New York City Testimonial
Just Received this from Charlie and Leyton who married on the 19th of October!
Dear Lisa,
I just wanted to write to say a huge THANK YOU for organising the most amazing wedding for us. When Leyton and I got engaged in February, we knew we wanted to do something different but we weren't sure what. After much searching and discussion we decided upon the Ladies Pavilion - Central Park - New York. Our wedding last Tuesday was amazing, more that we could have ever wished for. We want to thank you for everything you did back in England - for all the emails we initially sent (I felt very high maintenance!!) - for all you reassuring replies and for organising everything for us. The flowers were perfect, exactly as the photo I sent. Catarina was great as the co-ordinator in New York, she made everything run so smoothly, we didn't need to worry about a thing. She helped to keep the public as bay during the ceremony and helped to hold all our belongings during the photos. Wendy the photographer was great and we can't wait to get our photos sent through. Susanna made the ceremony so beautiful, the words she read touched everyone's hearts and she has kindly said that she will mail us a copy to keep. She was also very helpful before the wedding whilst sorting out our personal vows . We can't thank you enough for helping us experience this most amazing wedding day. It's a day we'll never forget.
Thanks again, Charlie and Leyton xx

Visit to Florence, Italy
This weekend I was lucky enough to be invited to Florence in Italy, I was a guest at the JoySposi wedding show, an amazing collection of top end wedding suppliers all gathered in Stazione Leopolda a beautiful building in the heart of Florence. Dark and imposing it lends itself to a magical setting for creative wedding specialists to display their fantastic and varied collection of work.
One wedding planner went as far as recreating the tea party scene from Alice in wonderland, an eclectic mix of bright coloured tea sets, vintage cups and random ornaments, even a grass covered floor to stand on with creative lighting to add atmosphere. The wedding planner admitted that she had never been lucky enough to find a client adventurous enough to want such a set up but she felt like being very creative and this was one of her favourite books.
An area was set aside where you could learn to make pasta from a very theatrical and amusing chef. You even got to take home your pasta as a reward... if you were brave enough that is.
What impressed me most is the set up. I'm not a fan of wedding fayres in general I tend to find them a bit mechanical, almost corporate. The atmosphere of the wedding is lost in an overwhelming attempt to make a sale. Weddings are about emotion and excitement. Most people only do this once and they will remember the experience good or bad for the rest of their lives.
JoySposi went to great lengths to create an atmospheric wedding experience mixed with a classy stylish evening lounge bar to relax in. Serving beautiful dishes and a great selection of wines and cocktails all at very reasonable prices, there wasn't a cheese toasty in sight.
The fashion shows were a work of art, beautiful models in white Afro wigs presented the collection of Marina Mansanta very elegantly to James Bond theme tunes.
The show also offered classes by industry leaders to both wedding professionals and brides that needed extra help with their wedding plans.
During my two days at the show I met with over 50 suppliers eager to tell us about their service and how they love to work with foreign couples. Although I didn't get to see much of Florence I did get to sample some of the delights; like the food, the Italian charm and I did manage a bit of shopping at a local craft market. I'll soon be heading back to Florence too see and sample some of the local venues and food of course. I can't wait! a new destination to discover.
I do want to add that I dragged along (kicking and screaming) my husband and 16 month old daughter Olympia. It was our first time travelling abroad together and as my clients with children will know that can be quite daunting (toddlers and planes don't go well together) However she was an absolute star, never moaned once and kept the passengers on the hot and stuffy transfer bus from Pisa to Florence entertained with her dazzling smile, even though she was hot tired and rather fed up. Matt my husband will be writing up his experience of Florence with a toddler for anyone thinking of travelling there soon.

April and Glenn's private beach wedding
Congratulations to April and Glenn who married on the 29th of September on beautiful Cameo Island
Hi Lisa,
At last I can get back to you!! It has just been manic for us since we got back early Friday morning. I have been working and we have had to fit in several family visits too. We had the first week at the Aresti Villas & then the second week at Alykanas Village.
Anyway, so the news you want to know, how did the wedding go? I don't know how much to tell you really so just a brief run down and if you need to know anything else then please just ask!
It was so perfect just the 6 of us, so relaxed and friendly and we all had a lovely time. It was very simple and uncomplicated just as we wanted. We had a super day, the weather was great, not too hot & no rain! After the ceremony & long session of photos we went onto the Aresti Piano Bar and they had set up a pretty table with flowers, decorations & a bottle of bubby even though we didn't arrange anything so that was really lovely. The restaurant was empty too so we had it all to ourselves which was an unexpected surprise.
So to sum it up it was all exactly as we had hoped and imagined and was the perfect day! Thank you so much for helping to arrange it all!
I have attached a few photos for you and a few more in another email and can send more should you need them, hope you like them.
Thanks again & I will be recommending you to anyone who might consider marrying abroad!
