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!

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!

We worked closely with Penny when planning our wedding for August 2022 and she is amazing! We cannot recommend her highly enough. She was extremely professional, friendly, knowledgable and calm. We felt like we were in safe hands from the very first email exchange to the big day itself!

Hi, this review is for our AMAZING wedding planner Penny at Penelope Weddings. Our wedding just passed earlier this month in June so a big sigh of relief as I'm writing this. First, I would like to mention that I live in the United States and trying to plan a wedding overseas was nearly impossible. In the US, we find our vendors by using mainly Yelp searches and in most parts of the world, Yelp is not a feasible option. I was able to find a couple vendors on my own just by searching and joining random groups on FB, but due to the time zone difference and other obstacles, it was challenging to say the least. The DJ we hired recommended using a wedding planner and up until that point I hadn't really thought that was an option for us. She gave me 3 referrals and we actually did a zoom call with another wedding planning company prior to talking to Penny. They were asking for an unreasonable amount of money and more importantly we didn't connect as they seemed cold and it was all a very transactional conversation. Then our next meeting was with Penny and from the beginning she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. She made it very clear from the beginning of her involvement and guidance. From the beginning to end, Penny literally held my hand and walked us through everything. She made suggestions and recommendations that we would never had thought of and we truly appreciate everything that she has done for us. At the end of the wedding, I've asked for Penny's help to mail by bouquet to an Etsy vendor to dry my flowers and preserve them because we had to fly to Lisbon the next day after the wedding! If you can afford to and you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, please just reach out to Penny. I promise that you won't regret it!

Penelope Weddings were incredible in taking care of our special day. Our wedding day was by the far the most special day of our lives. Penny literally made our dreams come true. From start to finish I could not have asked for a more dedicated visionary working to make everything happen. It was truly a magical day. The details to the design and the execution of how everything turned out was beyond expectations. Penny has an eye for attention to detail and we were so thankful to have her see to those details and it played a huge part in making the whole day so special. Penny has this wonderful aura and made us both feel wonderful during the process. She understands both partners wants and needs of what there special day means to them and using this to ensure decisions are made and well thought out and delivered. She has a gift and those who experience her expertise are in very good hands to start their journey in marriage together.

Without Penny our day would have been a stressful, disorganised mess! Penny could not have made us feel more at ease, during the planning and especially on the day. Somehow she was always at hand, but never seen - no matter the situation, she was there to fix it. Could not have better words for Penny! x

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

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

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.

Paula and her team were exceptional in helping to plan and execute my son’s 18th party. Paula’s wealth of experience means she can really help you get exactly the vibe and style you want and nothing was too much trouble - she completely took the strain and stress away. Lizzy who ran the bar for us on the night was absolutely fabulous too and loved by all. The whole night was a great, great success. Thank you 🙏🏻

Amber Events organised my 50th birthday party in December. The event was even better than we had dreamt possible. Thanks to Paula and the team we were all able to relax and enjoy an amazing night with family and friends. During the week before the party Paula’s team set up the marquee, stage and bar. We hardly noticed them and were able to leave them to it. Whilst we were at work the garden was transformed into an incredible party zone. Although Paula’s skills are far reaching, she isn’t quite a magician, and so couldn’t stop it from being an extremely windy night. Some of our guests had worried that a party in a marquee might not be the best idea but, with Paula in charge, it absolutely was. Paula and the team made certain that the marquee stayed firmly in place and well heated throughout the evening. Once we were inside the marquee, with the band and DJ performing, and the charming waiting staff and dancing barmen, we had no idea whatsoever that the winds were still raging outside. Nick and Tracy’s food was fabulous and they chatted to all the guests as they prepared and served it. The event was really well staffed with lovely people who knew what they were doing and made things run smoothly. Paula has great ideas and many regular providers who she deals with. Whatever she agrees to do for you will be done to a very high standard. Thank you so much, Paula and all the team, for a fantastic night.

We have used Amber events 5 times and each experience gets better and better, we just call Paula and the majic happens. Without doubt the best party planning company in the Uk today. Brilliant people, catering, entertainment, service, marquee, Dj, photography, luxury Portaloo’s, cocktails, lighting, you name it, nothing is too much trouble. Will booking again soon, Thankyou Paula & the team 👍👍👍👍👍

Cannot recommend Amber Events highly enough! I love hosting but when it came to my parents wedding reception in my garden I just knew it had to be special with as little stress as possible and I can honestly say that using Paula & her team was worth every penny! We had plenty of correspondence and meetings with Paula & Jo beforehand to ensure that our vision could come to life, and they offered us lots of great suggestions! We wasn’t a huge event (65 people) but we made sure every space was utilised and the timing of everything was perfect. We used the following services: • Marquee with Lights, Curtains & Dancefloor • Bar & Bar Staff (including made to order cocktails) • Private Chef & Waiting Staff • Table & Chair Hire • Glasses, Crockery, Cutlery etc Hire • Ice • DJ Everyone that came to the house was so respectful, friendly & helpful but most importantly, I had zero stress on the day – even when we thought it was going to rain, Paula was there ready with a backup plan (luckily we didn’t need to use it). And all of our guests commented on what a fantastic day/evening it was. Cannot wait for the next opportunity to use Amber Events again! Thank you so much xxx

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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!!

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

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

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.

Rating: 5 / 5

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.

We are extremely happy to have chosen Dream Days for our wedding reception. Darminder in particular was super helpful and accomodating from the start. Wedding planning at times can be stressful, but we always had nothing to worry about and had full trust in Darminder in terms of overall organisation, and the catering at our reception. He was super helpful when it came to adjusting the menu and ensuring the extra small touches we wanted on the day came to life. On the day itself Darminder was very organised and efficient, everything went to plan, and even with some time changes he made it look seamless. Everyone keeps telling us how good the food and service was, and we highly recommend Darminder and Dream Days to anyone looking for catering and event management!

Rating: 5 / 5

A massive thank you to Dream Days. The service was professional and the food was delicious. The team were efficient and helpful on the wedding day; the service was impeccable. All of the guests loved the food! Darminder was on top of everything and very organised. Every little detail had been taken care of and all our requests had been fulfilled perfectly. I would highly recommend Dream Days to anyone who requires an amazing catering service for any event.

We are a little late in leaving our review but we had dream days do our catering for our wedding back in July and they did an absolutely fantastic job. During the initial tasting we had the opportunity to try lots of different dishes but the food on the day tasted even better than this. We had lots of compliments from our guests on the food and service they provided and Darminder did an excellent job of organising the whole day, we would highly recommend them!

We have recently had an event at Legion rooms, Dar and his team (especially Nicky) were amazing. The food was great and the service from planning to execution was exceptional- taking out all the stress of the organising. Nothing was too much for them, I would highly recommend for future events. A massive thank you to Dar and the rest of the DDAYS team.
