Well what can we say? Kayleigh at Pretty Events was AMAZING! We can't thank her enough for the effort she put in to making the décor at our wedding at Hall Place just perfect. From the moment we met Kayleigh at her showroom we knew we had met someone who understood us and knew the look we were aiming for and she so delivered on everything. The chair coverings, lanterns and flowers in the room where we got married looked just as we imagined/hoped it would look and the main hall for our reception was just WOW, so much so that it actually left us speechless (which is a miracle in itself as Kayleigh will confirm as we do like to talk!). Nothing was ever too much trouble for Kayleigh and for that we will always be so grateful as our day was just perfect. If we ever need any décor for a party or future event then we will definitely be calling on Kayleigh as it will be like getting in touch with a friend. Thank you for everything Kayleigh as you are a star :-) Love Sam & Simon xxx

I cannot rate this company highly enough. Kayleigh is just wonderful. It was a pleasure to work with her on our wedding journey. She is warm, friendly and really helpful. The customer service is excellent. I really recommend visiting her showroom as the face to face experience is lovely and really assists in creating a vision. We really wanted a starlit canopy at our venue but the type we wanted hadn’t been installed there before so this was a mammoth task for Kayleigh and her team. They worked so hard to make it happen and I know a huge amount of work went on behind the scenes. She really went above and beyond to make our vision come to life and remained conscious of our budget throughout. If you are looking for a professional, friendly, reliable service, definitely consider Pretty Events Co.

I would highly recommend the Pretty Events Company. Kayleigh was a delight to deal with as we planned our wedding. We really didn’t have much of a clue about event dressing so Kayleigh met us at the wedding venue (The Vines) and gave us some great ideas and inspiration. On the wedding morning, Kayleigh transformed the venue which made our day really special. Thank you Kayleigh x

We can’t recommend Kayleigh highly enough, she’s absolutely fantastic. She listened (both to any thoughts and dilemmas!), provided excellent ideas and helped bring our vision to life. So personable and an absolute pro, thanks so much for bringing our big day to life, wouldn’t have been the same without you!!

Chic Weddings did the bouquets, buttonholes/lapels & venue styling for my daughter & new son-in-law's wedding on 20th July 2024. The top table flowers & hand tied bouquets on each table were gorgeous. Lots of comments about the bride & bridesmaids bouquets which were absolutely stunning. The tables had silver crackle vases & tea light holders on them, & we had a sheer curtain backdrop against the window behind the top table to frame it. I can highyly recommend Chic Weddings, the team are warm, friendly & very helpful; they reply quickly to calls & emails, the whole planning process was smooth & stress free. Wonderful, thank you!

The team at Chic Weddings & Events are experts in their craft. I love how they effortlessly style a space to make it both beautiful but also practical for how a wedding reception should function. Fantastic work here at Marleybrook House.

Chic arranged the flowers for my wedding at Hayne House and created the most beautiful bouquets and archway. They listened to my many and ever changing ideas, helping to make it a reality and put it all together. They even created mistmatched bouquets in colours that were sentimental to each bridesmaid, yet tied in with my bouquet and including all the colours and flowers that I liked. Thank you so much, everything was absolutely beautiful.

Chic were amazing! We hired them for our wedding flowers and they delivered. The consultation was perfect as Tammy listened to our vision of what we wanted. We were also able to adapt our choices as we started to have better visions as we engaged with other suppliers and saw various inspiration. The flowers lasted ages after the wedding, so the enjoyment could continue after the big day. I absoultely loved my bouquet with all the special flowers and it was great to be able to have one of my favourite flowers in there even though it was only at the start of the season. It also smelled great. May 24

Knowing that my desired wedding venue had no facilities to get ready at I was apprehensive about choosing the location (even though we had already fallen in love)! I was overjoyed to find out about The Pretty Prep Studios which was just around the corner and saved the day – a genius idea and perfect for wedding mornings! The studio easy to get to and is situated in a picturesque Oast house which is also surrounded by gorgeous scenery perfect for some pre wedding shots. It is also extremely spacious made up of three areas, an open space with sofas and four dressing tables for hair and make-up, a kitchen space with a dining table and a gorgeous room in the Oast of the building where outfits can be hung up and to get dressed in. Plenty of room to avoid being on top of one another and for dress reveals! Access to the studio can be as early as you like making the morning very relaxing as we had as much time as we wanted to get ready with no time constraints. This also allowed for suppliers to set up and be ready for our arrival. Sam's attention to detail ensures you have everything you could possibly need to make your wedding morning seamless and stress free – a fully equipped kitchen, steamer, emergency items to solve any issues (e.g. sewing kit!) and a generous bottle of fizz! If that wasn’t enough Sam was so lovely that she even popped up during the wedding morning to check if there was anything we needed – which was so thoughtful and very appreciated! I had the best time getting ready with my bridesmaids and loved ones ahead of my special day and I highly recommend the Pretty Prep Studio for an enjoyable, calm and memorable wedding morning! Thank you for everything - Mrs Calvert xx

