Maria provided us with an exceptional service and was fantastic value for money. She even travelled to our venue during a snow storm to decorate for us and we really appreciated it the next day when we saw how beautiful our venue looked. A fantastic service. Thank you Maria

I can't speak highly enough of the service we received from Beckwith Events. They managed our wedding almost from beginning to end, from arranging the dress fittings to dressing the venue and everything was perfect. I have already recommended them to a friend and would do so again without hesitation. Maria was an absolute star. Incredibly helpful and full of fantastic ideas and suggestions. Our day was perfect and I can't thank you enough.
The Flower Room
Just to say what a pleasure it was dealing with “ Beckwith Events”, who made the hiring of the candelabra so easy, it was a great help having a sample candelabra to begin with, and the rest were couriered to my shop in plenty of time before the wedding, and equally collected from us a few days after . a very efficient service.
Thank you.

Mr and Mrs Ruggles
I was extremely happy with the service that you provided us, you could not have been more helpful! You were very efficient and such a pleasure to do business with.
The quality of the material for the covers and the sashes were fantastic.I loved the organza sashes, they went with our colour theme so well and you have a good variety of shades to choose from.
Everyone commented on how lovely the chair covers looked. I will definitely be recommending you in the hopefully near future.
Thanks again!
Mrs Jo Stout
You were fantastic throughout and it was something i didn't have to worry about and you personal touch was great, calling to check if i wanted white or off white chair covers, it really does make a difference.
A Huge Thankyou

I used Beckwith Events for Chair Cover Hire in June 2009 as a surprise for my sister Sarah's wedding. Chair covers were something my sister would have liked but the wedding budget just couldn't manage to cover!
I found Maria at Beckwith Events extremely approachable and helpful and to my surprise the cost of the chair covers were very reasonable and in comparison to other companies very competitive.
The service I received from Beckwith Events was excellent and the chair covers - Ivory with a gold sash were beautiful and put the finishing touch to the reception room.
My sister was very happy and I would like to say a big thank you to Maria and her team for a great hassle free service, good value and a pleasure to deal with.
I would highly recommend to anyone.
Thanks again Maria.
Mrs Karen Hill

Thank you for all your help and kindness

A collection of the testimonials we received as part of the Wedding Industry Awards 2012
Beckwith Events totally exceeded my expectations, the room was beautiful it really had the wow factor. Maria herself was a pleasure to work with, it was as if she could read my mind she knew exactly how I wanted it to look and I totally got the wow facotor on the day. I didnt need to worry about anything and had total confidence that my room would be stunning. The price was excellent and I also got a few extras and discount on additional items. I would totally reccomend them to anyone.”
“very helpful, gave me confidence that I could leave my day in their hands, everything was sorted perfectly and the price was outstanding, the best anywhere! very friendly service too.”
“Maria was a pleasure to work with. She responded immediately to any of my emails and telephone calls, which really helps when you are stressed out planning a wedding! You would hope that this is to be expected of everyone in the industry but not all of the suppliers that we had did this. She listened to what we wanted and recommended her products based on how we wanted the day to look and feel. The prices were very reasonable, in fact, much lower than all of the other event dressers which I researched in the North East (and there were so many of them!). The lower price did not in any way reflect lower quality of product or service as she really did deliver in both respects. If I could attach a photo of our day to this vote then I would - please feel free to email me if you'd like to see how it looked! I've already recommended Maria to two of my work colleagues who are getting married and one of my best friends.”
“Excellent service quality product”
“Maria listened to what we wanted, rather than pushing her ideas...and she made our ideas happen! She was a calming influence in the stress of it all. She was there exactly when she said she would be there. She provided a service that we couldn't do for ourselves. She was friendly, and helpful in getting the room prepared. She offered extras for no extra cost. it was lovely doing business with her.”
“Note. I was the mother of the bridegroom & was worried about how they were setting about having the venue dressed etc. They talked about doing it themselves. I realised this would be difficult. Not living in the area I got online & contacted Maria after browsing her website. We met at the venue several weeks later & immediately I felt the worry lifted. She was so friendly & helpful & discussed all areas where she could assist & drew up a plan. She brought samples etc & we were able to dress up a table & chair to get the effect we wanted. This was approx 6 months prior the date. We were able to pay in stages which was helpful. Finally when the day came & we saw the venue transformed, I knew my confidence in Maria & her team had not been misplaced but was fully justified. A great job well done. Thank you Maria.”
“A very professional, friendly and trustworthy company that i would definitely recommend. Once i told them what we wanted, they took care of everything so we had nothing to worry about.”
“Maria at Beckwith Events was fantastic from start to finish. She helped me create the perfect table set up, it was exactly as I had imagined. She matched the colours and styles perfectly, and it really helped when she had a meeting with me beforehand to show me a typical table set up. After the wedding she also emailed me a photo of how the tables looked all dressed up which was great. Cannot speak highly enough of the business!! Thank you for helping make our wedding day so perfect!! Mr and Mrs Fisher xx”
“From the initial contact with Maria and her team the service was fantastic. They couldn't have been more accomodating, from sending samples in the post, making recommendations and suggestions to enhance my day and helping to remove stress from the day itself. On the wedding morning, the staff were there early and all set up efficiently. They were very friendly and professional. I would (and have) recommend Beckwith Events, without a doubt.”
“I have used Beckwith Events for two events now (my wedding and also a work event). I have found them to be very professional, great at communicating. The product was wonderful (candelabras) and excellent value for money. I would thoroughly recommend Beckwith Events to friends, family & colleagues.”
“Great value and service , took so much pressure of us on our special day! They created stuff for us that I didn't think possible.. Fairy tale wedding!!”

