Best Event Planning Services in Andover, Hampshire (2025)

This was going to be a review about a recent wedding Alan and I worked together on just last week at the gorgeous Grand Hotel in Brighton for the wedding of Sally and Phil. Alan recommended Steelasophical and Sally secured our services on the strength of that recommendation and asked us to enhance the pre ceremony and drinks reception with some uplifting Caribbean musical vibes! I could write a lot about that day and working alongside Alan, but I quickly realised this was an opportunity to broaden the scope of my inspired thoughts, praise and recommendation. I first knew of Alan right after he had just won the Wedding DJ of the Year 2019 as part of the National Wedding Industry Awards. We have a highly respected mutual friend in common Tony Winyard who I saw congratulating and singing Alans praises and I knew instantly this was someone I needed to get to know and learn more about, as Tony is not someone who lavishes praise likely!! My instincts are rarely wrong, and since 2019, Alan has proved to be a source of inspiration, fountain of knowledge and someone I consider a friend. I have heard him say that he has been within the industry for over 40 years, There are many who state they have 40 years experience, but what they mean is they have done the same thing over and over again for 40 years (nothing wrong with that. Those are the people you would normally compare purely on how much they will cost you - or as I like to say ‘a nice to have expense”) With Alan though, you can compound that 40 years number several times over in respect to acquired knowledge, learning and experience. The relentless nature of developing new skills and to a high level is staggering - Dj, Compare, MC, Host, Celebrant - and for sure you would be amazed at the impact of one of his newest additions ‘The Love Story’. He writes articles for publications, guests speaks at conventions, travels internationally to attend trade shows, seminars and training camps, attends focus groups, is brand ambassador for one of the leading providers of physical and digital professional licensed music for DJ’s and is literally a source for daily inspiration to others all over the world via his words and deeds! If you are having a life changing or life milestone event and would like help with the planning, inspiration, organisation and entertainment aspects, then Alan is your man who’s talents are worth the investment that will continue to reap dividends in great memories for years to come. Some of the reviews he receives from couples would bring tears to your eyes as its amazing how he touches lives! Alan is the assured, experienced, trusted hand at the wheel that will help navigate you through your voyage. From initial contact through to final carriages. If Alan is so good, why did he not win Wedding Dj of the year more often? … they valued him so highly that they made him a judge, a task he continues to this day!! I believe Alan to be the type of person who embraces symmetry and chemistry. It is important for him to feel a connection with his clients and for them to have trust instilled in him. As many have testified, if you are able to secure his services, you will feel truly looked after and blessed from the experience. With much love and kindest regards Gary Trotman Steelasophical Steel Band

We booked Alan because we could tell from the first call that his service was totally different to what anyone else was offering. He was incredible, went above and beyond before our wedding and on the day itself. We were kept on the dance floor all night with a very eclectic mix of music, guided by a few choices we'd made in advance. Alan and Andrea absolutely made our day and handled a couple of caterer issues so that we could stay cool and focus on our guests. If you're still considering it, book a call with Alan and you'll know right away why he's a different class. Amazing DJ and top class master of ceremonies, our wedding wouldn't have been complete without them. Thank you so much.

Worth every penny and more! This man really knows what he is doing, experienced, dedicated and sophisticated. Alan met with us regularly over the run up to our wedding giving us advice when we needed and answers to questions we hadn't known we needed to ask yet! We specifically requested lots of country music and Alan absolutely understood, our guests has a great time and we all felt looked after which was all down to Alan.

We recently had the pleasure of having Alan and Ru as our DJ and Master of ceremonies for our wedding at Basing House, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with their services. From the moment the day began, everything ran seamlessly. Alan and Ru handled every detail with professionalism and grace, quickly resolving any issues that arose so we could fully enjoy our special day. One of the highlights was Alan’s beautiful love story, which he read before our first dance. It added a truly magical touch to the evening that our guests still talk about. Their energy and enthusiasm kept the celebration lively, and we are incredibly grateful for their hard work and dedication. We can’t thank Alan and Ru enough for making our wedding unforgettable!