Great location for getting married at the Secret Garden! So spacious with plenty of room for all your bridal party to get ready. My favourite part is the oast house itself, a lovely area for photos. Thank you Sam!

I got married last weekend & we were lucky enough to have The Pretty Prep Studios as our location to get ready. Now I had a big bridal party! I had 8 bridesmaids, 4 flower girls & 6 page boys. Only 2 of my page boys was with us at The Pretty Prep Studios, the rest met us at the church but that still meant that with me, our photographer, our videographer, our hair & make up artist, a hairdresser, another make up artist, my mum & all my bridal party, well at its fullest there was 21 of us inside this absolutely beautiful building & we still had so much space. Between the main area, the kitchen area & the oast dressing room there was no way we was on top of each other. This building is absolutely beautiful inside & out. The multiple make up & hair dressing stations meant we could have multiple people getting ready at the same time & we could all enjoy each other's company as we did so. Honestly we spent so much time laughing & smiling it was unreal. It is such a pretty & relaxed space & I can't tell you how much I enjoyed our morning here. Getting into my wedding dress in that beautiful dressing room & walking out of it to reveal to everyone was just absolutely magical. The photos & videos we have had from our photographer & videographer from our prep here are just beyond amazing. All the smiles are just testiment to how it was such a good place to be before getting married. Sam herself is absolutely amazing. She is so so friendly & lovely & she can not do enough to help you. She communicates amazingly & makes everything so stress free & run smoothly. I'm incredibly grateful for all the help you gave Sam & for being able to use your beautiful space to make so many amazing memories on the morning of my gorgeous wedding. Thank you so much. If you're considering booking The Pretty Prep Studios then please do. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely fantastic place for a bridal party to all get ready together in a light, clean and spacious area. Perfect for hair and make up artists with areas specifically for them to use with all their kit. The pretty prep studio is fantastic. It was the perfect start to the perfect day. Sam is brilliant. She let us leave everything there the night before, knowing we had a very early start. It allowed for a lovely calm morning, with complementary bubbles waiting in the fridge!

I would highly recommend Claire and the team at Creative Venue! They recently provided decorations for our wedding at The Gardens in Yalding. Everything was so beautiful and our guests loved it! Claire made the whole process so smooth and was always at hand to answer our questions and offer advice. We couldn’t have asked for a better service!

I had the best experience with the ladies that work at creative venue. They created the look I wanted to dress my wedding venue and provided the outdoor lighting too. I dear mainly with Beth however all the ladies on the day were incredible. They looked at cost effective options and were extremely helpful when there were changes to the plan/numbers. Very thankful to these ladies. I would recommend and wish you all the success.

Creative Venue are amazing. They brought mine and my husband's vision to life on our wedding day. I was so excited when I saw all of the decor set out in our wedding breakfast room. I'd like to say a special thank you to Beth (who we started our consultation with) and Jenny who took over once Beth left and was responsible for set up on the day. They listened to everything we wanted and it came together perfectly.

Claire and the team did a fantastic job of decorating our wedding venue. We started the process of organising the decorations and flowers back in May 2023. Claire was very helpful, giving us lots of suggestions on how we could achieve our ideas within our budget. Over time as other aspects of the wedding came together we continued to refine the plan, each time Claire was full of good advice and a happy smile. She was reassuring when the colour scheme did a full turn, after we failed to find bridesmaids dresses in the colours we needed, helping to hunt down just the right colour ribbon to keep my initial vision alive. On the day I knew Claire and the team had everything in hand and that when I finally saw the venue it would be exactly what we had planned. My maid of honour needed silk flowers due to her allergies and Claire and the team managed to match them beautifully to the real ones. If fact when they arrived I struggled to tell them apart. Thank you so much for bringing the personal touch to our venue that we wanted and for my wonderful flowers.

