John and the team were absolutely fantastic! They were incredibly responsive to all my emails and questions leading up to the event. We hired 360 photobooth, lettering and silent disco. On the day, they were on-site exactly when promised, and handled all my queries with patience and a smile, even when I was a bit indecisive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use their services again. Thank you so much Invite Team!

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.

We hired large letters spelling ‘MR & MRS WILLIS’ for the dance floor of our wedding. They were perfect and just what we had in mind. Really added to the photos! We were very impressed with how easy delivery and collection was. Thank you so much!

I used Elizabeth James for a New Year’s Eve party I was working on for Raggy&Boo. I ordered a glitter backdrop and multiple orb balloons as well as a balloon arch, all were absolutely brilliant. Leading up to the event the correspondence was perfect as well as on the day of the installation. The team were on time and quick to setup. I will certainly use Elizabeth James again.

Fabulous service, highly recommend. Elizabeth James Events responded to our last minute request for some customised balloon decor to help us celebrate our corporate 20th anniversary. Their response to my initial query was very prompt and they worked with me to take my initial idea and turn it into something wonderful, despite the short turnaround time. The service from start to end was excellent, with great communication, professionalism and a great delivery and setup service on the day. We've booked with them for our Christmas event too, and I know we won't be disappointed. Very pleased, thank you.

We adored everything about having Elizabeth James Events be apart of our Wedding. Everything provided looked amazing and we were so happy with it, especially the Festoon Frame. It created the cozy atmosphere we wanted for the ceremony and the show stopper backdrop for us at the wedding breakfast. It then was perfectly positioned for our evening guests as a backdrop photo op, so a real focal point throughout the day! Thank you for letting our florist add the flowers on, it was simply perfect! The light up love letters were a great feature for the dancefloor, and the light up love heart made a stunning addition to our decoration at the sweet table we had. The communication before was also spot on - with prompt replies and being so helpful answering all our questions.

We used Vanessa for room decor and flowers. She was absolutely brilliant and the room and flowers were both beautiful. She took the time to help us be creative and help see what colour schemes worked and different things she can do to the tables. We really appreciated this as its quite an overwhlemong thing to plan! She was very professional and contact was really easy. Vanessa made our day very special and stress free! I highly recommend using Vanessa. Thank you so much

I have used Vanessa several times over the years as she is so reliable, professional and always goes above and beyond to make everything perfect. I first used Vanessa on my wedding day, she did my hair, the bridesmaids and even flower girls. She put us all at ease and was great with the kids. She also provided us with some decor for the wedding ,, and this was amazing. The items were beautiful but also so helpful having her as part of the set up to then relay back during our hair that all www looking beautiful at the venue. I have just gone back to use Vanessa for our baby shower. She designed bespoke stationary as well as providing balloons. It was honestly all so beautiful and can’t recommend her highly enough. I’ll definitely be contacting her for my little girls first birthday

Vanessa, Jane and team were absolutely brilliant for our wedding in May! The flowers were beautiful, better than we imagined. I was so pleased with how my hair and make up looked, it was perfect. My bridesmaids and mum were also done beautifully. They also designed our welcome sign, table plan and place cards. They were reliable, timely and very good value for money and also made sure I had thought of all the little extras! I would 100% recommend them!!

We booked Vanessa after meeting her at a wedding fayre. She helped and supplied us with invitations, centre pieces and top table decorations, bouquets and button holes as well as hair and make up. Contact was easy and we were able to meet with her and the florist to discuss what we were looking for. Our wedding breakfast room looked beautiful and the flowers and centre pieces really brought a vision to life. Thank you

There’s not enough words that can describe how amazing Southend barns is as a wedding venue. We were lucky enough to have Olivia as our wedding event manager from the first meeting right through to the day itself and she blew us both away with how amazingly she managed everything for us. Southend barns have a truly personalised service which makes you feel so special, even though they are incredibly busy and managing many weddings it never felt like that! Olivia gave us the most perfect day, working with all our suppliers and ensuring everything ran seamlessly so we could truly enjoy and soak up every moment. The venue is absolutely beautiful, I’ll never forget the emotions I felt seeing the barn set up for our wedding breakfast and the ceremony room the morning of my wedding - it was pure joy to see our wedding vision come to life by the incredibly talented event team! The food and drinks service was also incredible, we received non stop compliments from guests. We truly can’t thank Southend Barns enough for the experience they gave us, we would HIGHLY recommend the wedding venue and wish we could do it all over again!!

