My family and I attended a wedding in Sicily planned by Roberta Bucheri Events and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The arranging of our accommodation to travelling arrangements to the venue was really thought out and it meant that we could just enjoy ourselves and not worry about anything. The attention to detail at the reception was just beautiful. This was by far the best wedding that I have attended....EVER!!

Roberta is a true professional, diligent and detailed. She made our entire wedding experience much smoother and took away a lot of the stress in the build up to the day. On the day, Roberta was fantastic. The day was totally seamless, as the groom it felt like we had the best luck in the world, but in reality that was in large part due to Roberta's diligent work in the background throughout the day. Thank you Roberta!

I had the pleasure of working with Roberta for a very special wedding. Roberta is excellent with great attention to detail, great communication and fast replies. She was running the wedding and she exceeded the expectations, making sure everyone was well looked after and that the wedding went according to plan. I highly recommend Roberta and I look forward to working with her again with more events in our venue. Thank you for your outstanding work.

The best choice we made for this wedding preparation was choosing Carolina Piazzi's "A Taste Of Beauty" to plan our wedding. The take home message is that your wedding will be planned to perfection if you choose Carolina to help you. Trust us when we say this choice will pay for itself a hundred-fold. It is the right choice; the only choice. We picked Carolina on the back of excellent online reviews to help us plan a wedding in Italy. She consulted us, understanding our preferences, our dislikes, our culture, and our budget. She took a lot into account, and did so extremely professionally. We narrowed down venues based on taste and on advice from Carolina, then visited Italy to view the shortlist, coming out with a winner. Everything was very easy. The process of planning our initial wedding in Italy was well over half a year and never felt rushed. COVID then changed everything, and we quickly had to plan a wedding in our home country UK within the space of 6 weeks. Carolina was able to do 2 things simultaneously: defend us and get the majority of our money back from vendors abroad when it was appropriate to do so, and then help us organise vendors here in the UK - in 6 WEEKS. I will never on paper fully explain the technical difficulties and obstacles she faced, but suffice it so say that we would have had a very, very mediocre wedding without her. With her, we had a slice of Italy in the UK. Her taste is impeccable and her ability to deal with vendors and keep to time is fantastic. Choose 'A Taste Of Beauty' and work with Carolina. It will be the best decision you make in planning your wedding. Photographer: @jessypapasavvaphoto Florist: @beaconbloom Cake: @designercakesbyelle

My (newly wed) wife and I asked Carolina to help with our wedding earlier this year in Bologna. Carolina was nothing short of superb - from start to finish - navigating a wedding in Italy without Carolina would have been problematic to say the least; she was able to help us navigate the red tape, legalities and add her very personal touch to every aspect of our special day. We'd initially planned on marrying in 2021 but choose to defer by a year, Carolina quickly communicated this to all suppliers and within a week, we'd secured our venue/suppliers without any headache - this alone was enough to cement the wise decision in working with Carolina. If you're looking to get married in Italy, do not hesitate to contact Carolina. Carolina is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of Italian weddings. Carolina managed every aspect of our wedding other than what we wore; that being said, is also incredibly light-touch too - when we asked for time to think things through she understood and stepped back, conversely when we couldn't decide and asked her to make a decision for us, she was resolute in doing so. I say without hesitation that Carolina was key in helping us create memories that will last forever.

My partner and I decided to get married in Tuscany as we had dreams of a fairytale wedding in the Tuscan countryside. Carolina made this dream a reality for us and worked tirelessly to ensure our wedding went ahead without any issues. From day one, Carolina won us over as our wedding planner of choice as she listened to our desires with meticulous levels of detail and really understood our vision for our special day. The entire process of planning a destination wedding during Covid was a breeze, with Carolina's exceptional organisational skills keeping us on track with key milestones. We were provided with multiple options for every aspect and she provided us with great levels of support and detail to make our final choice on venue, caterers and entertainment remotely. Getting married during a global pandemic was never going to be straightforward but Carolina navigated us through the highs and lows (including rearranging the date of our wedding at the last minute to cater for quarantine requirements) and the day went ahead without any hiccups. Our wedding day was more beautiful than I could imagine. Carolina really focuses on the finer details (which you can see in the pictures) and everything from table settings, flowers through to the choice of caterers and organising everyone was perfect. We couldn't be more grateful to have found Carolina and more ecstatic about how perfect our wedding day was. Thank you so much Carolina for making our dreams a reality!

