    I had hoped that by leaving it a few days I would find words to accurately describe our wedding day at Rebate. Here we are more than a week later and I am still struggling to sum up our day!

    All I can say is that it was truly magical and far surpassed all of our expectations. I am so glad that I looked to you for your opinion on flowers, entertainment and everything else! You know your craft well and it showed on our perfect day. It seemed like the day moved seamlessly from one perfect moment to the next. I don’t think that any of our guests will ever forget standing at the top of the Rebate steps when the mariachi band appeared! The moments that stand out for Nic and I are pretty endless, but I would point out that the flamenco dancers got our entire party onto the dance floor at the end of their performance. In fact, all of our guests formed a circle around us and danced their socks off to La Bamba, the first dance of the night! At the end of the night, they surrounded us again for a brilliant sing/dance-along to Sinatra’s New York, the very last dance of the evening. Our fantastic DJ Damien deserves a special mention, not only did he take the time to make contact with me before the wedding, he sent me a link to all the songs he played pretty much straight after and now we are able to make a CD of our wedding playlist. Also, hats off to whoever was responsible for decorating the top terrace the location of all our fun, it was just beautiful! As for our waiters, they were perfect and the food was amazing too.

    You really did carry out our wishes to the letter, even recreating the picture I sent you of the lanterns in the church with the candles and petals! You kept us going during our seemingly endless paperwork stresses and took the time to listen to the inevitable family challenges that go hand-in-hand with any wedding. And throughout it all, we had a laugh with you.

    My advice to any future Rebate brides would be to let go, stop obsessing and to just trust you and the team. I am so glad that I worked with you on everything and just relaxed and enjoyed it all. I didn’t even have to worry about you going in for the hard sell, you just told me what would and wouldn’t work for our small group instead of me paying for any unnecessary extras… I listened to your advice and our day was magical.

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, it truly was the best day of our lives!

    Mr and Mrs Grant

    Hello Andrew

    Many thanks

    Hello Dawne/Bob and all of the Rebate team.

     

    We have been home for nearly a week now and words cannot describe how amazing our day was.

     

    It all started on the 26th June 2013 when Sam asked me to marry him (of course I said yes!)

    I started to search the Internet as we said we would love to get married abroad.  Rebate was popping up alot and after looking through the most beautiful photos and reading all of the brilliant reviews we decided to go ahead and book it.

    After talking to Dawne over email (a lot) we were confident that we had made the right decision, even though we had never visited Rebate.

    We booked to have our food tasting at Rebate in January this year. Unfortunately when we were visiting Rebate work was being done on the kitchens so we were never able to visit.

     

    5months later was the week we were flying out to Spain.

    3 days before our wedding was the first time we visited Rebate (brave I know)

    The venue absolutely blew us away…there were a few moments where we had lumps in our throats!

    We were welcomed by Dawne and Bob and as soon as we met they were like family! They made us feel at home. We went through everything and nothing was too much for them. We had our food tasting and we were spoilt for choice. After a lot of food and alcohol (Sam was very very drunk!) We eventually came to our final decision. Now all that we had to do was wait until the big day.

     

    The wedding day was just the best day of our lives. Everything went exactly to plan (thanks to all of the rebate team)

    the flowers were just beautiful, the chapel was as cute as can be and all of the decorations were just stunning.

    One of the most memorable things about the day was the mariachi band…WOW! I would definitely recommend them.

    The night came (after about an 8 course meal) and we danced the night away. The dj (Damian) was fantastic, playing a different range of music to suit all ages and making sure everyone was up dancing.

     

    All in all the perfect wedding and we look forward to returning next year.

     

    Thankyou so much to Dawne/Bob and all of the Rebate team.

     

    A day we will never forget!

     

    Many thanks

    Well we have returned to the uk today after our mini break in Marbella and I just wanted to email you to say a huge thanks for our wedding day.
    It was absolutely perfect.
    I’ll start with my beautiful flowers…they blew me away, I’ve never seen anything like them in my life.
    Everything looked stunning, the church, the canapé area and the terrace.
    Thanks so much for adding in the extra spanish bits….I’m so grateful.
    The entertainment was just fantastic…
    I’m absolutely gutted that it’s all over and super jealous of all the brides that are still to get married at rebate this summer!