I sincerely enjoyed photographing a wedding at Wilderness in the summer of 2023. The team at Wilderness were incredibly friendly & helpful - I honestly couldn't fault them. The day ran superbly which is all a fellow wedding supplier could hope for! The venue's team were supportive, attentive and well-informed about the couple's plans/expectations which, ultimately, helped keep the day's events on track and everything running smoothly. Wilderness is a beautiful outdoor venue - perfect for couples looking for a wedding venue surrounded by trees, nature and woodland.

We had our wedding here in September 2024! What an incredible, special, different but magical place. All our guests were blown away by the venue. The staff were super helpful - from dealing with all our requests leading up to the day and helping us set up the day before. The the staff and event manager couldn't of been more perfect, friendly and fun on the actual day. This place will always be very special to us! Cannot recommend it enough.

For lovers of the outdoors, this has to be one of the coolest Kent venues for a wedding! Being a wedding photographer and lover of the outdoors myself, there's little better than having so much nature/space to tell such amazing wedding stories. Having all the guests walk through the meadows from the ceremony at the Boathouse to enjoying food under a serene woodland canopy is just such a joy to shoot! Also, keep an eye out for those amazing golden hours you get spoiled with in the meadow! Always adore coming back here to photograph!

Our dreams came true. What a fabulous venue with the most lovely, accommodating team working on site. Our family and friends had the most special day and so did we. Was everything and more!! Beyond beautiful setting, with beautiful people. Thank you to everyone at Wilderness for making it so special. Big love!

I have worked with Georgie on several events over the last year. I can hands down say she is the most organised and detail orientated planner I have worked with! Everything runs smoothly and stress free!! Looking forward to many more events together.

We were recommended to Ethereal Events by word of mouth. From the moment Georgie walked through our door we had every confidence she would organise, manage and deliver the most incredible party and sure enough she did. Her attention to detail is second to none. She is a great listener - her ability to pick up on our needs and style, knowing them even before we did. So often I asked her about something and it had all been sorted without us being involved. She evidently really cares about delivering an excellent service. Her network of contractors who helped physically create the party were second to none. All delivered on time without any fuss. They just got on with the job. We really enjoyed working with Georgie - she made it fun, taking all the stress away and just allowing us to enjoy the run up to the party and relax once it was over. Our party was everything we could have wished for and more. We couldn't recommend her highly enough. Georgie is a consummate professional with whom we look forward to working again in the future.

Great wedding venue for your rustic rural wedding theme. Must check it out if that's for you.

Rating: 5 / 5

Blimey I honestly think this is the best wedding venue out there - it could not have been more perfect for what we wanted, and Clare is just wonderful. All of our guests fell in love with the House Meadow - (with my bridesmaid saying she wouldn't get married anywhere else!) the venue is STUNNING, relaxed, fun, unique and such a great canvas to get creative with. We got married under the old oak tree, Clare let us turn her gazebo into a secret gin bar, we partied in the barn, put outdoor seating areas around the place, and sent floating candle boats off into the lake. It is honestly amazing value, because with Clare it felt like we had a wedding planner included (who was also just a great friend) guiding us through the planning & checking off of everything - as well as being supportive and so flexible with a 14 month delay and 4 postponement dates due to covid (!!). She could not have been more helpful and patient and lovely. Her staff are great, and they will look after you for the best day ever 💘 I couldn't imagine having done it anywhere else. Can we do it again please?

What a special place for a wedding. One of the best venues I have been to and subsequently one of the best weddings I have been to. On arrival, walking past the horses & stables, then welcomed by thier picturesque lake and finally greeted by friends inside a very handsome barn. The toilets were even amazing, with a window that would surprise anybody. A very rustic and vintage feel to the whole place. Everywhere plesently decorated with old furniture and accessories that worked so well with the venue, the day and the people who were there.

We recently had our Mum’s Celebration of Life at this gorgeous venue and it could not have been a more perfect send off for her. The barn and its setting is just picture postcard perfect 😍 and everyone said how beautiful it was - even including the toilets, which are so quirky and unique. Clare and her team could not have been more kind and helpful. They accommodated all of our requests and she gave really valuable advice the whole way through the planning process, helping to co-ordinate the funeral directors and catering, too. What could have been an incredibly sad and difficult day, turned out to be a wonderful celebration, exactly how Mum would have wanted. I could not recommend this place more! Thank you Clare for making it so special.

