked extra special as well. Overall a nice place to meet and relax for a couple of hours (or a wedding!)

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!

We couldn't recommend Came House more as a wedding venue. Tucked away in the beautiful Dorset countryside, the house itself is stunning and such an incredible place to get married. Melanie and the team were just so lovely from the very beginning - which was so important to us, a team that we wanted to work with to bring our wedding to life. And they really came through, from helping us plan all aspects, covering every detail, and doing it all with a great calmness and friendliness. In short, they were brilliant. Get the venue right and the rest will follow... with Came, it certainly did.

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!

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

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
