The Best Wedding And Event Planners in Meriden, West Midlands, United Kingdom (2025)

We knew we wanted to get married in a barn, as soon as we walked into the Swallow Nest we knew it was our venue. The run up to the wedding we were kept in the loop, every email answered in record time and every little question I had, the team ensured they found an answer. Special mentions have to go to Leanne and Beth. Leanne saw my vision and got it perfect on the day, no job was too big or small. The day ran so smoothly and she took away every anxiety I had. If there were any issues on the day I was unaware and I am positive it was all due to Leanne. Just such a joy to be around, our planning meetings with her were so organised and she would always be replying to my endless emails. I feel like we had a special connection with Beth- she was the member of the team that showed us around that first time, she always would go out of her way to come and speak to us on the endless open days we attended and the evening of our wedding she was a super star. Always making sure me and my husband had drinks in hand, being a great MC and even grabbing me some paracetamol at the end of the night. Nothing was too much for her or any of the team. I loved the intimacy of the venue even when people were outside, in the shoot room or the barn it felt like we were all together. Every guest that came to our day mentioned how nice the venue was. Our day was perfect from start to end and the venue was such a huge part of it. Thank you so much to all of the Swallows Nest Team.

We had our wedding at Swallows Nest 13/09/24 and it was PERFECT. Booking Swallows was the best decision we ever made. The attention to detail, communication, reassurance, service, staff.. everything was phenomenal. All the way through the planning up to the end of our wedding day, they were SO supportive and brilliant. Everything was how we wanted it. The staff on the wedding day, from our amazing coordinators to the bar staff, all were excellent. We can't thank them enough for the most perfect day.

I’m not sure words can express how amazing Swallows Nest and the team are but here we go! From the moment we looked around at our first viewing Abby and the team were amazing, always on hand to answer any questions, throughout our whole planning process no amount of viewings were too much we managed to take several family members over to see the venue before the wedding. The whole planning process was so smooth and easy thanks to the staff shoutout to Alice, Beth and Leanne for always being at the end of an email and helping us through our planning meetings. The big dah was fabulous, Leanne was on hand all day, and we didn’t have a smooth morning with a poorly flower girl! But everything was handled so professionally and smoothly it really relaxed my nerves! Leanne took my vision and created it so perfectly it exceeded everything I had envisioned. When Beth took over in the evening again everything was handled so professionally and she really did make the evening with how she made sure guests were where they should be. The serving and bar staff were also fabulous, constantly making sure we had a drink in our hand and checking our food was okay. The venue itself is stunning, the courtyard is a gorgeous little sun trap and the rest of the venue has amazing views. We really did have the best day and we wish we could do it all over again.

We recently had our wedding day at Swallows Nest barn and the day couldn’t have gone better! The venue is stunning, the staff go above and beyond throughout the entire process, and the food from Lemon Zest was incredible. On the wedding day, the barn was the most intimate gorgeous location for a ceremony, and the outside areas are so perfect for a drinks reception. The second room was perfect for the evening reception and looks stunning from outside too with all the gorgeous lights that come on when it gets dark. With the venue being on a farm, there are multiple stunning locations for photos, both inside the barn/courtyard and also in the farm fields and tracks. Overall, we had an absolute blast planning our wedding day and the team at Swallows Nest made everything so easy and were always so accommodating with anything we asked. Massive shout out to Beth & Leanne, our amazing coordinators who helped us plan our perfect day. Book this venue, you won’t regret it!

I don't even know where to start! Ollie and Lydia were absolutely fantastic, a joy to have with us on the day and the content we got back after was sensational. They were so brilliant from the pre-wedding consultation to the followup the next day. I almost feel guilty for saying they were a last minute decision (we are VERY fortunate they had the space due to a cancellation) - because hiring them was one of the best decisions we made. It was great to spend the days after our wedding going through the mountains of amazing videos and pictures they had taken. Plus, the edited videos we received were beyond any expectations we had and it's been so nice to share them with our friends and family. We've had amazing feedback from people there on the day and those who couldn't make it as well - all the content was immaculate (and so well organised!!) and they captured our day perfectly. We feel extremely fortunate that Ollie and Lydia were free for our date - but all I can say is DON'T WAIT, just book them before it's too late, you absolutely will not regret it. Sensational, FIVE stars!

