I have used this company twice now

I have used this company twice now. First time for a birthday party and the second a first communion party. I have to say they are brilliant. They are so helpful and full of ideas and really care about you and trying to please you and cater for the vision you have. They listen and respect your ideas and budget. All guests are so positive at each events I will definitely use them again and again. Keep going you guys. Xx tala

Fantastic Wedding Disco!

We were so lucky to have these guys dj at our wedding reception! They went above and beyond our expectations! Nothing was too much! Our wedding was just over 9 years ago now and still to this day people comment how great they were! Such a lovely family business which has expanded greatly in recent years, I am so looking forward to using them again at some point in the future!

T-Shirt for my sons first…

I ordered a T-Shirt for my sons first birthday party with “ I am one today.”
Written on the front. The product looked fantastic and was of great quality also. It arrived within a couple days and was well packaged. Thank you to Jeanette for making his birthday so special.

Wedding Reception Decoration - Highly Recommend

Mike and Jeanette really stepped up quite last minute for us when we decided we needed some more decoration for our wedding reception venue. From start to finish they were excellent at communicating, friendly and super helpful! Our venue was transformed due to the drapes and lighting they put in for us and we are so glad we choose to use them. We honestly couldn't recommend them enough! Mr and Mrs Burn x

They went above and beyond with their service!

I live in the USA and so I arranged my UK wedding over the phone. It was quite a challenge, I was at a loss on how to design table decorations over the phone. I tried several suppliers and then called Busy Bee and spoke to Jeanette. Within 5 minutes she'd helped me decide the design and then arranged everything I needed for a very good price. It couldn't have been easier from ordering to delivery/setup and clean up, the whole process was seamless, stress free and it looked lovely on the day. Mike arrived at the venue on the morning of the wedding and he is a perfectionist, he went out of his way to ensure everything was just right, it was perfect. I highly recommend using them for any event you have, be it large or small. I will definitely be using them again!

What a truly fantastic service

What a truly fantastic service I received from Mike and his team. We held a 50th birthday party for which I needed the room decorated. The room looked incredible and he kept me updated every step of the way. He sent me pictures of the room after it was decorated and came back next day to take it all away meaning I could focus and enjoy the big event. I would have no hesitation booking this company again and I will most definitely be recommending to all my friends and family. Thank you so much Mike and team for helping make this party stress free and for all the help you gave me. The party was a huge success and so many guest commented on how wonderful the room looked. Thank you. Mrs Reid

Party venue pimped!

Busy Bee transformed a grim hall into a fantastic 1960’s night club themed venue for my 50th Birthday Party. The party went with a bang! Thanks to Mike and Jeanette for helping make it such a success.

Wedding Party lighting and accessories with Busy Bee Events

We used Busy Bee Events for lighting and accessories for our wedding party. They were fantastic. Mike has so many ideas and suggestions. When we visited the venue with him he really helped with his suggestions and how we could do run the fairy lights in the beams and outside lighting and table decorations. During a stressful period Busy Bee Events were great. They showed up when they said they would and were enthusiastic despite having been working late into the previous night and up early for other collections and set ups. It is a family run company and they certainly do it with passion. Thank you Mike and Jeanette, I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to others.

Fantastic service

Really bent over backwards to make our wedding extra special. Made helpful suggestions and delivered everything on time and in budget to a very high standard. They also provided the disco in the evening, and after asking us a lot of questions played all our favourite tunes.

Great service with a smile :)

We used Busy Bee Event at our wedding and would wholeheartedly recommend them. Mike and Jeannette were great to work with, very friendly and professional with a fantastic playlist available. 7 years on and our friends still comment on how great the wedding party was.

Professional, Friendly, Unique Couple Who Will Transform Your Day !!!!!

We got married in June 2012 and first approached Busy Bee Events to supply chair covers from memory. However after meeting Mike and Jeanette we soon realised that they could offer so much more and they would soon become our one stop shop for everything for our wedding which removed so much stress for us. They transformed our wedding venue to an amazing setting, so much so that even the staff at the hotel said when they opened the doors they had never seen it looking so amazing and wanted to know who we had used to transform the venue !!!!! They offered several free upgrades and even a beautiful floral steel archway that had just been delivered to them. I would recommend them to anyone who is getting married, they will make your life so much easier and make your amazing day even more amazing !! Thank you for everything you did for us and see you at the next big party Mike for your DJ skills. Thank you Keith and Clare

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!

I couldn't recommend Busy Bee Events enough. We booked their disco to come for our wedding and were thrilled with the set up... so much more than your average disco and they were so helpful before the event too. They took a note of a rough playlist to get an idea of our tastes and were able to play everything we asked for right from some good old cheesy tunes to modern chart hits and everything in between. Ryan came and ran the disco for us and was so helpful and professional on the day a real credit to the team. The lights and the whole set up was so much more than we could have hoped for and very well priced too. We won't hesitate to recommend yo to anyone who asks and next time we have an event we will definitely be looking to you for more than just the disco package. Thank you for helping to make our day really special.

Great and professional service.

Mike and Jeanette provide a very professional service, and the range of services they do provide is vast.

Jeanette is helpful to speak to at the start of the planning because of this, as you can plan most, if not all, of your day with her help. She also has a good selection of local people you can go to who provide anything they cannot do.

I would recommend them to anyone.

Busy bee events

Mike and Jeanette were very welcoming into there home to discuss our wedding plans. They have a huge variety of options to choose from, which helped us massively to decide on what we wanted for our perfect day! Both were very professional on the day with the table arrangements, decorations and we also had mike do the disco in the evening which was amazing. We would happily recommend you to anyone. Thank you so much again, Kelly & Gary Osler

My Husband and I cannot thank the amazing team at Busy Bee Events enough! They were just AMAZING! Completely trusted them to make our day perfect. Very professional and great to work with for our wedding. We had various services from the Disco and dance floor, sweetcart, bingo, wall and ceiling drapes etc! Everything went to plan because of their experience and detail. We happily recommend them to everyone! Wishing them very best for the future and thank you again!

Thank you so much guys for doing such…

Thank you so much guys for doing such an amazing job on our wedding, it wouldn’t of made it complete if you guys hadn’t done such an amazing job not just on the actual day with the venue but even with our invites( so many people commented on them saying how lovely they were) I would highly recommend BusyBee Events to anyone I know that is getting married as you put 100% effort and professionalism into your work.

Flexible and nothing is too much trouble.

With a short notice wedding reception booking, due to venue issues Mike and all at BusyBee went over and above duty to ensure all was set up for our Asian Wedding Reception - even his daughter helped out by laying out out home-made decorations! Plus they tided up everything the next day. Thank you for all your help.
