Berkshire Wedding and Event SuppliersWedding and Event Suppliers for Berkshire and Surrounding Counties
As a photographer I meet a variety of other suppliers and I'm often asked if I have any recommendations. All the photos of suppliers' services or products on this page have been taken by me when working the same wedding or event. Those without photos I know well from wedding fairs and network meetings.
Choosing suppliers for my own wedding felt like choosing between friends! My Husband and I personally recommend Fosters Catering, Celebration Cakes by Catherine Scott, Sonning Flowers, Beaumont Boutique, Black Tie, Nightlights DJ, and LAX Events. You'll find all their details below in their respective categories. We were married at the beautiful Ufton Court by the West Berkshire Registrars.

Bridal Wear
|
Beaumont Boutique Victoria is a very professional, reliable and an excellent seamstress. After seeing a recommendation from another Bride I went to see Victoria with my wedding dress from Coast to have the length shortened. She was thorough in recommending which alterations needed doing for the best fit, comfort, and look. After having some of the outer tulle layer length cut off I went back to try on my altered dress and have the leftover material measured up to become detachable straps. The final dress was perfect and felt very unique.
This photograph on my wedding day was taken by associate photographer Dannie Chambers and edited by myself.

Foster's Catering
Out of all the Ufton Court caterers to choose from my husband and I decided to go with Foster's Catering. All their brochures were clear and concise. The menu tasting experience was brilliant! With a variety of meals to try within the budget we had set we were spoiled for choice. Nothing was too much trouble. Darren was happy to make a bespoke dessert request, my childhood favourite Gypsy Tart! We had several guests with multiple significant dietary requirements who were all catered for perfectly. Foster's Catering also provide a meal for suppliers working on a wedding day too. I am very fortunate I get to eat my wedding breakfast meal at other weddings including at The Old Mill Aldermaston where they are also recommended suppliers! Visit the Foster's Catering website |

Kind Words |
1 of 27
"Just wanted to say a massive thank you, you were fantastic. Thank you for being a part of our [wedding] day and for all the beautiful pictures you took."
"Diane, you were amazing at our wedding yesterday. We really couldn't fault you. It was perfect from start to finish. xx "
"Diane is an amazing wedding photographer. She captured our day brilliantly and gave us the most perfect memories to look back over, forever. From our very first meeting of Diane, we knew she was the photographer we wanted for our special day. Diane's photography fitted perfectly with our vision. Every tiny detail that we had worked on was included in our photos and so many great natural shots were captured. Everything went to plan. We couldn't have asked for better."
"Thank you Diane! Diane photographed our wedding recently but she was so much more than that. Diane worked tirelessly to get every detail and everyone included, especially a less than compliant toddler. If you need a photographer then you need Diane."
"Thank you for making our big day even more special by capturing it for us to remember in the years to come. We have heard praise from friends and family on how professional you were on the day as well as how well the photos have turned out. We felt you got very good coverage of the day whilst remaining discreet throughout."
"Thank you for doing our wedding for us. The photos they are amazing and we love them! We could not have had a better person doing the photos for our special day. We can't thank you enough."
"Dear Diane, thank you so much for all your hard work, advice and expertise in producing our wedding photography. Best Wishes."
"Our wedding photos are by far better than we could have ever imagined & that's down to the hard work and professionalism you showed. We will be recommending you to anyone who needs photographs taking! Many thanks again Diane."
"Thank you for the photos, they are beautiful! They have turned out even better than I could have hoped for. We looked through the album [design] and we love it. The faded into the background pictures are amazing, I did not realise how effective they were until it was our photos in there."
"Diane did a great job of capturing our beautiful wedding day, Her attention to detail was amazing always making sure people and items were in the right place. We also worked with her to capture all of our fun moments like my brother being our flower guy, to using the drinks reception to enjoy ourselves and taking pics later between the day and the evening. I also saw an idea of taking pics with each table as a photobomb which Diane was happy to help facilitate. She was brilliant and we have had so many compliments on what gorgeous pics we now have of our day! Thank you Diane."
"Diane was fantastic. From our first meeting to discuss our requirements, to the engagement shoot and all communication leading up to the wedding was professional, efficient and prompt. We had confidence that Diane could deliver exactly what we wanted. The photos we have received are amazing and the day has been captured beautifully for us to reminisce for years to come. We are absolutely delighted with the way it all turned out."
"Diane is a brilliant photographer and captured our wedding with all the professionalism but in a very relaxed way. We'll always recommend her to all family and friends when they get married."
"My Brother and I recommended Diane to our friend back in 2010 for his Wedding, we have since had Diane capture our family photos on many occasions, all the photos have been amazing!"
"Diane has attended many of our wedding fairs. Her stand is always well presented showing a selection of weddings she has photographed. Being the preferred supplier at several of the venues we work with enables Diane to bring advice and knowledge to a couples celebrations which go beyond the role of 'just' wedding photographer."
"Diane was amazing at our wedding earlier this year. We felt at ease with her from the first meeting and she took so much time to understand the photos we wanted. On the day she was so friendly and professional, and worked so hard! The photos are fantastic and captured every part of the day perfectly. Thank you for everything!"
"Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the hard work you did at our Wedding. We appreciate everything you did for us and I’m sure they will make wonderful memories. "
"Diane photographed our wedding for us last year at Stirrups. She had some great ideas for photos and put us at ease immediately. Very happy we chose her and would definitely recommend."
"Diane did an amazing job photographing our wedding and putting all the guests at ease. The communication before the wedding was great and we knew exactly what to expect on the day. The photographs have turned out so beautiful and we could not be more pleased."
"Diane did the photography for our wedding. She was professional from start to finish and the photos were great. After the wedding our guests commented how non-intrusive she was and we got lots of natural shots of everyone at their best. Thank you Diane!"
"Diane, thank you for helping to make our wedding day special! Thank you for all your help throughout our preparations and on the day. We really appreciate your friendliness and patience - particularly putting up with our lack of organisation and many questions!"
"On Behalf of my wife and I, we would like to thank you for all your hard work yesterday. You personally ensured we captured every set piece photo we wanted along with dozens more of our family and friends enjoying our special day. Quite a few of our guests commented on how approachable you were and at ease with having their photo taken, which quite a few of them are camera shy!"
"WOW the photos are amazing, made us cry. You did an incredible job and we couldn’t ask for more. We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
"Thank you Diane for the wonderful photos, we felt very comfortable with you on the day and you were always very professional and organised. Thank you again."
"We are delighted with the photos that you have taken of our day, they truly reflect how we feel the day went, and it is lovely to see parts of the day that we didn't see. Thank you so much, we keep dipping in and out of them to get the most of enjoying seeing them."
"To Diane, thank you so much for all of the hard work that you have put into planning, taking and preparing our wedding photos. We really couldn't have chosen a more calm, knowledgeable and professional person to capture our wedding day. Many of the guests at the wedding commented on how excellent you were at being non-intrusive, friendly and ensuring that everyone got included in photos. We are really pleased with the photos."
"Diane was a consummate professional who took wonderful photos at our wedding. She took amazing coverage of the whole day, without ever being intrusive. Thank you so much!"
"She was amazing on the day I knew I picked the right person to do our photography it was the best day of my life on the 2.11.19. Thank you for the amazing photos and book I would definitely recommend her she was amazing."
