I thought I'd send you a quick email to THANK YOU again so very much for organizing our wedding!! We truly were pleasantly surprised and wonderfully pleased with every aspect of the wedding. It was all so fantastic that I'm not even sure where to start!

Please be sure to pass along my thanks and best wishes to Fiona of Wedded Bliss, Hinoi the photographer, Melinda from Pacific Bride as well as your flower vendor and cake maker. Also of course to the staff at Moana Sands and the Paw Paw Patch! As you might imagine, when planning a destination wedding (in a place you've never been) the details can get quite daunting. Your attention to detail, calm demeanour, pleasant attitude and consistent and timely communication (throughout the previous year) made my wedding planning experience quite easy! I could really see your vast wedding experience show through the entire planning process but to watch you the few days before as well as "on the day," I couldn't have asked for a better wedding planner!!

To discuss a few highlights:

Fiona was magnificent! She is very pleasant to be around, easy to talk to and seemed to really relate to us as a couple. She was personable, friendly and truly made us feel welcome to Rarotonga and assured that all our details were in place and never let us down. Just like you, she is calm and relaxed and this makes all the difference when feeling like a stressed out bride. My only stress really revolved around organizing friends and family to attend the event! LOL. Fiona is an asset to your team and I think she represents you and Wedded Bliss very well.

Hinoi, the photographer, was also very pleasant and easy-going. He made us feel relaxed during the photo session and his confidence and experience were instrumental in making us feel relaxed on the day. He is very talented and really captured our day perfectly.

JK the Celebrant was perfect! He was light, fun, smiley and seemed to match our personalities wonderfully. We felt at home with him the minute we met him and think he was perfect to officiate our day. He made our vows special and unique and his ceremony was one I'll never forget. I expected to cry my eyes out but for some reason, felt so very lucky/happy/relaxed, that I sailed right through the whole ceremony without a tear!! Now, that is unlike me.....Thank goodness you have chosen the best of the best for all your vendors -
it sure is obvious when it all comes together.

As far as Ngawai, Moana Sands and the Pawpaw Patch crew goes - I was SOOO very happy and pleasantly surprised with the AMAZING food and wonderful attention to set-up and organization these individuals showed us. Our guests are still talking about how lovely the food was. Thank you so very much to everyone at Moana Sands and Pawpaw Patch for making our wedding day so special and relaxed...and yummy of course!

To finish, we are very happy.....we had such a lovely day and couldn't think of ONE thing that we would do differently. It was perfect! Rarotonga now holds a special place in our hearts and we plan to visit again as soon as possible. It's been tough to come back to reality (and work) and to say goodbye to our American friends/family but this holiday and our wedding day in particular will be some of my most treasured memories. Big hugs to you and THANKS for everything you did to make our day so special!
