Ingelise & Geir , September 09

Dear wonderful girls in Lake Garda Weddings :-)

Thank you all again for making our wedding day so perfect !
We are looking at pictures everyday, and we look forward to visiting Malcesine in the future (many times !).

We are sorry that we haven't had the time to write some words for your homepage, but here it comes ;


Dear Gwen, Laura and the rest of the wonderful Lake Garda Wedding-team !

We thank you all from the bottom of  our heart for making our wedding to a fairy tail and a wonderful memory for the rest of our lives.
From the first meeting a year before the wedding, you have given us the very best service and  your are all so friendly and positive.
You are all so well organized and you are all very good at remembering the small an important details that make the weddings so perfect.

The ceremony at the castle was beatifull , serious and with humor and heart at the same time. The walking through the town with all our guests was a wonderful experience. The champagne toast at la Pace by the lake was beatiful and the staff was so hospitable. The boat trip in the sunshine was also very nice. And the reception at Re Lear with Andrea in charge was perfect with all the gourmet meals.

We were able to relax and enjoy  our day  because you had arranged everything in such a perfect way.
Our three bridesmaids (our daugthers) felt happy and secure. Thank you Gwen for making them photomodels for one day !
And Gwen ; thank you so much for hundreds of beatiful wedding photos. We are so happy that you arranged photos of all our family and friends. We watch the photos daily in our digital phrame and experience the wedding over and over again.

We will give you all the very best recommendations ! It is not possible to arrange a romantic wedding in a better way than you did for us.
You are the best  and we will always be grateful to you.
Malcesine now have a special place in our hearts and we will spend a lot of time in Malcesine in the future.
- maybe we will have an appartement sometime ?

So ; see you girls !
Thanks again and the very best for the future to you all

Francesca and Grant - 2nd October 2009
We booked our initial appointment with Lake Garda Weddings as a result of a work colleague recommending them to us - and from that point we didn't look back. We went out to visit Malcesine a year earlier and fell in love with the idyllic location. The beautiful castle was the perfect setting for a ceremony and the stunning lake view was the most amazing backdrop.

From our initial appointment with Gwen and her team, we felt they had everything covered. Although we loved the idea of getting married abroad, our biggest concern was co-ordinating such a big and important event from the UK (we had 50-60 guests to cater for) and having to rely on another person to recommend outside suppliers, who we may not have a chance to meet beforehand - for example the hairdresser, florist and in particular the band.

However we had nothing to worry about. From the outset, we felt very rest assured by Gwen and her team. Being based in Lake Garda, they knew the local suppliers very well and had built up excellent relationships with them. In addition, Gwen, being from the UK, also knew traditional English wedding customs and elements of a UK wedding we may still want to include and may come to expect. What could have been a very nerve wracking time, not only organising our wedding, but organising it in a foreign country was made effortless.

Gwen, Laura and her team regularly kept in touch throughout the year, giving us plenty of notice on decisions we had to make and all the right legal documentation we had to provide, and we always felt they gave a very unbiased view on the services they provided - not once did we feel pressured to pick a particular service or supplier for the wedding. They were also very polite and reassuring on the occasions where we needed confirming that everything was completely taken care of - and it was!

We could not have asked for more on the day itself. We had Laura with us all day co-ordinating the day, which to us and our guests looked completely effortless. The ceremony in the castle was very romantic, the ride in the Tuk Tuk great fun, and the champagne boat trip the perfect 'added extra' for our guests. The evening reception at the Excelsior Bay was by far the best meal we've ever had. The food was incredible, the service was impeccable, and the terrace provided the perfect setting to watch the sun set over the lake as we ate and drank. The band then gave the best finish to an amazing day, playing a mix of our requested songs with some excellent choices of their own. Since our wedding day our guests have all told us what an amazing time they had.

Not only do we have amazing memories of our wedding day, but a fantastic set photos that Gwen took for us.  In particular, Gwen listened to all our photo requests and went above and beyond to help us get the shots we wanted. This was whilst making sure all the guests were taken care of and weren't left hanging around. Again, Gwen's in-depth knowledge of the area meant our photos were taken at the very best spots in Malcesine - it's proving very hard to choose photos to frame in our lounge as they all look great!

We really cannot thank Gwen, Laura and her team at Lake Garda Weddings and also Kristian and his team at the Excelsior Bay enough for the best day of our life. Nothing was to much trouble - thanks guys, it was perfect!

Regards
Francesca and Grant

Claire & Matt, September 09

Firstly I would just like to say a huge Thank you for everything you did for us to make our Wedding day the best day of our lives.  It was just perfect.  The whole day was just amazing.  From getting ready in the morning, at the hairdressers to arriving at the castle.  If I start from the beginning I can work my way through the day.

 

The hairdresser was fantastic.  I did not have any trials, I just turned up with my bridesmaids and mum and off to work she started.  My hair was perfect, everything and more that what I had ever imagined it was going to look like.  My mum;’s hair was the best and the bridesmaids were so happy too.  Sergio collected me from the hotel what a experience that was through the town in the tuk tuk, I have never had so much attention before in my life, all the holiday makers and locals were all so lovely, everybody was wishing me congratulations.

