My husband and I got married in July 2024, and utilised Jess’ on the day wedding coordination package - but what her and her team give you is so so much more than that! We booked a venue which required lots of different suppliers (separate caterer, bar company, linen hire, port-a-loos etc….) and in the run up to it I said to my husband that I really wanted someone I could hand everything over to in advance so I could enjoy the run up and not be worrying about coordinating everything! Luckily, I’d met Jess at an event before we were even engaged and so she was the first person I went to for this help. And I am SO glad we did! She goes above and beyond for you to make sure your day is special and runs smoothly. I’ll never forget that I’d planned to tie the tags onto our favours the night before the wedding with my bridesmaids, only to turn up and for them to have already been done by Jess and her team without even needing to have asked. We had drinks “tokens” to hand out to our evening guests and I went to ask Jess for these in the evening to hand them out, again to find that they’d taken care of it already. They were one step ahead always on the little details, and knowing there was someone we could go to on the day if needed (rather than people coming to me or the wedding party) was truly invaluable. After our wedding I asked my partner what’s the one “non negotiable” you’d recommend to other couples planning a wedding like ours and we both agreed that it would be Jess and her team. I know my sister is also recommending her to friends who are getting married soon too as she was equally impressed by her! Thank you Jess and team for helping to make our day so perfect, we genuinely couldn’t have done it without you!

As a very indecisive and unorganised couple, we needed help so put our trust in Jess. Choosing Jess as our wedding planner was the best decision we ever made and enabled us to have the wedding of our dreams! Jess is so professional, organised and knowledgeable in every single department and we are so glad we hired Jess so early on in the planning. Jess has a wealth of amazing contacts and was always available to support us through the process. She is extremely hands on and provided a service that was worth every penny. Her and her team were phenomenal on the day and made sure everything went perfectly - she is also just a lovely person to spend time with whilst organising our big day! If you’re reading this deciding whether to enquire, absolutely do it! x

Jess and her team were amazing, they were friendly and so, so organised. Jess helped make the lead-up to our wedding run seamlessly, which meant we didn’t have all the stress of sorting everything out. As she is a wedding expert, she gave us great tips and advice about how best to set out our day, we wouldn’t have had a clue otherwise! On the day of our wedding, everything ran to time and went perfectly and she was a very calming presence for my husband when he was getting a bit stressed out. It was like a professional production and we could just relax and enjoy ourselves - we even forgot they were there sometimes! We would highly recommended hiring Jess to coordinate your wedding, it’s a no brainer really, you can have an amazing well-put together wedding and no stress!

If you're wondering "do I really need a wedding planner?" the answer is no - you don't need just a wedding planner, YOU NEED JESS! The easiest ever 5 stars. Jess was phenomenal - you will not find a safer pair of hands for the biggest day of your life! BEFORE WEDDING DAY We thought we could do it all but we were so SO wrong. 16mths before our big day we realised that wedding planning is someone's profession for a REASON & opted to find an 'on the day' planner since most of our vendors were already booked. My biggest regret is not getting Jess on board from the outset! We spoke with a number of wedding planners & at the end of back-to-back initial meetings, we didn't even need to discuss who the best fit was - it was obviously Jess. Jess was, of course, kind & congratulatory & immediately easy to get on with, but she was also focused & able to demonstrate her ability to deliver our dream day from the very first moments of meeting her. We knew that she would have everything in hand! Jess was our go to whenever we had a wobble or a question or needed to soundboard something. Nothing was too much & she always responded quickly & with results! She put us at ease every step of the way. The thing with wedding planning is that you don't know what you don't know, & that is where Jess is essential. She won't just people please - she'll give you honest advice/opinions to ensure your day runs smoothly & in line with your vision, & she will quickly identify any issues or gaps & will have solutions before you can even ask! ON THE DAY Knowing Jess was going to be there put us at ease in the lead up. On the day we both said that booking Jess was the best decision we made on MULTIPLE occasions! Nothing was an issue, she had everything under control, & had solutions to any issues without us even knowing there'd been an issue. There was literally not one thing we had to worry about on the day. Ultimately, Jess was both a friendly face on the day putting us at ease & also the most proficient organiser I've ever seen. She took command, made sure everything/everyone was where they needed to be, & did so in the kindest & most professional way without so much as breaking a sweat. She makes EVERYTHING look effortless! By the end of the day, we were devastated that she was leaving after having delivered our dream wedding day which, due to her sheer effort & skill, far exceeded our expectations & frankly blew us out the water. TIPS 1 - Don't book any old wedding planner, BOOK JESS! And do it sooner than later - don't be me, you can't do it all! 2 - If you're having a multi-day wedding, particularly with a pre-party, book Jess! We didn't & when it came to bite me in the backside she was there at the drop of a hat & sorted EVERYTHING out. Massive regret not just booking her from the outset! 3 - Communicate! Jess is incredible but she's not a mind reader, & she got to know us so well so that she could deliver the exact right aesthetic & atmosphere on the day. 4 - Trust Jess implicitly. There is a reason this is her profession. She delivers flawless weddings week in, week out. If you hand over the reins, you will NOT be disappointed! OVERALL Jess is one of the most organised people you will ever meet & you'll rarely have a question that she hasn't already thought of & answered - she goes above & beyond! She is also so incredibly kind & we like to think over the past couple of years has become a real friend, something we are so grateful for. Our day was flawless & it was entirely down to Jess. Booking Jessica Sharpe Weddings was one of our best decisions & if you are lucky enough to book her I know it will be yours too! TO JESS There are no words to actually express our gratitude. You are truly the best in the business & delivered a day that we will never ever forget & we know it would not have been possible without you. You have gone from strength to strength since Jan 2022 when we booked & it has been incredible to see & to be part of. We will be cheerleading you on as your business continues to thrive! All our love, Mr & Mrs Wilson xxx

