Best Event Planning Services in Hampshire (2025)

Rating: 5 / 5

We could not speak more highly of The Grange as a venue. The team support you right from square one becoming advisors, supporters, cheerleaders, rational but creative thinkers and friends. They have excellent supplier recommendations from caterers (Becka Cooper is a-class), florists (Wildbunch are so wonderful) and tech leads (Peachy Productions know the building like the back of their hand), to name a few. The nearby Abbotstone Farmhouse and Clock Tower make for superb guest accommodation where every commodity and need is thought of. We honestly can not fault any of it and as an events lead for almost a decade, the experience of planning our wedding there was just top tier. We adore them all and recommend it to everyone planning a wedding, party, away day, celebration and more!

Absolute perfection-- we LOVED our stay in the charming Clock Tower. Gorgeous and easy location, excellent amenities (great window treatments for letting in the sun or closing for privacy, very comfortable beds, crisp linens, full fridge, dishwasher, washer/dryer, well-stocked kitchen, multiple bathrooms with giant tub or rainfall shower), and everything you need for a short or long visit. There is so much to do in the area, and coming back to the apartment at night under the stars was magical. Tara and her team were so proactive and welcoming: definitely 10/10. They even provided welcome treats and local recommendations for children. It was the best stay of our whole trip. Thank you for a wonderful time-- the kids are asking to come back for a longer stay as soon as possible!

The Grange was the first venue we viewed and, from the moment we arrived, we knew that this would be the place where we would celebrate our wedding! Julia made us feel so welcome from our first meeting and, throughout the planning process, we were incredibly well looked after by the whole team. Tara was brilliant in helping us to fine tune the wedding weekend - we booked all of the on-site accommodation to allow our family, plus the bridesmaids and groomsmen to celebrate with us for the whole weekend, which was the best decision ever! A separate review for the accommodation will follow. They also recommended amazing suppliers, such as Becka Cooper (our joyful caterer who is a certified culinary genius) Ward-Brown (our incredible and fun-loving photographer who captured the attached photos), Wildbunch (our wonderful floristry team who made the most spectacular floral arrangements), Whitwams (who used thoughtfully arranged lighting and sound to bring the Grange to life) and Allens (who provided the pristine table linen and beautiful crockery and glassware). Now, for the wedding day! The emotion I felt when our vintage bus bumbled along the driveway and we got our first glimpse of the Grange is difficult to put into words, but (as cheesy as it sounds) it was a dream come true. When we arrived, Julia, Tara and Amanda were waiting with glasses of fizz and beaming smiles. The two years of teamwork had paid off! 💞 Throughout the wedding reception, all three wonderful ladies were mingling with our guests, attentively looking after us all and ensuring everything went smoothly. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the time of our lives all day and night. They even gave us a personalised card and a bottle of The Grange sparkling wine! They also captured their own wonderful footage, which they made into a reel for us to enjoy when we woke up the next morning. Right up until Midnight, the whole team waiting staff, lead by Amanda, were kind and attentive to all of our guests. We have had so many compliments since the wedding about the Grange team and their attention to detail, warmth and friendliness. They have also been described by multiple guests as ‘the best looking staff team’ they have ever seen! We honestly feel as though we have gained a new family since we booked our wedding two years ago, the Grange experience is like no other and we will be forever grateful for it! ✨

We hired the Lake House Cottage for a strategy away day, evening and stay over. The space worked perfectly for both the group strategy sessions and social side in the evening. The bedrooms are extremely comfortable and the surroundings serene and calm, perfect for stepping back, building trust and discussing the future. The team at The Grange were excellent, the food delicious and the break was an overall huge success, I can’t recommend this venue more highly. Ed W

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

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!

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

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.

Lorna set up the floral love letters, doughnut wall and sweet cart for our wedding reception and we also hired the post box. She was so lovely and friendly and everyone loved the sweets and doughnuts.

My Husband and I could not recommend Lorna( The wedding package company) enough she did the most perfect job making my wedding look like a dream, she was so helpful in helping pick the perfect decor and she is really lovely and easy to talk to.

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

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!

The most incredible venue in a beautiful setting! We got married here in 2019 and it was perfect! Relaxed atmosphere, beautifully run and a perfect blank canvas to make truly yours. This venue has a very special place in my heart

We had our wedding at The Barn at Avington last week and it was honestly perfect. The venue has the perfect mix of outdoor and indoor space to personalise and make your own and the location is beautiful. Beth is absolutely amazing and will help make your ideas come to life! We couldn't thank her enough for helping make our wedding day the day it was. It was such a fun, relaxed day and we've had (and still getting) so many compliments from our friends and family.

