Best in the buisness!

We first stumbled across Mark the Ocassion Hire (MTOH) just as they had set up their business just over a year ago we've been lucky enough to watch their business grow in that time. These guys are truly unmatched in what they do, taking all of the stress out of our entire day. They regularly communicated with us on the run up to our wedding ensuring everything was just how we wanted it.

MTOH dressed our venue perfectly with un matched attention to detail. They promptly arrived the next day to take everything away. They have such a wide range of expertly handcrafted signs, decor and arches all of which can be made available to view in their new showroom.

Mark and Katie have something for every budget no matter how big for small

I can't recommend them enough and wish them all the best with future business.

Our wedding.

Mark and Katie were absolutely incredible! They decorated both our ceremony and reception, and I still can’t get over how amazing the room looked. The transformation was unbelievable .. it was even more beautiful than I ever imagined. I gave them a theme and a vision, and they brought it to life… only better!

Their attention to detail, creativity, and passion truly showed in every part of the décor. On top of that, they are such lovely people bwho go out of their way to help and make everything perfect. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you both for making our day look like a dream!

Jen and Matt - 25th October 2025

We can't recommend Mark The Occasion Hire enough, it's been a couple of weeks since our wedding and I'm still speechless.

Mark and Katie, stepped in when our last Decor Person let us down with only around two or three months notice and blew us away with their kindness, efficiency, understanding and attention to detail.

We didn't really have a clue on what was best or what would look good, they listened to us both on what we liked, shared ideas and opinions, they were never pushy like our previous person, they just wanted to ensure that we were going to be happy with the end results.

Their hard work and experience made our day more perfect than we could of ever imagined, from the general decor, to the minor details and my flowers were more than perfect!

A big thank you to you both, it doesn't seem to cut it for making our day so magical 😍

Love, Jen and Matt xxx

Simply amazing!

I would recommend Mark the Occasion Hire to anyone and everyone! The thought, care, and effort that goes into their services is truly unmatched. Their creative vision — from the very first idea through to the final product — is what literal dreams are made of. Both Mark and Katie are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and it was an absolute honour having them help make our day so wonderful. Thank you for bringing our vision to life in the most magical way possible!

Mark The Occasion.

We had a great experience with Mark the Occasion. Both Mark and Katie were very helpful with the build up to the wedding. They are very professional and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. On the day they were efficient and the Mrs and Mrs sign itself looked great and it was a great quality product. I would recommend Mark the Occasion. It made the wedding look amazing. - Emma and Lloyd

The Fairey’s wedding Saturday 11 October

From our initial conversation and meeting at the showroom, both Mark and Katie were extremely professional, personable and their customer service was outstanding. Everything we wanted, was provided. We were kept in the loop at all times and for that we cannot thank you enough. The pictures don’t do it justice! Everyone commented on how fabulous everything was.

Craftsmanship at its finest!

We first met Mark and Katie at a wedding fair where we became obsessed with their beautiful decor. We were then amazed to find out that we had won the “Mr&Mrs” letters for our wedding day. With a lot of excitement during the wedding planning, we then added a welcome sign, LED light and arch to our special day. Mark and Katie were phenomenal and were very quick to respond to any questions, helping us make decisions (as we are very indecisive people) and completely removed the stress of decor from our minds as they had everything under control. They went above and beyond and we can’t thank them enough for their part in the wedding!

Amazing Wedding Decor Team

Quality of the service - We were taken back by how well they executed our vision. Genuinely speechless during our civil ceremomy.
Responsiveness - Quick to respond via whatsapp, they were so easily accessible
Professionalism - Super professional, happy with whatever choice we made and provided some good advice on areas we were unsure about
Value for money - Affordable rates, no complaints
Flexibility - Despite how late we were in contacting the team (about 3 months before the wedding day), they were super flexible, accomodated our requests and made us feel far less stressful

All in all - thank you guys, you made the best day of our lives perfect :)

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.

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!

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*****
