We provide full venue styling, prop hire, and bespoke balloon installations across the entire New Forest National Park and surrounding waterside towns, including Brockenhurst, Lyndhurst, Lymington, Beaulieu, Burley, Ringwood, and New Milton. Because our headquarters are right here on the South Coast, we are regular suppliers at Rhinefield House, Chewton Glen, Careys Manor, The Montagu Arms, Master Builder’s House at Buckler’s Hard, Somerley House, and Parley Manor, giving us firsthand knowledge of their room dimensions, ceiling heights, and heritage guidelines.
Every hire quote includes our end-to-end transport, professional on-site installation, and post-event collection service. Country estates tucked along winding forest lanes—complete with free-roaming ponies and cattle grids—and exclusive-use hotels around Lyndhurst and Brockenhurst often operate on strict turnaround windows between morning conferences and evening wedding receptions. We liaise directly with your venue coordinator ahead of time to schedule access, provide RAMS and PAT-testing documentation, and complete a discreet next-day takedown.
For woodland and barn weddings at venues like Burley Manor or Parley Manor, couples frequently choose The Rustic Barn Wedding Package or The White & Greens Wedding Package, pairing our 7ft Reclaimed Light-Up Heart Backdrop, Reclaimed Surname Letters, and Rustic Cross Back Chairs with a sparkling White LED Dance Floor. Corporate planners hosting leadership retreats, product launches, and awards dinners at Chewton Glen or Elmers Court regularly hire our Branded Corporate Balloons, White Corporate Branding Light-Up Letters, and cordless Illuminated Sphere Table Centrepieces.
Yes, many of our wooden frames, floral arches, and 4ft light-up letters look incredible on manicured lawns, walled terraces, and riverside gardens—such as the sunken gardens at Rhinefield House or lawns overlooking the Beaulieu River—provided the weather stays completely dry and sheltered power sockets are nearby. Should a coastal breeze from the Solent or a sudden shower roll in, we always pre-arrange a seamless indoor backup spot with your venue manager so your focal points never lose their impact.
To guarantee availability of our signature pieces for peak summer wedding Saturdays between May and September, bank holiday weekends, or December corporate party dates, we advise booking 6 to 12 months ahead. However, because our main warehouse is located just minutes from the New Forest border, our team can frequently fulfil last-minute styling requests with a week's notice or less.
From grand Elizabethan-style country manors nestled in ancient woodland to historic yachting hubs along the Lymington coast, the New Forest offers unforgettable settings for celebrations.