My daughter and son in law got married here this August 2023. It was brilliant, Beth who is in charge was fantastic and the rest of her team. Wonderful place for any celebration.

You have to book The Barn at Avington for your wedding it is a stunning venue by the river Itchen with beautiful scenery and most importantly you get Stacey Page help you with your big day!! As a person who loves organisation, watching Stacey and her team work was SO SO SO SO satisfying. They were smooth and seamless and without them our day wouldn’t have been as special as it was. All the stress and anxiety of a DIY wedding just went away on the big day when Stacey and her team took everything out of our hands. Stacey we cant thank you and your team enough we’ve loved every second of working with you. Book The Barn if you want to create your own special day at one of the most beautiful locations with the best wedding co-ordinator ever!!!!! Thanks again! The Brockway's

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!

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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!

Amazing! Location was impeccable as was the lodge we stayed in. Wide open doors to the lake with your own private rowing boat for milling around. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and gave our family a lot of knowledge of the fish bred on the farm which was very interesting. They have paddle boards, kayaks ect all included and wild swimming which both we and the children loved (first time ever in a river!) Can't wait to come back. Also the beds were beyond comfortable. Well done all.

I recently had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful wedding at Avington Park, as a wedding photographer, Avington Park was an absolute dream location to capture stunning, timeless images. The elegance of the historic manor house, with its grand architecture and beautiful details, creates an incredibly romantic backdrop for every moment. I’m looking forward to capturing more weddings here in the near future! Avalon Photography

From the moment we stepped onto the grounds of Northbrook Park, we knew it was the venue for our dream wedding. Surrounded by hundreds of acres of picturesque land, the venue itself offered ample space for our 110 guests to comfortably enjoy both the ceremony and reception. Northbrook Park's charm goes beyond its spaciousness. The on-site accommodation provided a convenient and relaxing option for our guests, while the freedom to personalize the wedding day allowed us to truly reflect our unique style. The staff was incredibly helpful, promptly replying to emails and answering all our questions with enthusiasm. Our wedding day at Northbrook Park was absolutely unforgettable! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the breathtaking beauty of the venue, the abundance of space to move around and celebrate, and the exclusivity of having the entire place to ourselves. It truly felt like we were in our own private world, surrounded by loved ones. The presence of charming peacocks and other animals on the site added a unique and whimsical touch, perfectly complementing the overall magic of the day. We cannot recommend Northbrook Park highly enough to couples seeking a stunning and customizable wedding venue for their perfect day.

Chloe Caldwell Photography - As a Hampshire-based wedding photographer, Northbrook Park is a wedding venue I adore! The ballroom ceremony space is a photographer's dream and creates the most beautiful light for ceremonies. The house is a spectacular, elegant backdrop for wedding portraits. I can't wait to return for more weddings soon. - Chloe Caldwell Photography

Attended a wedding at Northbrook Park and spent a night in one of their lodges. First of all the wedding venue was fantastic from the wedding hall to the dining room and evening entertaining area. Staff were very attentive and helpful throughout and the menu chosen and served was very nice. The lodge accommodation was a really good set up. The lodge consisted of 3 digital lockable private en-suite bedrooms, 2 upstairs an 1 down with a shared lounge/dining room/kitchen on ground floor. The accommodation spec was high and included everything you would need to cook meals if desired. We travelled to Northbrook Park from Devon but hear that it has a good reputation as a wedding venue. No idea how much the accommodation cost as it was part of the wedding package. Definitely recommend as a venue for that special day. Very impressive.

What can I say about this company and Jennifer in particular that will do them justice. Nothing, but I will try! This is a company that will go above and beyond to make your special occasion great! Jennifer was professional, helpful and kind through all the planning and execution stages for my wedding on the 2nd of August. My guests were also very impressed with what they saw. I highly recommend this company!

Beyond Expectations provided decoration service for my wedding ceremony and reception dinner. I had a consultation with them where I explained my vision. This was captured to perfection on the day. Each detail from the centrepiece to table plan decor exceeded my expectations. Our guests gave us positive comments on how everything was set out. Overall Beyond Expectations provided a great service throughout the wedding planning stage and I would 100% recommend.

I was so happy to find a shop like this which supplied all wedding related decor and props! Jennifer was very easy to deal with and even managed to organise the delivery of the items the day before the wedding as it was much more convenient for us, so thank you for that! Will definitely recommend to friends in future!

Rating: 5 / 5

Jennifer and her team were very easy to deal with. In the planning stages, she knew exactly what I envisioned and new quote requests were never any bother for her. When I finally decided on what I required she made the experience very easy. She arrived on time and seamlessly made the venue beautiful. So much so that everyone was in awe of the decoration, draping and the cake. So I am so pleased I found Beyond Expectations and hope to you use them again in the future!
