Testimonials
Here are just a few of the comments we have received recently.
Thank You for making our wedding magic. All events were excellently planned and executed.
The boat trip was an excellent ice breaker for our guest to get to know each other before the wedding.
The wedding was just as we hoped for, and even better. You and your team's professionalism and eye for details, just made the day.
Even the bus trip to the beach was extraordinary, and again shows the flexibility and dedication your company pays to your clients.
We and our 90 guests can not find a single thing we would have changed, thanks. If you need a recommendation, tell them to send us a mail, we will give you the best testimony ever.
Elisabeth and Nils, from Norway, married on 29 June 2010
When we think back to the planning process for our big day, we think of all the worry and stress that we were
having about the organising of such a big event in our lives, and how it was solved by a team of genuinely nice
and professional people at weddings in crete.
From day one, everything was explained to us in detail, from the cost of booking the services of Elizabeth,
Rose et al ... to the approximate cost per head for the meal, and all the extras we would like also.
When we emailed with a query (even a silly one!!), it was answered promptly and courteously by either Elizabeth
or Rose themselves, so it always felt like a personal service.
When we arrived in crete, we found everything in order as was promised, and also a lot of running around was
done on our behalf with no grumble by Elizabeth as we were spectacularly dis-organised!! Even down to lending
us her own full length mirror on the morning of the wedding day so nikki could dress!!
Not only did we meet a very solid professional working team in weddings in crete, we met new friends in
Elizabeth and Rose, who we will meet with and have a lovely cretan meal when we go back next year!
To anyone wishing to have their dream wedding in crete, we would not hesitate to recommend Weddings in Crete
to organise your big day!
Thank you Weddings in Crete
James and Nikki, from Ireland, married on 1 June 2010
Thank you so much, Elizabeth and Rosemary, for giving us a dream wedding.
It was perfect in every way. We had the most romantic setting outdoors for both the ceremony and the
reception, a lovely ceremony with a warm and witty priest, the best food ever, beautiful decorations, wonderfull
sky lanterns flying of into the dark, a spectacular firework display and great music - all as a result of the
fantastic job you did on plannig the whole event.
It was a bit stressful to trust complete strangers in a different country with the planning of one of the
most important days in our lives, but every e-mail and message we got, just confirmed that things were under
control and as we wanted them to be. Our guests had a great time, we had an unforgettable day and we hope you
enjoyed it as well. Thank you!

Karen and Wayne, married in Rethymnon on August 18, 2010
Dear Elizabeth and Rose,
We have been meaning to write to thank you for the exceptional job you did
on our wedding day. The whole day went perfect; we are still getting tons of
complements on how beautiful the whole wedding was.
We cannot even imagine how we ever would have made it through our wedding
without the help of you and your team. From all the complicated administrative
arrangements months before our wedding to setup of the ceremony and taking care
of every single details of decoration, flower arrangements, wedding favours,
music, photograph, and dealing with vendors at our wedding day - everything was
arranged with such a great care and professionalism so that the only thing we
had to worry about was to enjoy the best day of our life to the fullest!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your dedication and care.
Nashmil and Sylvain who were married in Crete on July 9, 2010
We would like to say a great big thank you for all the arrangements made for our wedding day. THANK YOU!
We had an amazing day and it was everything we hoped for. Relaxed, Fun & Memorable! We thoroughly enjoyed our day from beginning to end.
Everthing was perfect, The wedding arch and petals were beautifully arranged and I loved my flowers, they were exactly as I wanted - thank you. Although we kept things quite simple the results were amazing. Your efforts to dress the table at the restaurant were beyond our expectations and the table looked fantastic! Again - thank you.
What more can I say, for us it was Perfect and a day that we will remember and treasure always.
Thank you so much.
Julian and Sarah Bylinsky who were married in Crete on May 26, 2010
Our day was FABULOUS!!!
Better than expected, better than I would have ever dreamt of!!!
Everything was so well organised and put together that I personally think that I would have not been able
to do a better job!
Everything was as discussed and planned via emails, every little thing from the biggest detail to even the
little smallest detail was just right.
I would not have wished for a better wedding day nor would I change anything that happened on our special
day all was just PERFECT!!
I would recommend Weddings in Crete without any doubt to everybody considering getting married in Crete.
Thank you for all your hard work, all the long hours that you have put into our wedding and all the planning,
all the emails and all your friendliness and hospitality in Crete!
Adelia and Donavan who were married in Crete on February 16, 2010
Dear Elizabeth and Rosemary,
Apologies for the long delay in thanking you both for our wonderful wedding - the sun shone,
the wedding venue was beautiful, the food and taverna were a great choice, the flowers and arch were
just how we imagined it would look and your help and support throughout was greatly appreciated.
The whole ceremony was just as we wanted it and we could not have done this without you both.
Our guests had a fabulous time and we had very positive remarks form them about how special and
beautiful it all was. Once again thank you for making our wedding a very special, beautiful and memorable day.
Shannon and Bronwen, who were married in Crete on June 26th 2009
Our day was fantastic, thank you so much for all your hard work. We are both missing Crete very much and hope
to return soon.
Our family & friends who joined us were amazed at how well everything was organised and we have spent the
last two weeks looking at the many photos taken. I think this has been a lovely memory for everyone that is going
to last a lifetime especially for me and Adrian.
I wish you continued success with weddings in crete.
Liz Manuel who married Adrian in Rethymnon on 25th September 2009
We would like to thank you for all your help in organizing our wedding day! Everything went great
and it was truly an amazing day for all of us.
Everything went exactly how we wanted it. That was a truly unforgettable experience in Crete. If anyone
from my friends or relatives will plan a wedding abroad, I will definitely recommend Crete as the destination
and you and Rosemary as wedding coordinators.
Thanks again and good luck!

Thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect - just what we wanted - fun and relaxing! All our
guests were impressed with the excellent arrangements and how helpful and professional you both were in
making the day go swimmingly!
All the planning, emails speeding across the world and trips to organise paperwork here were worth it -
we had a fabulous day - full of special happy memories - the Cretan dancers were fantastic and really helped
the night go with swing - and yes Bob can still walk!!
Thanks again and we've recommended you to two couples since our return.
Bob and Pam
married in Crete on 20 May 2009
Thank you very much for all of your help! We couldn’t have done it without you. You did a superb job
and have made our wedding day as memorable as it could have been.
Thank you so much for all of your help, you and Rose were wonderful!!
Renee and Marc
married in Crete on 7 May 2009
I just wanted to say a huge thank you to both of you again for making our day so special and so relaxing.
We had such a wonderful wedding - it was so natural and relaxed and it felt so intimate and personal.
My Mum felt it was a fairytale wedding as it was so personal. Having you both organise and plan our wedding
took away most of the stress and hassle and you were invaluable in guiding us along the way; you are both such
lovely, warm and friendly people you put us both at ease immediately. Thank you for providing us with a
fantastic photographer - he took some excellent photos - a real good mix of formal shots and candid shots!
The sunset ones are just unbelievably good - everyone keeps commenting on how fantastic they are! The cake
was delicious and I was gutted I could not eat more! It looked perfect and thank you for setting up our
table with my bits and pieces! By the way we managed to bring home the 2 candles with us!! Dave packed
one in his case and I stuffed the other in my Dad’s luggage! So now I have 2 fantastic big candles!! The
decoration was perfect and even better than I expected! The orchids were beautiful. Thank you so much for
tying my ribbon and diamante buckle around my lovely bouquet! I managed to save one rose from it and I was
gutted I could not bring it home with me!

Hi Elizabeth and Rose,
I'm writing to say thank you to both of you for making our wedding so perfect for us. (We've been manic since
returning to the UK but have managed to speak to most of the guests who came out to Crete and they all seem to
think it was a lovely wedding and a great night out!) We chose Weddings in Crete because you promised to tailor
the day to us and we didn't want to book a package "production line" kind of wedding; you certainly delivered.
From the beautiful church at Aptera to dancing in the street at the taverna was all such a contrast and
has given us all memories which will stay with us for a very long time.
Julia and Dimitris

Gail and Richard

I'm very excited that we are leaving soon (Friday) and I also really look forward to meeting you. I can't
even tell you how immense of a help you have been to us in planning our event and I will be so happy to
recommend you to anyone who asks!

A Summer Wedding
Not every couple takes 40 friends and family on honeymoon with them but that’s what we did. In the summer of 2004, we flew to Crete to get married - and they all came along.We were married in unconventional style, in a breathtaking setting next to an abandoned fort on top of a hill with the beautiful bay of Souda on one side and the White Mountains on the other. Elizabeth et al organised all aspects of the wedding flawlessly - from the flights and accommodation in traditional Cretan farmhouses, to the legal arrangements of the ceremony, to the riotous reception at a local Taverna. And they coped admirably with the few foibles of the more demanding members of our retinue - nothing was too much trouble.
Our guests told us that the wedding was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Of course they probably always say that but we suspect that there was more than a hint of truth on this occasion.
We wanted a different wedding to the usual UK formula - the car, the photographs, the hotel reception where three other receptions are happening simultaneously, the rain ... In fact, we may have been the first people in history to be married on our hilltop location. The only similarity was the price - we spent the same on a wedding and two weeks holiday in Crete for 40 people as we would have blown on a single day in the UK.
Our experience in Crete was magical from start to finish and we can whole-heartedly recommend Elizabeth and her team to arrange any wedding in Crete. And yes, we did get our honeymoon; we sneaked off to a charming hotel 10 miles away in Chania for a couple of days - again recommended and booked by ... you know who.
Testimonial from Mark and Agnieszka Wilcock, who were married in Crete in July 2004.
