The Best Wedding And Event Planners in Botley, Hampshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Had the pleasure of working for Raggy and Boo on new years eve. The evening was at a private residence and looked absolutely amazing, the staff, catering, and music were absolutely on point and I could not fault at all, everyone worked to create a amazing atmosphere for the clients and their guests. I would definitely work with Anouska again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a experienced event planner that really goes over and beyond for their client's, her knowledge and contacts in the industry gives her clients the very best suppliers to make any event one to remember. Thanks for letting me be part of the fantastic new year's eve celebration and look forward to working with you soon. Alan Granville Hampshire wedding DJ

Anouska was a superstar. She managed the day of our wedding effortlessly and with a smile the whole time. It took a weight off our minds and allowed us to enjoy our special day. She also helped us massively in the lead-up to the day with all sorts of things

We worked with Anouska on a New Year's Eve party and couldn't recommend her more highly! She had a really clear overarching vision for the evening whilst also being open to suggestions from us. Everything was really well organised and the whole event was a great success. We look forward to working with Raggy&Boo again at some point.

We cannot thank Anouska from Raggy&Boo enough, every single element of our wedding was delivered to perfection in her capable hands. No job was too big or too small, she was ready and waiting for our entrance to the venue with a glass of champagne and a smile and was just the most wonderful, calm and competent energy. We really, truly, mean it when we say we couldn't have done it without her and we would recommend her to everyone.

I had an amazing experience at the Bridal Mill. My first appointment was a Tuesday evening and it was my first time trying on any wedding dresses so I was quite nervous. After phoning to give a heads up I would be late after being stuck in awful traffic, I arrived very flustered and quite stressed. Michelle greeted me and she was very understanding and gave an overview of which dresses were in which section so I could make the most out of the remainder of my appointment. I wasn't sure what kind of style I wanted which made it tricky to start with, but Michelle listened to what I did or didn't like about each dress I had tried on to help find the perfect style for me. After trying a style I really liked, I still felt something was missing. Michelle recommended a similar style with the same neckline for me to try. It ticked every box and was absolutely perfect. I knew after trying it that was my dress. I still had a couple of appointments elsewhere, but I wasn't made to feel uncomfortable about trying other boutiques. At my other appointments none of the dresses made me feel how I felt in the dress at the Bridal Mill and I booked a second appointment to try it on again. At my second appointment Michelle looked after me again and the minute I put on the dress I could feel myself beaming. I can't wait for my next appointment once my dress arrives!

I had an amazing experience at all of my appointments. I was a bit apprehensive before my first appointment but everyone was so lovely, I instantly relaxed. I felt completely spoilt for choice and actually loved so many of the dresses I tried on. As I was struggling to decide, the team pulled a dress I hadn’t seen that they thought I would like and of course, it was the one, instant tears! Huge thanks to Liz my bridal consultant, she was so lovely and she made my experience so special.

I absolutely love the Bridal Mill! Being a curvy girl I was super self conscious about going wedding dress shopping as I was worried nothing would fit or I would try stuff on and have a big hole in the back where it doesn't fit, but boy was I wrong! The Bridal Mill have multiple sizes, and we're absolutely amazing! I had a lovely lady called Michelle helping me, and she was great! I went in with the idea of having a tea length dress without a veil, but I tried on a tea length dress and hated it, so Michelle got something else, and I loved it! She was so good because I'd say 'I like this silhouette, but I don't like the neckline' and Michelle would go and get something else, and this continued a few more times until I got to my Yes dress! I felt so confident in the Bridal Mill, and everyone was so nice! If you are looking for a wedding dress please go to the Bridal Mill! You won't be disappointed

I first went dress shop at The Bridal Mill in January 2022 for my July 2023 wedding. The team were all so helpful and helped me to find the most perfect dress and hair accessory to match! From trying on the dress, to collecting the dress and then bringing it back for the alterations they really did make the whole experience extra special. I can not thank them all enough for how kind and patient they were throughout and really did make me feel at ease the whole time. July 2023 Bride💕

Right from the start Events and Co couldn’t have done more for us. From meeting with Khia when we just needed someone to make us feel calmer to the big details of organising everything. We loved how honest they were with everything about our wedding and bringing out ideas to life. The food on the day was also incredible, with pretty much everyone speaking to us after about how amazing our wedding food was!!! And then our coordinator Kirsty, she honestly made us feel like our wedding was the most important day she had ever been on. As I Arrived she was even carrying my nephew ,who had already taken to her, to pass her to my sister ready to goo down the aisle. She couldn’t have helped more to make sure everything went seamlessly and not just this but throughout the day she was so smooth that she just made everyone fall in love with her and even sent us some pictures and videos the next morning that she’d got for us ! She worked amazingly with all the suppliers and we honestly didn’t have a thing to worry about all day! I couldn’t recommend this company enough and will continue with everyone that I know getting married or married handing an event from health forward. Thank you so so much for making our day the BEST ever!

