About Ten Forward Events
We’re a family-run events company offering rustic bar hire and event planning across the U.K. Basically, we’re here to keep things running smoothly, the drinks flowing, and stop you from spending your day doing supplier admin.
||BAR HIRE FOR WEDDINGS & EVENTS||
We provide a converted horsebox bar for outdoor events and pallet bars for indoor venues. You can have one or both depending on your setup. We’re very used to fields, barns, marquees, and the classic “we’ll decide where the bar goes when everyone arrives” approach.
We serve everything from lager and wine to cocktails and warm drinks for when the British weather shows up uninvited and overstays its welcome. Our cocktail menu is a guest favourite (and occasionally the reason people stay longer than planned).
We have professional staff, flexible setups, fair pricing, and we can also sort your Temporary Event Notice so you don’t have to decode council paperwork.
||WEDDING & EVENT PLANNING||
We offer on-the-day coordination, partial planning, and full planning.
On-the-day is for when you’ve planned it all and just want someone calm and slightly bossy (in a helpful way) to run it. Partial is for when you’ve started planning and suddenly realised there are a LOT of decisions left. Full planning is for when you’d rather hand it over and just show up.
Led by Ella, who has 15+ years of venue management experience, we know how events actually run behind the scenes, and how to quietly fix things before anyone notices.
||OUR APPROACH||
No stress, no jargon, no drama. Just proper organisation with a sense of humour.
You enjoy the day. We’ll make sure it all runs like it’s supposed to.

Reviews
A * Thank You!
When you find a family run business that cares this much you know you’ve found a gem. From initial contact and throughout they were available. Thank you, I will recommend you.
Wonderful wonderful people! Amazing prices.
We were let down at the last minute and these wonderful people came to our rescue. Kind/friendly staff, gorgeous set up and above all amazing prices.
Lovely Couple, Reliable and Fantastic Service
Thank you for providing an excellent service at our fireworks event. Your reliability, excellent communication and customer service was exceptional. The redesigned horse box looks really cool and a very good range of treats and hot drinks. Highly recommend and would defiantly use again!
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
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!
Fantastic service
Ella was amazing from the start of our communication. I can’t recommend enough. The trailer is beautiful and really went well with our relaxed theme.
Amazing!
I could not fault Ella and her team, they were absolutely amazing from start to finish! Fantastic communication the entire way through, prompt on the day and helped us keep everything running smoothly! It was a pleasure to have them as part of our day and we would definitely recommend them to everyone!
Fantastic service
The bird and the bee did a fantastic job of setting up and getting the drinks we asked for with no hassle
a must have
An outstanding service with the most friendly staff who went above and beyond. The beautiful horsebox was admirable feature all guests loved. Brilliant communication throughout. Couldn't recommend enough.
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!
