"Sue and I want to thank you for helping us make Hannah & Michael's wedding such a wonderful day. It was a perfect day in every sense and we look back knowing that we would have changed nothing. Thank you for all the behind the scenes work that went unseen. We were able to enjoy ourselves and that was because you were there managing the bits and pieces. All of our guests have commented on the wonderful day – some even describing it as a triumph! Thank you for your part in that success."

"Bernadette and her team made the day (almost) completely stress free. First class service, excellent value for money and impeccable attention to detail throughout. Bernadette seemed to care almost as much as us that everything was perfect for our wedding day."

"Having Bernadette help organise our wedding meant that my mother and I didn’t argue too much over details. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into making our wedding day special. We will be recommending you to all our friends for their weddings. We were pleased with all recommended suppliers."

"You completely took the stress away on the day. We didn’t have to think about anything but enjoying ourselves. You took time to get to know exactly what we wanted and exceeded expectations. Very professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your services."

You really did a truly truly wonderful job and two of my friends who are getting married next year have asked for your number - I seriously do not think that I would have coped as well if I didn't have you.

I don't want to sound too gushing, but I really cannot express the service you provided without doing so. Thank you again, I really hope that we can keep in touch."

"I just wanted to write and thank you for all your help at our wedding last Friday. We both had such a wonderful day and we loved every minute. Everything went just as we had planned and we felt so relaxed not having to worry about any details. We have had loads of people telling us how wonderful the club looked. I have never seen it look so elegant, it seemed hard to believe it was actually the same place. The timings were very tight and I hope they didn't cause you too much stress!"

"Bernadette, it was just breathtaking! The day was PERFECT! From the beginning to the end! When I walked into the chapel, I just kept thinking "Is this really for me!?!" It just seemed so beautiful and special. Thank you for your hard work drying out that gravel and putting it and the candles in all those luminares!!!! Then for setting them up and lighting them in beautiful rows! How striking! Now... the barn!!!!! Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!!!! My God!!!!! Bernadette, it was unforgettable! We keep talking about it, I'm not kidding, the entire night, people kept coming up to us saying it was the MOST BEAUTIFUL wedding/reception they had ever been to! It looked like Disneyland for adults! You are so detail oriented and made sure that all my silly specifications were carried out to the letter. Honestly, it was beyond my hopes and my expectations. I hope I have conveyed to you how very much I appreciate your hard work. You really did make this wedding for us. You made it a day we will never forget. Thank you Bernadette!"

"Just a quick note, now that Stuart and Megan have just left for the USA, to send a BIG THANK YOU to both of you for your sterling work on Saturday and our appreciation for the imagination and organisation shown in turning a nice event into a spectacular one that the village won't forget in a hurry!! It was Stuart's idea to hire a wedding planner to save me the inevitable stress and heartache of going it alone and, as usual, he was dead right. I don't suppose my blood pressure rose by more than a few points throughout the whole process. Thanks again."

"We were really glad you helped us and don't want to imagine what state we would have been in without you. You provided just the kind of advice and service we needed and I would have no hesitation in recommending you or any member of the UKAWP to other brides. Especially if their wedding is as big as ours."

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for your help with finding a band for our wedding, I have spoken to Adrian from the band about some of the details and I feel sure they will be put on a superb show for our evening. I am really so pleased I contacted you, it made things so much easier. At the moment, our other arrangements seem to be going well, but if we come across any other things we need help with we'll definitely be in touch."

"Just a quick note to say many, many thanks for all your hard work at our wedding - the whole day seemed to run incredibly smoothly and I know this was due to all your hard work behind the scenes. Thank you so much for setting up the marquee perfectly - it looked just as I'd imagined. Everyone complimented us on how the marquee looked and also how helpful but unobtrusive you were."

We booked Dream Occasions to find the perfect venue for our wedding reception and to coordinate on our big day. Bernadette was fantastic! She found us a venue that had everything we had asked for and believe me, that would have been a challenge for anyone! On the day we were able to stay calm and enjoy the day knowing that Bernadette had everything covered. We arrived at our reception to find that Bernadette had obviously worked hard - everything was perfect! She then made sure that all of our guests were well looked after (my mum wanted to take her home) and she was great with the children. I would highly recommend Dream Occasions to future brides!"

"Thank you ever so much for finding us The Julie Cooper Band for our wedding on 24th July. I was close to tearing my hair out looking for something both appropriate and local! It's so time consuming and there are so many bands out there. Having listened to the demos you sent me, I feel we have chosen the best to suit our style of wedding and am a lot more confident having had a personal recommendation. I also appreciate you negotiating the price and arranging for a contract to be sent to us. I cannot tell you how much time and effort you've saved us!! Many thanks again."

"Thank you very much for making our day so special. If it wasn't for you we would have no hair left! We really appreciate everything you have done. I'm sure we'll meet again for the next 'Hawkhead' wedding. Lots of love."

"Thanks for everything - I had a fantastic day - the best bit for me was that I didn't need to think about a thing on the wedding day - I could just enjoy myself."
