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!

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.

We had a very definite view of how we wanted our venue to look. We knew it was quite different and we knew it was a bit out of the ordinary. When we were looking for someone to style our venue, we met with so many suppliers who showed either a vague passing interest in our plans or a complete lack of attention to detail when quoting that we were beginning to despair that no one would ever truly “get us”. That changed when we met Claire from ‘The Creative Venue’ at the Detling Wedding Experience. From that first meeting she was as excited as we were about our wedding and threw herself into the detail straight away, suggesting creative ideas to make our vision even better, all before we had even agreed prices and signed contracts – she was just happy to share her expertise with us. Claire was always excited to see us, like we were her family. She was patient and good humoured, even when we gave her a 32 page PowerPoint presentation of ideas, likes and dislikes (sorry Claire), she actually liked it. She was very reassuring and always happy to meet with the venue and other suppliers to make sure that we were all on the same page, she’s a real team player. We had so much to do that we didn’t really feel excited in the run up to our wedding, until the afternoon before our wedding when we saw our venue and the styling taking shape. In truth, whilst we knew Claire was very capable and we trusted her to bring our vision to life, we never really felt that anyone would get it 100% right, no one could every really take what was inside our heads and actually get it exactly right- ummm… we were so completely wrong. Claire did exactly that! She took a completely white room and worked with our florist, Jill from Passion Floral Design, to create the magical winter woodland for us, complete with lots of moss, twigs, twisted willow, ivy, with lots of warmth coming from deep reds, velvets, rose golds, candles by the bucket loads, hundreds of fairly lights, uplighters, crates, drapes, sequin drapes, paper lanterns, it was beautiful. We said that we didn’t want to turn on any overhead lights and that we wanted all the light in the room to come from the ambient light provided by the candles, fairly lights, uplighters etc – well they achieved just that, the room glowed, no harsh overhead lighting was needed. The photos really don’t do it justice. The one word our guests used over and over again to describe the way everything looked was ‘magical’. Even the staff at the venue said they had never seen the venue look that way before and the following day, staff who weren’t working our wedding told us they had been sneaking in to have a look because they had all heard how beautiful and different it looked. That would never have happened without Claire and her team. They went above and beyond and did things that we wouldn’t have expected them to do and we truly feel like they are friends now. Claire knew exactly what would work and made our vision a reality, which made our day absolutely perfect. We only wish we could have had an extra day to enjoy it all for longer.

Working with Emma Warburton, Founder and MD of Evoke Events, was a breath of fresh air and a real pleasure from beginning to end. Emma and her team provided an exceptional service for this high profile event discerning exactly the vision we had in mind with fresh ideas, being very pro-active, fast acting precise decisions when required and nothing was too much trouble. Needless to say our event rolled out seamlessly which we were so pleased with and very thankful for. We cannot thank Emma and her team enough and very much look forward to working with her again.

Evoke helped me organise the disco, photo booth some drapes and extra lights for the venue. Emma got everything perfectly timed so each part was installed at a set time on the day so it was minimally disruptive to the wedding party, the draps add that extra special touch to the room, the mirror photo booth was a major and DJ was spot on. All in all Evoke events added those finishing touches to what was a memorable special occasion. Highly recommended and when my other daughter gets married I will use Evoke events again. Thanks Emma💕

Emma helped us with hiring waiting staff for our DIY wedding and after patiently discussing our needs, she provided us with an amazing team of four. Arriving on site whilst we were in our ceremony, they worked unsupervised to provide an excellent service to our guests who were full of compliments for them. We had brought some flowers back with us from the church and they were incredibly helpful in artfully displaying them around the marquee. No job was ever too much and they worked with complete professionalism. Thank you Emma and team.

Look no further for your party planner. Emma produced an unforgettable night to celebrate our daughter's 21st for 130 guests. Unanimous feedback was "the best party ever". Emma's experience and creativity really shows when it comes to both planning for and running an event like this one... and getting the most out of the budget. I feel that she has a connection to her audience and knows how to create the wow factor. On the day, the team worked so hard to make things go smoothly and we could enjoy ourselves, stress-free. Thank you Evoke from all of us...it would not have been the same without you.

Holmsted were the first supplier we booked for our wedding as going with them was a pretty easy decision. They didn’t disappoint and were just brilliant! They were extremely professional, patient, reliable and did a fantastic job. I really couldn’t recommend them more.