Oh my goodness - where do we even begin, I don't think we will ever be able to thank you enough! From start to finish, Olivia and the team at Southend Barns have been nothing short of perfection. You ensured every single detail was executed flawlessly, and despite storm Darragh making an appearance on our wedding day, you made adjustments and handled it so that we didn't have to worry (Thank you so much for wrapping me in blankets so I didn't get hit by the rain / wind!) The food, was utterly sublime, so many of my guests have contacted me to compliment the food as well as the decor in the barn - it looked absolutely stunning. We had the best wedding at Southend and I couldn't recommend it enough!

We recently had the pleasure of getting married at Southend Barns over the Christmas period, and it was incredible. We were told when venue hunting that you’d know as soon as you found ‘the one’ and we got that feeling immediately during our tour of Southend Barns well over a year ago. The staff (particularly Kelly and Olivia) made us feel welcome and looked after straight away. The whole process of wedding planning went so smoothly and felt completely professional from start to finish. The venue staff were always available and responsive to any queries we had in the lead up to the wedding, and we had multiple planning sessions/ catch ups to make sure the day went without a hitch. Roots catering were simply exceptional. The menu-tasting evening was fantastic for getting a feel of the venue all dressed up, and we felt spoilt for choice with the selection of amazing food available. Our only regret was not being able to pick it all! Our guests commented that it was the best wedding food they’d ever had! On the day, Kelly and the team had the events running like a well oiled machine. Considering we’d not been to tonnes of wedding previously, and there were multiple things we were unsure of for the actual running/timings of the day, the team delivered on their promise of us “not having to look at a clock all day”. People were gently herded and directed exactly where they needed to be and when. If there ever was any issues such as spillages or smashed glassware, these were handled calmly and discreetly. Our guests were simply gushing about the venue, and we were so happy it turned out the way it did for a winter wedding. It’s such a versatile venue that looks just as stunning and cosy on a sunny summers day as it does on a slightly windy and drizzly cold winters day like ours. The venue is completely able to handle large numbers of guests (we had 90 for the day and 120 for the evening) without feeling too crowded. All in all, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this venue to anybody. Our winter wedding was simply magical and completely stress free thanks to the amazing staff. Our wedding day was without a doubt the best day of our lives and we owe a significant proportion of that to Southend Barns!

Wow, wow and wow! Where do we begin to even put into words how incredible Southend Barns were for our wedding. If you are looking for a gorgeous wedding venue in the South that has it all, you’ve just found it because these guys are at the absolute top of the game and are the best of the best, we are SO pleased we found Southend Barns and chose them to host our wedding. Southend Barns is such a stunning venue, and so much care goes in to every single inch of the venue, from the gorgeous barns, the outdoor space, the courtyard full of roses and the bridal suite to the grounds, its all kept to such a high standard. From the moment we stepped in to view the venue we fell in love, it has such a calming feel, everything was clean and high quality and this stayed consistent through every visit. We were looked after throughout out planning by the lovely Sophie who made us feel instantly welcome, at ease and she had it all under control, from start to finish she was so lovely and we are so grateful for all her help in the run up to our wedding. On the day our event manager was the amazing Kelly, who ensured the day ran seamlessly without us needing to do a thing, after months of preparation and crafting this was so appreciated as it meant we could sit back and enjoy the day to its fullest! After meeting Kelly the day before at our handover meeting, we both instantly felt in safe hands and nothing was too much trouble for her. All of the team on the day from the bar staff, waiting staff, Roots chefs and cleaners all made sure our guests and us were well fed and watered and all our guests commented on how incredible the food was! We are so grateful to the whole team at Southend Barns for making our dreams come true and helping us to have the day of our lives - not only just for us but for all our friends and family too. It was so special in every way and we are so thankful and pleased we chose Southend Barns for our day. Photos by Joanna Cleeve

