Good morning my favoritest ever wedding planner!!!

 

I just wanted to say an enormous thank you for what was genuinely the best day of my life! It was brilliant! You guys at Rebate made it everything we had hoped for and more and we are so so grateful!!!

You are bloody brilliant ‘my lover!’

The guests have ALL said its the best wedding they’ve ever been to and that it will be impossible to top! You guys really gave us a wonderful day!

You were also amazingly helpful and hilarious throughout the planning and the day- perfect wedding planner babe!

Ooh also just thought I’d let u know that the website has listed me as Amanda Dawson- (that was my old stage name) I really should change my email address! Is it impossible to change it to Amanda Richardson at all? No worries if not- just thought I’d let you know.

 

Once again- thank you for everything. I’m very sad it’s over and we’ll pop in and see you every now and then.

 

All my love

Amanda

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 20^th 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.

 

 

The lovely Claire & Alan Wildman, took their Wedding vows on Saturday 16th June 2012.

The bride looked amazing, carrying a lovely hand tied bouquet in lemon, yellows and shades of pink, and she carried in her hair fresh flowers to match which looked stunning.

Her gorgeous brides maids wore lovely knee length raspberry coloured cocktail dresses, and they also looked beautiful.

Claire has been a perfection with details, and endless emailing over the last year, ensured that the wedding team, had everything in place for the happy couple.

The service was special and moving, however the bride shed a few tears before she walked up the aisle, wedding nerves!! got the better of her.

The sun shone and it was a hot day, but the guests cooled down after the church service under the canopy of the trees, where they toasted the happy couple with cava and nibbled on delicious canapés.

The dining room was decked out in lemons,yellows and summery pink shades of seasonal blooms,  and it  looked stunning.  Likewise the wedding cup cake tower look a treat also,

The guests partied until late when carriages came to collect them all at 2.00am.

We thank you very much Claire and Alan for your kind words of thanks in the card that you sent the wedding team.

You have been a wonderful couple, and we have enjoyed organizing your wedding.

We wish you both a very happy life, and please come back to see us all again

Much love

Dawne, Andrew, Bob, Sandra, Carol, Paco, Carlos, Andres, Eric, Pepi, and all of the wedding squad.

 

 

 

We’d both like to say a “Big Thank you” for everything you and the Rebate team did, to make our wedding the most special day possibly.

Alan and I had the most amazing day, prefect in every way. The bouquet’s, buttonholes and flower decorations where gorgeous. My hair piece was absolutely beautiful. We wouldn’t have changed a thing.

All our guest’s commented how wonderful and picturesque the venue was and what a wonderful, fun time they all had. Everyone was well and truly feed & the wine kept flowing.

Sorry for bursting into tears when I first arrived, all my emotions just came rolling out. I hadn’t seen Alan since 7pm the night before and I was just over whelmed with happiness and excitement.

Alan was very happy he got to ring the church bells, I would say it made his day, but he assures me that getting married made his year.

Once again thank you to the entire Rebate team for making our day, everything we had imagined and much, much more….

Love Claire & Alan (Mr & Mrs Wildman)  xxxx

 

 

 

We believe this is the most romantic tale of all of our couples at Rebate

Diane & Philip Cutts, took their wedding vows at 5.00pm on Friday 15^th June 2012.

They met as teenagers, and were madly in love, Phil being 18 years old and Dianne 17 years old.

Phil signed up for the army and was posted in Malaysia for two years.  There was a very interfering member of the family that split the couple up, and of course there were no mobile phone, emails or texting.   So the relationship fizzle out.

Diane, then left for Australia with her family and parents and settled there and married and had a family.

Likewise Phil came back from the army and met someone else and married and had a family.

They later both became single again

3 years ago Diane was on the Friends Re-untied website, and whose name should pop up in conversation, but her old flame and first love Philip.

So eventually through friends they got hooked up and have been emailing and Skyping each other.

Phil proposed to lovely Diane over the internet and without hesitation she accepted.

Diane flew into Spain 5 days before the wedding ceremony where she was eventually reunited with her first love and the love of her life Philip after 45 years.

Now is that the best true love story you have ever heard!! Bless them both, and the lovely couple whose love never died got married in our Rebate church.

Congratulations to this smashing couple we hope your future is full of fun and happiness, Your love for each other was so obvious on your special day here at Rebate

Much love from all of the wedding team Dawne, Andrew, Sandra, Bob Paco, Carlos, Eric, Andres and all of the gang

4.00pm on Monday 4^th June 2012 is when Mark Gray & Debbie Brown had their wedding service.  This happy fun couple had the most amazing wedding.

The fantastic soloist Maira O´Hara sang “Ava Marie” during the service and there was not a dry eye in the chapel.

Debbie opted for all ivory and white flowers and the church looked stunning.

Mark and his two boys who were the ushers looked extremely smart in dark grey suits.

And Debbie looked gorgeous in a beautiful beaded cream wedding gown.  Her bride maids were in long champagne coloured dresses

The whole wedding was very special and glamorous .

The church bells tolled and as the guests and the bridal left the church, the ever popular Mariachi band walked up the steps to the church to serenade the wedding party, in the lovely Spanish sunshine.

Canapés with cava, were served to the guests under the trees, and then the bridal party was led to the top dining room to commence their wedding meal.

At the end of the meal the guests were treated to a flamenco show, by a local dance troop, with audience participation!!!

Then the fun and games began out on the terrace, Debbie and Mark purchased flip flops for those guests who had sore feet through wearing new shoes, the wedding team set the flip flops into a heart on the dance floor.

Debbie and Mark, we have loved working with you, at Rebate, we hope that we made your dreams come true.

Again another fabulous fun couple, who were so easy to work with.  Thanks for choosing Rebate as your wedding venue.

We would all like to send our love to your both, and please come and see us again, and most important, come to see those photos on the wall of your wedding outside the wedding office.

Love to you both you lovely darlings!!

Dawne, Bob, Sandra, Paco, Carol, Pepi, Carlos, Andres, Andrew, Eddie, Jorge, and each and ever member of the Rebate wedding squad.