When my partner and I decided to have our dream wedding in Bologna, Italy we begun by trying to find out the type of ceremony we could have as Church of England Christians (Christened but not religious) As Italy is run by the Catholic Church this was harder than we thought. We then tried to find a venue we could be married at, again not so easy, we could only legally marry in Bologna’s beautiful Town-hall or a venue in another town by the Major. After much research we felt we needed some help and guidance. We spoke with five wedding planners in total, Carolina was the last and only choice for us. She explained all the legalities so clearly and had a wonderful range of venues to choose (legal and symbolic) Her percentage fee worked for us and her services were worth every penny. Most importantly, we simply wouldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams without her. Carolina had advised us to visit Bologna before we picked a venue. Stupidly we didn’t and paid a deposit for a beautiful venue we had seen in photos. When on a rainy day in November we finally visited the venue we didn’t feel it was where we had imagined the wedding. On a Saturday morning I messaged Carolina with my concerns and within two hours she had organised for us to visit another venue the following day!! This was incredibly stressful day but Carolina sorted it out efficiently and calmly which is exactly what you need when planning a wedding! Venue of dreams sorted, she then gave us three quotation for catering, this was an easy choice because all the menus sounded delicious. We went with the mid range costing menu, since the wedding the food and venue are the highlights with our guests constantly going on about how the food was so delicious! Carolina works with a spectacular florist, again good value and most importantly we were delighted with the flower arrangements especially my bouquet. Like the catering we were given three quotations for the photographer. All similar prices so it was a case of picking our favourite style. Really happy with the outcome, they captured the day beautifully. A couple of months before the wedding we decided to get a videographer and again Carolina sorted this our immaculately. We had some special requests: Parmesan wheel, craft beers, extra material to decorate marquee, lighting, dance floor and an opera singer that Carolina arranged wonderfully. On the day Carolina was there to orchestrate all the moving parts which meant my husband and I could enjoy the day without any worries. The only glitch we had was the very lengthy speeches (not in Carolina's control) which could of ruined the food but somehow this was completely unaffected by her amazing organisational skills. Only negative which is also a positive we wished the wedding could have been longer as everyone was having such a fabulous time. Best wedding EVER and we couldn’t have done it with Carolina, she is a super star wedding planner!!!

I contacted Chenai after my wedding had been postponed due to covid. I had lost all enthusiasm in wedding planning and needed support and advice mainly for styling! Chenai was so supportive and created a design board after listening to my ideas and making some beautiful suggestions. I fell in love with planning the wedding again, and felt confident that everything was going to look beautiful without the worry that things may not work the way I had imagined. Chenai eliminated all the stress. Our wedding was perfect. My only regret is not finishing ByChenai Events sooner.

Rating: 5 / 5

We cannot speak highly enough of Chenai - she genuinely is the best at what she does. Her attention to detail and ability to instil a sense of calm across a stressful period is truly amazing. The greatest thing about our working relationship with Chenai is that she has now become a friend of ours. She stepped in at a time where a former wedding planner that we had was creating a lot of stress and not meeting our requirements, and Chenai came in and completely stabilised and enhanced the process. When you work with Chenai, you are working with someone who is attentive, who is committed, and truly passionate about creating the best possible event for you. Whether that's a wedding, ball or a gala, she will quite literally create the best day of your life. Can't recommend her highly enough - she is fantastic to work with!

Rating: 5 / 5

We cannot recommend Chenai enough!! As soon as we found her website we knew she would be the perfect person to plan our wedding. The team were on top of everything the whole way through the planning process which meant that we were completely stress-free. Chenai has an amazing way of knowing what you want better than you do and brought all of our vague ideas to life! Even down to having some Ghanaian flare at our otherwise traditional, English wedding. We had the pleasure of having Chenai, Tariq and Aaron with us on our wedding day meaning that everything went off without a hitch and we knew that everything was taken care of, enabling us to relax and enjoy the day.

I reached out to Chenai to help plan our wedding this summer with a relatively short lead up time and we are so happy that we found her - she pulled off a wedding beyond what we ever expected, and we, our friends and family all had the absolute best day. Her and her team's expertise in organizing weddings is evident from the beginning - and she focuses on both style and guest experience to ensure a beautiful, fun celebration. She has great connections with and knowledge of the best vendors, so can quickly help select the best ones to work with for your vision. On the day itself, everything proceeded smoothly, thanks to Chenai’s careful planning and her on-site team’s execution. Every detail was well-coordinated, with no issues arising throughout the event. Their seamless management allowed us to fully enjoy every moment of our special day without worry. She’s also a pleasure to work with, professional and highly skilled, but also warm, fun, and helps put you at ease. She makes sure to understand exactly what her clients want, then bringing those ideas to life. Her calm demeanor and positive attitude made the entire planning process enjoyable. We will be forever grateful!

