"Thank you again for all your and Nicola's help! Honestly, I would not have coped without you guys. Thanks so much!"

"My husband and I live in the United States and after having rather ambitiously decided to get married in Kent, were obliged to plan our wedding remotely with the help of his Kent based parents. It was only in the final couple of months as the stress mounted that we decided to look into securing the services of a wedding coordinator, to ensure that after all of the time and effort that we had invested over many months everything would come together smoothly on the day. We found Dimples Events early in our search and from the very first email we knew they were the right people for us. From the start Simone was prompt, professional and warm, and she demonstrated a special care for detail which was so valuable to us. After just a few email exchanges and telephone calls I felt so much more at ease and confident about our preparations, and came to view Simone as my closest ally in our wedding planning adventure (my husband notwithstanding!).

In the final weeks before the wedding Simone made sure that we had thought of everything, and had worked with all of our suppliers to create a detailed plan for the day. By the time the day came I knew that there was nothing left for me to worry about and was able to focus all my attention on marrying the most wonderful man in the world and enjoying our special day together to the full. The day itself seemed to go off without a hitch (which is probably not the case!) and was for us perfect in every way. We realize that no small part of this was down to the efforts of Simone and Kirstie all of the meticulous care that went into their planning. Working with Dimples events was one of the best wedding planning decisions that we could have made."

"I had no thoughts of talking of a wedding planner when I started preparing for my wedding. I thought it would be cheaper to do the whole thing myself and anyway - who else but me would know instinctively what my guests would like and how I want my wedding to be?

I originally took on Simone at Dimples Events simply to dress the tables but as time went on she became so much more than that. Her encyclopedic knowledge of all things bridal meant that she instantly "got" what I was trying to do. She always gave an honest opinion of my ideas (even the really weird ones) and was a mine of information on suppliers saving me time and money on numerous occasions. It was fantastic to have someone outside of my family and bridesmaids to bounce ideas off of - I found that as Bridezilla took me over, everyone except Simone just wanted to humour me all the time. The day before my wedding I panicked, realising that the place names I had ordered myself were not suitable. Simone took over and several of my guests commented on how beautiful the handwritten cards were – all her own work! Without Simone I probably would have gone off the rails long before the big day and I truly believe that had I taken her on as a full time planner from the beginning I would have saved at least a quarter of my budget.

If you are unsure as to the value of having a full time wedding planner, please trust me on this – she will pay for herself several times over. Even my new husband believes that and that is really saying something!"

"For anyone wondering whether or not having a wedding coordinator is an extravagance, think no more and hire Dimples Events for your wedding straight away. We were hesitant, feeling that we’d already planned much of our wedding, having found a venue and most of our suppliers, plus our budget was already stretched and adding yet another supplier to the list seemed a crazy idea. But as soon as Simone and Nicola came on board we instantly started to save money as they added such value by way of their industry contacts which were absolutely amazing for us – particularly the beautiful trees from Topiary House. But even more valuable and something that was completely priceless to us was the feeling that we were in such utterly safe and professional hands and dealing with people who knew exactly what they were doing. As the wedding day approaches it gets hectic and feels daunting and so it was very reassuring to be led through the final preparations by people who have overseen successful wedding days countless times before and can give advice as to what works and what doesn’t.

Whilst some brides may already know what accessories they want for their wedding day. I required a bit more help and Simone was always instantly on hand with ideas and photos to inspire me and never ever seemed to tire of my indecision. Her attentive yet calm and professional approach was also perfect for handling any hitches that came up and for dealing with both of us when the preparations started to take their toll. By hiring Dimples Events we were able to enjoy the last few weeks much more than we would’ve had we not had Simone’s good humor to get us through it. We couldn’t recommend Dimples Events highly enough from our first few conversations with Simone when it became immediately apparent that she was hugely proactive and efficient to our stunningly decorated marquee that Nicola Simone and the team transformed on the day. Looking back we both now agree that this was undoubtedly our wisest investment of the whole wedding."
Heather and Darren

"Having arranged most of the wedding ourselves, it was really refreshing to find someone like Simone at Dimples to be on hand to set up on the day and make sure all the detail was there. Her approach to planning and detail is very thorough. She leaves nothing to chance!! She exceeded my expectations on our wedding day and the venue looked fantastic. Everyone commented on how great everything looked. Simone’s services are great value for money and you get some great chats thrown in also!!! Thanks very much for everything."

"Dear Kirstie, Sorry it has taken so long to get in touch with you, I lost all your details! Your meeting up with Ray and I was invaluable to the proper running of our blessing ceremony on 13/09/08 – time flies! We really appreciated your meeting with us and your professional advice. I hope the recession is not affecting your work too much – you are very good at what you do. I am organising a 65th birthday for Ray later in the year and would love to hire your services then – a small token of thanks."

"When you decide to get married, you have so much to do and it can feel quite overwhelming. You have your budget to set and everyone seems to have advice for you. The 3 areas you should spend your money on are your photographer, your rings and your wedding planner. The help, advice and contacts a wedding planner can provide is invaluable, they can also save you time and money.

