1. Doli Events Ltd
Address: Lynnwood Business Development Centre, Lynnwood Terrace
Phone: +44 788 330 3015
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 9 AM – 5 PM
Not every party planner accepts a wedding where multiple cultures can clash. Doli Events Ltd would happily accept the challenge, though. In fact, they’re great at it!
We’ve heard of clients’ stories where they did an Indo-English fusion, and even a Mehndi and wedding day at the same time.
Our team noticed that they’re excellent at listening to a client’s vision and then sprinkling their own design magic on top. This turns a rough idea you throw at them into an elevated thing that wows guests.
Clients also said they’re very professional and helpful. Tuhel, for example, was reported to figure out exactly what you need and then deliver the goods on time with zero fuss.
We highly recommend them for the more budget-conscious couple who still wants a well-managed event. But if you’re a bride or groom looking for high-end luxury designs with an unlimited budget, their practical weddings might be too ordinary for you.
With them, we didn’t feel anything was missing
“Planning and organising a wedding is stressful and this one element was completely stress free as your team were professional and worked with the events manager. Many thanks to the Doli team for creating our vision with the colours and specific requirements we had. We got so many compliments and although we booked last minute with you we didn’t feel anything was missing. I am looking forward to booking again!”

They cater to your particular taste and alter things for you
“Doli Events is by far the best wedding planner in the North East!!! They decorated my wedding day perfectly and it was exactly how I envisioned it to be. I loved the floral rings on stage was a unique touch and got so many compliments on it. They cater to your particular taste and alter things for you. Thank you so much for everything!”

2. Chai Events Ltd
Address: 8 Invincible Drive, Armstrong Industrial Park
Phone: +44 191 603 0633
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
The word on the street was that the Chai Events Ltd team is an absolute stickler for timing. Clients have confirmed this to be true.
They’re also great at vendor diplomacy. They have this effortless, amazing relationship with venues and external teams that makes everything click.
What they do best is act as a bulletproof shield between the happy couple and the inevitable chaos of a wedding day.
Because they’re doing all the running around, the families actually get to sit down, drink champagne, and enjoy the party.
If we look closely at what makes them strong, it’s the lethal combination of being hyper-organised while maintaining a calming presence. This makes them an ideal match for high-stress clients.
Because they’re fiercely good at what they do, their calendar fills up fast. We suggest booking them as early as you can.
They made sure that we enjoyed the celebrations
“Chai events help coordinate our daughters wedding. They were absolutly fantastic. Made the entire event come together. Pranali an Sandeep were brilliant. So very helpful. They made sure that we enjoyed the celebrations and took all the stress away, ensuring that there we no glitches. Thank you Chai events.”

Professional from start to finish for my wedding
“Sandeep and all the staff were fully professional from start to finish for my wedding. They made sure the room looked stunning, organised the entire day plan and made sure to keep to the strictest of timings. There was not one person in my entire wedding party who did not say they did not have a good time and that is all credit to Chai Events. The dance floor was bouncing all night! I would highly recommend them for anyone who has an event coming up.”

3. North East Wedding Planner
Address: HARTLEY HOUSE, Chester-le-Street
Phone: +44 796 024 3534
Business hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 9:30 AM – 5 PM
- Friday: 9 AM – 5 PM
- Saturday: 10 AM – 12 PM
- Sunday: Closed
North East Wedding Planner is a powerhouse when it comes to wedding planning. We actually watched Donna and her team orchestrate a massive, opulent setup.
Two giant marquees were overflowing with florals, endless lighting—it was insanely complicated. But Donna just strolled through the chaos, making it look entirely effortless. She’s great at pulling the logistics without breaking a sweat.
What makes their team so incredibly strong is their unmatched local knowledge and their superpower for outsourcing. They hunt down the best suppliers!
Other couples we talked to also shared how she took their rough vision and brought it to life perfectly.
Now, their premium level of execution comes with a higher price tag. Based on the clients, it’s definitely worth it, though.
We cannot thank Donna enough for making it happen!
“Donna was incredible from start to finish. She took our vision of the perfect wedding day and it came alive! She is meticulous, creative and amazing to work with. Donna helped us to source the best of the best suppliers, providing us with 100% confidence in how magical our day would be. It simply was the best day and weekend of our life and we cannot thank Donna enough for making it happen! Elaina and Bobby”

So warm and friendly, but also super organised
“Donna provided on-the-day coordination for our village hall wedding in May. Donna was an absolute dream to work with – so warm and friendly, but also super organised, knowledgeable and professional. She really took the time to understand all of the practical details but also – more importantly – how we wanted the day to feel and what was important to us. It made a big difference on the day knowing Donna was masterminding everything behind the scenes and meant we could really relax and enjoy ourselves. Highly recommend!”

4. Emma Jordan Weddings

Business hours:
- Contact for more info
What Emma Jordan does best is her ability to take a wild, out-of-the-box concept and turn it into a masterpiece.
We were enthralled seeing how she executed a loose disco-themed wedding for one of her clients. She completely transformed the space and still managed to keep everything elegant!
Plus, her initiative is unmatched. My team noted that she’s the kind of planner who anticipates your needs before you even realise you have them.
She’s also a perfect match for destination couples! She has planned a wedding in Scotland from across the ocean. The couple mentioned how communicative and professional she was despite the time zone difference.
Most feedback was positive. But if you want her in your corner, you absolutely have to book her early. She’s very in demand.
She is extremely personable, professional, and communicative
“Planning a wedding in Scotland from across the ocean felt daunting—until we found Emma! She is extremely personable, professional, and communicative. The deep knowledge of the area and vendor resources is present. We can’t express enough how refreshing it was partnering with someone that you could truly rely on. Being in a different time zone, there was consistent and clear communication. All of this and more made the planning process smooth and genuinely joyful…”

Emma was fantastic from start to finish
“Emma was fantastic from start to finish of the whole wedding planning process and totally got the memo and got us as a couple. It wasn’t easy being a destination wedding with the language barriers but she helped us with already having so many accessible italian vendors from previous events. There were So many highlights from The day and everyone had such an amazing time! (Emma included) my only regret is not having Emma plan our whole 3 day event and having more photos with her as she completely deserved all the recognition for all the behind scenes work she had done!”

5. Michelle Jones Wedding Planner
Phone: +44 775 156 4684
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
When our team looked into Michelle Jones, we immediately noticed she is the definition of a hands-on partner. We looked at how she handles couples, and the overwhelming consensus is that she’s there every step of the way.
She pours her advice and expertise into the process so you don’t have to guess if you’re making the right choice.
Her clients loved her trove of ideas and supplier contacts. She uses that wealth of knowledge to think of the tiniest details that normal humans would completely overlook.
Plus, she’s an absolute trooper. During one wedding weekend, the couple didn’t find out she was sick until after the event. She still worked tirelessly to make the day seamless.
She seems very professional and organised. However, she’s not ideal for couples who are saving to move out. Her pricing is a bit higher than others in the market.
She was there for us every step of the way
“Michelle has been absolutely amazing throughout my whole wedding planning. She was there for us every step of the way. Our wedding day was perfect down to Michelle’s advice and expertise. I would recommend her to anyone getting married she truly is amazing!”
Ava Chappell, Google review
Truly a fantastic planner for our wedding
“Michelle was truly a fantastic planner for our wedding. At our first meeting we instantly felt relaxed and relieved that someone was able to see the vision for our big day. Because of her experience and wealth of knowledge she was able to think of the smallest details that I would never have thought of that ended up making the day flow perfectly. From liaising with suppliers to organising our guests on the day, Michelle was on hand every step of the way and helped us have a special day we will never forget”