Would definitely recommend this company to anyone! Absolutely amazing service! Completely transformed our venue for our wedding at the weekend, and it looked fantastic! Lorna is amazing, has everything from table decorations to chair covers, to the sweet cart- which went down a treat! James, the fun photographer with all his props was just fantastic! So relaxed and polite, and was so much fun! Lorna went above and beyond by helping the venue set up and pack down, and moving our centrepieces from the house to the marquee in the evening! Cannot thank Lorna and James enough!

I cannot recommend Lorna at The Wedding Package Company enough… she is a truly amazing woman inside an out and works to an extremely high standard, her attention to detail is exceptional. You put my mind at ease whenever I was worried and it was a pleasure working with you. You were always at the end of the phone to answer any questions I had! The room looked amazing and thanks to you, you made my dream set up come true! Can't thank you enough for everything you did to make our special day so perfect! You are incredible and we wish you all the best in the future. We will definitely be recommending you to all our friends and family x Mr & Mrs Chidgey ♥️ 💙💕 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟service from start to finish xx

I am so pleased that I chose Diamond Lush to do my daughters wedding. They were absolutely brilliant from the word go, guiding us with ideas and styles. They arrived at the venue promptly and had dressed the rooms to a spectacular standard...we walked in and our breath was taken away...they had a real 'wow' factor. The colours were perfect and both rooms looked tasteful and elegant. In addition to the decorations, we chose the light up letters for the disco room in the evening and they lent themselves to some brilliant photographs. Everything was collected early the following day so there was no effort from us except to bask in the beauty that Diamond Lush created. I would thoroughly recommend them if you want a stunning and hassle-free experience. Huge, huge thanks to Diamond Lush for making my daughters wedding perfect!

We can’t recommend Diamond Lush Events enough. Right from our first enquiry, through to the day of the wedding, the team were all amazing. So professional and extremely helpful. Put us right at ease at a stressful time. The venue looked stunning, more than we had hoped for, we had so many compliments on the flowers, especially the beautiful flower arch. We will definitely use them again for future events, and have recommended them to all our friends getting married soon! Thanks again team DLE x

Super happy with the service from Diamond Lush. They were always very fast to respond to emails which was very handy for wedding planning. We rented two large cherry blossom canopy trees and the lush flower wall. They both looked fantastic and we had a lot of compliments from wedding guests. They worked brilliantly as backgrounds for photos and for making the venue look pretty. Zero faff or stress with them delivering and setting up the items which they did on time and quickly. I would definitely rent items from them again if I organised another event.

Rating: 5 / 5

Where do I start. The DLE team are the best in the business. Nothing is too much trouble. The venue was decorated beautifully and I couldnt recommend them enough. The quality of the set up and products complimented our chosen venue perfectly. Highly recommend, thank you so so much Jen for making my wedding day and vision complete xxx

We hired Pop up Photo Box from Aston Dobson Events for our wedding. They were incredible and provided a great service with a fantastically large range of props for guests to use! We really appreciated the lovely book which guests were able to put a copy of their photos in and write a message. I can’t thank the girl running the photo booth enough as she pointed out that she hadn’t seen the bride or groom have photos and alerted guests to go get us before she packed away! We really appreciated this and her giving us time to get photos with our family and friends. We also love that we have received digital copies of all the photos! Amazing service which added so much fun to the evening. We highly recommend :)

We hired the Pop up Photo Box for our wedding reception and it was absolutely fantastic. The props and the back drop fit well to our theme (we got married in Vegas a month ago). Kayleigh (sorry if I got this wrong) was so friendly and helpful, the guests were also loving her fun vibe. We had as many prints as we wanted, which guests could stick in the signing book that was included. I was also sent all the photos by WeTransfer just in case any were lost and I can see all the pictures taken on the night! Would definitely recommend.

Having the pop up photo box at our wedding just made the reception! Our guests absolutely loved it and we captured some amazing memories from using the booth. Aston was really quick and informative when we spoke on email and the lady who was the attendant on the night (apologies I didn't grab her name) was amazing and seemed to be enjoying helping us take some great and hilarious photos. Thank you so much for making our day so memorable.

