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.

Fantastic service!!!!
Couldn't of asked for a better service they worked so well together making it run very smooth. Prices were very good and Well stocked bar with something for everyone. All staff were very friendly and welcoming.
An absolute joy to work with, highly recommended!
The Bird and Bee came to our charity Firewalk event on 22/02/19. An absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish - they were friendly, personable and professional. They stayed in touch during the run up to the event and were always happy to answer any questions. On the night they updated us with their arrival time, turned up in plenty of time, got set up quickly and efficiently (including going out of their way to set up in a spot that we really wanted to use, but was tricky for them to access) and handled everything with patience and good humour. The horsebox bar was beautiful and the drinks selection was fantastic, including lots of hot drinks to keep our guests happy. I would absolutely, without hesitation, book them again.
What a fantastic company!!!!!
I can not rate the Bird and the Bee highly enough. Very polite and great value for money. I WILL be using them again at all my events.
Fantastic service, very friendly!
We used bird and bee for 40th birthday party. We booked only 2 weeks before the party, Ella was great very accommodating and really friendly. The party without a bar wouldn’t have been the same. Thank you.
A brilliant set up and incredible service
Ella was so helpful organising the booking from the start of my enquiry. Offered such a wide selection of drinks, was happy to tailor the drinks menu for us and had such a great set up inside. The ease of payment was a huge help.
Such friendly service was quick on the night serving the drinks.
Thank you so much, we will definitely look to book again for the next event.
Fab fab fab!!!
Ella and her team provided the bar for my 40th birthday. Great service, variety of drinks and great prices. They really were fantastic and I loved the rustic bar! It really added to the occasion. Thank you so much for making my 40th an evening to remember. Xx
Outstanding service!!!!
Excellent service by Ella and staff!!!!! 5 STAR!!!! Will highly recommend to anyone that asks.
A great service offered and executed!
We were extremely happy with the service offered by the Bird and Bee. The initial questionnaire to complete was relevant and to the point and dealt directly with all their needs and requirements. Contact continued right up to the event and all the arrangements made were smoothly executed on the day. The bar was just as we had wanted and anticipated, with friendly staff who maintained a professional approach and swift customer service, which added to the ambience of the evening.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank them and shall certainly be recommending them to others looking for a similar service.
