Gillian and Charles - Wedding in Mauritius

Thank you for helping us to have the best wedding ever. It really was a day to remember for both us and our guests.  We have now received our wedding photos and we are also more than happy for you to use any of them on your website. The honeymoon in Hawaii was also perfect, and the sun was a welcome change for the cold snow in NYC.
 
Thank you again
 
Charlotte and Neil (Wedding in New York & Honeymoon in Hawaii)

I have been aiming to contact you since we got back but its been mad with settling in our new house etc etc.
I wanted to contact you to say that we had a GREAT time!!! It was absolutely fantastic!! Everything went very well and so smoothly. The wedding planner in Mauritius, Sandrine was excellent. She met us when we arrived at the hotel, and she went through everything with us. She was very organised, extremely helpful and kept us well informed every step of the way.

A few family members came out for the wedding, (only a small number) but it was still great! and they all had a great time...they didnt want to leave Mauritius!!!
The Shandrani Hotel also was fabulous!! The service was goood and all the staff were so nice and helpful. They recognised us from our wedding and would say hi all the time and ask if we were ok and having a nice time!!! that was really sweet!

Thank you for all your help and assistance in planning our wedding, and all your advice. Thanks for answering all my stupid questions, and telling me that it was all going to be fine (you were right!!). It all turned out brilliant and we are very happy, with some great memories of our day.

Many thanks

Natalie & Nigel (Wedding in Mauritius)

Keira and John (Wedding in Mauritius)

I just wanted to E-mail you to thank you so much for all of your help with regards to David and I's Wedding. 

We had an absolutely amazing day and could not have asked for better.  Carol was fantastic, as were Rev Leslie Cohen, Trix and the Videographer.  Could you pass our thanks onto these wonderful people for us please as they helped make the day so special!

We received our photographs this morning and they are wonderful.  We're looking forward to watching the DVD when it arrives!

Thank you so much again to you and your team for all of your efforts! 

I've been recommending you to all of my engaged friends/colleagues who want something that little bit different for their big day!!

Take care,

Kirsty and David (Wedding in New York)

Following our recent wedding on the 8th June in central park New York, I would like to express our appreciation to all involved.

The co-ordinator (carol) was absolutely brilliant, the venue you advised us on was just perfect, we could have not asked for anymore.

Once again thank you for all your help

Yours truly,

RICHARD

Just thought we would drop you a line to say a big Thank You for all your expertise and efforts which helped to make such a great honeymoon, which we will always remember.

We would definitely recommend your services to anyone who is looking to plan their wedding.

We were most impressed by the level of service provided on the Qatar airlines flights. We can honestly say that they were the best flights we have ever been on and we would recommend that airline to anybody.

The Reethi Rah was fantastic. Nothing was too much for them, from arrival to departure. Our Villa Host even saw us off at the airport on his day off!!!!

This is just a short note to say thank you so much from both of us for all your work in organising our recent wedding in St Pete’s Beach.

Everything went even better than we anticipated, and a great day was had by all.

It was certainly one that neither of us will ever forget!

Again, thanks for all your assistance - I would have no hesitation in recommending you and White Sands to any friends who may consider a Wedding abroad.

Ronan

Further to our telephone conversation today I would like to, once again, thank yourself Mark and White Sand Weddings for the most amazing wedding and experience of our lives. We have not been stressed at all from start to finish, it couldn’t of run any smoother.

Kakslauttanen Igloo Village & Hotel, Lapland was the most magical resort and absolutely perfect for our wedding. The staff were excellent and even though the Lappish and Finish people are so laid back it does rub of on you and makes living amongst these people a joy. They couldn’t of been more accommodating.

The log cabins took our breath away when we arrived and we felt like the fairy tale had begun. All the wedding arrangements went to plan and we were lucky enough to have our wedding ceremony in the Ice Gallery/Chapel, it was incredible, beautiful and I don’t think you could top it, it was perfect. The reception was also perfect and the staff couldn’t of been more helpful.

Ever moment of the whole day was truly jaw dropping - We then had the perfect end to the perfect day and spent our wedding night under the stars in one of the glass igloos tucked away at the edge of the forest, thick white snow everywhere, every tree covered in white. And then, at about 2.30am, we had our own light show, compliments of the Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights) – spectacular !!!!!!

The husky safari and snowmobile safari were equally amazing and everyone in our party enjoyed every minute.

