The Best Wedding And Event Planners in Chiddingstone, Kent, United Kingdom (2025)

I want to say thank you for the wonderful wedding planning course. The course was incredibly informative and practical, and I feel I’ve learned so much! I appreciated how hands-on it was, allowing us to practice what ‘we learned. The day wedding coordination was particularly amazing as it gave me a taste of what it’s like to work on a real wedding. It was a fantastic opportunity to see everything come together and made me more excited about becoming a wedding planner. Pippa & Amber managed to create a supportive learning environment and were there to answer questions and offer guidance. Thank you again for providing such a valuable and enjoyable learning experience.

I recently completed the 1:1 course in Wedding Planning & Business marketing. I was very impressed with how the course was structured. I was given 8 books which I read before the 1:1 session which I found to be incredibly detailed & informative. The 1:1 session was engaging and I really enjoyed Pippa's teaching style. I found Pippa to be very friendly, knowledgeable, and transparent about the wedding industry and how I could work to develop my business and succeed. I really appreciated the time Pippa took to help me work on my branding and develop a realistic business plan. I would definitely recommend the WPS and I feel confident to begin my journey as a wedding planner.

I attended the course in May 2023. It was fantastic! Pippa and her team are so knowledgeable and you learn so much. I can't recommend this course enough if you're serious about a career in weddings planning. I did so much research into courses and you won't find a more comprehensive, more enjoyable course.

What an incredible week spent on the Elite Course with the Wedding Planner School. As an aspiring wedding planner the course was just the thing I was looking for x1000. We were lucky enough to stay in the grounds of Leeds Castle for a week which was a magical experience whilst getting to know my course mates, who were all really supportive of one another. The daily classroom sessions (theory and practical) went into great detail and there was lots of opportunity for questions and discussion. In addition, the opportunity to work on a real wedding towards the end of the week was brilliant and gives you great insight as to what you can expect. All in all, the course was the perfect springboard for my next step towards becoming a wedding planner. Thanks to Pippa and Amber for everything you continue to put into it!

Amazing service from Kent Events…. We contacted Jay back in January to organise my birthday party in July..he arranged marquee, toilets, 360 photo, catering (bbq-the burgers were insane), music, sax and bongos which were brilliant. Everyone had an amazing night.. they really took the stress out of organising a party… highly recommend them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fab service for my mums birthday. They provided us with Marquee bar entertainment catering toilets and power , highly recommended

Absolutely fantastic company. Creative, professional, top notch customer service.

I’ve worked with Kent Event Packages on a number of occasions and have always found them to be organised, friendly and professional, always putting on a fantastic show and meeting the client’s brief. The DJs have always been brilliant and have created a great atmosphere for each event. Would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful Christmas wedding at Oak Tree Barn. Renee, Lydia, Theresa and the rest of the team were on hand to answer all our queries both in the run up to the wedding and on the day itself. Having the venue for the whole weekend meant we had plenty of time to set up and decorate without any stress. We stayed in the Bothy with our family and enjoyed a lovely evening before the wedding. Plenty of space for up to 7 adults and a lovely master bedroom for the bride and groom. Also lots of space to ready separately on the morning of the wedding. We used caterers and a DJ recommended by Oak Tree who were both fantastic. Our favourite part of the venue was all the fairy lights and disco balls - it looked so magical. We can’t thank the team at Oak Tree enough for a perfect day and would recommend to any couples who want a relaxed wedding in a fun and rustic setting.

What a gem! Oak Tree Barn is an absolutely stunning wedding venue and one of the best-kept secrets in Kent. It’s perfect for couples looking for something intimate yet beautiful, with a quirky and charming atmosphere that’s just magical. We at Kate and Kate love working here—the setting is gorgeous, and it offers such a personal touch to every wedding. If you’re after a venue that feels like a hidden treasure, Oak Tree Barn is a fabulous choice!

