Where to start..... I can not ever thank Helen enough for giving us the most magical day of our lives and the wedding of our absolute DREAMS last September. When I first came across Helen back in 2019, I knew instantly from looking at her beautiful website and following our initial consultation that Helen was exactly the person I wanted and needed to have planning our wedding with us; I never needed to consider any other planners, I knew straight away that Helen and her team were going to be the ones for us. Initially, my (now) Husband was against the idea of spending money on a wedding planner however with heavy work schedules and dreams of a luxurious wedding but not knowing a thing about the industry, there was no doubt that it was a battle he was not going to win; he will be the first person now to say it was the BEST decision we made in the whole of the planning process. Having Helen on board paid even more dividends when COVID hit and we were faced with two postponements; Helen took so much stress away from us during that time, showed us so much care and I have no doubts that Helens reputation and highly respected position in the wedding industry meant that we were luckily able to move the wedding date on both occasions with minimal financial impact. Helen is not only the ultimate professional, she is just the most wonderful person and I will be forever grateful that we were able to share such a special time with her and have her support for every step of the way. Her eye for the small details, her impeccable taste, along with her non-nonsense approach and wealth of knowledge really did help create a dream day for us and our families, far beyond any expectations. If you're unsure whether or not to get in touch or whether you need the help of a wedding planner like Helen, please don't hesitate for a single second, I promise you it will be the best decision you will make. Helen, thank you for everything! x

WOW! What can we say - Helen you were absolutely fantastic. We honestly do not think our day could have gone as smoothly as it did without you. From our initial meeting up until the big day the effort and orginasiation you put in instantly made us feel at ease. The logistics and complexity of the day was handled well within your calm & capable hands. We can't thank you enough, thank you for helping make our day so perfect. Lots of Love Charlotte & Jamie xxx

PERFECT! 🤍 We booked with 15 months to go, and Top Table were amazing throughout the whole journey. They made everything so easy that it felt like something was missing, but it wasn’t. I just didn’t expect to to be so calm! Our wedding day ran so smoothly and perfectly, and we are so grateful for Jake, who helped manage us throughout the day, as it was such a blur! With 2 weeks to go, we also discovered we were expecting.. Top Table helped hide this with secret drinks and conversations throughout the day, so our guests were none the wiser! We had the best day of our lives and can thank Top Table for this! 🤍🎉

Brilliant experience from start to finish with Top Table. We booked Top Table for our wedding after meeting them at an open day we knew at once we wanted them to cater our wedding because they were so friendly and professional. From the communication and tasting before the day to the coordination and set up on our wedding day nothing was too much for them. We received so many compliments on the food from our guests and I’m sure it will be remembered for years to come. We genuinely could not recommend them enough!!

Top Table were absolutely fantastic and all our wedding guests commented on how amazing the food was! The staff were all brilliant, from keeping us organised and making sure we had everything in place ready for the day, to being so professional, friendly and organised on the day of the wedding. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

Top table were our caterers in August at the Oak Tree of Peover. They were so helpful creating a menu for us and especially for accommodating quite a long list of guest allergies and intolerances. The staff were really lovely and we felt they went out of their way to be helpful to us. They also boxed up our leftovers and cake at the end of the day from our buffet which was hugely appreciated! The tasting we had back in January was delicious, and really helped us choose what we wanted for our menu. I'm still dreaming of the chicken we had for our main course! So sad we didn't think to take a photo of our food, but our photographer luckily took some pics of the starter and main. Portion sizes were great too and we definitely didn't hear any complaints about being hungry! Definitely recommend a trio of desserts! It was extremely helpful going through a plan of timings for the day, the document sent really helped us when answering questions from other suppliers, venue and registrars! Thank you so much for everything you did for us ❤ (Photos by Clare Robinson)

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

Cannot thank you enough, will be recommending you to anyone who asks!! lots of love, Mr and Mrs Tierney 27.07.24

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.

