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 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!

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Angie is amazing! She literally made any idea we had become reality saving us so much stress and time. We wanted something a bit different and she wasn’t in the slightest bit phased and everything fitted perfectly. The favour tags, table plan, guestbook and centre pieces were specially made for us. We just found a photo of something we liked and she had it made or we gave her an idea and she created it. The photos just don’t do her work justice. Thanks so much Angie for making life so easy! Love Andy, Amanda and Betty 🐾

Amazing supplier, fast responses, always happy to help providing great service with lovely products for our wedding day. Angie was lovely and so friendly and couldn't have done more for us to help make our venue look great, we hired the draping and a few other bits which looked beautiful. Thank you so much!

Angie & her team are absolutely amazing! I’ve had the pleasure of ordering my daughter’s birthday balloons with Angie and although I have less than a week’s notice Angie made me 2 balloon stacks and a “2” balloon arrangement all in Paddington bear theme which all my party guests commented on. She even delivered them, nothing was too much trouble! I also work with Angie to create all of my acrylic cake menus for my wedding cakes, they always turn out beautifully and I can’t wait to see the next one she creates

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.

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.

It goes without saying I couldn’t recommend more highly of Angela and her team at Elegant events of Kent. The whole process was so flawless, great communication, set up was fabulous and Angela was lovely. My partners 40th birthday was made even more special with the amazing work they did providing such an elegant back drop for photos. Would recommend to anyone looking for something extra for their special day. Thank you again!! Xx

Thank you to Kerry and the team for creating and absolutely incredible backdrop at the stunning venue Roseyard Kent for my husband's 40th. From start to finish they were so professional and so helpful and able to create exactly what I envisioned. Also last minute I had to change the date and extend the hire. No questions asked they were more than willing to accommodate my request. The who set up was stress free for me! I wish Elegant Events were located to where I live as I organise so many parties and would loved to have used their services. Thank you Elegant Events of Kent for the decorations! I would 100% recommend this team to anyone looking for decor set up for events!

Absolutely stunning venue, we had our wedding here and it was honestly perfect! Everyone was super helpful and friendly through the entire process of viewing, booking and organising. Everything has been thought of here for an outdoor venue and you'll be in very capable hands. We'll be back for a Sunday roast ASAP!

As a wedding photographer, capturing a story at The Dreys is always a genuine treat and one of the coolest Kent venues! The stunning outside space under the peaceful woodland canopy will never ever get old. There are always so many different spots to explore with my couples making every wedding feel fresh and original. And with that peaceful setting for all the guests to relax, the cabin vibe and a sense of being in the middle of nowhere, it really is quite the spot! A real pleasure to photograph every single time!

From our first walk around at The Dreys, we knew this was the venue for our wedding. Jackie and Dave have gone above and beyond to create a hidden gem. As you walk through the woods you are blown away by what you see! The space itself is perfect! Having a seperate dining room and dance floor is great so nobody has to be hurried out. The woodlands themselves are beautiful! I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone. Thank you again to Jackie and Dave! Great communication throughout, always willing to help, and just very nice people! We feel lucky that we could use your beautiful venue for our special day!

We couldn’t have dreamed of a more perfect venue for our wedding than The Dreys. From start to finish, the entire experience was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the heart of woodlands, the venue provided the most picturesque setting to celebrate our special day. The rustic charm of The Dreys was everything we had envisioned and more. From the twinkling light to wooden features and natural decor, every detail made our special day that extra special. Our guests were blown away by the setting. Everything was catered for and the help, support and ideas we had we no trouble to the team in making them happen. In the evening the bar and fire pit became the perfect gathering spot. Whether it was a handcrafted cocktail or a refreshing beer, the bar staff delivered everything with impeccable service and a friendly smile. It added an extra layer of fun and celebration to the day, creating memories we’ll treasure forever. The food, catered by Invicta Foods, was absolutely exceptional and exceeded every expectation. The delicious three-course meal was flawless from start to finish – beautifully presented, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor. It was clear that every dish had been crafted with care and attention to detail, and our guests are still raving about it! The meal was nothing short of perfect and added such a luxurious touch to the day. We can’t praise the staff enough – they were truly incredible. Every single person on the team was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their professionalism and friendliness were second to none, and they made us and our guests feel so well cared for. Whether it was the bar team, the waiting staff, or our coordinators, every single one of them played a part in making the day so special. The evening was made even more magical as we were able to have fireworks. Watching the night sky light up we stood surrounded by our family and friends which was an unforgettable moment. It added a truly breathtaking touch to an already perfect day and made the celebration feel even more special. The accommodation was another highlight. Staying overnight at The Dreys allowed us and our closest loved ones to relax and truly soak in every moment of the day. The cozy, rustic Tepees perfectly with the woodland theme and provided a peaceful retreat after all the excitement. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying a delicious, fresh breakfast with our family and friends the next morning was the perfect way to end the celebration. From the stunning location to the wonderful team who made sure every detail was just right, The Dreys gave us the wedding of our dreams. It’s not just a venue; it’s an experience, a memory, and a place that will always be special for us. If you’re looking for a unique, magical, and truly unforgettable wedding venue, look no further than The Dreys. We can’t recommend it highly enough! Thank you for making our big day everything we had hoped for and more!

Working with the lovely Charlotte is always a great and stress free. She is organised and takes anything in her stride. I have worked with Charlotte on a number of occasions and always look forward to one of her weddings.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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!