Well what can we say, we visited OTB, absolutely fell in love with the venue and the team and signed on the dotted line before we even got home or visited any other venues. From start to finish OTB staff were incredible, especially Lydia who hands down absolutely smashed her role as Wedding Coordinator. We had countless compliments for Lydia on the day and she is a true asset to the team. The venue itself is insane, so many of our guests commented on the day of how well everything worked. Nothing was ever too much and the day to night transition feels like you have two venues in one. If we could do it all again, we wouldn’t change a thing. We included the Bothy and utilised both the on site salon and glamping pods, all these additions just added to the wow factor and overall experience. Will 100000% be recommending this venue to all future couples, especially Ashleigh working in the industry. Thank you Renee, Jamie, Lydia, Theresa and the rest of OTB staff for making our day out of this world. We are beyond grateful!! Love, Aaron & Ashleigh x

I had the sincere pleasure of capturing a beautiful wedding, here at Oak Tree Barns, in May 2024. As a local Kent photographer, it was a real treat to visit one of our county's most beautiful wedding venues. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL! Very well thought out and, clearly, very carefully and lovingly looked after. I must also praise the exceptional staff. The entire OTB team were incredibly kind, supportive and helpful. Everything a couple (and a fellow supplier!) could hope for on an otherwise busy wedding day! I very much look forward to returning and working alongside the fantastic staff at Oak Tree Barns again soon.

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!

If you’re looking for someone to style your venue and take all the stress away. Hire these guys now. We found them through our venue and went to one of these procecco and browse days. Well these guys formed my wedding. I found them, my rings and my stationary through there show room! I wanted an Autumn wonderland and they delivered! They came in the morning and when I went to check on them they needed no direction they knew what they were doing I could go upstairs and enjoy my morning stress free. When I came down for my ceremony I couldn’t believe it was the same room it looked amazing. The colours, the attention to detail, the neatness!!! Everyone of my guests were in awe and took so many photos infront of our arch! These guys know weddings. Book them tell them your vision and they will make it come true. I didn’t have a clue what flowers I wanted and let them have complete control and my bouquet and the boys pocket flowers were stunning! Shout out to Tammy for being the vision maker and Helen for introducing herself and showing us how amazing there company are!!! See some photos from our day and how fantastic it looked

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 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

Our company has worked with Party Drs on several occasions. They are a joy to work with, creative, professional and patient. Nothing seems too much to handle, and they understood our brand and requirements very quickly, carrying this through each event. The staff themselves are great, both friendly and humourous whilst maintaining professionalism. Our recent even was a large exhibition which they took care of from start to finish. From designing our stand to completing all the paperwork and formalities with the venue. Raj and Dom took great care in making sure our stand was ready and even took over aspects that were not in their remit to ensure it met our standards. Raj, Dom and their staff took very good care of our company and customers. When our stand was extremely busy, they took the initiative to mingle with the crowd, offer drinks so our guests were not left hanging around empty handed. Even "off the clock" they assisted in arranging transport home for our stranded customers. This was just a typical example of the lengths they will go to to ensure the event is a success for their customer. We have not hesitated to book again for next year.

I have now personally worked with Party Doctors 4 times both within a corporate and private sense, with one event already booked next year. To say Raj and Dom go above and beyond would be an understatement, I have yet to witness anything that these two gentleman cannot achieve (even from some of our wildest concepts!). They hold your hand through the entire planning process giving you breakdowns on cost throughout to help you stick to your intended budget, the system they use actually allows you to visually see how the concept will look within the space you are using. They worked tirelessly for us for our first expo this year becoming experts about our brand and what we do, the stand that they created actually drew in such a crowd that we struggled to keep up with the sheer amount of customers! Thankfully that was no problem to them and their team who immediately stepped in to offer information about who we are and what we do to keep clients entertained. Their staff are absolutely brilliant and they have a very close team, a special shout out to Tristan who we personally request for our events who is another person always willing to step up when things get stressful. Overall, I cannot recommend Party Doctors enough would not ever want to work with anyone else as it would simply be subpar.

We used Party Doctors to help us with a joint 18th birthday party for our daughter and her two friends. They were fantastic. From the first enquiry to the event itself they were honest, helpful, accommodating, trustworthy, professional and reliable. We had 250 guests of varying ages and Party Doctors literally created a night club in our garden. Everything from the marquee, indoor and outdoor lighting, DJ, bar, bar staff, food, toilets and security they arranged for us which took away the stress and allowed us to really enjoy the evening with our guests. Nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend them - they honestly are all a pleasure to work with and know how to throw an unforgettable party !

Such an amazing event! Party Doctor took all the stress and worry out of arranging an 18th birthday party in my garden. They kept the kids safe and they had a fabulous time. Would definitely recommend and plan to use again.

