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

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.

We recently worked with Georgie on a stunning wedding at The Savoy. Hats off! A huge undertaking of moving parts.. Looking fwd to the next time!

Georgie and the team at Ethereal Events were a dream to work with on a recent wedding at The Savoy. Ahead of the event communications were always super prompt and meant on the day everything ran perfectly and also looked incredible. Would highly recommend for any event planning!

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.

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!

We had the most incredible wedding day at Oak Tree Barn in August 2024 (I can't believe it has taken me this long to write a review). From the moment we stepped foot in the venue for a viewing, we knew that this was where we were meant to get married. Renee and the team made us feel so at home instantly and we fell in love with the venue itself. It really is breathtaking, even more so on the day! Prior to the wedding, the team could not be more accommodating, answering all of our questions and making suggestions based on the kind of vibe that we were going for. There was no ask too big or small. They really understand what people want to see at a wedding and use their experience to help you make decisions that make the day special. During set up, the team were on hand to support. Even when I had a small mental breakdown that the wrong serviceware was delivered, Renee stepped in to help figure it out and take away that pre-wedding stress, something that I truly appreciated. She really does care about making the weddings held at Oak Tree Barn perfect! On the day, they made us feel like celebrities. Special thanks go out to Lydia, our wedding coordinator, who found ways to give us special surprises throughout the day (our room reveal with The Function Band) that we were not planning to do, but has become one of my favourite memories from the day! I think the most special thing about this venue is that they are constantly learning from each wedding they do and adapt their venue to add more and more to what they offer (like the Soggy Salloon and the Disco balls that were installed as a feature the day before our wedding - which we adored!) We cannot wait to continue visiting year after year to celebrate our anniversary at OTB, and to reconnect with the amazing team. Renee, Lydia, Teresa and the whole OTB family, we cannot thank you enough!

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.

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

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.

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.

We hired a church hall for an 18th, I was so fortunate to find Party Doctors. Brad was super helpful, engaged and supportive throughout the entire process. The lighting, DJ, draping of the hall - fantastic!! The guys were very polite & professional and worked throughout the evening on a tricky timescale…they were completely packed up on time. Well organised and very competent. Highly recommend this company.

Photos can't translate how amazing our wedding day was. Raj, Dom and everyone at Party Doctors did an incredible job, working around the clock to make sure our dream wedding happened just the way we wanted. From marquee to chairs to lighting, everything was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. There was excellent communication between us, the venue and other vendors every step of the way - support every bride and groom need! Thank you for giving us our fairytale wedding!! We couldn't have done it without you. H&J

Was at Pembury fireworks display on Friday 3rd Nov. Shades Events provided the music to accompany the fireworks. Very good would highly recommend for any event.

Was looking for a marquee last minute due to the weather change this weekend! They saved my sisters bridal shower! Will definitely use them again !!

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.

Events Meets World provided delicious catering and outstanding venue set up for my wedding reception (180 guests). Highly recommended!

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!

They are amazing!! I want to say a huge thank you to Pippa and the entire wedding planning team!! Our wedding day would not have gone HALF as smooth as it did without the amazing team for organising everything and being so helpful the whole way through! We wouldn’t have had the incredible day we did have without their help, I can’t begin to describe how amazing you all were. Everyone was talking about how perfect the day was and how smooth it all went, the team really were the cogs that made the day go so well! I would 10/10 recommend!!! Pippa came in and saved the day so many times!! Everyone was there the day before and the day after they set the venue and church up and we’re absolutely amazing, I cannot sing their praises enough!!! From delivering our wedding flowers to us in the morning, to actually making the bridesmaids bouquets& groomsmen boutonnières (pics included)!!!! And setting up the barn, they are all so amazing! And will make your day so special! All our love, Tommy & Kez Mack :) Photographer- Peter Reynolds Photography

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 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!