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 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!

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. Communication was brilliant throughout with Kirsty, and no question or request was too much! The styling for our special day ticked every single box for us, and the venue staff and even the registrar kept saying they had never seen New Place Hotel styled so well. The colour scheme and style we had imagined in our heads - Kirsty and the team made it happen! From start to finish a 5 star service and I would highly recommend!

Kirsty and her team were amazing! We wanted a simple and elegant feel to our wedding and they delivered just that! Every detail however big or small was thought about! They really did make our vision come to life even our guests made comments about how amazing it looked! We would absolutely recommend The House Of Styling. Thank you so much again! Hannah & Chris

A wonderful team! Kirsty and the House of Styling decorated our venue in August. They were so helpful in the run up to our wedding, creating a moodboard for us so we could visualise how everything would look. We were blown away with how incredible everything looked on the day, they really brought our vision to life and all of our guest commented on how amazing everything looked. Everything was stress free and we would highly recommend Kirsty and her team at the House of Styling!

When we first visited House of Styling's barn, we were blown away by the range or different items and themes available to rent for our special day. Kirsty took care to listen to what we wanted and came up with a quote for us that we were able to amend as time went on and we knew more about what we wanted for our wedding. Kirsty always responded to emails quickly and was willing to have phone calls too for me to run through questions before the big day. I worried about being "in the way" when we were putting out our own few bits and pieces or collecting them and she was very reassuring that it was our day and that they were there to support us. Kirsty and Laura make a great team and seem to really care about the detail of what they're doing, I was so pleased with the work that they had done and the care and effort they put into making sure our venue looked just like I imagined!

Kate was our wedding DJ and honestly we couldn’t have asked for better. After rearranging our wedding with her on multiple occasions and confusing her initially with our music taste (sorry Kate!) she not only pulled it off but she smashed it out of the park. She showed off her talents as not only a great DJ but as a makeshift seamstress when she helped adjust my dress so I could get through the first dance! Kate was lovely and we would definitely recommend her!

Kate was absolutely amazing and professional from the moment she arrived there. Despite a rather big crowd at the wedding, she came to find myself and my wife and greeted/congratulated us when she arrived. The first dance and the follow up song was the most beautiful part of the wedding and it’s all thanks to Kate. Then we did the Wedding Anniversary dancing game which was really fun. Would highly recommend Kate as a DJ to your wedding, she’s got some great playlists! Thank you again Kate! Michael and Dawn ❤️

Kate did a brilliant job at our wedding reception. The music choices added to the requests we provided were perfect. Everyone had an amazing night. Thank you Kate and we highly recommend 👍

Kate was unbelievable at our wedding reception. Everyone was dancing all night long, her music choices were fantastic. She is lovely & professional. Highly recommend.

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 ❤️

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!

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 used All Parties and Events for our annual awards dinner. This is our flagship yearly event and always have in attendance the great and good of our industry so it is very important to make a good impression. We could not have been more delighted by the outcome. Peter provided an exceptional and professional service right from day one all the way through to the final minute of the event. His knowledge of sound and vision were instrumental in making the awards dinner as exciting and memorable as they were. After the event I received several emails from those who attended all of whom mentioned the great staging, lighting and music. We would have no hesitation in recommending Peter and his team to anyone planning a corporate event of any size.

Thank you to Mal from All Parties and Events for being a brilliant DJ at our wedding at East Horton. We had people on the dance floor all night long and having a great time. There was many people coming up to us saying how the music was great and “their era”! Mal went through all different generations making sure there was something in there for everyone. Mal was always very friendly and the best DJ we’ve seen! He also provided an extra light service which helped set the mood in the venue and allowed us to have the most perfect first dance. Big thank you to Michelle who dealt with the bookings for the DJ & Photo Booth

Just to say a massive thank you to Michelle for the organisation, and to our DJ Carl for our recent dinner event in Southampton. It was hugely reassuring to have Carl on site as our DJ. He went above and beyond the role asked of him. Thoroughly recommend their services.