Olly and Lydia were simply brilliant. As a nervous groom chatting to Olly beforehand really put me at ease. The recorded message with guests wishing me and my new wife well were amazing and compiled together so well. They help co ordinate and organize people to get the best shots and content possible. Content was made available so fast meaning we could relieve our day whilst it was still fresh in the memory.

Wow, what a dream team! Ollie & Lydia captured our full wedding day in loooads of video clips and photos which will be absolutely treasured and enjoyed by us forever. Their 90 second highlight reel of our full wedding day landed with us the very next day whilst we were still very much on cloud 9, and it made us both cry so much with overwhelming happiness! It is a beautiful edit and will bring us so much joy every time we watch it, forever. Not only that, Ollie & Lydia are such a lovely couple to have around on the day, bringing the good vibes and energy with them! Many of our guests commented what a lovely couple they were. They also worked very well with our photographer and it's so great to have the candid BTS video clips Vs "the photos". Also, we only had one photographer as well as both Ollie & Lydia, so it was great that Ollie was able to go over and capture some photos and videos of the grooms party getting ready in the morning. We were grateful that Ollie & Lydia took time before the wedding with Zoom calls and emails to understand our vision for the day and what we wanted them to capture, so that they didn't miss anything, and this was very reassuring. We knew they'd capture some great content so we didn't have to worry about any of guests taking photos and videos on their phones, leaving guests to fully enjoy the day too. It was only recently that we discovered that wedding content creators were a thing, and we decided to opt for this instead of a traditional wedding videographer... We honestly couldn't be happier with that decision and would recommend anyone considering it to book these two!! Having all of this to look back on forever of the best day of our lives is absolutely priceless and we can't thank them enough! 💖

Having Ollie and Lydia capture our day was nothing short of amazing. From the first meeting they truly understood what we wanted from our wedding day and how we wanted it captured. We didn’t have to ask for anything from them on the day as they knew our timeline and what we wanted. Ollie & Lydia showed professionalism whilst also feeling like friends spending the day making memories with you. We all felt so natural and comfortable with them and the photos showed it. We’re over the moon about the photos and many videos we get to look back on from our special day and that’s all down to Ollie & Lydia. We can’t thank Ollie & Lydia enough. From start to finish they were the perfect duo to capture our special day. They made us feel so relaxed having photos taken which for 2 people who don’t enjoy it that was amazing. We loved the whole process and love the photos and videos you have taken so much. We honestly couldn’t be happier with the photos. I think the best decision we made in the wedding planning process was hiring Ollie and Lydia as content creators!

This is such a great online event that is professionally organised by a fab team of people. Over the past couple of years, as a small business that has had many challenges that we have all faced due to covid, this event has not only helped us to stay connected with each other, it has encouraged us to try new methods of communication; helped us with networking, supported our customers by providing them with a fantastic selection of wedding suppliers, but also ensured we continue to grow and for that we are very much appreciative. If you are a supplier then please consider using such a great service and opportunity, you won't be disappointed. If you are a newly engaged couple then please do join the events and order your brochure today, there's lots to choose from to make your special day absolutely perfect!

We have been with Midlands Online Wedding Fayre since the beginning and have found Tommy, Clare & Laura to be professional, helpful and extremely passionate about making sure all Suppliers are showcased to the max. They are continually marketing, advertising and promoting across all platforms, along with coming up with new ideas to keep the event fresh and entertaining for couples enjoying wedding planning! The Fayre always attracts a huge amount of viewers, proving popular with couples feeling they can relax at home and pick out suppliers without feeling pressured by any Sales patter. Even when some kind of normality returns, we truly believe this Fayre will continue to be favoured by couples whilst moving with the times. We have received wonderful responses from couples contacting us during and after the events, with fantastic feedback as to how much they enjoyed it! Thank you so much to the Team for all their efforts that go into these Fayres!

As a supplier (Magic Wedding - Kev G Magician) I've found the online wedding fayre's 'Midlands Online Wedding Fayre' have run in the last year to be well organised and perfect for couples to be able to find out and hear from a range of suppliers that are able to enhance their special day. The digital supplier brochure is also put together nicely and a great resource to flick through after the event (though you can still go back onto the event page on Facebook and watch all the supplier videos after the fayre date, which is great if you are unable to make the advertised date). A big thumbs up, keep up the good work for couples and suppliers in the Midlands. Thanks.