Working with Mercedes at Jasmine & Henry's wedding was an absolute delight! Her communication was top-notch, and she delivered everything we requested with a touch of her own creative flair. Her team was incredibly professional, efficient, and paid attention to every little detail during set up. We can't thank her enough and are eagerly anticipating our next event together!

Where do I start, Mercedes and her dream team! ❤️4yaparty is a very special small business which is growing to high level but will still stay at it high standard of service and personal touch. Mercedes and Alex with her beautiful family did my wedding June 2024. They went above and beyond my expectations. Mercedes blow my heart away with how she did my wedding decor and co-cordination! (yes I noticed that extra detail). Everyone had something to say about how beautiful my wedding decor looked. Mercedes is passionate for Eco-friendly and stability Work , she is Professional, friendly and a dream to work with. Thank you for your amazing work and I will always be truly grateful for your service. We will keep in touch. Mrs Hewitt 😉

I would highly recommend a thousand times! Mercedes decorated our wedding on the 27th July and did the upmost amazing job ever. The amount of times I changed things leading up to the wedding and she was so patient and understanding. The decor was exactly how I imagined it and had so many compliments from our guests. Hopefully we can use her again one day, we are planning a 1 year anniversary party!

Planning a wedding is very overwhelming, there are so many things to consider. 4YaParty is the only business you should consider for wedding/event decoration and styling. I’m still lost for words and it’s been over a week. The attention to detail, care and consideration that is given is beyond anything I could have imagined. There comes a point before your wedding when you realise you actually have no idea what everything will really look like in the end. When we had returned from taking photos, we walked in to our reception venue not knowing what to expect. We were simply blown away. It was so unbelievably beautiful, and classic and breathtaking. Mercedes, you are a talent and if I only made one right decision with regards to my wedding, I know It was choosing you to make our dream day a reality. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We both found Aneeza's help invaluable in getting through what felt like a maze trying to find a venue for our wedding. She listened very carefully to what we wanted and came up with option after option for us to view. The result was we found our dream venue and are super excited! I highly recommend Easy Weddings to anyone that feels they need a guiding hand. Thanks to all of you.

Kelly has been beyond helpful in the process of finding a wedding venue. It was quite daunting to begin with but she was swift and proactive in her approach and sent easy to read brochures with all the pricing and packaging available. She is so friendly and could not thank her enough for her dedication and help! Thank you Kelly!

Easy weddings UK is incredible! They provided me with a list of amazing wedding venues within my budget along with the prices and wedding packages the venues offer. On top of this, they arrange all your viewings for you so you don't have to spend so much time contacting venues. Aneeza in particular who made all my bookings for me was a godsend! She was beyond helpful, always kept me in the loop, was extremely efficient and had a great relationship with all the venues so made the process really smooth!

Rating: 5 / 5

Wedding planning has been really stressful for us, so we are really glad to have Kelly helping us with venue selections and recommendations. She espond really quickly, is organised, and the venue options she shared were all aligned to the criteria we told her, and even helped me negotiate customised deals and discounts with select venues. It has been a pleasure working with Kelly, and although we ended up choosing another venue instead, we really appreciate Kelly and her wealth of knowledge and network as it has made the process much easier. She is an asset to all the brides. Definitely recommend.

Sail & Peg worked on a very special wedding with Cranberry Blue, hosted by Bespoke London at Cliveden House and Gardens in July 2023. Melanie was a pleasure to work alongside and her wider team were so professional, supportive, adaptable and flexible throughout. We really hope to have the opportunity to work with Cranberry Blue again in the not so distant future.

Rating: 5 / 5

Melanie came recommended by our venue as a wedding planner based in London and her profile speaks for itself. She helped with the overall design and set up of our wedding and it was all done professionally and beautifully. She took a huge load off our plate after an initial consultation - we couldn’t have done it without her!