Many thanks Mark and get us booked up for next year ASAP !!!!!! J

I will be drumming this experience into everybody I see forever Mark and hopefully get you some more business out of it – it’s been a real pleasure dealing with you.

I have attached a couple of photo’s.

Best Regards

Alastair & Laura

Would just like to say thank you to you and your team for the Anniversary card. Can't believe it's been a year already, we went back to Las Vegas for our anniversay and had a great time. Would recommend the beatles love show it was amazing.

Thanks again for everything

Hazel and Shaun Quinn

Just a note to say thank you for all your help booking our holiday to Cuba. We got back on Friday and we had a fantastic time the hotel was fabulous and I would recommend it to anyone all 19 of us could not fault any thing about it, the service the food the people everything was perfect. We will defiantly go back again.

So thanks again for all your help. I will try and send you a photo of the wedding.

Sharon

I would like to say a huge 'Thank you' to Mark and his team. We got married on Sand Key Park in Clearwater, Florida, in April and had the best time. Everything was organised and taken care of so it was pretty stress free! Mark did a brilliant job of making me feel at ease that everything would be sorted for our arrival and also still kept in touch with me to discuss pictures etc on our return. I would highly recommend this company if you are planning to get married abroad!
To any of you thinking of Florida, i would also recommend Clearwater's Island Way Grill restaurant. It was quite possibly the best place we went to for food on our whole trip and they made out reception one to remember with lighting, music, cake etc.

Thanks again to all!

Jess and Mark

Hi Mark,

hope all is well in your world.We are coming down from our high of New York,but at least have our party to look forward to.Thankyou so much for the photos,they arrived back before us!

Thanks once again for all your help in making this happen,our wedding day in New York was incredible,difficult to put in to words how amazing the whole experience was,we would highly reccommend you,and your company to anyone planning a wedding abroad.Thanks once more for everything you've done for us.
Kindest regards Jo.

Hi Claire,

Well what can I say apart from "WAW, we had a fab wedding" there was nothing

to complain about throughout the holiday. It rained for about 3/4 days but that didn't stop or spoil anything (Weather perfect all day for our wedding).

Chris and I have just moved into our new house in Germany so I have not got the internet up and running but once I do I promise you some photos. We had a photographer and cameraman for the wedding and everything on the day was caught wonderful (even with a few laughs). The service that we were provided

with from all the staff throughout the holiday was "the best" we have highly

recommended the resort and also your company to friends and family.

You, yourself have been extremely helpful throughout and you guaranteed us a

wonderful wedding to remember and "we did". We thank you from the bottom of

our hearts for the excellent service that you have provided us with throughout.

You will here from us very soon, many thanks again for everything, you're a star!

Katharine & Christopher

Hi Mark,

Just thought I’d let you know though the wedding was fantastic and went really well! Lorraine and her staff were fantastic and helped in every way! Also I was wondering if you can or if you can give me an email address for lorraine so I can thank her direct and her staff. Each and everyone of them were great and was over the moon with all the photos, video, limo, the cake and the music etc.

Also I’d like to thank you for all your help and being so responsive with all our queries and all the organising for the wedding. It was a pleasure working with you and would certainly recommend you and the company to others.

I thought I’d attach a pic from the wedding, I do apologise for the quality as it was taken with my phone.

Thank you ever so much and kind regards
Stuart & Natasha

Hiya Mark,  

Just to say a HUGE thanks for arranging our holiday and wedding.  I can't compliment you enough and also the staff who co-ordinated in the U.S.  The hotel was fab, the wedding went well and we all had a great time.  Ellen who is 3 had a ball and did not want to come home!!!   One little query I have is about the of the wedding when I went and got my hair and make up done, I thought this was included as it is included in the wedding itenary, but I had to pay.  Could you check this out for me?

Cheers   Tracy and Robert and Ellen

just wanted to thank you for all the help that you gave me in planning my wedding in the Dominican Republic.  We had a really great time and the wedding was nicer than we could have imagined.

Kind Regards

Alison

Hi,

I've been meaning to email you for ages, but keep forgetting!
Just a quick note to say thank you for all your help in arranging our wedding in New York (2nd June) - it was a wonderful day.

I also wanted to say that both Rev Leslie and Trix Rosen were fantastic and really made the day for us, so we would highly recommend them to others booking a wedding in New York.

