Donna single-handedly made our wedding. She turned our dreams into reality and we’ll be grateful to her for the rest of our lives. She is an absolute powerhouse of organisation, creativity, and project management – but also one of the kindest and most wonderful people to work with. Every detail was thought of, right down to the thoughtful surprises she organised for us, like a picnic hamper with champagne and strawberries to share quietly together straight after our ceremony. She went so far above and beyond in every way, and was always the most professional, calm and incredible presence. If you’re considering Donna – HIRE HER. She is extraordinary.

Hiring Donna and her team was the best decision we made for our wedding day. From the very first call Donna completely understood how we wanted our day, and set about helping us get everything in order. The reminders of when invoices need paying and asking where we are with each vendor was such a weight off our shoulders, and we could just get on with getting everything ready for the day.

The team on the day ensured everything ran smoothly between our ceremony and reception. We cannot thank Marine and Natasha enough, the feedback from our guests was nothing but praise for how smoothly the day went, and how Natasha was always making sure everything was perfect for us.

We are about 6 weeks out from our wedding and I can genuinely look back and say that the day we have planned would not be happening without Donna and her team!

Mine and my fiancée’s life has changed drastically since we first got engaged. Yes, we’ve always been busy but over the last year he has started his own company and I have been promoted and moved jobs - to say we don’t have time is an understatement.

Donna and her team have stepped in when it felt overwhelming and picked up the slack for us. Communicated with vendors when just answering an email was too much and sent out thoughtful curated vendor lists for us to choose from always giving their opinion based on what we wanted and to no surprise, every vendor (food, hair, makeup, photographer) we have ended up choosing.

Being the first one of our friends to get married, we had no idea how much things should cost. Donna and her team were not only always mindful of our budget and advising us on what we need and don’t need but also saved us so much money by always making sure we were getting the best prices.

Donna and her team have thrown themselves into our wedding like it’s their own. Giving us some of the greatest ideas that is going to make our wedding day more than we could have imagined and give our guests a day to remember.

Worried about family politics? Don’t worry, Donna and her team will step in! Key people tell you two months before the wedding they don’t want to do big things they promised they would do on the day? Don’t worry, Donna and her team will do it. Absolutely panicking because you feel like you’re behind? Don’t worry, Donna will message you when something is urgent. A control freak like me? Don’t worry, Donna will sit with you and go through every detail. Guests are driving you up the wall because they have lost all sense of how to use Google and book flights and/or accommodation? Don’t worry, Donna has a travel part to her business!!

Am I still stressed 6 weeks out from the wedding? Of course! I’m a bride after all that has to watch every single thing she eats now because I just went for my dress fitting😂

The big question is, would we have thought of all the little things, had sanity checks, stayed on budget and be having a wedding beyond our wildest dreams without Donna and her team? Absolutely not!

It’s important to note that I’m sure Donna and her team have the ability to swoop in and help last minute but Donna has been working with us for about a year and a half now. The time, effort and care that she has put in, far outweighs what she charges!

Genuinely, for anyone who is putting off planning their wedding because they can barely find time to change their address on their drivers license or who fears having to tell their family they hate their ideas or who doesn’t know where to start or who just wants a professional to add those extra little touches to your day, Donna and her team are a must have!

Being the control freak I am, I always panicked about the day. I envisioned sitting there getting my hair and makeup done and the caterer phoning me because they were lost (or even worse, my mom who would try and tell them, get frustrated and then hand the phone to me anyway). Going into these last few weeks knowing that on the day, it really is going to be all about my fiancée and I (and Donna will give a dirty side eye to anyone who tries to make it about them) calms me down more than I could have imagined!

Post wedding review to come after I am officially a married woman!

Donna was amazing. She put us at easy immediately and was literally holding our hands through out the whole process, finding solutions for any obstacle which was heading our way. Besides that she is just a lovely , smily with a good humor which helped enormously. Thank you Donna for all you have done for Simon and I .

Love,
Simon &Agi

Donna was an absolute miracle worker - in fact we call her Donna "no problem" Winning. My venue was utterly transformed from a much loved local football club to , as one guest put it "the classiest of class acts . The beautifully presented and delicious food (shout out for that
succulent salmon) her delightful and thoughtful staff , the ideas , the production and vitally the meticulous attention to detail was just first class .
So well done and such high quality
And she cared so much about me and my wishes and feelings.
We were just thrilled and we cannot recommend her highly enough . Anyone who chooses Donna to plan their wedding is making a very wise decision. We ❤️ you and your gorgeous team Donna xx

It is almost a year since our big day and we wanted to write to you and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did for us.

Every photo (and everywhere I looked on the day) had a special "Donna touch". You truly made our day beautiful. When we walked into our wedding suite at the end of the day and saw that you had made an arrangement of precious keepsakes from the day, I cried because it exemplified all the invisible hard work you had done for us.

It is unbelievable the level of excellence you put into our day. For everything to have run like clockwork in a fusion wedding with a gregarious crowd is one thing, but on top of this impossible feat, you found time to create beautiful cake arrangements, sort out the bridesmaid dresses, add touches to the table decorations, and so much more. Whatever anyone needed, you had up your sleeve. I don't understand how you did it, but you did.

Thank you for always being in our corner, looking after us through the day and having the right thing to say at the right time.

A year on, and we are happily married, looking back at a beautiful day and this is predominantly down to you and your team.

Everything was brilliant … made my day so special and organised couldn’t ask for anything better

We booked Donna as a partial planner and on-the-day coordinator for our initimate Hindu wedding, but truthfully we never once felt like she wasn't at the end of the phone to pitch in on any part of the planning process, whether it was connecting us with trusted suppliers, being a sounding board, keeping all our nerves and neuroses in check, and lending her creative genius to our wedding plans!

