Easy Events

Our Engagement Party

When we got engaged we decided to announce it by having a Garden Party. This all had to be organised within a 3 week timescale. Matthew from EasyEvents helped us to achieve this.

We first had a brain storm session with Matthew which we worked out exactly what we wanted the day to be like. This was a great help as we then all could decide who was doing which part of the planning. We did our own invites and Matthew organised Marquees, chairs, tables, cutlery, glasses hire, waitress staff, caterers, photographer etc. He came back to us with a range of price options for each of these. We then chose the appropriate companies we wanted to work with and Matthew arranged the contracts with each company.

On the run up to the event Matthew kept us right by organising us to collect items and pay for them. He gave us clear instructions on when and how to do this.
He ensured the marquees and lighting were up correctly and coordinated this all to happen. He gave us ideas for added decorations that gave everything that 'finishing touches' look. He had a very practical 'hands on approach' and it felt reassuring to have him in charge.

He laid out the table & chairs etc and ensured everything was in its place for the start of the party.
Throughout the planning, running up to and the organisation on the day to the big clear up afterwards Matthew and Easy Events were and asset to have on board. It made our day so very enjoyable and because of his flexibility regarding costs it helped us keep within our budget. I'm sure he arranged for the sun to shine also!!

Wedding Testimonials

Matthew Thank you !

In Jan 2008 we started planning our wedding to take place on 27th December 2008. We live in London but decided to get married in Edinburgh because we loved Scotland so much, but realised then we might have quite a large task on our hands because of the geographies between cities. One of the first weekends we visited Scotland we luckily visited the weekend of the Scottish Wedding Show and so we popped into see if we could find local suppliers/ and really just general ideas. I was quite set on planning my whole wedding from start to finish as I like organising everything! So didn't expect to need to use a wedding organiser at all. We met Matthew from Easyevents at the Fayre and he convinced us that it is not always the case that wedding planners are expensive and excessive, we knew then that Matthew was happy to organise part of the wedding with no pressure which suited us. As we aren't from the area, we decided there is only so much internet searching you can do and your not guaranteed reputable suppliers. We used Easyevents to source our Florist, Photographer, Video guy & DJ and I must say I could not have chosen better suppliers myself, even after hours of endless trawling on the internet. Our flowers were magnificent, with such unusual flair, the Photographer was amazing as he was not intrusive on our day yet managed to get the most natural and excellent shots. Our Video was amazing and the DJ was excellent fun and really flexible on songs we really wanted played on the night.

We found amazing value for money and superb service from Easyevents and I would recommend them to any Bride who needs to have piece of mind that someone else can help with your important plans and always deliver to your high standards!

Hello Matthew

That's Kirstie and I back from our Honeymoon now - South Africa was wonderful - everything went so well, did you plan that as well !

I just wanted to thank you for helping make our most important day so special and relaxing. You took all the stress out of the planning by not only taking care of the big things but making sure the little things (that make the difference) were covered off too.

To get that marquee up and looking so good for 250 - in the middle of winter was just great and people are still talking about it - The band that you recommended made the night !!

With your attention to detail and friendly and professional manner I am sure that you will go far.

Warmest regards

Dear Matthew,

You`re WONDERFUL!! My sisters wedding day went like clockwork. There were no last minute panics or sleepless nights. He saw to it that every little detail was covered right down to shopping for shoes.

I will never attempt to organize another special event on my own again.

Dear Matthew,

I am writing to thank you so much for planning my wedding. You made a fantastic job and many of my guests and family remarked how smoothly the wedding ran. You were always there at hand when i needed you and then gave me gentle reminders of photos or time for our meal to commence. You definitely made my day extra special, relaxing and fun. Everyone commented what a relaxed atmosphere there was at the wedding, which is so rare these days as it can get so tense and often people lose sight of why we are all there.

You met me out of my car when I arrived at my ceremony and you popped me in the car to make sure we got home safely.

I can never thank you enough and I think you have definitely found your remit in life!

Hi Everyone,

If you`re looking for a reason to hire Matthew as your Wedding Planner, look no further....he`s your man! His skills and expertise were tested to the limits for our wedding in November and he carried out the zillion tasks on our `to do` list with the greatest professionalism and enthusiasm, all the while with an amazing sense of humour and definitely helped to keep me from turning into a `Bridezilla!`. His attention to the minutest detail is impeccable and the day certainly would not have gone as smoothly without him on board. In all honesty, the consummate professional. Great Job, Very Well Done.

Thanks Matthew.

Mr. and Mrs. Grissom

Thanks you Matthew

We had a good idea of where and how our wedding would be and planning was underway but we needed some help with finding and booking good, reliable suppliers and firming up some of the finer details of our big day. Matthew was able to provide the lighter touch that we needed, fitting in effortlessly with our existing plans and bringing new ideas and sound advice to the table.

His suggestions and ideas brought a special touch to our wedding day and his support, particularly on the run up to our wedding was invaluable and really eased the pressure during those busy last few days. Matthew was on hand on the day as well to make sure everything ran smoothly so that all we had to do was enjoy our special day.

Party Testimonials

"I found `EASYEVENTS`' on the internet. As I was trying to organise a family party to celebrate a local gala day event, I knew I needed someone with some local knowledge. I was a bit apprehensive at first because I had never employed a party planner before but as soon as Matthew sat down in my living room and we started talking I knew that the risk hadpaid off.

Matthew was not just helpful, he pushed me to think of things that I had not considered. He was also quite intuitive. After his careful and gentle questioning of what I wanted to achieve and he summarised things with "you want conventional elegance with a creative twist" I knew he really understood what I was trying to achieve. From then on, I felt I was in good hands.
That feeling continued. In the run up to the event, he would call me frequently to find out how I was feeling and what I was thinking. He picked up those arrangements which he felt it was most cost effective for him to do, advising me what I was to do, and he made sure that I did it.

The day before the event, Matthew spent a lot of his time supporting me and helping me to arrange things. He has an uncompromisingly high standard, which matched mine, so I was quite happy for him to take over my home and do what he thought needed to be done. We worked so well together. He also knows how to calm you down when preparations get fraught! And on the day, once he arranged probably the most beautiful day of 2008, he gently, surreptiously took over the running of the day, allowing me to get ready, enjoy the day, spend time with my guests and feel so special. He, and his team, made things work like clockwork. I was so impressed.

I can also testify to his contacts. Caterer was good, his team were just like family and the photographer he recommended took photographs that have given so much joy months after the event."
