Look no further!
Mark was fantastic from the moment we booked until the end of our wedding day. Everything was delivered exactly as promised, set up beautifully, and looked absolutely amazing. The quality of the hire items was excellent and really helped bring our venue together. Mark was professional, friendly, reliable, and made the whole process completely stress-free. Nothing was too much trouble, and his communication throughout was brilliant. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better service and would recommend Mark The Occasion Hire to anyone planning a wedding or special event. Thank you for helping make our day so perfect! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Mark and Katie were absolutely incredible!
Mark and Katie were absolutely incredible! They decorated both our ceremony and reception, and I still can’t get over how amazing the room looked. The transformation was unbelievable .. it was even more beautiful than I ever imagined. I gave them a theme and a vision, and they brought it to life… only better! Their attention to detail, creativity, and passion truly showed in every part of the décor. On top of that, they are such lovely people who go out of their way to help and make everything p

PHENOMENAL!
Had our decor done by Mark The Occasion Hire on the 18th October for our wedding and the decor was PHENOMENAL! We had our reception at the village working mens club and my vision was to not make it look like a WMC and Mark and his wife did exactly that!!! The communication leading up to the wedding was fantastic and even met us at the venue to plan everything out. Highly highly recommend and an amazing price with everything included like sweet carry and memory wall!

This company was amazing
This company was amazing I’m so glad we chose to go with mark the occasion for our wedding decor, it was all very stress free and exactly what we imagined it would look like. Even though we had no idea what we wanted and we were really overwhelmed while looking at ideas, they helped us with ideas and styles and got the decor exactly right for us, the room looked stunning. It was amazing to walk into the room for the first time and really appreciate even the smallest details

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Mark the Occasion. From the very beginning they were incredibly caring, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Their attention to detail was absolutely incredible — nothing was overlooked, and every element felt thoughtful and intentional. What really stood out was how much they took the time to understand us as a couple and what we wanted our day to feel like. More online...

I would highly recommend Mark the Occassion
We got married at the end of May 2026, and we couldn’t have done all of this without the incredible help of Mark and Katie. They are the loveliest people, great communication, up for a challenge and great listeners to what we wanted. Having meetings prior was a big help to make our vision come to life. Their showroom is a great way to get some ideas too. All guests said how beautiful the venue looked and how joyful the colours were. I would highly recommend Mark the Occassion for stress free.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What areas do you cover?

We’re based in Matlock and mainly cover weddings across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire. We generally work within around an hour of our showroom, but if you’re unsure whether we cover your venue, just drop us a message and we’ll happily check.


Do you have a showroom we can visit?

Yes! We have a large wedding décor showroom in Matlock where you can come and meet us, see lots of our décor in person and chat through ideas for your day. Showroom consultations are relaxed and informal – whether you know exactly what you want or need a little help figuring it all out.


Do you offer wedding décor packages?

Absolutely. We offer wedding décor packages as a starting point, but we know every wedding is different, so we’re always happy to tailor things to suit your venue, style and plans for the day. We can help with everything from your ceremony through to your wedding breakfast and evening reception.


Do you set everything up for us?

Yes – that’s a big part of what we do! We’ll deliver your décor to the venue, set everything up ready for you and return to collect it afterwards. We want you to be enjoying your wedding morning, not worrying about setting up centrepieces, arches and chair décor.


Can you move décor between our ceremony and wedding breakfast?

Yes, where possible. Lots of our décor can be reused throughout different parts of your wedding day. We can discuss your timings and venue setup beforehand and work out what can be moved or repurposed, helping you get the most from your décor.


How far in advance should we book our wedding décor?

There’s no set rule, but we’d always recommend getting in touch as soon as you have your date and venue confirmed. We only take on a limited number of weddings so that we can give each couple the time and attention they deserve, and popular dates can book up well in advance.


How much does it cost to secure our wedding date?

A £99 deposit secures your wedding date with us, with the remaining balance due four weeks before your wedding. Once your date is secured, we can continue working with you on the finer details as your plans come together.


We don’t really know what wedding décor we want yet – can you help?

Of course – and you definitely don’t need to know all the answers before speaking to us! Lots of couples come to our showroom with a colour scheme, a few inspiration photos or simply an idea of how they’d like their wedding to feel. We can talk everything through with you and help create a look that works beautifully with your venue and your day.


Can we change our décor after we’ve booked?

Yes. We understand that wedding plans evolve! Once you’ve booked, we’ll continue working with you as your ideas develop. We’re generally very flexible with changes and additions, subject to availability, and we’ll make sure everything is finalised in plenty of time before your wedding.


Why should we choose Mark The Occasion Hire?

We’re a small, friendly family-run business and we genuinely care about every wedding we’re involved in. You’ll deal directly with us from your first message right through to your wedding day. We pride ourselves on being approachable, flexible and easy to contact, with a large range of décor and a showroom where we can bring your ideas together.