We worked with Anouska at Raggy and Boo on two fantastic events during 2023. The first was a spectacular wedding for 250 guests and the second an equally impressive New Years Eve Party for the same numbers. We found both events to be well thought through, planned and delivered. The look and style complimented each event perfectly and the the management on the day was done in a calm and reassuring way. We hope to work together again soon.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

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

Where do I start? . . . . . We had a lovely marquee wedding at the end of August and, to allow us to fully enjoy the day, we went looking for a wedding co-ordinator to run the day itself (as we were doing all the organising ourselves leading up to it) - what we ended up with was the Mary Poppins of wedding co-ordinators (complete with bottomless bag ready for ANY situation that may occur). Suzanne was everything we could have hoped for and more. From our first meeting with her, she presented herself as professional, experienced, dedicated and a truly lovely person to boot. While we didn't hire her services leading up to the wedding, she still made sure that she kept in touch, giving us little snippets of assistance in terms of where we were with our plans, drawing up a very comprehensive list of information to help with the structure of the day and checking in with us. Her insight when she came on a site visit was invaluable, to the point that we changed our intentions for where our guests entered (and what we finished with was truly perfect as well as feeling very natural). I was also able to reach out to Suzanne for help with other services, as her list of contacts was vast and each one with a proven track record (otherwise she wouldn't have recommended them), and it was down to her help that we were able to find a staffing agency for the waiters we needed. Her contacts also came in very, very useful as, a week before the wedding, our evening food supplier had to drop out. Suzanne was actually able to find some alternatives for us at such very late notice. Suzanne also insisted on coming onsite the day prior to the wedding to make sure that she was completely familiar with the set-up and what needed to be done the next day eg: We could set the tables up but the cutlery, crockery & glassware was arriving the morning of the wedding. When we arrived at the wedding, we were greeted by Suzanne and a member of staff with a) umbrellas (thankfully only needed for all of 5 minutes) and a drink, which was a lovely touch and epitomised the high level of excellence that Suzanne works to. We walked down the lawn to the marquee and when we got inside, it was the most incredibly magical experience - Suzanne had made sure that everything was exactly as it should be; the tables looked fantastic, the cake stand was brimming and everyone was laughing and talking with a Pimms or lemonade! Throughout the whole day, everything ran so incredibly smoothly with Suzanne's firm hand on the tiller. At no point did the service any of the staff provided seem rushed, lacking, or in any way anything other than amazing and that was down to her supervision; she had everything prepped and planned from the teapots & cake plates to the toast glasses and brownies. With a plane to catch the next day for her own 20th anniversary, Suzanne went well beyond the call of duty and at least the last hour of her time was off the clock as she just wanted to make sure that everything was sorted before she left, leaving us with so much less tidying to do ourselves the next day - it was great to see someone so invested in making your day special. Thank you from both of us Amy & David xx

Anybody who is trying to find the solution on how to plan a succesful wedding, look no further. Booking Suzanne to help plan and orgasnise our wedding was the best thing we did. I can honestly say our wedding would not have been the same without her help. My wife and I could relax fully knowing Suzanne had everything under control on the day which made everything easy. I hope you make the same decision we did as you wont regret it!

Rating: 5 / 5

I can’t t explain how perfect Suzanne was from the beginning until the end of the wedding shoot day! Suzanne is very responsible, organised, careful and attended to all of our needs entirely, she was always aware of everything that was in the timetable, making sure everything worked fine and making the day so easy, relaxed and one memorable event. Highly recommended!