The hardest thing about this review will be keeping it short. We cannot say enough about Charlotte and Katie. Their enthusiasm was there right from the start, from the very first meeting. They finished our thoughts and sentences and we had an immediate reassurance that we were in capable hands. We are very detailed orientated, we had done most of the planning ourselves before we brought Charlotte and Katie on board and that’s probably our biggest regret, not finding them sooner and bringing them on board earlier. Their experience, attention to detail and organisational skills were self-evident and they asked about details that no one else had thought of except us. Other than us (the bide and groom) they were the only people to have EVERY single detail of the big day (and remember them). We knew we could completely trust them to manage the set up and running of our special day. They understood our whole vision and the part that every supplier played in our day. We can honestly say that we had brilliant suppliers, but there were so many jobs that fell outside of the venue/ florist/ stylist etc that without Black Sheep, those jobs wouldn’t have got done and our day wouldn’t have been as special as it was. The day before the wedding, we realised that there were DIY jobs that we weren’t going to get done, so we asked the girls if they could do them and they agreed without hesitation. We felt guilty at the amount we asked them to do, but they really took it all in their stride, they were completely unfazed. No idea how they did it all in the time. They did not stop working from the day before our wedding, all the way through our wedding, right through to every bag, crate, box and fairly light being packed up. They even kept the staff at the venue on their toes, prompting them to clear plates. No job was ever too big or too small for Charlotte and Katie. They were always there when they were needed and they made it look effortless, but we know it absolutely wasn’t. The wedding industry can be greedy and grasping, but Katie and Charlotte give everything they’ve got and then a bit more. They were determined to make our day as stress free and perfect as possible for us. They went above and beyond what we expected, even our guests have commented on how much they did throughout the day. Katie & Charlotte won’t let you down, the relationship between them is special and they are a formidable team. Nothing we can say in any review will express our gratitude for all they did for us, we are so sad that we don’t get to do the wedding planning over again, except this time with Black Sheep involved from the beginning.

Charlotte was just incredible from start to finish helping us on our wedding day. In the build up to the ‘big day’ she provided us with so many helpful tips that we hadn’t yet thought of and dealt with all our suppliers so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. On our actual day Charlotte was a superstar and ensured we could relax in full confidence not worrying about a thing. Any hiccups were sorted within moments and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer person to run our day. Charlotte is not only a professional, keeping everyone and everything running smoothly, but a lovely person who was a joy to have with us on the day. We could not have had our day without her support. Everyone needs a Charlotte for their wedding! Thank you again for helping to make it so special for us.

I don’t even know where to start in saying thank you to Charlotte and her team for helping us on our wedding day. From start to finish, Charlotte made sure every single detail was checked and looked after. Throughout the whole build up, she was reassuring and positive - putting us totally at ease. On the day, she ensured everything was set up to the highest quality and that everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. There is no way we could of had our day run without a glitch without Charlotte and her team! I cannot thank her or recommend highly enough!

Where do I begin?! Charlotte and Katie were amazing from the day we met them! Throughout the planning process they were on hand to answer any questions, gave advice on ideas and provided us with recommendations of suppliers (which we used and loved!). They shared our enthusiasm for the day, complimented each other with the knowledge, skills and expertise they both brought and were two amazing ladies who we felt we could completely trust with the planning and running of our special day. They were brilliant setting up our venue the day before and morning of the wedding (and packing up at the end of the night too!), were busy liaising with suppliers, setting up and dressing areas and were a genuine friend to the bride during stressful moments! During the day, Charlotte and Katie did not stop! They had planned the day perfectly and even with the unpredictable British weather (heavy rain in August!!) the changes they made to the running of the day seemed effortless and unfazed them. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect, so much so that I wouldn’t even know where to begin to list everything! They both really understood the vision we had for the day, were honest with what would and wouldn’t work and gave us ideas we would have never thought of. Charlotte and Katie were both professional and a friend at the same time. We are so grateful and felt very lucky to have them be a part of our special day. There is not one thing we would change about our day and so much of that is down to these superhuman ladies!

We recently celebrated our wedding at Hoath House in Chiddingstone and I can confidently say it was the most magical weekend of our lives! From the moment we arrived until we left, everything exceeded our expectations. Hoath House is nestled in the picturesque Kent countryside, offering a stunning backdrop of rolling hills and lush gardens. The venue’s charm is undeniable, with its stunning architecture and beautiful grounds. We loved how private and intimate the setting felt, perfect for a weekend-long celebration with our closest family and friends. We rented the entire house & domes for the weekend, which allowed us to truly make it our home for those days. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat for us and our guests. Harry at Hoath House was exceptional. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly organised. From the initial planning stages to the actual day, his support made the process stress-free. He truly went above and beyond to make our vision come to life. Our wedding weekend at Hoath House was nothing short of perfect. The stunning location and the warmth of the venue created an unforgettable experience for us and our loved ones. If you’re looking for a dreamy place to celebrate your special day, we can’t recommend Hoath House enough. It will always hold a special place in our hearts!

