Beautiful Decor!

We had the gorgeous moon gate with matching registrar flowers. As we were on a strict budget we went small but effective and honestly it was breathtaking.

Literally goes Above and Beyond

Kirsty provided and set up the room decorations for our Wedding in July, at the TLH. From initial discussions of what decorations Kirsty had to what we wanted to last minute changes, to changing our date by a whole year - Kirsty was fantastic! great communication. We had multiple meetings to make sure we were happy with what had been arranged and agreed. Kirsty even got in special decorations just to go with our theme. We had lots of comments about how beautiful the place looked. Kirsty managed to find sashes which matched the bridesmaid dresses. It was a large ballroom and outdoor space to which Kirsty filled the spaces elegantly and better than we could've imagined it to be. Truly transformed the place! Also, kids and adults loved the sweet cart. The giant LOVE letters were a big hit for photos. The centrepieces were perfect and just what we imagined on discussing the idea. Thank you Kirsty - I know how big this was and how much time and effort you put in to making it perfect.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

I am the face behind Above & Beyond Event Styling.

I am a mum and I also have quite a collection of skills from beauty therapy to singing. After I had my son in 2011 I started photography as a hobby which led me to be a hospital photographer for newborns and that turned into a few weddings which is where my love for the industry grew.

I needed a career to fit around my busy family life so I acted on my love of events and planning told my partner my idea and when he built me my first sweet cart Above & Beyond was born.

I'm Claire Mum to Kirsty,

My day job couldn't be further from weddings but I enjoy helping out and seeing all the different styles people choose for their special day.

My Daughter Kirsty runs her business so well all by herself but the setups can be physically demanding so you will see me at most venues helping out.
