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.