 

From the start when I arrived to the castle I was met by Gwen, she is so professional, and I really liked the way that you knew exactly where to take the best photos and who would be in it with me.  Very professional indeed.

 

The castle was beautiful, from the views, to the Violinist and Keyboard player.  It was perfect. 

 

We had Canapés and Champagne down by the lakeside.  This was a must!  The food was delicious, from Crab claws, to pizza and freshly carved Parma ham.  Everybody loved this and the views were spectacular.  We then  moved onto the harbour for the boat trip, I am so glad we did this, again everybody was wowed with the beautiful scenery and a much needed cool down.

 

The reception at the Corsaro really was the icing on the cake.  Mario and his staff were just great.  They catered to all our needs, the band was well worth it too, they were really good, everybody really enjoyed themselves.

 

The whole day was like a fairytale and I most certainly felt like a princess. 

 

We are really so thankful for all your hard work and for making our day so special.  We could not fault anything.  You really did work hard and make it so special.  I wish I could go back in time and do it all over again.

 

I really mean this form the bottom of my heart, we will be back one day, hopefully next year for our anniversary so we will defiantly pop in and say Ciao!!!

 

Take care and have a great Christmas.

 

Lots of Love

Annette & Carl, August 09

Hi Gwen, Andrea and all of the team!
 
We want to say a HUGE THANK YOU for making our wedding day perfect in every single way, it was truly magical! Every moment was planned to perfection. The timings of the day ran so smoothly (not our usual luck, we were sure something would go wrong but it just didn't). Our guests were well looked after, and we felt like we were the only ones in the World that were important that day. You honestly made us feel special, even though I knew a few weddings were happening that week.
 
We want to thank Andrea for her committment during the day and of course for the organisation leading up to it. She was warm and welcoming from the moment we met, and most importantly she was honest and sincere. She was on hand throughout our holiday, even advising us on non-wedding related questions!
 
We could not fault the services that you arranged for us. Our guests said the food at La Pace was the best in Malcesine, and Sergio was delightful. He made us laugh every time we bumped in to him during our holls. My flowers and hair were also amazing, exactly the same as the pictures I had sent over. We didn't stop smiling for a second, and Gwen managed to capture evey moment of laughter. Her informal style was perfect for us as we wanted to get on with the celebrations and not spend too much time posing for photos. They are stunning, everyone who looks at them tells us they are beautiful. They capture 'our story' and we love them!
 
We hadn't visited Malcesine before the week of our wedding, we chose to keep it a surprise. We had heard fabulous reviews beforehand but nothing prepared us for the reality of Lake Garda. We fell in love with the towns, and each other all over again. A couple that came as guests got wrapped up in the emotion and went home engaged! We are hoping they will choose to get married with LGW so we have another excuse to return! We have already recommended you to many of our friends and family, and will continue to without hesitation.
 
We honestly can't thank you enough, it was the best day of our lives.
 
Love Annette and Carl

Dear Gwen and Andrea,
 
firstly, i want to apologise for not contacting you sooner, we got married at Malcesine Castle on 17.08.09 and had the most perfect day of our lives! I want to thank you both so much for making it happen and for making it all so easy for us! All our guests have said what a wonderful place Malcesine is and how beautiful the wedding was!  The food was amazing although I'm not sure I have ever seen so much food at one meal! Please pass our thanks on to all at La Pace as well. 
 
Since we have been back we have shown so many people all of the photos and they are incredible, we are so happy with them and are struggling to choose which ones to put up and into an album!
 

Thank you both again so much!

Tammie & Peter, October 2009

We just wanted to say that we all had an absolutely amazing day – in fact it was magical.  Yourself and your team took all of the stress out of the day and made sure that everything ran very smoothly.  We would definitely recommend your company and we were impressed with the level of personal service we received.  The hairdresser and florist were amazing, as were the Excelsior bay – the food and service was amazing.  We would recommend to everyone to have the boat trip as it gives you an hour in private with your guests to just relax and take it all in!  Sergio and the use of the tuk tuk was fab!  Finally Gwen your photos are amazing!!

All in all it could not have been better – and on behalf of all of my guests and ourselves we want to say a very large thankyou to you all.

Jasmin and Dave, August 09

Gwen, Laura and the team,

We want to thank you for giving us the most special day of our lives, everything about the day was perfect and Laura you were a great host and we can't thank you enough for making the day run so smoothly.

Everytime I look at the stunning photos you took Gwen I can't stop smiling and everyone has commented on how special and different they are so thank you.

The ceremony was beautiful and the reception at the Excelsior was first class. The food and staff were all fantastic and made it a very special evening.

All the guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, we're just gutted it's all over now but it will certainly be a day we will never forget thanks to the Lake Garda Weddings team.

Hopefully see you sometime in the future back in Malcesine.