Worked on a very special birthday party with Cranberry Blue last weekend. Melanie and the team were a delight to work with. The success of the event was a testament to her creative eye and attention to the small details! An absolute pleasure working alongside this leading London Party Planner. Can't wait to work together in the near future. Nairn Brown - Ideas Box Ltd

Where to begin… Let’s start here, Melanie and the team at Cranberry blue provided us with our dream day. From our very first conversation Melanie managed to capture our personalities, likes and dislikes and project this into designing and planning our dream wedding. She was able to make decisions whilst guiding us what seemed like effortlessly (I know realistically she out 110% of hard work and time in) on the right creative designs suited to our tastes. Before I’d even said or made a suggestion she was one step ahead and knew instinctively that I would/would not be happy with something and that took so much pressure and stress out of creating the dream day. Cranberry blue do not just plan a wedding they create the atmosphere and that’s something that takes meticulous planning and some serious imagination. She made us feel so comfortable and excited. Every meeting we had was planned and went as expected, we left all of them feeling more and more thrilled than the last one. We came to say “everyone needs a Melanie” as a bit of an ‘in joke’ but no Truer word will be spoken. I would highly recommend Cranberry blue if you are planning an event. Thank you all x

My partner and I decided to get married five months after getting engaged, which many people told us was a wild idea. We hit the ground running but realised the dry hire route that we wanted required professional guidance. Along came the Wedding Arrangers. From the initial meet-up with Chris and Emma, they instilled calm and excitement in us that the wedding we were after was possible even with our narrow time frame. Their extensive network of caterers, drink offerings, room decorations and music options brought to life the day we had envisaged but thought improbable. The food and drink throughout the day was beautiful and has had people raving about since. The on the day organisation was fantastic. At all points was either Chris or Emma close by to ensure the day flowed smoothly and all pressure was removed from us. It was our special day and we honestly wouldn't change any of it. Thank you to The Wedding Arrangers!

We used TWA for our daughter's quite large wedding recently - Chris and team are nothing short of amazing! They made super recommendations in the planning stage on venue, caterers, bands - you name it, they had ideas. They very helpfully nudged us along in the early stages and then when we started to get nervous closer to the big day, Chris and team reassured and always came back with reasons to feel secure that the event was in good hands. On the day, they were superb from the early morning start all the way through to the end. We have nothing but immense praise for this talented group of organisers and cannot recommend them highly enough!

I can’t recommend the Wedding Arrangers enough. They helped suggest amazing suppliers that made our day, answered questions before we’d thought of them and made the day run so smoothly. Chris’s calm approach to wedding planning made us fee totally at ease, and he recommended some of the most incredible suppliers. Emma waseamazing. She handled changeable weather with such grace and really helped the whole planning process feel easy. The day felt effortless and smooth despite requiring several room transitions.

Emma and Chris and the team were utterly brilliant! Emma made the whole wedding so special, every time I freaked out, just speaking to her clamed me down, she is so brilliantly organized and like the best friend you didn't know you needed just sorting stuff in the background. Our wedding looked amazing, every detail was made to ensure our guests had the best time and more importantly, we felt like special guests at our wedding because the team just made it all happen! If you want to feel stress free on your day - you need these guys! Trust me!

Working with Rebecca was the best decision we made in planning our wedding! She's a great listener and was willing to be involved in decision-making as little or much as we wanted in each area. She helped us highlight our personalities and create exactly the day we wanted to have. Her attention to detail and her style are amazing. Working with her was a delight!

We have worked with Rebecca for both a wedding and corporate event. On both occasions, it has been a delight to work with Rebecca. She has a great eye for detail and her styling is second to none. She worked with us to ensure that our clients visions was brought to life and she paid attention to every detail from decor to setup. The end results were truly stunning. I highly recommend Rebecca for any planning needs!