Thanks and best wishes,
Kate

Hi Mark

Thanks for this.

Can you add the testimonial below for me.

We recently got married in New York at All Souls Church on Lexington Avenue.We were married in the Sanctuary, it is such a beautiful place to get married as the church is so impressive. The highlight of the service was Rev Leslie, who delivered an intimate and personal service. It was above and beyond my expectations and everyone who attended was very moved by his words.

The reception was held at the Waldorf Astoria with  26 guests in attendance.We had two rooms, one for a cocktail reception and after dinner dance and another for the meal, both of which were breathtaking. The food was fantastic, service excellant and both rooms were beautifully decorated. I would definitaley recommend the Waldorf as it really did turn out to be our dream wedding.

Trix, our wedding photography was great. She made the day much more fun and we were really pleased with our pictures. Angela the co-coordinator was also great and the flowers were gorgeous!

Mark, we were apprehensive about going abroad as it is such an important day but the worry was removed from the first phone call  to you. Thanks for all your help, it seems strange not the be emailing you as you know I did an awful lot with lots and lots of questions!

Thanks

Tricia

Just a note to say how much we appriciated everything you and Danielle did for us.  We had an absolutely fantastic day and we couldn't have done it without the two of you.  Everything went completely as planned and without a hitch.   I would (and will) recomend anyone wishing to get married abroad to check yourselves out first!  

Once again, many thanks   Michael and Jackie Alexander.

We are just writing to give a big thank you for arranging our wedding in New York.  It was a wonderful day which we will remember for years to come.  We especially would like to thank Carol in New York for all the trouble she went to in changing the day and what that entailed due to the unusual wet weather New York is currently experiencing!  My bouquet was just what I wanted!

Many thanks   Joanne and Dave

Hi Mark, Just wanted to thank you for everything.  The wedding was wonderful. Trix and Eric our photographers were absolutely wonderful and we love the photos, it was just a perfect day and even the rain held off for us.  The Shakespeare Garden is just perfect and would recommend it to any couple considering Central Park.  Our Minister Rev. Leonard, was just the best and our wedding ceremony was beautiful. Please thank Angela and everyone involved in arranging our perfect day, the flowers were breathtaking too! Can't thank you enough Mark, we are very happy and had peace of mind that it would be just perfect! Kind regards Julie and Stephen Dyche.

Hi Claire,

Thank you so much. You been a great help and it's been really good to know that we can leave the entire arrangements in your capable hands. Thank you for all your help and support, the entire week will be down to your hard work.

Absolutely no problem in forwarding pictures of the holiday to you. I'll look forward to telling you about it! I hope this is the beginning of many future holidays with you to come.

Best Wishes.
Sharan

Hi Mark,

We returned home from Florida yesterday and wanted to say a big thank you for organising our wedding on the 27th April at Lowdermilk Park.  My bouquet of flowers was gorgeous, we had a lovely minister doing the service and the photographer was great.

Many thanks again,

Emma and Adam

Hi Mark,

Justa quick email to thank you for your help with our wedding.

The co-ordinator, photographer and the person who married us were all excellent. I would strongly reccommend you use those three again!

Thanks

Simon

Just wanted to say thanks for a great wedding day.  The two women, Lorraine & Linda were both very friendly & helpful & the wedding ceremony was romantic & poignant.  It was a truly memorable day & I'd recommend anyone getting married in Florida to book with yourselves.  The cake & champagne were really good to!!

All our family enjoyed the day.

Thanks

Jill

THANK YOU ! 

Many thanks for dealing with All my constant email and queries – right up until we went to New York.

The wedding was excellent – a most emotional and intimate experience……….  It is wonderful to find an quiet spot in the middle of NYC where two people can be married as if there is no else around.  Even the lady Rev Les accosted to witness the ceremony seemed moved !!

Please thank Angela for all her assistance in the USA – the flowers were great.

REV LES – please use him as often as you can – he was great.  He certainly has a way with words and we were very moved.  He is very personable, down to earth and put us at ease.

Hi Mark

Just quick e mail to say thanks for a great wedding, everything was perfect, Lorraine and team were brilliant, will reccomend you to all.

Once again thanks

Sarah & Chris

Well we are back and the wedding went wonderfully, Angela was fantastic, very cool, laid back and I didn't realise she would be there on the day, which was great.  Haiti was wonderful too.  I shall do the usual bride thing and send thank you cards to them separately.