Claire and the Holmsted team were incredible from start to finish. Very responsive and helpful with our countless questions ahead of our wedding day with a professional and friendly team setting up the marquee. The sailcloth marquee was beautiful, along with the little hats which looked perfect in our champagne reception. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Holmsted!

We had the pleasure of working with Holmsted Events to supply our sail tent for our English garden wedding. We couldn’t recommend them enough! We had two tent providers on the day and HE were exemplary and couldn’t fault their service. From the day we first spoke to them until the day of the event, we had 10/10 service from Claire. We are so glad we chose them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to all our friends and family. Thank you Holmsted Events!

Holmsted provided tipis for our wedding and were amazing. Great at communicating, a very courteous and efficient team, even when we had slight problems with the tipi due to the high winds, and the tipi itself was absolutely stunning. Fred, Claire and the whole team have been great from start to finish!

Honestly Sarah came in the day before the wedding and couldn't do enough, due to previous florist being not very good, she honestly saved the day, the flower were beautiful and she done an amazing job thankyou

Wow! What a fantastic business with a brilliant team. Thank you, Sarah, for all your help in choosing our decorations. You always offered great suggestions without making us feel pressured. We really appreciated being invited to your warehouse to preview our table setup. Please extend our gratitude to the team who came to our venue to set up our wedding breakfast. It looked phenomenal and received so many compliments. You truly helped make our dreams a reality. Special thanks to the two lovely ladies who delivered our breathtaking bouquets. They guided us on exactly what to do and when, and were more than happy to answer our questions. To anyone looking for a wedding stylist, look no further. As their name suggests, they have it all! We will recommend you to all our engaged friends, and we can’t thank you enough for contributing to our big day!

We came across All You Need through our wedding venue and booked an initial call straight away. The team were so helpful and thorough explaining their process and helping to guide us through our decisions of our styling and stationery. They were quick and detailed when answering any questions we had and always happy to make tweaks on what we wanted. On the day, I was blown away by the set up for our wedding reception. The decor was exactly what we wanted and more and we loved our wedding stationery - we still have our welcome sign and intend to hang it up once we have a house. The flowers were also beautiful. We couldn’t recommend the team any more and absolutely loved working with them!

All you need wedding styling supplied our wedding decor and flowers and we could not have been happier. The whole process with them was amazing truly helping the vision of our day come to life. On our last meeting I took the bridesmaid dresses for colour match and felicity went above and beyond ensuring the colours matched perfectly! I would recommend them over and over as they truly are 'All you need' for the perfect wedding.

Thank you to Sarah and the team for creating the perfect setting for our twilight wedding and completing my ‘wife’s’ vision. The venue looked magical for our evening ceremony with backdrop and lanterns. Our neon sign looked the part and the donut wall went down a treat. Many thanks to you all.

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!

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.

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

I ordered some food for my 30th birthday gathering, and was very pleased with the food. All our guests loved the fried rice and the puff puff was gone very quickly! We are looking to order regular meals as well in the near future, as we’re very happy with the service & food.

Professional service right from start to finish. The EMW team kept in constant communication with me in the lead up to my event and presented the various options in which I could personalise my event. They took care of everything from the catering, to dj hire to set-up and decorations. In the end, I was surprised at how well the event turned out and it exceeded my expectations. My guests were able to testify to this. For this I am most grateful to the EMV team for all they have done!

Brilliant company! (To say the least) I booked these gorgeous chairs a few days before Christmas. The chairs were dropped off on Christmas eve. I couldn't be more grateful especially after booking at such short notice. EMW really saved from a tone of stress. The chairs are so stylish and added the extra touch of glamour my dinner table needed. Thanks EMW I'll defo book with you again!!

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.

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!!

Rating: 5 / 5

Words really can't explain how fantastic the service from Kayleigh was throughout the process in both the preparations for, and the day of, our wedding. Kayleigh has an amazing ability to make you feel like the only couple she is working for through the whole experience. She is fantastic at listening to the "vision", sharing ideas and advice, and executing to perfection. Her responsiveness, above all else, was so helpful and reassuring when handling lots of suppliers - it really does make the difference. My only regret is that I don't have another event to use her for! If i could give 6 stars I would.
