Our expertise extends to venue dressing, lighting solutions, and bespoke event accessories across Berkshire and surrounding counties. We prioritise personal consultations to understand clients' visions, ensuring every event reflects individual preferences while maintaining our commitment to quality and innovation. With extensive experience in managing weddings, birthdays, and corporate functions, we combine creative flair with practical execution to deliver stress-free celebrations.

Our team's dedication to excellence is evidenced by our 5 Star Hygiene certification, public liability insurance, and numerous client testimonials praising our professionalism and reliability. Based in Newbury, we serve Berkshire, Hampshire, Surrey, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire, offering flexible solutions from intimate gatherings to large-scale events. Our luxury vehicle fleet and award-winning ice cream cart add unique touches to any occasion, demonstrating our comprehensive approach to event management.

Caravatti Events have been true superstars that I really cannot reccommend enough. After very last minute wedding venue issues, followed by unexpected band demands one week prior to the wedding, Rodney has consistently had my back and been incredibly supportive and helpful - way beyond what is needed. We can truly not thank you enough for your help and cannot wait to have your marquee at our wedding next week. FIVE STAR!

I went to an amazing event hosted by Caravatti last night. The overall look and feel of the venue was absolutely stunning. It was warm, classy and can you believe SMELT amazing!!! I have NEVER been to an event where the smell of the venue was an actual thing? It was mind blowing. One thing I really noticed was that the organisers/owners we SO… laid back?!? Quite often, event planners can have a very hectic and rushed demeanour about them but they were so relaxed, kind and fun to be around. I couldn’t recommend them enough and look forward to using them in the future.

We hired the Bentley GTC for our New Year’s Eve wedding & Rodney was flawless from the very start of the quotation to the end, very professional & we’re still smiling now!
We’d definitely recommend Caravatti events to anyone looking for luxury and the best service you could ever find.

I used Caravatti Events to hire chairs for my birthday party. They were everything I wanted - competitive pricing, quick to respond via email, and delivered and collected the chairs at the agreed times.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with the team at Caravatti Events on a number of occasions and they always deliver and go above and beyond. If you are looking for value for money, that personal touch and to be "wowed" by the end results then this is the company for you. Thank you to the whole team at Caravatti!
