WEDDINGS ABROAD REVIEWS HERE IS WHAT A FEW OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE SAID ABOUT US.... A MILLION THANKS.... A long overdue letter to thank you for everything you did for us in organising our wedding. From start to finish you were fantastic in everything you did, as you know we had 40 people at the wedding and wouldn't have been able to organise it so successfully without you, your help and advice ensured that the wedding day went precisely to plan. On your advise we booked Le Preskil hotel for our guests and for that we are eternally grateful, it was absolutely beautiful neither I nor any of my guests can think of a single fault with the hotel. The surroundings were out of this world, the staff couldn't have been more helpful or attentive, their attention to detail was amazing. With regards to our wedding day I couldn't have asked for better. The hotel arranged a meeting with us and all the heads of departments to discuss everything we wanted, this meeting went so smoothly because you had already done all the work sending them all our requests down to the smallest of details. On the advice of Norbert, our wedding co-ordinator, we arranged a cocktail reception on the beach in between the service and the evening reception, for this we had a singing trio and an abundance of canapes and drinks, it was a wonderful experienced thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The wedding meal was excellent, we were given a tasting night before our wedding day to help us choose our menu, the head chef, gave us three options per course to choose from, he came out of the kitchen to offer his assistance and taylor made a menu for us. He also made our weddding cake from a picture you had sent him on my behalf, it was perfect. The flowers were exactly what I wanted and looked lovely on the day. In my opinion the food, service and location couldn't be equaled anywhere worldwide. We have spent alot of time talking to each other over the past year and I want to tell you that it was an absolute pleasure working with you, nothing seemed to be too much trouble and my endless changes were greeted with enthusiasm and sorted out with the hotel immediately. My guests also wanted to thank you for all your hard work in organising their flights and accommodation they all had the holiday of a lifetime, and agree that they will never again attend such a beautiful wedding. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending both you and Le Preskil hotel to anyone. I hope you are well. Thanks a million. Bronagh & Jonathan - Wedding in Mauritius IT REALLY WAS PERFECT Thank you so much for making our wedding everything we expected (and more)! Nothing was too much trouble before the day and the wedding itself was truly perfect. Our guests were so impressed with the hotel that many of them are going to return the hotel later this year. It was the perfect choice! Thanks! Joanne & Paul - Wedding in Austria A VIRGIN HOSTED OUR WEDDING! Just a quick not to thank you guys. We have recently returned from our amazing Caribbean Cruise and our wedding on the US Virgin Island of St. Thomas. Everything went to plan and Bluebeard's Beach was a great choice - thanks Nick. Jack also thanks you for the tip on the Presidente beer, (although he was cursing you the day after!). The Hard Rock Hotel in Fort Lauderdale was a perfect way to chill after the wedding - thanks again Nick! Stephanie & Jack - Cruise Wedding on St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands WE SWAM WITH DOLPHINS RIGHT AFTER OUR WEDDING We have both always wanted to go to the Bahamas, but our wedding day there was more amazing than we could have ever dreamed. We had a simple wedding at Atlantis on Paradise Island and then swam with the dolphins at Dolphin Cay. I would totally recommend this to anyone looking to do something absolutely amazing. It really was a dream come true and the memories will stay with us for ever. Truly, truly, amazing! Karen & Graham - Wedding in the Bahamas YOU LIT UP OUR LIVES IN NYC We have just got back from New York and our wedding at the Harbour Lights. The view of Brooklyn Bridge from the Glass Room was amazing. Stephanie was truly fantastic and Richard also did a fantastic job with my flowers (he has so much patience!). I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Weddings & Honeymoons Abroad to anyone. I know how daunting it is booking over the phone and by e-mail. I was worried for nothing! Anita & Dave - Wedding in New York WE COULDN'T WAIT TO DO IT IN MAURITIUS Chapter 1 We are currently here in Mauritius and sending this e-mail from the Internet room at Shandrani. We couldn't wait until we get home to drop you a line. We want to share our excitement with you and thank you now from Mauritius. We have been