The view at the Lounge and the View Restaurant was spectacular.  The food was fresh, simple and delicious.  Our vegetarian guests ( of which we have the pickiest on the planet) couldn't stop raving about her risotto, best she had had all holiday - (that's hard to say when you have all of NYC to choose from) .  Wine was fab we have rediscovered New York wines in particular the Riesling, we will be bugging our wine merchant to stock more Finger Lakes from now on!!!!!!!

Needless to say our wedding day will not be one we forget in a hurry not least because of the worst blizzard since 1947, it nearly stopped one of our guests from getting to us, but after a detour to Montreal and a last minute dash to La Guardia he got to us with an hour to spare before the wedding and he had been travelling for 31 hours!!

Thank you so much for your help in arranging this wedding, we truly had a wonderful time.

Rebecca

this is my first day back in work after the wedding!!!!! (i have forgotten what to do!!!)

We would like to thank you and Angela for all your help with our wedding, especially whilst we where out there, please can you pass on our thanks to Angela, as her e-mails comes back undelivered.

Also, can you pass our thanks onto Rev Liz, she was lovely..

Hiya Mark and Dale,

I hope all is well and 2006 has been as good of a year so far as it has been for me.

Please accept my apologies for not getting into contact with you sooner, I have been on cloud nine since the wedding and am now back in work trying to get myself up to day.

Thanks so much for all of your help both here in England and in Florida, the wedding day was like a fairytale, better than I could have ever imagined, still feels like a dream. The hotel was gorgeous and Jan was everything we could ask for and so much more, she completely made our ceremony perfect and we will never forget her for that.

Again, thanks so much for all your help, our day was the best ever and we would definitely recommend your company to others.

Very Warm Regards,

Lisa Waugh

Sorry its taken a while to send this. Busy busy since we got back from Vegas and are making our final plans for immigration to New Zealand in February.

The wedding was fantastic. Absolutley perfect and a scream to boot. Dont think we have one photo where we are not laughing! The Elvis was great. Clint his name was, and had all our friends and family chuckling and singing along. Made us feel great. The chapel was beautiful, the registrar lovely and the actual ceremony just as we would have wanted. Words she said were spot on. Limo was great, driver was great, flowers gorgeous and most of the photos have gone in our album. We cannot fault a thing and thats down to both you and all those involved in the day.

Huge, enormous thanks to everyone.

We will never forget it.......

Zoe and Andy

Hi Mark,  

We just got back from New York, I just wanted to say thanks for everything. We got our licence without any hassle, the trip to City Hall was an experience! We had a great day, The flowers, service and location was perfect.   Could you also pass my thanks onto Angela at the New York office  

Thanks again,   Marian

Hi Mark   Just wanted to say thanks for all your help,  everything went great in Las Vegas and there were no problems whatsoever.  

Many thanks   Emma

just to say a big thanks for a wonderful wedding at the Grand Canyon. The weather was great the setting perfect and I am amazed at how you got everyone to work so closely together, it was perfect! Everyone was lovely and I will E-mail Laila from Heli USA and Melissa from BLR photography who were fantastic.

thank you so much for all of your help and organisation, you did a fantastic job and we had a wonderful time.  Thanks for all your help and support over the last year it was nice to deal with someone so helpful and reliable.

Sorry I havent sent an E-mail earlier we have only just got over the jet lag!

Will recommend you to all of my should be married friends, Thanks again

Hi Mark

Just returned back from America and finally found time to drop you an email. 

Firstly can I just say thank you so much for the support offered to us, by both yourself and Dale in getting our wedding arranged, especially in light of Hurricane Wilma which was due to hit Florida at the same time as our wedding was due to take place.  The service you and Dale offered us was second to none and we were made to feel fully informed and kept up to date at all times and everyone was so friendly – I cannot thank you both enough.

George (the officiate for our wedding) and Brenda (the photographer) were absolutely fantastic people, so warm, friendly and very professional and the service that George conducted was so relaxed and informal – they both made us feel really special and made the day so complete for us.  The photographs that Brenda took for us were brilliant and she made sure they were ready for us to pick up before our return to the UK.  The bridal bouquet and buttonhole were exactly as we requested and complimented everything perfectly.  On your recommendation we stayed at the Sheraton Sands Key Hotel which was wonderful and in such a beautiful location and the staff went out of their way to help us and we completed our wedding day with a superb meal in the restaurant called the Island Way Grill (again at your suggestion) – which I would highly recommend as the location, meal and service we received were all first class.

