Extremely disappointing

For our wedding, we booked the horse box for hot drinks outside, the inside bar for draught beers and other options and glass wear. We were very excited to have them at our wedding- Sadly it was a great disappointment.
-Arrived an hr late and said we couldn’t have horse box bar and inside bar because of weather (but then told they wouldn’t have ran them simultaneously anyway)
-inside bar had no draughts on as booked
-provided 2 staff yet promised 5 (120 guests!)
- no water available at the bar
- falsely accused father of bride of not paying for drinks all day (turned out to be 2 G&Ts accidentally)
- pre agreed wine on tables was removed prematurely and guests reported seeing it sold back to them!
-left lots of their rubbish behind

Response from Ten Forward Events
We are sorry to hear that you were not happy with our service. The decision not to utilise the horsebox was made on arrival by your contact (Father) meeting us at your event. This was not a decision taken by our director. We arrived less than twenty minutes later than agreed due to having to reroute due to flooding. Unfortunately the torrential nature of the weather on the day meant your contact believed it would not be appropriate to have anything other than an indoor bar. We therefore followed instructions given. The draft beer was set up inside the horsebox which once in place can not be moved to an alternative location (due to the nature of the beer itself). As you requested not to have the horsebox active due to the weather, this was no longer usable. We had plenty of alternatives. A standard number of staff for your original guest numbers is 2/3, at no point was there a lengthy wait for a drink and guests were happy. There was water available on all tables. The water tap was located a long way from the tipi itself across a large flooded field. Despite this there was water provided around the tipi by ourselves. As agreed prior to the event all wine was removed following dinner. It was not sold back to guests, it was simply popped aside in boxes and returned at the end of the night. Our wine was from a different supplier and was plentiful. The team cleared and removed all bar rubbish but left catering rubbish behind having assisted in clearing up. On the day we provided complimentary services throughout including; Free bride and groom drinks, complimentary Prosecco, free provision of tea and coffee facilities, complimentary glassware for tables, carafes for water etc. All these services are usually provided at a fee. The team pride themselves on good service, excellent value and communication as evidenced in our other reviews.

Beautiful bar, excellent service!

Ella and her team in the horse box bar were a fantastic, vintage addition to my 40th festival style party. Communication beforehand was excellent. The bar arrived in plenty of time for the start of the party, the horse box was beautifully decorated with an excellent selection of drinks. The drinks were really reasonably priced and all my guests were impressed!
I'd absolutely recommend The Bird and Bee - thanks Ella!

Excellent service for a great event!

From the initial communication from obtaining quote to attending the event, I was really pleased with all aspects of the service. Ella was great to communicate with and help discuss the options for planning and the different aspects of our event.
Nothing was too much trouble and Ella and Russell and they were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend!

Great Service - thank you!

We hired the Bird and Bee as a pop up bar to support our recent wedding celebrations. Ella and her team provided great service on the day, they were friendly and professional and more than happy to talk through details and we had great communication prior to the event. Guests commented on the reasonable prices of the drinks and how great the cocktails they had ordered were. Would be more than happy to recommend to others, or hire again in the future if we need something similar again!

Ella was very honest and open about one or two of our guests who had asked about providing their own alcohol (which is understandably not allowed) which we really appreciated.

Overall - great service, really professional and friendly - thank you!

Very good service

Great communication before and after the event. The staff were very nice and friendly to our guests and service was prompt and efficient. The only complaint I would make was the price of the coke, there were a lot of ids there and the bar charged £2.50 for a small cup of coke poured from a large bottle that you can buy for £1 at the supermarket, we all wanted them to make good money but that would work out at about £25 profit on a bottle and seemed unfair to us.
That aside, I would absolutely recommend the Bird and Bee service, perhaps you could negotiate on kids drinks with them to get it 100% perfect for your event