What a gem. We are so glad we used Pure Elegance and had a great experience from start to finish. Time spent chatting to Donna was so helpful, we talked about our desires for how we wanted our room to look and received great advice and ideas where necessary, she also answered lots of other random wedding day questions like order of the day and top table traditions etc. Donna and her team delivered our autumnal romantic vision just perfectly. The support and service we received was 5 star and we had lots of fun planning the room decorations so thank you so much, a 5 star service we would absolutely recommend. With love Mr and Mrs Kirk X

We hired Victoria for the wedding day management for our wedding, and I can't say enough positive words. Even from the start during our intro call, to coordinating with vendors, to the final day wedding celebration, she exceeded our expectations. I was hesitant to hire someone for the day of coordination because I am a planner myself, but Victoria checked every box and she allowed me to unplug and really enjoy the day with my family and friends. Highly recommend her because of her organization skills, professionalism, and how pleasant she was to work with!

From our very first meeting we knew that Tor was the person to plan our wedding with us. She had the best personality, was easy to get on with and she was obviously very knowledgeable in her field which filled us both with confidence. Myself and Dave are very busy people, and got especially busy as we were planning our wedding. Tor was there day and night, no matter what time I messaged her with a query or idea she was on the ball so fast. Tor also recommended the best suppliers. One of them being Gemma from Rock and Wreath, our flowers were absolutely unreal and I felt confident giving Gemma complete freedom and creative license with her designs. I had an idea of maybe having a live sketch artist but after searching and searching I couldn’t find the right person. Tor absolutely pulled it out the bag and found the amazing little Beth Illustrations. We would have never had such special wedding favors if it wasn’t for Tor finding Beth. Tor also found the beautiful Bethan Steers for my hair, and the amazing Beth Kennet for our wedding videography! These two women were an absolute joy of energy to have around on the day, but every single person involved was. So I’m so grateful to Tor for finding all of these wonderful suppliers because they were truly out of this world, every single one of them. On the day of the wedding Tor was never not by my side, anything I needed she was there 100 percent and really had my back no matter how big or small, from making sure I had coffee when I was tired, to emergency steaming my wedding dress. Thank you so much for everything you did to make sure our day was as special as it was. It wouldn’t have been the day it was without you. Love Paula and Dave xxx

We hired Tor to help with our wedding in July and really cannot thank or recommend her enough. Our wedding was held at our family farm, and whilst this seemed like a great idea, we also had so many possibilities of things going wrong on the day. As soon as we had Tor’s input into the wedding, she gave us every bit of confidence that the day would run as beautifully as it did. From the week leading up to the wedding, all of our suppliers couldn’t believe how relaxed I was and this was definitely thanks to Tor. Tor was there at all hours to answer any questions, help me make decisions, and make suggestions that I definitely wouldn’t have thought of (without being annoying ha!). On the day of the wedding I was able to have such a lovely morning with the bridal party, and throughout the day knew everything was being taken care of which resulted in being able to actually enjoy our wedding day without any stress (which a lot of couples don’t get to do). Tor is such a lovely person and so easy to get on with, even if it wasn’t wedding chat we would still have a laugh.. we had so many comments from guests about how incredible our wedding was, how smooth the day went, and how fab Tor was behind the scenes. We have said from the start, hiring Tor was the best decision we made…we are also convinced she could plan a wedding on Mount Everest and it run smoothly. Tor we thank you so much for all your hard work, time and just being fab! You are welcome at the farm any time :) xxx

As a wedding videographer, I wish every wedding I captured had a Victoria! Having someone like Victoria to go to with questions and check ins made the day run so much smoother than I’m used to! Victoria is the kind of person that is so on it as well and thinks of every little detail but is so creative and flexible in how she works to help and assist with whatever you need throughout the day. Not just for the couple but for the suppliers too! I would urge people to hire her and highly recommend Victoria as the lovely person she is and for the great services she offers!

