    Amazing team!

    Claire and her team are absolutely amazing. I used to work in the industry and I am very fussy, but they had an excellent eye for detail and handled everything so smoothly. Love them!

    1st class experience

    Could not recommend 1st class event specialists enough!
    The team did an outstanding job making our venue look absolutely amazing!
    From the first meeting I had with Claire to the last meeting the communication was amazing. Nothing was too big an ask and everything was handled seamlessly. Even a few days before the wedding when it was due to rain Claire was offering umbrellas. We changed our minds several times but this didn’t phase Claire. Her and the team were so flexible and understanding our day turnt out amazing. We had soo many compliments for our guests we couldn’t have picked a better company.

    The absolute best!

    We had the most amazing wedding day and the first part of the day I saw (the bride) was the decor set up. From that moment I knew our day was going to be so magical as the 1st class events team made our barn so beautiful, intimate and bought our vision to life perfectly.
    I had sent photos I’d found online (not from their page) and Claire and her team were able to replicate amazingly! Communication throughout the whole planning process was amazing, and as it gets closer to the day this is necessary!
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars! Highly recommend x

    Couldn't have been better

    Claire and her team are amazing, from start to finish they went above and beyond to make our wedding look fantastic. They have a large number of options to choose from in order to get the aesthetic you want to reflect your style as a couple. Communication during the planning process was smooth and replies swift

    The best experience!

    Where do I begin? Claire and her team are absolutely incredible, and I have loved every interaction with them throughout wedding planning!

    I initially was a bit nervous to reach out, as I knew we also wanted to a lot of decor ourselves and didn't know if this would cause any awkwardness. Claire made sure I was comfortable straight away, and was more than happy to provide what we wanted. She was one of our best suppliers to work with; no ask was too big, and she always made time to talk when I needed clarity or had questions. Claire herself was a massive support and the decorations were absolutely beautiful. I am so grateful to Claire and team for helping all of our visions come to life!

    I wholeheartedly recommend 1st Class Events Specialists to any couple in the planning process - you will be in the best hands!

    Exceeds all expectations

    From the first meeting we knew that we were in good hands with Claire, seemed to read our minds and knew what we wanted, the whole experience was one of professionalism when Claire said not to worry she would take care of all the room and how it would look, all I can say is she came up trumps far surpassed all expectations. One in a million, thank you Claire.

    Thank you for your kind words Julie.

    An absolute pleasure to deal with

    Claire and 1st Class Events are one of the best companies I have ever dealt with. Nothing was too much trouble, the range of products was more than enough (in fact spoilt for choice). We sent a photo of our thoughts and Claire made it happen. Claire was always available and reassuring, even 10.00pm the night before when we had forgotten something.
    The service was impeccable and Claire and her team were so friendly and helpful we felt like we'd known them for years.
    Claire and First Events were a big part in making my daughters wedding a day to remember and I will definitely be reccommending 1st Class events any opportunity I get.
    Thank you Claire x

    Wedding reception decor

    Claire came highly reccomend through friends and clients who had first hand experience of her amazing work. We had one to one meetings with Claire where she listened to exactly what we wanted and helped us to achieve our vision. She gave us lots of options and flexibility and ultimately helped us decide what we needed for our wedding reception. I was blown away by how it looked on the day, as we're all our guests.

    We were so excited to style your day, seeing all our visions come to life !
    It was our pleasure helping
    Lots of love to you both xx