I am a wedding hair specialist and have taken part in two of the Midlands Online Wedding Fayre's and have just booked the next one! It's a fantastic event to be part of and definitely moving ahead with the times on how things work differently now. I've had bookings from each Wedding Fayre I've taken part in and it's great that future Brides can "meet" me and see what I do from the comfort of their own home!

I had the chance to work with Georgie yesterday, and she was fantastic! Super organised and always there to help out, making sure everything ran smoothly. She's incredibly hardworking and such a lovely person to be around. From calming last-minute nerves to handling every detail with ease, she went above and beyond to make the day perfect. I’d definitely recommend Georgie to any couple looking for a brilliant wedding planner. She’s truly a star!

Wow! Working with Georgie was a dream from start to finish. Not only was she the ultimate professional with clear communication, vision, and support from a suppliers perspective, she was a constant support to the Bride, Groom and guests throughout the wedding day. I am so happy with what we achieved together and I can’t wait to work with Georgie again!

I am writing this review as my wedding day has finally came and what an adventure it has been. When we first set a date, the thought of planning a wedding alongside working and raising a family felt overwhelming. Although I must admit a part of me was telling myself 'you can do it'. However, I kept procasinating and was uncertain where to start (is it the flowers, dress, venue.. lots of questions). I was recommended and introduced to Georgie from Lux Wedding Planner and had only ever seen wedding planners through watching films (my expectation was quite high!). Georgie did not disappoint. The relationship you build for me is the key to wedding planning and through Georgie's friendly authentic nature, curiosity, listening skills and understanding, it was easy to develop a relationship that was the foundation to create my dream day. Georgie was on hand and ready to negotiate and communicate on my behalf which reduced so much pressure. I was able to share my ideas and Georgie listened and was able to find ways to bring this to life. And Yes, my wedding was the dream I had as a little girl. Most importantly, Georgie showed great care and enthusiasm in her work which is a testament to her character. When the day finally came, Georgie was there- It is funny to think Georgie was once a stranger to me and now she is sharing one of my most precious memories with me and as I reflect - there is no one else I would have had to support and share it with. Georgie took all the stress from me in the day, allowing me to embrace the day and ensured everything moved smoothly. Even running to get my lipstick for my photo (sorry Georgie!). A massive thank you to Georgie for supporting us in the wedding planning phases and on the day- You are a legend! All our love Kerry and Everton

Georgie provided on the day coordination and planning support in the lead up to the day itself. We reached out to Georgie about 6 weeks before the wedding when we both felt we needed a bit of extra help in getting our To Do List down to the next level of detail and when we realised we wanted to have extra support on the day with our wedding being split across two venues. Georgie was with the bridal party on the wedding morning as we got ready, ensuring everything went like clockwork. We were all ready exactly on time, feeling so calm and relaxed that we all ended up playing UNO around the kitchen table in all our finery! She was then supporting us throughout the whole day, and as she knows Hampton Manor so well, she works really seamlessly with the rest of the on the day team. We couldn't recommend Georgie enough. It's sometimes hard to explain exactly what a wedding coordinator will do if you haven't worked with one before, but Jon and I have both reflected after the day that she was worth her weight in gold in terms of ensuring things ran smoothly.

We were recommended Kara-Mia as my venue stylist via our wedding planner Beth Fox of the ‘Best Western Plus Hotel Meridian, Solihull’ As this was a secret wedding in the fact the bride was not involved until 10 weeks before the wedding date, Kara understood this and work with myself and gave me advice on what was needed. This wasn’t an ordinary styling for in the fact the bride didn’t have much of input into what was needed, but Kara came through and done a fine job. I would recommend ‘Kara-Mi venue styling’ to anyone.

We choose you cause your is work is amazing :-) You can book with confidence with this lady she is amazing to talk to and work with, really happy that we went with her Thank you so much for everything you have done for us :-)

Kara Mia venue styling is top class. The install for Eleanor & Aaron's special day here in September was elegant, sweet and suited the Haybarn beautifully. Thank you for your warm and professional approach...we look forward to seeing you back here in the future!