Mel planned and styled our wedding day and she was brilliant throughout. She was so helpful and prompt in getting back to me and was always happy to discuss things. The styling for the day went above and beyond all my expectations, I was absolutely over the moon walking into the venue to see it look as beautiful as it did. I would recommend Mel to absolutely everyone!

Mel and the team did an exceptional job to make my husband's surprise 30th birthday party amazing; the aesthetic, the table centrepiece arrangements, the chair sashes, the backdrop, the conservatory lighting, the cake table, the welcome sign, the ambience - she created the exact atmosphere I had imagined. Everything came together so beautifully, and everyone remarked on how well it was done. I had high expectations and she exceeded them. The guests still keep referring to how beautifully decorated the entire space was. I also loved how she added personalised touches like the wooden wall containing photos of my husband. She had such great ideas that complemented my vision, and she brought them together so masterfully. Her prices were affordable as well, and she threw in some freebies. I would definitely use her services again, and would highly recommend her business.

Used Mel for our wedding in April 2024, the team decorated our venue better than we could have ever imagined 😊 she got the colours spot on from me describing what colour I wanted. Communication was good. Our venue looked perfect thankyou so much ❤️

Add A Little Sparkle were the decorators we used for the wedding and I can not rate Mel and her team highly enough. We planned out English wedding from Australia. Mel answered all of my questions with patience and detail and made the whole process so much easier. Her workshop is lovely and the variety is huge. On the day the venue looked incredible-would highly recommend

We initially contacted Charlotte a couple of years ago to plan our wedding. She was brilliant from the get go - extremely responsive, friendly and knowledgeable. The pandemic hit and we had to re arrange our wedding. Charlotte went over and beyond to sort this for us. It was an extremely stressful time and Charlotte made everything so easy for us. We had our wedding last week and it was Perfect. Everything was arranged meticulously to the last detail. Everyone commented how great it was. I am so so glad we contacted Charlotte. She takes all of the stress away and allows you to enjoy the whole process. Would recommend all couples use her to plan your most perfect wedding! thank you so much xxx

Our wedding was planned throughout covid as we got engaged the day before the national lockdown so we knew wedding planning wasn’t going to be straight forward in the early stages with all of the restrictions! We met with Charlotte who supported us through the wedding planning process, she arranged venue viewings and gave recommendations for reliable suppliers and made contact with them on our behalf (and they were all absolutely brilliant!!!). As well as offering her advice when it came to venue decoration and flowers - something we had no idea about and really appreciated the guidance . Charlotte co-ordinated the running order of the day and communicated amongst suppliers. On the day, it ran so smoothly, Charlotte worked in the background to ensure everything was in order so we didn’t need to worry about anything. In the lead up, people would tell us that wedding planning is extremely stressful, however we didn’t feel any of that and we’re so relaxed, thanks to Charlotte!

Hiring Charlotte Elise Wedding & Events was the best decision we made when planning our wedding. Charlotte helped with the sourcing and booking of suppliers and it was amazing to have access to her knowledge. Once booked she handled the venue and all suppliers brilliantly taking all the stresses of us. On the run up to our wedding day she ensured they all knew timings and answered any questions, she also made sure we hadn’t forgotten anything (even ordering some items for us!) On our wedding day Charlotte coordinated everyone (caterers, band, production etc) and helped with the setting up. Knowing Charlotte was there meant that we didn't have to worry once and looking back it was essential in helping us enjoy our wedding day. Afterwards many of our guests commented on how well the day flowed and it was great to hear what an amazing time our friends and family had. We cannot thank Charlotte enough for helping us plan and deliver our dream day! Olivia & Jamie.

I found Charlotte through instagram and since the first initial phone call I knew she was the perfect wedding planner! Having to rearrange the wedding due to the pandemic, Charlotte made the whole process so stress free and went over & beyond to sort this for us. Since we planned the wedding at our family home, she was able to arrange everything perfectly to the last detail! The suppliers loved working with her and we did too! We're beyond grateful to have worked with Charlotte and would highly recommend to all future couples xx
