    Debbie and Mark

     

    4.00pm on Monday 4th 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.

    Amore and Keith

    Saturday 2nd June at 4.00pm was the time of the wedding for the beautiful and very sweet Amore May and her boyfriend Keith Wallaker.

    The theme was vintage lace, with soft blue,  pink  & white peonies.

    We see so many brides at Rebate and each and everyone look beautiful, but we must say Amore took our breath away as she stepped out of the wedding car.

    She looked stunning, she wore an amazing cream dress and a very vintage styled “Grace Kelly” veil, and the photos show how gorgeous she looked.

    Absolutely awesome.

    Her two bridesmaids carry peonies in their bouquets.  Keith the groom wore a light grey suit and looked very handsome.

    The wedding ceremony was conducted by our local priest Rev Eddie, and the service was very special.

    The bells tolled at 4.45pm as the couple left the church into the sunshine of a glorious June afternoon.

    The couple opted for a traditional gypsy guitarist who serenaded the guests as they  drank cava and ate canapés.

    The bridal party dined on a sumptuous wedding meal in our top dining room.

    They all moved outside later to dance, coaches and carriages came to collect the party well into the early hours.

    Amore & Keith, you have been fabulous to work with, a very easy going couple, nothing ever fazed you, you were always relaxed and happy.

    We know by your comments that  2nd June 2012 was the best day of your life, it truly was an amazing and special day for you, and we have loved working with you.

    All of the wedding team want to wish you good luck, much love and happiness  for you future.  You make sure you come and see us all again at Rebate.

    Much love from the wedding team, Dawne, Sandra, Bob, Andrew, Paco, Andres, Eric, Nicole, Pepi and Carlos and of course all of the waiting staff at Rebate

    Katerine and Terje

    It was all fun and games at Rebate on 28th April 2012 as the paparazzi came to town!!  Ok Magazine Norway were outside our quaint church to capture photos of the famous Norwegian comedian Terje Sporsem, who married his beautiful wife Katrine
    Helge Petersen the Norwegian  priest form the seaman church came across to Rebate and legally married our couple.
    It truly was a star spangled production, with over 90 guests who attended the very glamorous couple wedding.  Plenty of stunning outfits and quite a few famous people, from film, television and stage.
    The guests partied hard the week leading up to the wedding, they even had a party the night  before the big day at San Pedro, and all the guests dressed up in traditional Spanish costume, but all the guests managed to get to the wedding, but we believe there were quite a few with thick heads!!!
    Terje turned up early at Rebate, and for a gentleman used to the stage and public appearances, he was extremely nervous.
    The bridesmaids were all dressed in soft cream and looked amazing, and when the Katrine the bride arrived she stepped out of the wedding car and took all of our breath away, she was a vision of beauty.
    However she was also very nervous, she was offered a glass of cava, which calmed her.
    The church was decorated with beautiful white calla lilies in tall elegant vases.
    The service was moving and very special, and they had a Norwegian celebrity singer, who voice was amazing.
    The Mariachi band in their traditional costume played during the canapés and cava which got the party off to a good start.
    The guests made their way up to the top dining room, and enjoyed a stunning wedding menu.
    They partied long and hard into the early hours, when carriages collected them all.
    Thank you Terje & Katrine for bringing the glitz and glamour to Rebate . We were all tickled pink! to think our little cute Rebate church and restaurant would be in Ok Magazine, and we are looking forward to seeing the edition that your wedding will appear in.
    Thanks for being such a special couple, we have loved arranging your wedding and working with you both.
    We wish you both, love and happiness in the future, and please come and see us all again.
    Much love from the wedding team at Rebate.
    Dawne, Sandra, Andrew, Carol, Bob, Paco, Pepi, Carlos, Andres, Eric, Nicole and all of the rest of the team.

    11th April 2012 was a very special day for Siobhan & Paul from Wales, not only did they have their wedding service in our little chapel, they also had their two boys Tomas and Rhys christened.

     

    The couple had their wedding ceremony first, which was very moving and special, they signed the register and left the church.

    The guests showered the couple  with fresh rose petal confetti, and then they all went back into the church for the christened service.

     

    The church was filled with scented candles and the pedestals were filled with brightly coloured pink blooms.

    It was a very happy but moving 1 ½ hours.

     

    The sun shone, which was a blessing as the day before was very overcast.  The wedding party enjoyed canapés and drinks under the trees outside of the church 

     

    Siobhan wore an extremely stylist ¾ length cream dress and a 50´s style short veil,  her hair was coiffured into French pleat, she looked beautiful.

    Her sister was the only maid and she wore a lilac/ pink dress, with a diamantes hair slide.

     

    The handsome groom and best man wore a light brown suit, with pink and lilac stripped ties.

     

    The dining room looked stunning with fabulous floral table centres set on high silver candles, the cake looked amazing in ivory dressed with pink and green hearts, which matched all of the hand made table stationary

    The chairs were dressed with green and pink swags which looked amazing

     

    It was a very special day for the guests, and the wedding team enjoyed the day also.  Siobhan and Paul have been so delightful to work with.