After previously seeing The Lives Notes at another venue, my wife and I asked them to perform for our wedding in April 2022 From the outset everything was handled professionally. Communication was excellent and they essentually held our hands through the process which certainly helped to alleviate stress our end. On the day we had the L2 duo along side reception drinks which went down a treat with our guests and the 5 piece band for the evening who in turn worked with the venue DJ between sets so everything joined up seamlessly. The atmosphere was fantastic and the band read the room well to adapt their playing to suit what was happening on the dance floor. I couldn't recommend the band anymore. There are certainly no regrets on our side and we're so glad we chose them to perform at our wedding.

Absolute blast these guys were. George and the band were just brilliant and as bands go, I would say the best band at a wedding I have seen (not biased at all even though it was our wedding) All the way leading up to the wedding George was great. Meticulously planned but so organic on the day and they were just amazing fun all night. If you are looking at going with this band, just do it. We had the Hebrew singer with the Hora set also and it was exactly what we wanted. We were worried about people engaging and getting involved with the dancing but it was so much fun we had to do an extra run of Hava nagila as before we knew it they'd played all 5 songs before we got on the chairs. They are brill, and if you are looking for a band that can cater the Jewish elements too, look no further. Thank you for making the day amazing. Hope to see you at another wedding in the future. (hopefully in Manchester too) Dave & Sarah

I hired a duet from The Live Notes for my 30th birthday party and they blew everyone's expectations out of the water! George was fantastic in his communication and organisation of the gig, keeping me updated and checking that information was correct in the lead up to the event. We settled on two 1 hour sets with a 30 minute break in the middle for guests to get some food. The Live Notes would supply all the equipment needed and all we needed to provide were a number of plugs for power. Ollie, on keyboard, and Kim, singing, were incredible! They played a variety of different songs, adjusting their set to suit the reaction from my guests - I could not have asked for a better set! The sounds quality was amazing, with George bringing an amazing set of speakers and lights! The skill and talent of these guys was amazing, they were all so polite and seemed to genuinely enjoy performing which is refreshing to see! I would highly recommend hiring The Live Notes to anyone who is a lover of live music and wants the best for their event whether it's a birthday party, wedding or other function, they will blow away all expectations! Thanks George, Kim and Ollie!

Incredible band! Can't recommend George and The Live Notes highly enough - from our first call they were so responsive and able to cater to all our needs. We had the 7 piece showband but added in an extra vocalist. Played an excellent version of our first dance and supplemented a party set with an acoustic dinner set. Hands down the highlight of our wedding reception!

Excellent experience from start to finish Paul was great and helped with ideas for cocktails and mocktails. All the guests complimented on the perfect balance for the wedding. To top it all off the bar and display looked stunning. Very professional set up! The whole team were there throughout the day asking if we needed anything. Definitely made the day special!

On behalf of Aston Martin London, we couldn’t recommend Ali, Paul, and Daniel more highly. They were absolutely fantastic, and the cocktails were a huge hit with our customers at our Vanquish Christmas Soirée. The branded Espresso Martinis were the perfect finishing touch. Thank you, team!