here for two days and we get married on Thursday. Everyone is so helpful and they cannot do enough for us. We have met Steeves and he has everything under control. Thank you for suggesting the most perfect hotel at which to marry. We will be getting married in the gardens at 4pm on Thursday and we cannot wait! Our apprehension and nerves have turned to sheer excitement. The Champagne is flowing daily, the sun is shining daily and we are falling deeper in love daily. We know! We know! But this is the most romantic place on earth! Chapter 2 It's 8pm Mauritian time and we have been married for three and a half hours! We're having the most incredible day. There seriously are no words that can describe how we feel. Everything has gone off withouit one hitch. The weather has been fantastic and the sunset lit the sky up with every colour imaginable. Even the guys here say that they have never seen such an amazing sky. Anyway, we have to go now because Steeves has prepared a table on the beach for our wedding meal and our Champagne will be going warm! We will remember you guys for ever! We'll drink to absent friends! Penny & Jon - Wedding in Mauritius A HAWK DELIVERED THE WEDDING RINGS We would like to thank you for making our dreams come true in South Africa. Having a hawk swooping in to deliver our wedding rings was truly amazing. Our guests were speechless when the bird flew in and landed on Jeff's (the best man) arm. Mark & Eva were really helpful, making dinner reservations (thanks for the champagne at Moyo by the way!) and daytime arrangements for the group. Our stag and hen nights were also fantastic. Cal and the boys really enjoyed his beach bbq at Table View and my pampering afternoon/themed dinner party at the Twelve Apostles was awesome. Both groups had a great time but had hangovers from hell the following day. We did find a cure though, sipping Lanzerac rose at the Lookout Point checking for dolphins! Just wanted to say thanks and we'll be in touch for our second honeymoon - the bar has been raised though, so we'd better start saving! Rebecca & Calum - Wedding in Cape Town, South Africa BITTERSWEET RENEWAL OF VOWS Thank you so much. Our renewal of wedding vows in Mauritius was incredible. We just wished we had booked our original wedding with you. As you know, our story is somewhat bittersweet after deciding not to listen to your advice and went ahead with a wedding in St. Lucia with another company, which were not interested in our wedding after they received our deposit. Anyway, what better way to forget our terrible experience in St. Lucia than to renew our wedding vows at Le Mauricia - it was a wonderful suggestion and the whole staff were lovely. If however we'd have initially taken your advice we would have saved £3500 - Anyway, we now wouldn't change a thing. Tamsin & Jorge - Renewal of Vows in Mauritius YOUR CO-ORDINATOR WAS LIKE THE SISTER I NEVER HAD Choosing a company to arrange our wedding was so difficult as everyone claimed to be the best. We made the decision very carefully and booked with you as you had been established the longest and offered the most detailed immediate advice. Other companies had to get back to me with the answers to my questions. As the days went on, we realised that you really were experts and not just a travel company "jumping on the dream wedding bandwagon". Our wedding at the Sport Kristall in Kaprun was totally incredible. Karin was fantastic. She was with me all day and was like the sister I never had. Our guests said it was the most emotional and smooth running wedding they had ever had the pleasure to attend. Speak soon! Anna & Gareth - Wedding in Austria PERFECTION IN NYC Thank you, thank you, thank you for a totally stress free wedding. New York is our favourite place, so choosing to marry there seemed perfect and it was......Stephanie was amazing. Jessica & Phil - Wedding in New York TAMING BRIDEZILLA Just wanted to say a huge thanks for everything. I'd especially like to thank you all for your patience - especially Sam. I must have acted like Bridezilla. I was so stressed from the moment I booked. I just wish I'd have known what I know now and I would have been totally chilled. I actually think the stressful thing was getting my head around the fact that I had nothing to do. It left me worrying whether it was going to go exactly the way I expected. It did! In fact, it more than did! Our guests were blown away by everything - in particular the African choir. They were just incredible - please thank Nick for the suggestion. The hairs were standing on everyone's necks! Alison & Fabrice - Married in South Africa LAGOON VIEWS AND SUNSET CRUISES Well, we're back to reality. Le Preskil was a great hotel. The staff were friendly, the food was outstanding and the view of the Lagoon