So glad we booked All Parties & Events. Tony was a brilliant DJ, we met with him by video call before to talk through music styles, any special songs we had and also any type of music we didn’t want to hear, he was very professional. The dance floor was busy all night, he knew what songs to put on next to keep the party going and to keep everyone on the dance floor and also get all ages on the dance floor. We both said how much of an amazing job Tony did and so many guests said the same too! We liked that there was no rush to do our first dance, he just said to let him know when we were ready and it worked really well as it gave the chance for evening guests to arrive. Also loved the option for guests to upload photos on the DJ screen at the front of the dance floor, getting sent those photos the next day was very funny! Thank you!

Richard and his team were fantastic and proactive throughout the day. We booked Richard and his team for our wedding to serve Paella. A few months before the day, Richard gave us a sample of the food and went through every detail of the serving process, even helping us with other aspects of the day. I would highly recommend booking PP catering.

Hired PP Catering for my wedding and was more than happy with the service. The quailty of the food was very good and the price was very reasonable. The wedding venue was a dry hire meaning we had to organise everything ourselves. PP Catering helped out with the food, furniture, kitchen equipment, cutlery and glassware, mobile bar, evening drinks, evening food, toilet cabin, set up and breakdown. They worked effortlessly with other suppliers such as the dancefloor hirer, band and wedding coordinator. Before the wedding they visited our home address so we could try their food, attended venue recces with us and were very flexible to our changing needs. Including last minute changes to some guests food and seating plan. Overall the wedding was quite ambitious. We had approx 100 guests and they all left happy. I would highly recomment PP Catering.

Richard and his team catered for our evening wedding reception for 100 guests. The staff were efficient and friendly and the food was wonderful. All of our guests also commented how lovely the food was. Richard was excellent with the lead up to wedding giving me lots of ideas of what we could have and different price options. We would highly recommend P P catering and events.

We were blown away with the service provided by the P&P catering team. From booking to the day itself, we were provided with an amazing service. The food was absolutely amazing and created such a great atmosphere with the paella being cooked in front of everyone. The evening food was also brilliant and all the guests were very well fed! Aga and her team took such good care of us, and made the day run completely seamlessly. Communication throughout the build up with Richard was great and he was able to help us plan our perfect day. Thank you so much, we would recommend them to everyone planning a big event!

We've had the pleasure of working with Melanie and Danielle on a number of weddings. They are genuinely friendly and exceptionally organised. From a supplier perspective, they understand a supplier's requirements and that makes things so much easier. I will always be grateful to Danielle for handing out bottles of ice cold water on a scorching hot day! Bellissimo Weddings are exceptional at what they do.

We worked with Melanie for our wedding at Came House last year, and can honestly say she is one fantastic woman and the best wedding planner we could have hoped for. She is so experienced and organised, gave great advice throughout whilst listening to all our ideas. Her knowledge of the area and suppliers (as well as all her hard work) really helped to bring our vision to life. This was no easy feat as we had quite a few parts to fit into the weekend, but Melanie made it work! We had the most incredible weekend of our lives and we couldn’t have done it without Melanie, Bellissimo and the team at Came House.

I honestly can't find the words to explain how grateful I am to Melanie & Dani for their help, expertise, guidance and support for our big day. These guys are incredible... the work they put in to your wedding makes you feel like you're the first and only wedding they're organising. The tips, guidance and support all the way through, incredible communication, expert planning and pristine execution; all from the first visit to the wedding day. Melanie became such a big part of our experience and all my family and friends commented on how incredible she was. She understood our vision and did whatever she could to make it perfect for us. You will be in expertly safe hands with these guys as your planners. Thank you for everything

Danielle was the venue manager and planner extraordinaire for our wedding at the English Oak Vineyard this summer, she did such a wonderful job at ensuring everything was well coordinated and thought through, gave great advice and honestly went above and beyond to make sure that our day went perfectly. I couldn’t recommend Bellissimo more highly, and a huge thank you to Danielle for making our wedding so magical. The biggest heartfelt thank you from us ❤️
