Highly recommend!

We couldn’t be happier with Mark and Katie’s help for our big day, they were so friendly, accommodating, and happy to help, even right down to doing everything they can to work with our budget. The letters and arch looked absolutely amazing and I’m glad we picked them - we highly recommend them and thank you so much again!

Summer Solstice Wedding

We hired Mark and Katie for our wedding reception on 21st June and they did an amazing job. We cannot thank you enough for what an amazing job you did. We were completely blown away and the sweet cart went down a storm!! They decorated everything more perfectly than I could have imagined. They decorated the night before and collected the day after which was fantastic as we went on our honeymoon the following day. If you are unsure whether to book go for it. You won't be disappointed. Communication was fantastic couldn't fault them.

Mr & Mrs Bower Wedding May 2025

Mark & Family were brilliant for our wedding in May 2025, I hired the rustic LOVE sign & fully stocked rustic sweet cart & both went down an absolute treat! So many comments were made & we loved the little touches- we asked for blue and white stripped bags & they happily arranged it for us! We also had fabulous communication throughout & I would highly recommend 5*****

Hiring of Mr & Mrs sign

My husband and I met Mark and Katie back in 2024 at a wedding fayre. We wanted the large Mr & Mrs sign for our wedding, because why not??

The process of hiring this sign was so smooth, and it looked amazing at our venue. Our guests loved it too. We had nothing to worry about in terms of placement, how it’s getting there, timings etc, it was organised so well and it was perfect. Mark and Katie are your people for hiring, not only did they have this, they have all sorts of stuff to hire too, beautiful things!! Not to mention, they are the most loviest people I’ve ever met. There is no stress is anything. Thank you Mark and Katie for allowing is to hire this sign. You guys are the best!

Fantastic team, great communication, highly recommend

I fell in love with the beautiful handcrafted LED lights unfortunately after I had booked ours. I had a look at their profile and saw a picture of MTOHs flower wall and knew it would fit in perfectly at our wedding! The team were really informative about new items they were making and the Alice wall was our colours!
I then enquired about a selfie frame and an audio guestbook, no question was too much trouble for them.
Mark & Katie are a fantastic team! The Alice flower wall, selfie frame and audio guestbook were all gorgeous and went down a storm! The communication has been incredible too, always answer swiftly! The team arrived when they said they would, packed down when they said they would and were super helpful. I would absolutely recommend them 💐

Beautiful decoration


We had the pleasure of working with Mark from Occasion Hire for our wedding decorations, and we can honestly say he exceeded all our expectations. Mark is an incredibly talented decorator and a true professional. From the moment we discussed our ideas, he listened carefully and brought our vision to life with such creativity and attention to detail.

On the day of the wedding, the decorations were absolutely breathtaking. Every element was perfectly placed, beautifully coordinated, and truly transformed the venue into a magical setting. It was clear that Mark takes immense pride in his work, and his passion for creating stunning displays really showed.

Throughout the planning process, Mark was friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. He made the entire experience smooth and stress-free, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special day knowing everything was in expert hands.

We are so grateful to Mark for making our wedding decor so spectacular — it truly made our day unforgettable. We highly recommend Occasion Hire and Mark to anyone looking for exceptional, professional, and breathtaking wedding decorations. Thank you, Mark, for your incredible work!

Definitely recommend!

We hired the rustic Mr & Mrs Letters for our wedding reception, and wow they looked absolutely stunning! 🤩 We enquired with fairly short notice and the communication was fantastic, very speedy responses and Mark & Katie spoke with our venue themselves to arrange set up & collection making the whole thing completely seamless and stress free for us. They were in and out like a flash and made it as simple as possible for us. The lights really finished off the function room, they truly looked amazing, the craftsmanship in these handmade letters is truly outstanding!

Thank you again, would highly recommend!

Perfect decorative additions for your Wedding. Superb stuff!

Absolutely flawless service at our wedding in Late November. Despite us only discovering and booking Mark to Occasion Hire very late in the day, they were highly accommodating and really helpful. Arrival, setup and removal were perfectly executed and totally without hassle....which is vital when there are so many other things to think about! Really nice people to deal with and the quality and look of their equipment is great and very good value, especially when comparing to the venue's own offerings.

Highly recommended!

The dream team!

Mark and Katie were our wedding decor Superheroes!
We dropped them a message pretty close to our wedding asking if they could help us with some last minute decor. They couldn't have been more helpful. They replied to messages quickly and went above and beyond to make sure our wishes were met.
They set up and packed up super efficiently. They kept in touch and let us know every step of the process.
Customer satisfaction is the most important thing to them. Nothing is too much trouble. Both Mark and Katie are extremely friendly and will go the extra mile for any bride and groom as they truly understand the importance of your day.
I can't recommend them enough. Their decor and service is just outstanding!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
