My husband and I used To Have and To Hire Events for our wedding decor on 12th December. Our wedding was postponed from 2020 and the To Have and To Hire Events team were very happy to help us when everything needed to be moved into 2021. During our first visit to their showroom, we were made to feel very welcome and were guided through all available options and came away feeling very secure and happy with our choices.
Luckily, once the wedding arrived, they were able to set up the day before and the final result was absolutely stunning!! I would definitely recommend them for future weddings

Sarah was brilliant in changing our date, our pick up/ drop off to delivery and item changes, then making up the differences in amounts and sending over new invoices promptly. Communication has been 10/10. I ordered umbrellas but the weather was kind to us and we didnt need them for our November wedding! If I I hadnt had ordered them of course it would have rained all day long! thank you guys!! X

What can I say Sara and the team are amazing! Being a postponed wedding they couldnt be any more accommodating and helpful and totally put my mind at ease when organizing the wedding! Unlike other companys I didnt get a sense of sales pressure from them they simply where their to help me create the wedding I wanted and boy did they, I trusted them in setting everything up how they thought was best after all they are the professional and both my ceremonial barn and reception barn just looked incredible. We hired the neon sign together is a beautiful place to be and after the

The venue I got married in was beautiful but I wanted to add my own little flair to it and tohaveandtohire really brought that for me. It was difficult for me to picture exactly what i needed and where etc but they had great vision and made it just stunning. It could be difficult at times to keep in contact over email but to be honest I can completely appreciate it with them having to go out to weddings all the time to decorate! They were accommodating of requests and lovely to work with. I'd definitely work with them again in the future!! A bit pricey so a bit of a luxury for a wedding but no

We recently hired a neon sign for our wedding and To Have and To Hire were brilliant! Communication throughout was great and they helped to make postponing our date a smooth process. We opted for delivery and collection which was superb and in the time frame that we requested. The neon sign itself was so beautiful and a talking point for our guests. We would definitely recommend!

To Have & To Hire did a great job of styling our wedding. From festoon lights to the light-up rustic LOVE letters, the garden games to the table centre pieces - all looked lovely and really tied in with our autumnal theme. It was a great help knowing that we could get all our decor items from one place and have them set-up and collect - so thanks guys