Kara set up and decorated our wedding for both Ceremony and Evening Reception at Brandon Hall hotel. We were so beyond pleased on how she transformed the room, it was stunning. So happy she was able to accommodate what we wanted with colours and styles and pulled it off to perfection! Thank you so much 🩷

The ladies at CGM were so helpful right from the very start until the very end and even after!! Absolutely nothing was too big or too small of a job for them. We had near enough everything for our wedding from CGM and it was just beautiful. Julie was able to set up the night before so I could have a look and said I could change whatever I needed, but nothing needed changing it was stunning. Julie even come back the night of the wedding to collect her stuff, she even took our extra bits so we didn’t need to tidy up ourselves and kept it safe until after our honeymoon. I would absolutely recommend CGM to anyone!! 10/10 service ❤️

We used CGM Weddings & Events for our wedding invitations, my bouquet, the buttonholes & room decorations and would happily recommend. Julie is extremely creative, full of ideas and has amazing attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble and she made sure everything looked perfect on the day - this included table changes, removing everything at the end of the night and even setting up some of our own items. Thank you!

Julie did an amazing job of decorating The Manor Hotel for our daughter's wedding on Saturday, the attention to detail was faultless and the venue looked perfect and just as we wanted it to. Reasonably priced too. Highly recommended.

An absolute pleasure to do business with for our wedding a couple weeks ago at Chesford Grange Hotel. Julie was amazing from the start, was very accommodating and kept great communication up to and including the wedding day. We met with Julie twice at times that suited us so that she could tailor the decor to our requirements and budget. It was the first time Julie had done an event at Chesford and she was more than happy to deal with them directly. Everything was set up and cleared away when Julie said it would be and we didn't have to worry about anything. Would highly recommend Julie and her team! Thank you so much! Ash and Sarah

We hired Royal Wedding Events for our wedding on 02.09.23 and it was absolutely amazing the guests loved the 360 Photo Booth and the sparklers they did for our entrance added that extra special touch

I booked Royal Wedding Events for their slush, chocolate fountain, fruit table and 360 booth. Their service is amazing, they are polite and easy to work with. There were no complaint about their service. Would definitely recommend them to everyone and will be keeping them in mind for future events.

Had a fruit table booking job was carried out awesome would use the service again

I want to thank this brother for such an amazing service. Everyone complimented the chocolate fountain. Sadly as a bride I didn’t get to try the chocolate fountain :( Maybe next time!! I pray your business gets lots of barkath and goes far. Thank you once again

Adelle is amazing at what she does. After two lockdown postponements we finally had our special day earlier this year and Adelle styled the venue perfectly and just as we had wanted. Throughout the process she was friendly, professional and very patient. She listened to what we wanted and sourced the vases that we requested for our table display. Adelle was very familiar with our venue and even dressed a table at an open evening there with our chosen designs and colours so we could see exactly what it would look like. She kept in touch during the lockdown, sending out cards & gifts to keep us going. I would recommend Bunting & Willow to anyone looking for beautiful and hassle free venue styling.

I couldn't recommended Adelle more if I tried. For our wedding in May 2024 I used her 'Hire' service. Adelle made this super easy for us and even helped on zoom calls suggesting ideas for our top table when I couldn't quite nail down what I wanted to do. Collection was super easy from her studio in Wolston. I would highly recommended Adelle to anyone, she is super friendly and her knowledge of the wedding industry is exceptional :)

Adelle and her team are amazing, they worked so hard and created a little bit of magic on our wedding day! Our venue looked incredible and everyone commented on how beautifully it had been decorated. Literally everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you once again. Katie and John xx

Adelle and Sophie made our wedding venue look fabulous! They listened to our vision and brought it to life beyond our expectations. Every detail, from the autumnal flower arrangements to the lighting, was beautifully done. Highly recommend Bunting and Willow Weddings for anyone wanting a stunning, stress-free setup.

OUTSTANDING SERVICE. We cannot thank Kelly Louise Occasions enough for how they styled our wedding. They are completely reliable and they're attention to every thoughtful detail blew us away. Everything they offer is immaculate and stunning. Honestly if you're planning your wedding look nowhere else, the team are so friendly and go above and beyond to make your day perfect.