Pop Up Photo Box was an amazing addition to our wedding celebration!! The guests absolutely loved it, and we have loved looking through our guestbook at all the different photos! Aston was brilliant; he replied promptly, nothing was too much trouble and he made sure everything ran smoothly on the day. Charlie was our attendant for the day and she was incredible!! She had wonderful energy, interacted with the guests and made sure everyone had so much fun. There was a wide selection of props and it was such a hit, people kept going back again and again! I cannot recommend Pop Up Photo Box enough!

5 stars are not enough! From the day I met Jodie she put my mind at ease! I didn't have a clue where to begin planning a wedding, Jodie patiently sat down with me (and my Pinterest board) and went through everything. Jodie made examples of the centerpieces I had shown her in our colour scheme and they were exactly what we had wanted. Closer to the date Jodie met with myself and my husband and made sure we had everything we needed and reminded us of things we'd forgotten along the way. Throughout the whole process Jodie was never pushy for us to spend more money and worked alongside us with our budget. On the day everything was beautiful and the time and effort spent on every little detail was obvious. I would recommend event themes for any occasion and will definitely be using them again for future events! Thank you!

I attempted a wedding fair at the holiday inn and event Themes immediately caught my eye the table display looked beautiful and I knew I I wanted them to decorate our venue. Unfortunately our wedding got cancelled three times down to covid but jodie was amazing and kept in contact with me all the way through. On our wedding day the room looked incredible, the attention to detail was spotless and I couldn’t of been more happy it was perfect. Thank you so much jodie for making my wedding dreams come true 🥰

Jodie's talent and skill is breathtaking. Her artistic arrangements are just beautiful and her ability to truly listen to her clients makes the displays and the work she produces so personal and unique. She very kindly did all the flowers for our recent wedding in Hampshire and the comments we had regarding our bouquets, table displays and more, were endless. Thank you Jodie, sincerely for being the amazing talented person that you are. You are truly brilliant.

Jodie was an absolute pleasure to work with from the moment we began. She listened to what we wanted and made it happen, and it turned out better than we could have ever imagined. The flowers were stunning, the table decorations, the ramp decorations, the lanterns, the aisle and even down to her helping us make a U shaped table possible- was all perfect. Every single guest commented on how beautiful it was and complimented her work. Thank you to all at Event Themes by JW for the time spent setting up the on Friday and Saturday and for making the moving of flowers and relaying/ adding bar table’s absolutely seem less! I could literally go on and on about each and every aspect of the day… but I won’t. They truly exceeded expectations and made our dreams come true- contributing to making our wedding day the best day of our lives !

We had an amazing experience with John as our wedding DJ! From our first contact, he was incredibly efficient, responsive, and genuinely helpful, making the whole process so much easier. We opted for the DJ service, laser light, and the giant “Mr & Mrs Smith” light letters, all of which added a special touch to our evening. John kept the energy up all night with a fantastic array of music that appealed to everyone. The dance floor was always full, and our guests had a wonderful time. If you’re looking for a DJ who brings professionalism, great music, and that extra wow factor, we highly recommend John! Thank you so much.

Yesterday evening was a Diamond Wedding 60 years Celebration in Lyndhurst. John Smart, the DJ, was absolutely fantastic. The music played was perfectly chosen and really got everybody up dancing. His wonderfully charismatic style, smiling face, celebration announcements and cooperation were more than brilliant. Thank you John for making the evening extra special.

Invite events limited provided us with some light up letters for a party and I couldn’t fault them. They arrived and set up whilst I wasn’t at the venue, which was a nice surprise to arrive too. They picked the best spot to set up and it looked great. They were prompt to collect at the end of the evening. Would highly recommend.

Hazel & Natalie literally made our dreams come a reality!! They made the planning of decorating our venue (new place hotel) so easy right from the start of booking all the way up to our wedding day. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them & communication was absolutely amazing. We literally cannot thank them enough for making our day so perfect!

I had the pleasure of working with team for my Indian engagement. It was the first time they’d done an event of this kind but there was no hesitation and they knew they’d be able to create my vision. They were able to produce an elegant and breathtaking set up. They were organised, the best time keeping and reached out with options and alternatives if certain ideas weren’t doable within the budget! I’m so glad I chose them and can’t wait to work with them again!

