Wow what can we say that we haven't already said.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Everyone had an absolute blast of an afternoon yesterday. In fact my phone hasn't stopped!
Your friendliness shone through along with your personality & unfounded professionalism and discreet attentiveness.
The display of china along with the delicious food was sublime.
It was just perfect!
Thank you for going beyond the call to deliver a first class experience even topping up the guests champagne flutes as well as serving the cake.
From the first phone call I knew I'd made the right choice bringing you on board - a mirror image of my self - always giving.
I've just made the payment so go enjoy!!!!!
It looks like we are on for a celebratory 95th birthday gathering in November .. so I'll be in touch with a date.
I think the B&R occupants would love a weekly celebration like we had yesterday with you ladies & Keith there.
Thank Keith for his kindness in helping Tim with Jim to move him to and from the venue. Lots of love forever xx

Carol went above and beyond our expectations in being helpful, kind and brilliantly well equipped, for our wedding day. She was about the only 'service' I dealt with when organising everything who responded really quickly, always getting back to me with a solution and helping every step of the way. And the service was incredibly personal too; Carol had thought of all the bits I hadn't and helped us think through things to make life easier. And as for the price and range of items, I challenge you to find anybody better. Followed up later with this:
'We wanted to say a proper thank you on a more personal level, for being such lovely people to deal with, in addition to providing such a fabulous service. The whole day was absolutely perfect and we are so glad we found you to be a part of it too'

I would like to thank you for the beautiful china you delivered for my daughters Bridal Shower. We had Afternoon Tea and I had so many compliments about the china. It was delivered and picked up on time and we didn't have to wash-up, that was a bonus!Everyone was delighted, we had a wonderful day. I would definitely use your services again and will recommend you to all my family and friends.

Thank you so much Carol for providing the china for my Mom's funeral. All of the pieces were so beautiful and many people commented on how lovely they were. My Mom wouldn't drink tea if it wasn't in a china cup! She would have loved it. I will highly recommend you in the future.

We want to say a massive thank you for the excellent service you have given us. The china was all good quality, and although vintage everything looked as good as new. The tables looked stunning and many people commented on how nice it looked. Even the owner of Stanford Hall said what lovely china we had, and wanted to know where we got it from for future reference. We also felt that your hire charges were excellent value for money, particularly when you included delivery, collection and washing up! Your china helped to make our celebrations special, and was exactly what Anne had wanted for the event. We are so pleased that we saw your little advert on the village notice board in Long Buckby, otherwise we may never have found you. Thank you once again.

John and I would like to say a big thank you for everything you did for us leading up to the wedding and on the actual wedding day itself. We had the vision of a Great British Wedding and you helped that become reality by providing all your wonderful china for our afternoon tea and setting up our tables so beautifully. We absolutely loved eating and drinking from the china and all our guests did too. You made our lives easier by thinking of all the little things and asking me questions about things that I may have otherwise forgotten. The special little touches like putting the Forget-Me-Nots in the vases with the flower centre pieces just showed your caring nature and this really shone through to your end product. It was just marvellous.
We appreciate how hard you worked for us and all the planning you did beforehand. We hope to have another occasion to use your beautiful china and will recommend you to anyone that can bear to hear me go on about our wonderful tea party ☺ You provide a quality service at a fair price and are a real gem. We loved planning and chatting with you Carol.
Many thanks and hope our paths cross again in the future. With heartfelt thanks and best wishes.

We used Carol to hire china for our daughters christening. She created an Afternoon Tea package with absolutely everything we needed. She also went above and beyond helping me pull together the event. I asked for a scones recommendation as I hadn't seen any local bakers with them on offer and she offered to bake them herself and they were delicious. Unwrapping the china was like Christmas. Each piece was so beautiful and I loved the eclectic vintage feel it gave the party. The bunting was a perfect touch to complete the look. We had so many comments from our guests on the gorgeous pieces and which was their favourite. Not having any washing up was an added bonus. I can't recommend working with Carol enough.

A big thank you to Carol for her beautiful vintage china. We hired it for a fundraising coffee morning and Carol could not have been more helpful. She managed to arrange the china last minute and was quick to respond to any questions. She provided all the china and lots of extras like lovely bunting!! It was all easy to pack up and take care of. Thank you Carol, the china was perfect for our coffee morning.

I just want to thank you for the beautiful vintage china and service I received for my Baby Shower. It was very simple to contact you and organise the delivery and collection and at a reasonable price. It was great fun unpacking the china and lovely not to have to wash up afterwards! I was so impressed by the quality, every piece was so pretty and gorgeous, my guests were in awe! It was just perfect and made my Baby Shower so special. Thank you!!

I just wanted to thank you for your amazing service. Everyone thought the china was beautiful and it went really well with our tea party theme. Also, you were so efficient with communication, delivery and collection. The whole service really was very easy for us and took a lot of pressure off us, which was particularly useful, as our youngest is currently going through chemotherapy. Everything about your service felt effortless, which was exactly what we needed.
Thank you again.
Emma Darby, Staverton, September 2015

A very big thank you for the beautiful and very well chosen China. Not only did you select the China to fit in perfectly with the Baby Shower Theme but you had our guests totally taken with each piece and savouring the elegance along with quality. Never thought unpacking China could be such fun and had to smile at Jess from Horwood House expressing her excitement at setting the table - Jess was like a big child playing with her dolls house and we felt like we were so part of it.
Once again thank you for making the day so special and I do look forward to calling on you for my next event.

We hired the china for my sister's Mad Hatters Tea Party 'hen do', and it was perfect. Carol was friendly and responded to any queries very quickly and on top of that delivered and collected the china- which was perfect as I was so busy stressing about the last details of the weekend! The whole process was very easy and with such stunning china, it was a lovely touch that made it really special. Thank you!

Nobody recommended Carol and her company to me, but I am recommending her to you. The service was first class, from first communication to help in setting up, nothing was too much trouble for Carol and her husband, a great team. The vintage trios, teapots, sugar bowls, milk jugs, cake stands, cutlery and bunting were all of a very high quality. We had so many comments about how lovely it all looked, can't thank this lovely couple enough. Will definitely use this company again. Richard, Karen and Millie Broughton - Kettering, August 2014 _____________________________________________________________________________
Thank you Carol, for all your help setting up and of course the beautiful immaculate china. The service you offer is exceptional and brought with good cheer from a lovely couple. x