Many couples have a clear vision of what they want for their wedding day - but don't underestimate the knowledge and experience of someone who has done and seen it all a thousand times before! Donna artfully navigated the tightrope between our vision, budget and practical considerations to help bring our dream wedding to life.

The Winning Events team on the day were true professionals--we can't thank them enough for their impeccable attention to detail and taking good care of our suppliers and guests!

We needed an on the day wedding coordinator and came accross Donna Winning Events on Hitched.

Donna was quick to respond to my enquiry and we had a video call the same day to talk through what I needed. I had placed all my suppliers but wanted someone to take over the final bits and run the day for us in the same way I would if I wasnt the bride! Donna surpassed all expectations. She knows her job very well and she is very passionate about what she does :)

All comms are via a whatsapp group. I will highlight that you will need to be patient with DWE regarding responses as they do run a lot of events but they always come back (especialy if urgent) or send a placeholder comms. The week before the wedding the comms were excellent. I braindumped so many things last minute and Donna did all of it perfectly, supported by another member of her team on the day (Olivia)!

I had a clear vision and DWE executed it better than I expected. Donna looked after me all day too in a genuine caring way!

Very grateful to Donna and her team!!

We hired DWE to plan and execute our wedding. I’m very particular with how I like things done and always strive for perfection. I didn’t think it would be possible to find a company who could meet my demands. I was wrong! DWE superseded my expectations. They were professional from the start and updated me regularly during the planning process. On my wedding day they took care of everything. I was blown away at the level of detail. Thank you Donna. I couldn’t have done it without you and your team.

My husband and I brought Donna and her team in ‘last minute’ to fine tune the last major details of our wedding as it had become very stressful pulling it all together and we were running out of time.
Donna was amazing and took charge of all the tricky negotiations to bring our vision to life in spite of very tight protocols at our venue limiting what we wanted to do-she managed to slide around every obstacle, come up with great ideas for a love-filled and fun wedding theme and was super -efficient in communicating everything with us and her fees were very reasonable for all her hard work
She was delightful to work with, did exactly as she promised to deliver i.e. a wonderfully organised wedding and fully embraced the day with us with her sunny and enthusiastic nature- what a joy!
We won’t be surprised if Donna and her team become ‘Big’ in the wedding planning world, so book her up before her diary’s full!

Everyone needs a Donna!

3 months prior to our wedding the on the day coordinator we had booked informed us they were not longer offering their services, naturally creating unnecessary stress. Little did we know this was a complete blessing in disguise. We reached out to Donna Winning Events and within a day we instantly felt relaxed and even happier with how things were going. Donna was so attentive that it felt like she’d been planning with us from day one.

As with any wedding communication is pivotal, Donna provided us weekly updates via WhatsApp and communicated with all our suppliers weekly from 6 weeks until the wedding day.

The wedding day, wow, due to classic British weather in August our dreams of an outside wedding were well and truly washed away. Donna and her team, Jessica, effortlessly took everything in their stride and made the most magical inside venue for us utilising all the decorations and flowers we had arranged.

Guests were moved around throughout the day and the wedding breakfast room was decorated exactly how we had dreamed.

If you want an effortless process and most amazing wedding planner then Donna and her team are the ones!

Made the lead up stress free, gave lots of ideas and where always contactable. We had the best day as I was able to completely trust them and relax!

Hiring Donna for our wedding was undoubtedly the best decision we could have made. We asked her to be our ‘on the day’ wedding co-ordinator to ensure everything ran smoothly, of which it truly did (and more)!

As creatives, we had a lot of DIY and personal items we had crafted for our wedding, along with some very specific playlists and carefully planned timings, all of which we would never have been possible on the day without Donnas incredible organisational skills and creative eye.

From the very beginning, Donna took charge of all the intricate details involving suppliers and the venue, freeing us from any worries or need to chase after anything. She kept us and the suppliers updated regularly with a fantastically organised event sheet, which provided a clear plan of action for the day and continuously put our minds at ease. In addition, Donna shared invaluable tips and advice that enhanced the magic of our wedding, offering insights and ideas we would have never considered on our own.

On the actual wedding day, Donna truly was a superhero. Despite a few hiccups with the venue the day before, Donna quickly intervened and flawlessly restored everything to perfection. If any mishaps occurred during the day (as they often do at weddings), we were blissfully unaware because Donna had everything under control, ensuring that everything was executed perfectly. Not only did she attend to our needs as the bride and groom, but she also looked after our friends and family, ensuring they were in the right places at the right times and putting everyone at ease.
Everything seamlessly fell into place, happening precisely on time without us even noticing. Donna's friendly and attentive nature made her feel like a good friend and guest at our wedding rather than just a coordinator. She blended in seamlessly with the wedding party, and everyone loved her presence.

Hiring Donna as our wedding coordinator exceeded our expectations in every way. Her expertise, attention to detail, and warm personality made our day truly unforgettable. We are forever grateful to Donna for her exceptional service, and we highly recommend her to anyone seeking a flawless and dreamy wedding experience.

Donna and her team were professional, pleasant and easy to work with from the start. They have great ideas if you're unsure or if you just need someone to bounce ideas off and then when it comes to a few weeks before they will just make the process of organising suppliers so much easier. We found the knowledge and relationships with suppliers really helpful when negotiating certain things, with our venue for example, and they just put what you want at the centre of their work. The day itself was so much smoother and easier because they were there and it was easy to enjoy the day knowing that they would keep things ticking along. Would definitely recommend as they're efficient, easy to work with and extremely good value for money (especially with the NHS discount!)
