Tim and his Apollo Event team are awesome! He created the most magical party for my family and it was quite simply one of the best nights of our lives. The thank you letters, cards and messages are testament that every other guest felt the same and this was because of Tim's attention to detail to ensure everything went without a hitch. I can totally recommend his professionalism, talent and flair to deliver the best party ever! Huge thanks!

We've had the pleasure of working with Tim and the team at Apollo on numerous events over the past 10 years and always look forward to the opportunity. From intimate bespoke weddings to mass capacity cultural events (with a few VVV-IPs thrown in along the way) it's always a relief to know that Apollo are at the helm. From the first meeting to the post event de-rig, their enthusiasm, professionalism and creativity are second to none. Charles Spall - MD Key Structures Ltd

There arent enough superlatives to sufficiently describe Apollo events. My sisters and I all had our 21st birthdays with them and as a result our family now has a reputation for the parties we throw. All the credit has to go to Tim and his team who just manage to create the most incredible nights every time without fail!!!