Mr Flavour recently managed and delivered my Halloween themed 40th Birthday party. Prior to the event, Ali and his team liaised with the venue to ensure everyone knew what they were doing to pull off an epic event. Everything was seamlessly organised and flawlessly delivered. From the moment we arrived, the courtyard and bar were set so professionally and truly transformed the venue, it looked like a Halloween movie set. The bar staff and actors set a perfectly eerie tone. The reception was a hit giving everyone the chance to mix and mingle over incredible cocktails that were as tasty as they were theatrical. The barn was set up with an incredible cocktail 'blood' fountain keeping everyone perfectly hydrated, though we were never left wanting with spooky cocktails and shots circulating all night long. The band were phenomenal and had everyone up and dancing all night long. I can't thank the Mr Flavour team enough for delivering the most memorable night of my life!

We cannot recommend Mr Flavour Events enough! From the moment we first made contact, we knew that we were working with a team who could provide a bespoke service that perfectly met our needs. The team were so professional, communication was exemplary and their service was beyond phenomenal! Our wedding guests had the most incredible time, loved all the cocktails, loved all the bartenders (and their banter!) and we all loved the extra surprises eg smoking shots on the dance floor. If we have another big event, or know anyone else who is having one, Mr Flavour Events will be the first people we recommend! Thank you so much!

ICatching Events are absolutely amazing. I have used them a few times now and they are the easiest, friendliest and most reasonable and reliable events company I have dealt with over the years. They truly know 'Events' inside and out. My most recent experience was using them for lighting and props for a Charity Gala Ball for 320 people. Their work left us very proud of them and the comments we received from guests were amazing. Ask for keith in Sales and you won't be disappointed. 5 star company

We used Pure Elegance Events after Donna, Amanda and the team were recommended to us. After sneaking away to get married we wanted to celebrate with fifty of our close friends and family. We maybe thought this would be too small for Pure Elegance however, this was never the case. I feel like we were treated the same as anyone having a huge wedding with an large budget. From the very first meeting with Donna she was friendly and profession. We felt like we had known her a long time. As we were only having a meal we hadn't really thought too much about what we wanted and didn't want anything extravegant. Donna took the few ideas we had and built on it. We don't feel like we asked for a lot of stuff or went all out, however, the room looked amazing. The attention to detail was flawless. Due to circumstances beyond our control there was a very last minute change of venue whilst we were out of the country. If it wasn't for Donna & the extended brilliant team, we can honestly say we wouldn't have had a new venue. We are fully aware they didn't need to go above and beyond to find us somewhere new but they did. Even though this actually wasn't what we were paying them for. This shows their very high level of customer service. You can trust them whole heartedly to do the right thing for their customers and you aren't just another booking. We would use Donna and her team again in a heartbeat. We just need an excuse for a party! Martin & Sarah 5/10/24

What can I say I messaged Pure Elegance after I had a very unprofessional experience with another company I will not mention names, Donna and her team really made my dreams come true, she helped me pick my wedding flowers and listened to me stress about wedding stuff for weeks on ends. Donna and her team went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us. I would message and ask for something or just to talk and she would be there too help me with anything. I feel like I've made a great friend in Donna and I hope to say in touch with her. Her team are amazing and the quality of her decor is outstanding!!. I would 1000% recommend Pure Elegance to anyone and everyone! Thank you again for everything you have done for me and my wife 💕 Love Mrs and Mrs Broadley!

Donna and team were absolutely wonderful and very professional from start to finish. We chose to have artificial bouquets and were very happy with the effect. We went with a rustic theme and the individually designed tablescapes were just gorgeous. We had lots of compliments and we can wait to see the professional pics of the day. A special thank you to Megan who knitted us a special mushroom for our top table tablescape. Very sweet and we will treasure it always.

Emma and her team were great to work with. They understood our aesthetics and vision for the wedding, and worked with us to bring them to life. She accommodated our requests and researched alternatives where she didn’t have an item at hand to ensure we wouldn’t compromise on anything. Emma is lovely, was punctual and discreet on the day of the event, and really demonstrated a desire to provide great service level. Thoroughly recommended.

Recommended by my Aunty who used Ex Pose for my Uncle‘s 50th, I also used them for my 30th birthday and was so impressed with the personalised service. The designs were bespoke to match what I had described and the colour scheme of my venue. I didn’t have to worry or be involved, Ex Pose worked with my venue and when I turned up on the night I had the most spectacular feature! Emma was super friendly, and understanding - can’t wait to have another excuse to get in touch with them again!