We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Hoath House in July 2024, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. With over 200 guests attending and more than 50 staying on-site, including babies, elderly relatives, and everyone in between, Hoath House exceeded our expectations. The property is ideal for large gatherings, providing plenty of communal space to enjoy time together without ever feeling crowded. The rooms were clean, each with its own unique character, adding to the venue's charm. Precilla was incredibly attentive throughout our stay, always on hand to assist with any needs, big or small. And on the day itself, Harry and his team were fantastic—they ensured everything ran smoothly, so we could focus on celebrating. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and will absolutely be returning to Hoath House. For anyone looking for a venue that combines historical charm with practical hospitality for a memorable, large-scale event, we highly recommend this gem!

We got married at Hoath House in Sept 2024 and had the best weekend ever. The house and grounds were gorgeous, the staff fantastic and the whole wedding set up was ideal. Harry was super understanding and accommodating throughout all of the lead up and would always offer to help. We had about 50 family and friends on site all weekend, the self contained areas were helpful so guests could look after themselves but still be on site. We stayed in one of the glamping pods and it was lovely - definitely the best way to start your wedding day with a dip in the hot tub! We also managed to get a dip in the pool on the Friday which was a great way to unwind after wedding prep. The accommodations were great, some rooms were quirky with ceiling set ups etc but wasn’t a big deal - just check you don’t put the tallest in there. It also involves communal bathrooms but everyone was fine with that. The lovely Stephanie from Leave it to Us catering sorted some absolutely delicious food for us, we couldn’t believe the quality, so definitely go with her!! Would definitely recommend Hoath House as a place to tie the knot surrounded by incredible grounds, in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. Photo credit to Jo, While We Wander

We’ve just held our second family reunion at Tudor Wing and had the most wonderful time. The property is full of charm and character and there’s plenty of room. The lovely grounds, surrounding countryside and pool make this a perfect venue for us. The staff were friendly and attentive, the house was clean and well presented on arrival with our bedding requirements as requested. There were plenty of bathroom towels for all of us. Lovely Priscilla was on hand for any ongoing needs.

An amazing grazing table at our Christmas party, Designed by Donna, would highly recommend ! 🌟🌟🌟

Superb. Donna delivers both beauty and simplicity! No fuss, a joy to deal with, full of great ideas, pays attention to all the little details, and is super-efficient. Highly recommended!

The styling is simply stunning. Dreams do comes true with elegance and simplicity to create a gorgeous atmosphere. Very impressive

Donna has gone above and beyond for the editorial photoshoot Rohiny and I organised at the Old Hall Ely. From the very beginning, she understood the assignment and completely smashed it - in the best way possible! I love Donna’s professional approach - she has a keen eye for details. When I provided her with my mood board for the editorial photoshoot, she did not only create a styling mood board, but fetched items specific for the photoshoot - such as absolutely adorable vintage chair, which was one of the highlights of the photoshoot. Donna is also a kind person - it’s easy to talk to her and it feels like she is your friend. I cannot recommend Donna enough!

Fantastic service from start to finish from Daniel and his team. Great tables and bar for my Miami Beach themed party. Will definitely use Daniel again.

Always pleased with the service from Daniel Lay. Used them four times now and great to support a local business that is growing more and more each time I see them. All the team are so friendly, helpful. Communication from quoting to delivery/collection is fast and easy. Highly recommended.

From start to finish Daniel Lay and his team were superb. Informative and patient, they worked with us to help order exactly what we needed for our party. The LED cube furniture and light up numbers were of excellent quality and looked fantastic on the night of the party. The delivery and collection tracking app is an excellent help to make sure you are home on the day too. We would highly recommend Daniel Lay Events.

We needed some furniture hire for a birthday party and we are so pleased to have find Daniel’s company. The service him and his team provided is 5*. Before placing the order, we needed reassurance that what we needed would fit as we planning to use our garden and the fact that Daniel can come out (at a small fee) to come measure and provide his expertise was convenient. It ensured that what we needed for the party would fit and that we had options for anything alternative. The delivery, installation and the removal were seamless. Since they provided a tracking link with a chat functionality, it helps planning your day around the delivery. We had a great party with loads of compliments on the set up. Would recommend Daniel Lay Events anytime.
