    Sandra and Clive

    I hope you are both keeping well. Sandra and I were in Spain just for 5 days with our two grand daughters and we were hoping to get up to see you. However the youngster’s found friends in the hotel and did not want to leave the pool.

     

    We both wanted to say what a wonderful time we had and all the friends and family so enjoyed the venue.

    It certainly was a day to remember and a big thank you to both and to the staff for making it that way.

    We are back at the end of August for just 4 days and if you are around we will go to Rebate on the Sunday to say hello if you are not too busy.

    Helen  married her long term partner Warren Bird at 2.30pm on Saturday 23rd June 2013.  Their adorable little boy  Milo was also in attendance.

    The day was extremely special for Warren and Helen,  as they had booked their wedding at Rebate over 2 years ago, but at long last the occasion was with us.

    There guests arrived by coach, and the guests enjoyed a drink of cava prior to going into our little chapel

    Helen arrived promptly on time, and she looked stunning, as our photos by Andrew show

    Her gown was ivory, and she wore a long veil to accompany her outfit, she  beautiful beautiful, beautiful

    The service was conducted by our ever present Rev. Eddie Martens, who as always performed a moving ceremony.

    Leanne and Chris

    The wedding of Leanne & Christopher took place in our lovely chapel at 5.00pm on 23rd June 2012.

    Leanne looked so pretty as she got our of the wedding car and stepped into the Spanish sunshine, she wore a beautiful wedding gown which was cream with a small train.  Her tiara was Swarovski crystals and sparkled in the sunshine.  She carried a posy of red roses, which was framed with loops of bear grass. And cream organsa

    Her brides wore red chiffon dresses and carried arum lily sheaths and crystals.

    The service was extremely moving, as her late grandfather was regular visitor to Rebate who had passed away in 2011 and it was his wish that his beloved grand daughter Leanne should take her wedding vows at Rebate.

    His photo was placed on the altar table as a memory of him, I am sure he was there somewhere in the chapel looking down on her.

    They left the church and were showered with fresh rose petals and applauded by on lookers.

    The canapés were taken under the trees, and the guests enjoyed the peace and serenity which Rebate has to offer.

    The couples dining table was bedecked with vases brimming  of purple orchids and red roses, and looked amazing,

    The bridal party and guests boogied well into the evening, when carriages came to collect them.

    My sweet lovely Leanne and Christopher it has been a joy to work with you both, we loved ever minute of you wedding.

    Dawne and the wedding team wish you love, health, and happiness for your future life.

     

    Me and Chris enjoyed our beautiful wedding day in Rebate more than either of us ever imagined! The whole team were wonderful, and you made everything so perfect!! We could not have dreamed of a better way to spend our wedding day and I will never be able to thank you enough!! I am looking forward to telling people all about my fairytale wedding.

    Tom & Amanda Wednesday 20th June 2012 at 4.00pm

    I have wanted to write this testimonial for days,  about this amazing and very special couple Amanda Richardson and Tom Swift.

    They took their wedding vows on 20th June 2012 at 4.00pm in our lovely little chapel

    I cannot being to tell you all what fun they have been throughout the organizing of the wedding and on the day.

    Amanda & Thomas are a very special couple, they both work in the world of theatre, and that is exactly what they wedding was, a stage production.

    Tom and his ushers danced down the aisle to Bruno Mars, “ I want to marry you”

    Followed after by the most beautiful bride Amanda and her Dad.  Amanda looked stunning, like a goddess as the photos show.

    They opted for a non religious service, which was performed by celebrant Malcolm Mc Clean.

    The flowers were amazing, with buckets of lilies and roses, on the steps leading up to the church and topiary trees framing the church doors.  Tall towering vases were filled with peonies, hydrangeas, and green orchids the pew ends which hung from ever chair were cones of aged sheet music filled to the brim with flowers.

    Their guests were from stage and screen, and there were two soloist singers from the guests, who performed in the church, all in all it was the most amazing ceremony.

    As they left the church the Mariachi band were walking up the steps outside of the church playing cheerful, happy tunes, which of course all of the guests joined into.

    The dining room, looked stunning Amanda opted for the white birdcages on the tables, which were dressed with lime green hydrangeas and green orchids

    They had an olde fashion sweet table set up again in whitey green shades, with traditional sweets from England, and traditional paper bags.

    The couple, had made photo frames which looked aged and inserted photos of themselves from their stage productions, pantomimes and other theatre shots, the wedding team hung them in the garden on the branches of the trees, a very special touch.  The two topiary trees from outside the church doors, were moved up into the top dining room on the tables, for guests to write message for the happy couple on brown luggage labels, which they tied to the trees.

    Off course the evening entertainment went off with a bang, and a compilation of songs which was made by Tom, which including all of the guests, having to do a turn on the dance floor.

    Well my darlings, what can I say, you have been the most fun, happy, joyous couple to deal with, I loved ever minute of working with you both.

    Thanks so very much for your kind words, and please come back to Rebate to see us all again.

    Our love to you both from Dawne and the wedding team at Rebate Bob, Andrew, Sandra, Carol, Pepi, Paco, Eric, Nicole, and all the crew.