“The service provided by Beckwith events was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble and the quality of the product was amazing.

Everyone commented on the day about how beautiful the room looked and we would definately recemommend their service to our family, friends and strangers!”
“Having beckwith events for my wedding was great, as soon as i had contact with them over the telephone i found maria to be very warming and genuine. I was given lots of good advice and ideas, when i did see the wedding room it was amazing far more than id expected and really wowed myself and my guests.My budget was not a lot but beckwith events give me a 5 star service.”
“I saw the advertisement for Beckwith Events on the internet who looked like a very capable and professional service, I backed it up with a telephone call and it went from there, Maria made our day very special everyone commented on the room and how amazing it looked, from a planning point of view Maria made everything so simple nothing was a bother and she just advised me to leave it all with her while she liased with Hotel etc I would recommend to anyone planning their big day.”
“Maria was excellent from the very start. She arranged to meet me at the venue, so that I could try various combinations of chair covers. She was very patient when I changed my mind about colours (as brides do!) and I was thrilled with the appearance of the chair covers/ sashes on the day of the wedding.”
“I would unreservedly recommend Beckwith Events to anyone seeking a professional yet friendly service to dress and event for any occasion. Throughout the arrangements of planning my wedding Maria Beckwith stove to provide me with the most competitive prices and even took time to source an extra product which I required to ensure all of my requirements were fully met. When Maria arrived to dress the room for my wedding she made me feel very at ease and provided an excellent service. The room looked fantastic!”
“Maria is lovely, great service would defiantly recommend them.”
“Maria did a fabulous job at our wedding. It was exactly how I wanted it, stylish, classy and understated. We were so happy. Everything was perfectly set up or our arrival too. Lots of the guests commented on how beautiful everything looked. Brilliant!!”
“great lady with fantastic products - the venue looked amazing dressed up with her candelabras xx”
“The service I recieved from Beckwith Events was outstanding. I was able to contact Maria at any time of the day for any query large or small and she replied to me instantly. The room on the day was made up beautifully I had absolutely no discrepancies I would recommend her to anybody. Definitely the right choice for us, all our guests commented on how lovely the room looked. I vote for Beckwith Events all the way!!”
“I'm pretty sure the run up to our wedding would have been a bit of a shambles without Maria and Beckwith Events! I have MS and my memory is shocking - my organisational skills even worse. My husband is a star but didn't even know where to start when it came to organising a wedding. Maria made everything so easy prior to the big day; even to the point finding dress suppliers, booking my appointments for me and driving me there herself - she made everything stressless. As to the day itself; the venue was beautifully dressed and the day went perfectly. Working with Beckwith Events was a joy from start to finish and I can't recommend them highly enough.”
“I had got married in Las Vegas because i couldnt handle planning ect, i did not tell family/friends, i done a rockstar move haha. Needless too say our familys were least pleased, and wanted a gigantic after party, i was completely baffled till i come across beckworths events, rang Maria, before i could turn around she was at my door with her samples and note book ! I dont do anything by halves and wanted a completely outrages party, nearly nude butlers, sexy sailor barmaids, dancing fairys on stilts, showgirls on stilts, bucking broncos, champagne sprays, band, lcd lights ... the list goes on ..... even down to the [pink carpet] for guests to walk down ... to which maria donated from a cut off from her daughters new bedroom carpet ! Everything was taken care off, stress free, every expectation .... someone was looking down on me when i stumbled across Beckwith events .... if you would like pictures ect i will gladley xxx”
