Paula has a wonderful business. She really looks after her clients bespoke requirements, the attention to detail and creates magical stylish events. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and really cares about the whole experience

I worked with Paula on a large event she organised in Surrey. It was a huge success, she's a fantastic event planner! Very organised, friendly and easy to work with. Would highly recommend for any event you need managed. Looking forward to working with her again. Cheers! :)

Attention to ALL details with a smile

There aren’t enough superlatives to sufficiently describe Apollo events. My sisters and I all had our 21st birthdays with them and as a result our family now has a reputation for the parties we throw. All the credit has to go to Tim and his team who just manage to create the most incredible nights every time without fail!!!

Tim and his team are an absolute pleasure to work with. Their expertise in the events industry is second to none. Having worked with them for the past 7 years we have seen them create some truly inspiring and magnificent events with every single detail planned meticulously. Experience, creativity and personality mean that every event is bespoke and I would not hesitate to recommend Apollo if you want to a truly memorable party. Tory Whittington - Caper and Berry

Tim and his Apollo Event team are awesome! He created the most magical party for my family and it was quite simply one of the best nights of our lives. The thank you letters, cards and messages are testament that every other guest felt the same and this was because of Tim's attention to detail to ensure everything went without a hitch. I can totally recommend his professionalism, talent and flair to deliver the best party ever! Huge thanks!

Apollo organised our wedding for us and are quite simply brilliant at what they do - we could not have pulled off such a beautiful wedding without them! We were initially a little daunted by the prospect of organising a wedding, however we needn’t have been. Tim took all the stress out of the planning process and the day itself, which allowed us to just enjoy it and do all the exciting things! Tim has an excellent knowledge of and rapport with suppliers - we felt we had the best of everything with none of the hassle of trying to find caterers, marquee companies etc. He also has a great eye for detail and very much had us as a couple in mind when coming up with ideas, so the day really reflected our personalities. Tim was invaluable on the day itself and we felt so looked after - something you don’t often feel as bride and groom, being so conscious about everything and everyone else. He is also very personable and great fun - each time we met with him we felt so excited about our plans materialising. His team are all fab and added to the atmosphere on the day. We are so grateful to Apollo for putting together the most special day of our lives!

We decided to get married in Sorrento, Italy and used Ionian Weddings due to the positive reviews and comprehensive, reasonably priced packages available. Although slightly apprehensive - as we have never attended a wedding abroad - we certainly weren't disappointed. The booking process and wedding arrangements all ran smoothly as a result of the help and support from our UK planner Maria and Viola in Sorrento made sure everything ran to plan on the big day! We were married in Sorrento and had our reception at Villa Antiche Mura and I can honestly say the experience of the day exceeded all our expectations - together with those of our guests. As well as the beautiful surroundings the food, service and attentiveness of the staff was of a very high standard and I cannot think of one negative aspect to mention. Sorrento is a beautiful place to visit and an absolutely perfect place to celebrate a wedding, we would highly recommend it! John & Lisa

My husband and I got married 2 weeks ago at San Galgano Abbey in Tuscany, Italy, and we can honestly say we had the best day of our lives and this is all down to the incredible planning, guidance and support from Ionian Weddings! Maria was our wedding planner based here in England and right from the start, she was there to answer our million-and-one questions and nothing was too much for her to sort, even when adding extra bits on just a couple of weeks before the wedding date. She also offered in some of her own ideas which we absolutely loved and helped to make our day even more special, for example for our Prosecco tower, she suggested having fountain sparklers at this point which truly made a magical moment on our special day! Communication was fantastic, emails were answered promptly and our video calls with Maria also helped to set plans in place. During our wedding day, we had Serena who coordinated our wedding out in Italy, along with Nico from the venue itself. Both were absolutely incredible - Serena could tell that we were nervous about how everything would come together and she went out of her way to make sure we were happy with everything and couldn’t have been anymore attentive on the day. Every tiny little detail of our wedding day was planned to perfection - the table decor was just stunning, the flowers matched our ‘sunset colour’ theme perfectly and our vision that we sent in photos truly came to life!! If you are thinking of having your wedding abroad, we couldn’t recommend Ionian weddings enough - they are just FANTASTIC and we feel so lucky to have had Maria, Serena and all the team in helping to make our wedding day the best day of our lives! Thank you!!

My husband and I got married in Lindos, Rhodes Greece last week! Ionian weddings were fantastic throughout the whole process and would definitely recommend booking your wedding with them! Firstly we’d like to thank Helen our UK coordinator who listened and helped guide us to create our wedding plans and secondly we’d like to thank Michele our wedding planner in Greece who made all the plans come true and help create our dream wedding! We would also like to thank the Ammos Beach Bar and Restaurant team for delivering a wonderful service for us with great food and welcoming staff. They also organised all the taxis for us and our guests at the end of the night which really took a lot of the hassle away!

We’ve just had our photos through from our dream wedding! The service from initial Exploration with Patricia was really good and very responsive. Once we signed up It would’ve been helpful to have more contact with our wedding coordinator as there’s quite a lot of documentation to get sorted and to look through. However, shortly after we were given Emma and she was brilliant checking in with me That I was on track with my documentation asking any questions that I had big or small to make sure I felt totally reassured for the day And that we had all the documentation and detail in place. When we got to Sorrento, our wedding coordinator Gemma was amazing. We spent half a day with Gemma a couple of days before the wedding and she talked to us through everything and we went to all of the location Day. On the day, Gemma made sure everything ran like clockwork whether it was gathering guests, Organising the photographers sorting out my dress or just being a sounding board for my worries when it’s starts to rain. When you get there, you really see how it all comes And I definitely want to send a special thanks to both Emma and Gemma for making sure that we were well looked after. The only problem is the day went far too quickly and we’d love to do it all over again.

Great service and great quality. These balloons were bought on 30April for my sons birthday on the Sunday. Picture 1 taken on the Sunday so 1 day old. Picture 2 taken today 29.5 and still going strong!!!!

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