The service Simone provided David and I was just this, invaluable.

We had an amazing day, thanks to Simone, the only thing she couldn’t fix for us was the weather!! But it didn’t spoil it at all. Simone’s standards are extremely high and nothing is too much trouble. It doesn’t matter how big or small your budget is you have to find room for Simone!! She was happy to be involved as little or as much as we chose and was always honest in her opinions and advice. She feels like a friend and wants the absolute best for you as a couple and her approach to the whole experience – as if it was her own wedding, makes you realize how much she cares. The work she does is fantastic and we cannot recommend her enough. Because she cares, you instantly like and trust her, which I think is the key to her success. She exceeded our expectations and delivered on everything promised. She is totally reliable, which, when things are not always going as they should do, you need that support. Not forgetting her service and support doesn’t always stop at the wedding day either. We wish her lots of success and best wishes for the future (not that she needs it!).

I will miss some of our chats but hope it won’t end here!!"

"We would just like to say a HUGE thank you to both Simone and Nicola for all the help and support they gave us in the weeks leading up to and on our special day itself. You came up with so many good ideas and many things we hadn’t even thought of!

After initially being concerned that an ‘On the Day Planner’ would be an extravagance in an already escalating budget, we would now recommend your services to anyone!

We both had an absolutely fantastic wedding day and would like to thank you both for making it completely stress free! We know that it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly if you hadn’t been there. Your timing, attention to detail and discreetness did not go un-noticed and meant that we were able to sit back and enjoy our day without all the stress of what we would do if anything went wrong. The day went SO smoothly and that can only be a testament to your-selves and your sheer hard work. We will be forever grateful to you for being part of our wedding and ensuring that it was a completely trouble free day!"

''I have worked with Simone on several occasions and her attention to detail and planning is second to none... she covers every eventuality, putting the couples mind at rest so that they really can enjoy their big day. I would recommend her to anyone that needs help with the smallest of tasks or the whole day planning''

“Simone is undoubtedly one of the most thorough service providers I have had the privilege to work with. Her planning leaves nothing to chance and has the unexpected covered! Wedding planning is a very personal tailored service and Simone delivers on this, far above the average expectation from both her client and suppliers! Well done and thank you.”

"Whilst arranging most of our wedding ourselves, we could not have done it with out help from Simone at “Dimples Events”. Simone gave us a wedding pack, which helped us to plan out and budget for our big day. With these details in mind Simone researched venues & photographers to suit our budget. Simone recommended our wedding venue and we were very impressed with their services on our wedding day. Simone also recommended our photographer who was very friendly and captured our special day just the way we wanted. We had a specific items that we wanted as our center pieces and Simone did her utmost to find them using her many contacts.

Thank you very much for all your help. We are so pleased with how our day went and hope you will make lots of other couples as happy as we are with everything you did."

"Thank you so much for putting us in touch with our photographer and caterer. The photographers were so friendly, and at the same time professional. We were over the moon with our wedding album and plan to use their services again in the near future. The album we chose was unusual which made it all the more special and the price of the whole package really was unbeatable, we would highly recommend to anyone.

Our caterers were fabulous. We had to get them to check the quote they gave us as it was a lot less than we had expected to pay! The food was delicious and there was so much of it. We would highly recommend them and they made our day so much less stressful. We completely trusted them to make our reception a success and they did not let us down.

We are sure that without Simone's help and advice our wedding would have cost a lot more. Simone listened to our needs and wants and then put us in touch with the right people, these people helped make our day the perfect wedding day. Thanks Simone."

"Simone attended a training course taught by myself in April 2006. I was incredibly pleased at her understanding of the industry as a result of her thorough initial research. I have no doubt that Simone will bring a lot of dedication to her future clients and as such I wish her all the best"

"Myself and Lee cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us leading up to and on our wedding day.

When we arrived at the reception we were amazed at how it had been transformed. Everyone commented how beautiful it looked and how much it reflected our personalities. This not only showed how well you got to know us, but how you listened to even the smallest of details.

My Dad was so grateful that you quickly stepped in and announced the speeches on his behalf, as his nerves got the better of him. We entrusted you completely with our wedding and due to your precise planning and fantastic ideas we were able to enjoy our special day totally stress free. We could not recommend you highly enough and we would like to take this opportunity to wish you continued success in the future and to thank you again for making our dreams come true."

"Simone was always on the end of the phone and always quick to respond to our requests. She became a friend over the six months she helped us and never tried to talk us out of our ambitious aims. I don't know many people who would be so calm when we wanted to build the venue to have the wedding in, three months before the wedding!

She was always sensitive to making sure she understood what we had in mind for the day and was happy to have as much or as little involvment in the different stages of planning. On our big day Simone was discreet and efficient and everything went without a glitch. I would definately recommend using Simone to plan your wedding regardless of your style or budget. She has a good heart and I shall miss our chats!"