We decided to use Events Co for our wedding at Appuldurcombe House after meeting Khia at two Wedding fayre’s at Medina & IOW Pearl. From the very start Khia had the answers in terms of power, toilets, tables, food, decor, staff, a bar and so much more specifically at our venue and had several meetings and phone calls with us over a 22 month period building up to the big day. Consistent calls and emails with Khia and her colleague Kirsty ensured everything we had booked and wanted was ready to go and nothing was ever forced or unreasonable, if anything the opposite. As the wedding approached they really came in to their own, checking on finer details such as what flavour ice creams we preferred on the ice cream bike and the positioning of the burger van (out of a horse box) they had also provided. On the Thursday and Friday like clockwork Khia and the team were there, everything as ordered and being set up exactly how we wanted it, at one point extra staff were there to help set up the tables and decorate, something we didn’t even expect! Every member of the team worked so hard to get our wedding ready and on the day they were great with on the day coordination from Khia themself and the canapés, two course lunch (3 choices for each course) and then our burger and chips van exceeded expectation and got great feedback from our guests! Khia and the team remained on hand all day and eve to ensure rooms were switched round and pudding tables were topped up as well as keeping the guests watered at the bar! Full of good spirits, banter, accommodating our guests needs and having pics with my dad and refusing my mums supply of apple pies she had got reduced the day before! The wedding went perfectly and Events Co made it what it was without doubt! They were legends all of them and a massive part of our day being what it was. Thank you so much Adan & Harriet!

Khia & Kirsty @ The Events Co were so helpful in making sure our wedding ran smoothly this Summer! They took care of furniture, catering, staffing, on the day co-ordination and moral support!! No request or question was too much and they were so amazing at making sure we had everything perfect for us - it really was the best day! Kirsty’s on the day coordination was absolutely amazing and made sure we stuck to our timings throughout the day and we always had a drink in our hands! Thank you so much, we would absolutely recommend The Events Co xxx

We had the pleasure of working with Kirsty, Khia and the entire team at Events Co. for our wedding, and their contribution was nothing short of extraordinary. From the start, we received the most professional and honest service. We appreciated that nothing was forced on us and we could pick exactly what we needed for our big day. Nothing was too much trouble and whatever we requested along the way was met with a smile and was delivered efficiently. They supported us closely the entire time and helped us with the entire set up of the venue and organised everything to run smoothly the weeks leading up to the wedding. From our first meeting we got the comforting feeling that they genuinely care for each of their clients and understand what you are visioning easily within couple of minutes. We would recommend them to be hired as your wedding coordinators as they are the best in the events field and would give you the personal touch and care that you need especially at some of the most stressful weeks before the big day. Communication smooth and efficient throughout the planning process, and they were always prompt with in addressing our questions and concerns. Even when there were few stressful moments, Kirsty and Khia already though ahead and had a solution for every issue that occurred or may have occurred. On set-up day everyone went above and beyond to make everything look beautiful and better than what we even imagined. A big shout out to Koo, who designed all our stationary and put up with all of our demands even until the week before printing. We would also like to mention that everything we hired was in great condition and the furniture looked great when all set up. Thank you all for the endless support and your friendly and professional service! We will keep recommending you again and again! Best wishes, Pavleta & Ashley

We used The Events Co for our wedding at New Barn Farm this summer and could not recommend them enough. Their furniture/crockery hire service was so seamless with delivery the day ahead of when we started set up which gave us plenty of time, the catering was exceptional - they worked with us to create a bespoke BBQ menu and all the guests commented afterwards how great the food was - and the team’s waiting and bar staff were so accommodating and friendly. But Kirsty’s on the day coordination was by far the star of the show and something I would recommend to any couple. Nothing phased her - specific guest requirements, room change overs, even last minute change of plans due to the weather - she made our day run so smoothly and we’ll be forever grateful!

Great venue, excellent customer service. Had my daughter's 16th birthday party here for friends and family. Everyone that I had dealt with at the club were very helpful and friendly. Special mention to Keri who was on the bar she was just fantastic. Definitely will use this venue in the future and would recommend. Thank you for all the staff who helped make this such a special event for my daughter.