We hired Suzanne to organise my little sisters wedding. From the outset Suzanne was absolutely charming, knowledgeable, amazingly organised and clearly passionate about what she does. She took on board all of our ideas and used her experience and expertise to bring these to fruition. She was so much fun and had so many ideas and suggestions that we hadn't even thought of. The day was absolutely beautiful we couldn't of asked for anything better. Everyone was so impressed with the attention to detail and all the little extra touches. Thank you Suzanne we could not have done it without you.

I had the pleasure of using Eddie for my dad's funeral. he was exceptional in making what was a difficult situation easier to handle and process for our family, from the very start to the very end Eddie was there, and put together a wonderful eulogy of my father's life. The whole family thanks Eddie 🙌

Rating: 5 / 5

From the first time Eddie called, through all the preparation to celebrate Mum's life, the words of comfort, the fabulous way the services was conducted and Eddie's attendance at the wake to speak to family and friends, he was truly outstanding. Eddie helped Dad and me at our lowest, visited us at home spoke about mum and drew out all the stories about mums life he need to write a truly meaningful eulogy, something neither Dad or I could do at the time. The service was full of love and respect with a little humour which is what the family wanted. It really was a true reflection of mum, the person she was and the life she led. Eddie helped the family and friends, laugh together, cry together and celebrate a great life well lived together. Words cannot express of gratitude. Peter O

We had Stacey and her team as our on the day coordinators and honestly it was the best decision ever, I don’t know how we thought we would do it without them! The team think of everything and our day was so perfect and ran smoothly and honestly that was down to Stacey and her team, I can’t recommend them enough, we could actually relax and enjoy our wedding day, they were absolutely amazing and hands down the best money we spent on our wedding! ✨ thank you so much again Stacey! ❤️

We are so grateful to have had Stacey as our wedding coordinator – I honestly can’t say enough good things! We both agreed, that hiring Stacey was hands down one of the best investments we made for our wedding. We had the best day of our lives and having Stacey and Ali there on the day meant we could enjoy our day to the absolute max! From our very first meeting, it was clear that Stacey was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about making our day exactly what we wanted. Not to mention that we got on like a house on fire! Stacey was on hand to help with our planning when needed, I booked in a power hour call about 9 months out from the wedding which was exactly what I needed to keep me on track with planning. We had our final details call around 2 weeks before the wedding and it was the best feeling to hand over all of our suppliers to Stacey at that point, knowing it was all in hand and she knew exactly how we envisioned our day running. On the day of the wedding, Stacey and Ali went above and beyond. They handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day literally zero stress. Everything was considered and organised so well, from our quick-fire family photos to Stacey’s genius plan of doing a receiving line on the way out of the drinks reception to make sure our guests started to make their way to their seats on time. We received so many compliments from our guests about Stacey and Ali and how brilliant they were. The fact that we are still WhatsApp-ing 2 months after the wedding tells you all you need to know – Stacey genuinely cares about the couples she works with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stacey and her team, and if you are considering getting a wedding co-ordinator, just do it! Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable! Mr & Mrs G

As a fellow wedding professional, I can heartily recommend Stacey and her team to exquisitely coordinate your special day or event. I have worked on three events with Stacey, and looking forward to the next one! With Stacey, you can be assured of a real passion for your big day in expert hands!

I cannot recommend Stacey & her team enough! I worked with them for the first time last summer (although I had heard great things from other suppliers previously). It was effortless! Everything ran so seamlessly; nothing was too much trouble. They helped gather people for photos, which is always great! Such lovely people to work with, fun but professional; it felt like we’d worked together for years! I’d definitely recommend Stacey to my clients & urge clients to consider a wedding coordinator because Stacey went above & beyond for our couple & everyone else involved as well. Can we please have another wedding together soon! x

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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 🥰
