Wedding suppliers recommended

I got married in October 2013 and we used some great local suppliers that really do deserve a shout out.


It's hard to rave about these people without it sounding like a plug but given that they were all really reasonably priced I thought it was the least I could do.


Amanda Roberts from East Dulwich did the hair and make-up for me, my mum and bridesmaids and was absolutely excellent. Initially I didn't want professional make up but she really made a big difference. I didn't really want to look 'made up' and she does a really natural look which was just what I wanted. Her and her colleague Shelley were completely unflappable on the day as well and complete professionals.

For flowers we used the fantastic Wendy at AG Flowers in Nunhead. She was absolutely superb and really reasonable. Again, a total pro.


And the band Bare Groove (based in Crystal Palace) were just amazing (although they have a terrible name). They had a full brass section and, again, were really reasonably priced. They were just brilliant. So much energy, fantastic classic soul songs and provided their own lights/sound/DJ in between. I was terrified that we would end up with a band playing Tina Turner or some really cheesy songs so was delighted that they were just amazing.

It's so easy when you get busy in the run up to the wedding to just look up companies online that are based in the West End but we wanted to support local businesses where we could and they delivered over and above anything we could have expected!


If you're reading this - thanks guys!

I got married in central London in February 2014 but having lived in East Dulwich for so long, I wanted to use local suppliers where I could and would thoroughly recommend them.


For flowers, I used Wendy at AG Flowers in Nunhead (http://www.a-gflowers.co.uk) and she was an absolute star. Despite the short notice I gave her, she really took the time to understand all the elements of my big day to find the best colours and style for me. She met with me to show me flowers in the shop first along with pictures of other options that I could order in time and even dropped samples round to me in advance. The whole experience of choosing, ordering & delivery was hassle free and the prices were reasonable but it was really Wendy's personal touch & expertise that were so invaluable. I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted but with Wendy's help, I ended up with the perfect flowers - take a look at the photo.


For hair and make up, Amanda Roberts is definitely your go to woman: http://www.hairandmakeup4u.com

I had a style in mind for my hair which she totally made happen and for the bridesmaids, she helped us refine our vague ideas into something gorgeous. As well as being an absolute professional when it comes to hair and make up, she was also so patient and hardworking. She did hair and make up for four bridesmaids and me and remained completely calm despite people arriving late or needing make up re-doing after a few emotional moments! Amanda really took the time to get to know me and create a look that fitted with me & my wedding day and I would thoroughly recommend her.


Finally, a bit further afield but might be helpful for other London weddings is Jennie at Route Master Hire: http://www.routemasterhire.com. As well as having beautiful classic red buses, Jennie is super helpful. She helped us plan an amazing route from the ceremony to the reception along the Thames which our guests still rave about! She lets you order fizz and send it to her, then brings it chilled on the day with glasses and we also used the bus for the bridal party to arrive at the ceremony which was great fun.


These people really went the extra mile for me so really recommend them. Message me for any further details or pictures.


Thanks, Natalie

I can also recommend Amanda Roberts. Very talented and always gets great reviews from her clients.


Can I also add Suzanne James an excellent local wedding and event catering business http://www.suzannejames.co.uk/ who is also the preferred caterer for many local venues including The Horniman Conservatory, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Greenwich Museum, The Garden Museum, St Johns Museum and more.


I'm also a local Wedding and Event Photographer although I also photograph weddings all over the UK and Europe. I'm fully booked for the summer but I do have availability for late 2014 and next year. http://www.lorenzophotography.co.uk/


Thank you

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
