    Outstanding

    Mark the occasion did an absolutely brilliant job. Everything was so much better than I had envisioned. Would recommend them 100 per cent.

    The best Venue Styling!

    Could not recommend enough, when first speaking with Mark and Kate we wasn't entirely sure on what we envisioned and didn't give them much to go off however we could not of wished for a more perfect venue styling, it was truly beautiful and just completely perfect! Absolutely lovely people and fantastic at what they do!

Two different venues and two different approaches to the decorations just what each couple wanted. Value for money and lots of variety available to suit your budget and theme.

    Brought our vision to life!

    Mark and Katie took the time to understand mine and Amelia’s vision and were pivotal in bringing this to life on our wedding day. Whilst we had an overall theme in mind we would never have been able to realise this without Mark and Katie’s support. They were accommodating and flexible when we requested last minute changes to decorations and on the day they even helped set up additional props/bunting which we hadn’t previously asked for their support with. My wife and I would 100% recommend!

    Mark The Occasion Hire's reply:

    Thank you both so much.
    We loved being a part of your big day and nothings too much trouble for a fellow Knicks fan 🧡💙

    Brilliant family company

    Fantastic people to deal with, arrived on time and really added to our perfect day. Very accommodating to us adding our own decorations and happy to help with our overall set up.

    Willing to add as little or as much as needed unlike some companies who stated a minimum cost of £2k regardless of needs. This is not the case with mark the occasion, I’m really crafty so only needed to add a few bits we were doing a lot of it ourselves and Mark the occasion worked perfectly alongside us.

    Would very highly recommend this family business!

    Mark The Occasion Hire's reply:

    Thank you so much. Your own decor was amazing. We loved being a part of your big day.

    Absolutely incredible from start to finish! 🤍

    We honestly cannot recommend Mark the Occasion Hire enough. They were absolutely amazing from the moment we met them at our first consultation right through to our wedding day on 14/08/2026.

    Their communication, knowledge, creativity and attention to detail were second to none. I had thousands of questions and ideas, and they handled every single one with patience, enthusiasm and genuine care. They listened to what I wanted, offered brilliant advice when I needed it, and most importantly, the finished decor was exactly how I had imagined it — actually, even better!

    They decorated our ceremony room, stayed for the room turnaround and then transformed our reception room too, including all of our signage. Every little detail was beautiful, and seeing everything come together on the day was just incredible. ✨

    Sadly, my dad passed away just one day before our wedding, which was an incredibly difficult and emotional time for us. The kindness, understanding and patience Mark the Occasion Hire showed us during this time meant more than we can put into words. They sent such lovely messages, were incredibly considerate, and helped us with some last-minute decor so that we could honour my dad on our wedding day, including creating a beautiful memory table. ❤️

    Nothing was ever too much trouble. Not once.

    And on top of all of that, they are just genuinely lovely, bubbly and wonderful people. Our consultation meetings were always so upbeat and enjoyable, and I felt completely comfortable sharing all my ideas with them. At times, it honestly felt like we were chatting with friends rather than suppliers — which is such a special thing to find when planning your wedding.

    Their showroom in Matlock is also incredible! It is absolutely packed with gorgeous decor and gives you such a brilliant opportunity to see everything in person and visualise exactly how things could look on your wedding day.

    If you’re considering wedding decor, BOOK THEM! You will not regret it. Their talent is amazing, their service is exceptional, and their kindness is something we will never forget.

    1000% recommend Mark the Occasion Hire! 🤍✨ Thank you so much for helping make our wedding day so beautiful and for being there for us through such an incredibly difficult time. We are so grateful. ❤️

    Mark The Occasion Hire's reply:

    Elle, honestly… what do we even say to this? ❤️

    Thank you so, so much for taking the time to write such a beautiful review. We’ve read it more than once and it genuinely means the world to us.

    From the very first time we met you, we knew your wedding was going to be something really special. You had so many ideas, questions and little details you wanted to bring together, and it was such a pleasure being part of that journey with you both. Knowing that everything came together even better than you imagined is exactly why we love what we do. ✨

    But more than anything, thank you for mentioning what happened with your dad. We honestly cannot imagine how incredibly difficult those days must have been for you, and we were just so grateful that we could take a little bit of pressure away and help you create something meaningful for him to be part of your wedding day. Your memory table was so special, and it meant a lot to us to be able to help you honour him. ❤️

    And hearing that our consultations felt more like chatting with friends than suppliers… that really got us. That is exactly the kind of relationship we hope to have with every couple who comes through our doors. We want you to feel comfortable, listened to and completely yourselves with us.

    We’ve absolutely loved being part of your wedding journey and getting to know you both. Thank you for trusting us with such an important part of your day, for being so lovely throughout, and for choosing Mark the Occasion Hire.

    We genuinely wish you both a lifetime of happiness together. And Elle… thank you for this. We’ll never forget it. ❤️
