Thank you so much again for your amazing set and performance you did at our Wedding... It was truly unforgettable and the songs were brilliant! We were so glad we picked you guys as you just blew it out the park - everyone was on the dance floor living their best life and said they had such a good time (we believe it was down to the music). You're all so talented and we had many people saying they couldn't believe it was live as the vocals were just wow! Creeda's DJ set was so much fun, really took us back and kept the night going until close.

We hired Goldbeat for our wedding party and from the first initial contact with Richard we knew they were the perfect band for our event! The contact throughout was brilliant and were so professional on the day. They sound absolutely amazing and all our guests were so impressed! Could not recommend the band highly enough! Thank you Goldbeat for making our day so special!!

We hired GoldBeat for a summer party in 2018. As soon as we enquired, we knew that they were the right band for us. Richard took great care in making sure every detail was covered and that all our questions were answered leading up to the day. On the day, they arrived on time and set up promptly, having everything ready before our guests arrived. Their performance was amazing - from the first song they had everyone on the dance floor until their last! All of our friends/family commented on how much fun they made their night - one even booked them for their wedding the following year on the spot! A really nice bunch of guys and top professionals. If you need a band for your party, look no further!

I cannot express my gratitude for the help the Hippo team provided us throughout the process of our event. Alex was a constant support system for us, from being the main point of contact between us and the venue, to sorting any issues that arose quickly and without any hesitation. Thank you so much again Alex and Steve - Kendo

Working with Hippo is an absolute treat. We have worked with the team on our annual flagship conference for two years' running and our experience with them just gets better and better. Whilst they're incredibly professional and slick, they are also a huge amount of fun to work with and bring a positive, can-do attitude to everything they do!

When my partner and I decided to have our dream wedding in Bologna, Italy we begun by trying to find out the type of ceremony we could have as Church of England Christians (Christened but not religious) As Italy is run by the Catholic Church this was harder than we thought. We then tried to find a venue we could be married at, again not so easy, we could only legally marry in Bologna’s beautiful Town-hall or a venue in another town by the Major. After much research we felt we needed some help and guidance. We spoke with five wedding planners in total, Carolina was the last and only choice for us. She explained all the legalities so clearly and had a wonderful range of venues to choose (legal and symbolic) Her percentage fee worked for us and her services were worth every penny. Most importantly, we simply wouldn’t have had the wedding of our dreams without her. Carolina had advised us to visit Bologna before we picked a venue. Stupidly we didn’t and paid a deposit for a beautiful venue we had seen in photos. When on a rainy day in November we finally visited the venue we didn’t feel it was where we had imagined the wedding. On a Saturday morning I messaged Carolina with my concerns and within two hours she had organised for us to visit another venue the following day!! This was incredibly stressful day but Carolina sorted it out efficiently and calmly which is exactly what you need when planning a wedding! Venue of dreams sorted, she then gave us three quotation for catering, this was an easy choice because all the menus sounded delicious. We went with the mid range costing menu, since the wedding the food and venue are the highlights with our guests constantly going on about how the food was so delicious! Carolina works with a spectacular florist, again good value and most importantly we were delighted with the flower arrangements especially my bouquet. Like the catering we were given three quotations for the photographer. All similar prices so it was a case of picking our favourite style. Really happy with the outcome, they captured the day beautifully. A couple of months before the wedding we decided to get a videographer and again Carolina sorted this our immaculately. We had some special requests: Parmesan wheel, craft beers, extra material to decorate marquee, lighting, dance floor and an opera singer that Carolina arranged wonderfully. On the day Carolina was there to orchestrate all the moving parts which meant my husband and I could enjoy the day without any worries. The only glitch we had was the very lengthy speeches (not in Carolina's control) which could of ruined the food but somehow this was completely unaffected by her amazing organisational skills. Only negative which is also a positive we wished the wedding could have been longer as everyone was having such a fabulous time. Best wedding EVER and we couldn’t have done it with Carolina, she is a super star wedding planner!!!

We cannot thank Carolina enough for going above and beyond to make our wedding the most memorable and beautiful day that we could have only dreamed of without her help. From start to finish no detail was left undone and we truly felt in very safe hands planning our wedding in Italy. Carolina was so knowledgable and gave such good advice in all aspects of our day and ensured that everything ran like clockwork on the day - we could not have done it without her and I will miss her great sense of humour during our phone calls and always making me feel reassured and completely relaxed with everything that goes into planning a wedding abroad. Thank you Carolina you truly are amazing at what you do and we could not recommend Carolina and A Taste of Beauty enough!