from our room was beautiful. It was just a perfect honeymoon. The catamaran cruise on our second to last night was really romantic. We really couldn't have asked for anything more. Tracy & James - Honeymoon in Mauritius MOVE OVER ARMANI Talk about a dream trip! WOW! I think we're going to have the holiday blues for quite some time. Suarp in Bangkok was fantastic. Not only did she professionally organise the paperwork, she became my own shopping assistant too! Where else can you have a stunning silk dress tailored in less than 24 hours!? I'll bet Armani couldn't even do that! Everything in Phuket went loke clockwork. Jimmy and Nancy couldn't do enough for us. Although it was a once in a lifetime experience, it won't be the only time in our lifetimes that we will go. We are definitely going back next year! Gillian & Neil - Married in Thailand SIMPLY THANKS Thank you so much for everything you did to help us organise our wedding. The wedding and our stay were more perfect than we could have ever imagined. Emma & Leigh - Married in Austria A FAIRYTALE COME TRUE We would like to thank you for our truly amazing real life fairytale wedding, all way beyond our wildest dreams. Your help and support was very much appreciated from beginning to end, we couldn't have had such a special day without it. Andrea & Fred - Married in Austria WEDDING OF OUR DREAMS Thank you so much! Everything was perfect. I think Simon was more nervous than me. It was the wedding of our dreams. You must have the best job in the world guys. Anita & Simon - Married in Mauritius MAURITIAN INSPIRATION Mauritius was a wonderful suggestion. Thank you for your inspiration and your help, not forgetting your patience! Please say hello to Jean-Louis and Steeves at Shandrani for us. Tanya & Miles - Married in Mauritius CANDID ADVICE We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for organising the most perfect honeymoon. Thank you for your candid advice. Teresa & Paul - Honeymoon in Maldives COLD AS ICE IN CYPRUS Thank you so much for organising a most wonderful wedding and honeymoon in Cyprus. Our guests are still talking about it and will be for quite some time I would imagine. The hotel staff couldn't do enough for us all. The ice carvings were a wonderful surprise - thank you again. Sarah & Jonathan - Married in Cyprus NEW YORK, NEW YORK! New York New York, so good they named it twice! I just wish we could have said "I do" twice! We will definitely go back and renew our wedding vows in NYC. Please thank Stephanie for us - she was such a help. Thank you once again guys. Alexandra & Ray - Married in New York WHIRLWIND IN ST. LUCIA Just a quick note to thank you for everything. Our wedding was more perfect than we could have ever dreamed. We have never felt so special. From our first call to you until we left the hotel, we were in a whirlwind (in a good way!!). Penny & Jay - Married in St. Lucia AUSTRIAN FAIRYTALE We've literally just walked through the door and the first thing we had to do is say a huge THANKS! The wedding day was out of this world. Everyone at the hotel was so friendly. If our wedding is the first day of the rest of our lives, we can look forward to a happily married life together - fairytales can be real and dreams do come true! Sharene & Matt - Married in Austria FROM BLANK CANVAS TO MAURITIAN MASTERPIECE Thanks for everything. Your patience, service and advice resulted in the most perfect wedding and honeymoon in Mauritius. This may sounds corny, but we started with a blank canvas and ended up with a masterpiece (I thought of that while we were watching the sunset on our wedding day!). Katherine & Simon - Married in Mauritius HOPING THE NEXT 4 YEARS FLY BY Well, that's the bar raised for our future holidays. Keith and I would like to thank you and all of the staff at the Moon Palace from the bottom of our hearts. It seems like a lifetime ago since we first submitted our enquiry to you. Never in our wildest dreams could we have predicted that things would have turned out so perfectly. Thank you for your advice, your patience, your assistance and, well just everything!. We are planning to return for our 5th wedding anniversary, so we will be in touch. Julie & Keith - Married in Mexico A TASTE OF ESSEX IN NYC We love NYC and have been going for the last 6 years but no previous trip could have prepared us for getting married there. Everyone was wonderful. Essex House was a great choice and was a perfect base (especially on the wedding day). Our meal at Harbour Lights was incredible. We were really made to feel special. If you guys ever need an assistant, you know where I am! You guys are so lucky to do what you do! Suzie & Nathan - Married in New York. These are just a handful of literally hundreds of thank you letters and e-mails we receive.