I wrote Rebecca a personal testimonial to thank her for her help with our wedding, yet I have not expressed my thanks to her in public. A year after our wedding, we received a very thoughtful gift from Rebecca to wish us a happy Anniversary. This is such a previous personal bond that we have formed from the event of my wedding. I cherish this relationship with Rebecca and now want to praise her, for all the happy memories she helped to create on our wedding day are still so vividly in my mind. We reached out to Rebecca based on a recommendation from 10-11 Carlton House Terrace, as we planned our wedding at the British Academy. Initially, we thought we could handle the planning ourselves with some occasional help, but looking back, we are incredibly grateful that Rebecca took the helm. Having her lead our wedding planning was the best decision we made. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Rebecca is a true professional who treats her work with respect and dedication. She insisted on being with us from the start of our journey, ensuring that every detail was carefully considered. Rebecca's meticulous proposal and thoughtful questionnaire made us realize that she cared about our wedding even more than we knew how to. Throughout the process, Rebecca's communication was exceptional. She was a joy to correspond with, always clear, organized, and very very cheerful. She welcomed our feedback and spontaneous ideas, no matter how last-minute they were. Her ability to adapt and incorporate new concepts, like our 'year of love' theme and personalized poetry in our invites, was truly impressive. Rebecca also provided us with a range of top-notch suppliers, saving us countless hours of research and ensuring we had the best options available. Her negotiations and attention to detail were clear indications that she was always looking out for our best interests. Even when we felt overwhelmed because of the complexity of the logistics, Rebecca remained so patient and supportive. We felt encouraged. On the day of our wedding, Rebecca's presence gave us complete peace of mind. She orchestrated everything flawlessly, ensuring that every aspect of the day was perfect. From organizing the setup to guiding our guests, she made sure everything ran smoothly. The transformation of the venue was magical, and she brought our romantic vision to life. This lady did not rest any minute as she had to make sure every stage follows the next, collecting wandering guests and making sure her bride and groom are all looked after. Even when the midnight has come and the feast has ended, Rebecca was the last one to leave the venue. She was busy packing all our gifts and even leaving us with a personal, heartwarming gift. Rebecca made our dream wedding come true. We think of the day and feel this life is worth living. Our beautiful big day was only possible with Rebecca's dedicated work that lasted days and nights, weeks and months. Rebecca demonstrated professionalism, resourcefulness, and endearing personality made her not just an incredible wedding planner, but a truly wonderful person to work with. We cannot recommend Rebecca highly enough. She made our wedding day the most special and unforgettable day of our lives. I wish any couple lucky enough to have Rebecca as their planner :) Huge Love N&J

We cannot say enough good things about Rebecca, not only is she an absolutely fantastic wedding planner, she is a delight to be around! Little did Rebecca know when she took us on in 2019 she would end up planning three weddings for us (!), first the one that didn't happen due to COVID, then a small intimate wedding with a couple of friends during the pandemic, and finally a big celebration this year. Every detail was beautiful, she is so creative, organised, warm and professional. Nothing was too much trouble - she coordinated the most beautiful flowers and venue as well as creative extras like gift bags and a creche for children, coffee and mimosa bars - even luggage tag favours / place-cards. Sadly some beloved family could not make it at the last minute, and she helped me sort a projector for a speech recording which was so special. Above all, on the day she made everything run so smoothly that we could just relax and have a great time. It says quite a lot that when we gave thanks to our family and guests, we gave a shout out to Rebecca and everyone cheered despite them having only met her that day! Do yourself a favour if you are planning a wedding, hire Rebecca!

Penny is the most organised person I know. Her attention to detail and planning skills are truly fantastic. We worked together on several occasions and results were always beautiful. I cant recommend her enough!

We used Penelope for our wedding in August, I found her service to be flexible, reliable and supportive to my individual wedding planning needs. Her experience and knowledge was invaluable when helping me make specific decisions. She arranged regular meetings to make sure things were progressing smoothly while planning our big day. On the wedding day, everything ran according to schedule and was exactly how I envisaged it. This was because of Penelope and I can’t thank her enough as we got to enjoy our wedding day and not worry about the details. I would highly recommend Penelope to friends and family and anyone who is looking for a professional wedding planner to help them organize their wedding day.

Penny was beyond helpful in helping us plan our wedding and I’m sure nothing would have gone so smoothly without all her help! She is a real perfectionist, incredibly organised and on the day itself was such a useful asset in ensuring that everything went to plan. We were perhaps a little too blasé with expecting the weather to be kind to us and all our supplies to sort out any problems themselves, but Penny ensured that we had back up plans and ideas just in case. I think everybody found her spreadsheets and itineraries exceptionally useful on the day! Thanks again Penny! ☺️

There are wedding planners who say they care, and wedding planners who absolutely care and want only the best for their clients. I’m a wedding photographer and I’m lucky to work with many wonderful wedding planners. Penny at Tigerlily Weddings is one of the most caring and client focused planners I’ve had the pleasure of working with. When somebody treats a client’s wedding with a level of care and detail usually only reserved for their very own wedding, then you know you’re working alongside somebody very special. Penny has the experience, vision, passion and infectiously friendly personality needed to bring clients dreams to reality, and not only that, but makes the whole process of doing so an absolute joy for everyone involved. Would I recommend Tigerlily Weddings? Without a shadow of doubt. A true talent indeed.
