Phoenix Wedding and Event Hire Named Regional Finalist at the 2025 I Do Wedding Awards
Chesterfield-based Phoenix Wedding and Event Hire, specialists in venue styling and biodegradable confetti, are celebrating after being announced as a Regional Finalist in the highly competitive Venue Stylist category at the prestigious I Do Wedding Awards 2025. With their sights set on becoming the best in the East Midlands, the team is thrilled to be recognised for their creativity, dedication, and sustainable approach to weddings.
Director Sam Nix shares:
"My company ethos has always been simple — reduce, recycle, and keep costs down for everyone involved. I wasn’t fulfilled in my full-time job, so I took the leap and launched Phoenix Wedding and Event Hire in 2022. This year, I took the plunge to run the business full-time, and it’s been the best decision!"
Phoenix Wedding and Event Hire offers an extensive range of services, including:
- Venue styling and dressing
- Extensive hire collection
- Home-grown, sourced, and hand-packaged biodegradable petal confetti
- Personalised items and bespoke creations
- Set-up service for clients using their own décor
- On-the-day wedding coordination
- Bridal party dressing service
- Plus, they work alongside trusted local suppliers to provide a full, seamless experience for couples
The journey to national recognition begins with success at the The Wedding Industry Awards in November where I received my first award for regional finalist. And now, regional awards in May for I DO. Winners are selected based on glowing feedback from their couples and the discerning eyes of the expert judging panel. Regional winners will then go on to compete for national titles later this year.
The I Do Wedding Awards are renowned for celebrating excellence within the wedding industry. What sets these awards apart is their focus on quality over quantity — winners are chosen not by the number of votes, but by the strength of feedback from recent couples. This means businesses of all sizes compete fairly, with the best talent truly shining through.