The venue is stunning, the organisation and communication was first class right from the start, we booked it immediately on our first visit. Tania and Sam made everything so easy and enjoyable for us. The castle is so magical and the staff so welcoming going over and beyond our expectations. They were happy to accommodate our requests (we wanted our friend to conduct the ceremony who is a registrar). And to have our dog with us - he had a great wedding day! We had many WOW moments especially in the little details (roaring log fire /home made rose petal confetti / raspberries in our champagne) the elopement team made our day the best! The cake , flowers, decorations and food were exceptional. All our friends and family have loved seeing Fleur’s amazing photographs of our 50 shades of pink elopement at Westenhanger Castle 🏰 . We would highly recommend the elopement service they offer.

Thanks so much to everyone in the E-Lope team and Tania at Castle Westenhanger, we can honestly say that our twilight wedding was the most romantic day/evening of our lives. Everything was just perfect, and they all took outstanding care of us. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful setting, and it felt like such a blessing to make our vows on those lovely grounds. The cake and the spread at our candlelight meal were gorgeous, and the flowers and all the decorations provided were simply stunning. Fleur Challis also did an amazing job with our photographs and we now have an album full of precious memories we can treasure forever. We can't rate this team of professionals highly enough. If you want a beautiful, intimate wedding experience tailor-made for you then look no further! Thank you again team E-Lope for helping organise the wedding of our dreams

We cannot say enough about Team E-Lope; without doubt, they put the "Special" into our Special Day. It genuinely was more than we hoped for. From the initial email to our Wedding Day they made it so easy but also so Wow!!!! Sam, Tania, Fleur, Ruth, Serena, we cannot thank you enough. Your attention to detail is exquisite and your enthusiasm for what you do is infectious. Our cheeks literally ached from so much smiling. You were like an extension of our family and we didn't want to leave! An intimate wedding at Castle Westenhanger with E-Lope is the new way to get married; it's personal, it's so very special and so are the lovely ladies behind it all. If you're reading this because you're contemplating an intimate wedding, just do it, it will be the best decision you make.

Blessing coordinated my wedding day in May 2018, from finalising the decorations of our reception, to understanding our wishes for the day, making our delicious wedding cake and finally making it all happen by contacting the suppliers and providing a schedule. We had a fantastic day made perfect by the service Blessing provided. Thank you Blessing and Isaac!

My husband and I can not thank Blessing enough for making our wedding day so special and so well managed co-ordinated. Blessing is an amazing Event Planner / Designer. She has excellent organisational skills, is very professional and has a large range of contacts which is a must when planning a wedding. Blessing supported us in choosing the wedding venue, wedding attire including my dress, photographer, music, catering, flowers and hair and make up. In addition, she assisted us in negotiating prices with suppliers. The investment in a wedding planner was the best decision we ever made. We had a fantastic stress free day and Blessing was with us from start to finish. All our guests were very complimentary of the service provided by Blessing. I would highly recommend Blessing to anyone looking for an event planner / designer, as she works tirelessly to ensure your dreams come true.

My wife and I knew we needed a lot of help in planning our wedding because of the huge number of guests we were expecting so we interviewed several planners but Once we met Blessing we knew immediately she was the one to help plan our wedding. She was beyond helpful throughout the planning process. She always got back to us immediately and there was no question she couldn't answer. She also helped to get the best and most affordable wedding vendors for us. On our wedding day she was everywhere solving every problem and making the day perfect. Also the wedding decorations she setup for the hall were absolutely beautiful to the point where people were coming up to my wife to ask for Blessing's contact details. After the wedding she stayed forever making sure every last item was packed up. I'm telling you there's nothing Blessing didn't do. She has truly become family and words aren't enough to recommend her enough. If I could I would actually have another wedding (with my wife of course) just to experience the magic of Blé.

Blessing was the wedding planner for my friends wedding, I was a bridesmaid and Blessing did an absolutely amazing job. She catered for everyone from the bride, to the family, to us the bridal party. Everything came out beautifully and the bride was super pleased with everything. Very professional at the face of adversity also. Handled everything very well on the day as well as the whole weekend (destination wedding in Italy). Would definitely recommend Blessing to anyone!