The best choice we made for this wedding preparation was choosing Carolina Piazzi's "A Taste Of Beauty" to plan our wedding. The take home message is that your wedding will be planned to perfection if you choose Carolina to help you. Trust us when we say this choice will pay for itself a hundred-fold. It is the right choice; the only choice. We picked Carolina on the back of excellent online reviews to help us plan a wedding in Italy. She consulted us, understanding our preferences, our dislikes, our culture, and our budget. She took a lot into account, and did so extremely professionally. We narrowed down venues based on taste and on advice from Carolina, then visited Italy to view the shortlist, coming out with a winner. Everything was very easy. The process of planning our initial wedding in Italy was well over half a year and never felt rushed. COVID then changed everything, and we quickly had to plan a wedding in our home country UK within the space of 6 weeks. Carolina was able to do 2 things simultaneously: defend us and get the majority of our money back from vendors abroad when it was appropriate to do so, and then help us organise vendors here in the UK - in 6 WEEKS. I will never on paper fully explain the technical difficulties and obstacles she faced, but suffice it so say that we would have had a very, very mediocre wedding without her. With her, we had a slice of Italy in the UK. Her taste is impeccable and her ability to deal with vendors and keep to time is fantastic. Choose 'A Taste Of Beauty' and work with Carolina. It will be the best decision you make in planning your wedding. Photographer: @jessypapasavvaphoto Florist: @beaconbloom Cake: @designercakesbyelle

My partner and I decided to get married in Tuscany as we had dreams of a fairytale wedding in the Tuscan countryside. Carolina made this dream a reality for us and worked tirelessly to ensure our wedding went ahead without any issues. From day one, Carolina won us over as our wedding planner of choice as she listened to our desires with meticulous levels of detail and really understood our vision for our special day. The entire process of planning a destination wedding during Covid was a breeze, with Carolina's exceptional organisational skills keeping us on track with key milestones. We were provided with multiple options for every aspect and she provided us with great levels of support and detail to make our final choice on venue, caterers and entertainment remotely. Getting married during a global pandemic was never going to be straightforward but Carolina navigated us through the highs and lows (including rearranging the date of our wedding at the last minute to cater for quarantine requirements) and the day went ahead without any hiccups. Our wedding day was more beautiful than I could imagine. Carolina really focuses on the finer details (which you can see in the pictures) and everything from table settings, flowers through to the choice of caterers and organising everyone was perfect. We couldn't be more grateful to have found Carolina and more ecstatic about how perfect our wedding day was. Thank you so much Carolina for making our dreams a reality!

I've used event planners several times before for balloons. Most recently last Saturday for my sons 4th birthday. Large blue 4 helium balloon and several clusters of multi coloured latex helium. Staff understood straight away what I wanted. Arrived at venue on time , very efficient, very friendly, nothing too much trouble. Excellent service, definitely recommend 👌👍🏼

I always go to this shop for my kids birthday balloons! Their balloons last for ages! (literally, I end up having to pop them after a month as they're still bobbing around my house!). They have a great variety of not only balloons but cards, decorations, fancy dress, party bag gifts, bouncy castle hire... the list is endless! If they haven't got something you'll be guaranteed they'll know where to get it! I'm lucky to have this shop in the same village I live in, but even if they weren't I'd happily travel! Parking is really easy and staff really friendly! Highly recommend!

So happy with my balloons for my daughter’s birthday. I discussed ideas with Danni and she created this fabulous garland for me

A big thank you to Paul and Danielle. My daughter had her baby shower earlier this year and in typical form, she does not follow tradition. In this I mean that she is having a baby boy but she has not decorated the nursery in blue and nor did she want much of anything in blue moving forward. This set us a challenge for the baby shower. Her color theme is sage green, mustard yellow and burnt orange. Her best friend and I visited the shop a few weeks ago and Danielle was very helpful and came up with the nearest options they had available during these difficult times of stock shortages they are experiencing, they were almost spot on. We also came away with some cute green baby shower napkins for the cupcakes. We were offered a cup of tea by Paul whilst we had the discussion and were shown various examples and options. On collection last Friday, Paul was very helpful in getting them into the car and sending me on my way with advice on how to store them to ensure they would be at their best for the Sunday. Almost a week later the balloons were still going strong and displayed in the nursery showcasing her color theme beautifully. Thank you Paul, Tara loved them Karen Palmer