Once again Mark, thank you so much for your time and effort in getting our wedding sorted out – we would have no hesitation at all in recommending you to any interested parties as we cannot praise you and your colleagues enough for the invaluable, helpful service which resulted in a very relaxed, hassle free, perfect wedding. 

Thanks again Mark and take care

With regards and very best wishes

Michele and Karl

Hello Angela,

The day went perfectly and thank you so much for your efforts! I will remember it always although was over far too quickly and am home now in the rain and back at work!

Dear Angela & Mark

I just wanted to give you both a big thank you for helping us organise our perfect wedding. The Sactuary at All Souls Church was absolutely perfect, the organist was great and I can't begin to speak highly enough for Reverend Leslie Cohen who performed the cerimony.

just a quick note to let you know that all went brilliantly with our florida wedding at sand key park on 30th sept. the beach was gorgeous and almost deserted, the photographs are sensational and our memories will last a lifetime! thank you for arranging this for us.

Just a quick email to say thank so much for your help in what was a fantastic wedding day, it was perfect! Ladies Pavilion is so beautiful, Reverend Leslie was great and said some really lovely things, the photographer, Trix Rosen was an absolute star (have attached some photo’s for you to see). We had our 2 witnesses plus a further 3 people who are NY locals, all friends we made on the Internet prior to our holiday, plus it was a gorgeous sunny day at 25 degrees with a clear blue sky!

Just wanted to send a big thank you across for all your help with our wedding planning. The whole day was absoutely fantastic and perfect. Just what we wanted. The ceremony was great as was the venue and the minister. The cocktails were yummy and the food and entertainment and Bergamos was superb.

Thanks for a day we will treasure for the rest of our lives, the help from start to finish was excellent ....... Dont know what more to say think said enough but that is because we had a fantastic day thanks and if you want to use them on your web site please do.

Have just returned from our long vacation, and wanted to say thank you so much for everything, Our wedding day was perfect.

White Sands definitely took the pressure away from Dean and myself, everything was where you said it would be and on time. Gaylord Palms hotel was amazing, you really helped to make our day extra special.

Thank you once again.

Jane & Dean xxx

Many thanks for organising our Wedding in NYC - it was fantastic from start to finish - from the the flowers to the Limo to the ceremony to the photos & locations of and onwards to the Restaurant . The service was brilliant and the Minister and photographer were absolutley superb . The day was undoudtedly the best day of our Lives .

Info on the 21 Club -
A restaurant with class and old style service in luxury surroundings The restaurant was probably the best we have ever been to and bearing in mind eating out is high on our hobby list. The service was second to none and the food was cooked to perfection.
This was the icing on the cake for our wedding experience

Once again many thanks

Thought i would drop you a note just to tell you how brilliant everything was at our wedding. We could not have asked for a better day.

We cannot thank everyone enough, please pass on our thanks to all concerned, especially Lorraine.

Hi mark!
Just to say thank you for everything - the day was brilliant and all went according to plan. The minister and the photographer were lovely and the co-ordinator was extremely helpful.

Once again, I will not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone who is wanting to get married abroad as the whole experience was stress free and very well organised!

Thanks and regards

Carol

sorry for the delay, yes we received our photos about a fortnight ago and we're really pleased with them - thank you and the team in America for making it such a special day.

Thanks again, Eddie x

Hi Mark

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU from me and Chris for everything............the wedding was superb.  Minister was lovely and the photographer was fantastic. Considering the short notice, everything was perfect.

Thanks again.

Karen ;0)

Hi Mark  

Just a brief word to say a big thank you for all your help! The day went perfectly; flowers beautiful, our Notary was lovely and they even upgraded the Sedan to a white stretch limo!   Thankfully the weather was perfect as the week had been rather cold and showery. I would recommend Bill Baggs as a venue, the lighthouse is fab at sunset. We managed to get our license without any problems (only passport needed) and later found out you could call in and get married in the City Hall with a "quickie" ceremony! Not very romantic!   Attach one of the best pics from the day. If you ever need to use us as a reference please feel free,  

Best wishes