Take care

Jasmin and Dave xx

Claire & Ian, August 2009

Hi to everyone
Were sadly back in England but on a plus point were settling into married life! I just wanted to write to you to say a big big thank you for all your help and support in helping make our wedding in Malcesine the most amazing day of our lives! From the minute we booked through lakegarda weddings we were fully supported, right up to the end of our wedding day, even through the most stressful times and even when I bombarded you with a million questions!! They were all dealt with quickly and professionally! Like many others I was worried about getting married abroad, even things like getting my hair done, however with your help you made this all so easy and the hairdresser was fantastic, I wanted to sneak her home in my case!! I could go on for pages on how brilliant Malcesine is to get married and how fab you all were, but the pictures say it all! I read on the website so many times how magical the place is to get married and did wonder with all the weddings there whether this was definitley true, but it most definitely was! I can honestly say it outweighed all our expectations and our guests are still talking about it, the food at la pace, the boat trip and the meal in the corsaro restaurant, all were out of this world and to top it off dancing our first dance under the stars is something we will never forget! Even though there are many weddings in Malcesine you made us feel like we were the only ones who had ever been married there. Deborah our planner was totally brilliant, she eased our worries and spent the whole of our wedding day ensuring it ran smoothly, she was so lovely to work with so a big thanks to her and i hope all goes well with the baby!!
Thank you again for helping give us the wedding of our dreams, in the most beautiful place I could imagine!! Like many others we will be back for our anniversary and will pop to see you all.
Keep up the good work!!
Claire & Ian Robinson xx

Julia & Tony, September 09

Hi Andrea, Gwen and all the team,

 

We just wanted to say an enormous thank you for everything you did to make our day so very special…you made us feel at ease the whole time, which was an absolute blessing as the day before my father had passed away and I honestly do not think we could have made it through the day without your professionalism and friendliness helping us along.

Gwen the photos are fantastic and sooo many to choose from… Sergio was fantastic; his Tuk Tuk was an absolute blessing for us and mum, as he went out of his way for us…a visit to his restaurant is a must…

Once again a big thank you…

We shall visit again some day…

Julia & Tony

Jess & Steven, September 09

Good afternoon All

 

 

I’m sure you hear this all the time, but we truly feel that the day could not have gone any better – and it’s all thanks to you and the fantastic service you provide. You looked after us leading up to the wedding and were there throughout the day making sure that everything ran smoothly. All of our guests had a wonderful time and they can’t stop talking about it. We wouldn’t have changed a thing – except of course the chance to slow the day down, but then time flies when you’re having fun!

 

You took the stress out of organising a wedding; nothing was compromised in the process and you made it all seem effortless. I can’t recommend you highly enough and give out the website address to everyone I speak to about it.

 

Thank you for all your help, and making our wedding day. The best day of our lives. We hope to see you all again soon xxx

 

All our love,

 

Jess and Steven

 

Emma and Michael – July 2009

 

 

Lake Garda Weddings…we would like to thank you for everything you did to make our big day so special. The day itself was perfect from start to finish and we couldn’t have envisaged a more beautiful setting.

 

The service which was provided from the very first day we arrived was unbelievable and was commented on by all our guests. After visiting the florist, hairdresser, restaurant and the wedding ceremony venue we knew that we had nothing to worry about for the next few days leading up to the wedding as everything was so well organized.

 

The big day ran perfectly by schedule and all our guests were looked after brilliantly. We hope to come back next year to visit, and a few friends have hinted about getting married in the exact same place so fingers crossed!

 

On a personal note, we’d like to thank Andrea and Gwen. Andrea’s thoughtfulness was attentiveness to our needs was more than what we could have asked for. She made us both feel very relaxed on the day itself and answered any queries we had in the run up to it. Gwen – the photos are incredible, they captured everything we wanted and we are constantly looking at them over and over again. Thanks to both of you for making the day so special and making all the guests and us feel so comfortable and at ease.

 

We are so grateful for your help in making our day the most memorable and special day of our lives and we can’t recommend LGW enough for its professional, friendly and unique service.

 

Louise & Steve, September 09

Wewould just like to quickly thank your office for all your help in the lead up to my big day. You very kindly dealt with all my crazy and neurotic e mails in the weeks prior to the wedding . In particular Debbie was amazing. She was so efficient and organised in such a calm and friendly way. She went the extra mile to accommodate all our needs and without her I would have been lost. I would also like to commend her choice of photograher, who was incredible.   I will have no hestiation in highly recommending her and your company to any. Kind Regards  Louise Lee

Peter & Kathleen, September 09

Dear Gwen, it has just been over a month now since my wife and I had our fantastic wedding in Malcesine, Lake Garda. Unfortunately we did not get chance to see you before we left Malcesine, so this letter is just to say a very big personal heartfelt thank you for everything you did in making our wedding one of the most memorable days of our lives, and of all of those who had the pleaseure to attend our wedding day.

From the start of the planning to the ultimate finish on the wedding day, we could not have asked or wished for more. Your help, assistance, good humour and ultimately fantastic photographs, helped make our wedding the fantastic experiece it was, and this is a sentiment echoed by all of those who attended our wedding.

Based on our experiences with Lake Garda Weddings we know that your company will only go from strength to strength, especially so with the wonderful staff you have working for you. It is really refreshing in this day and age to experinece the exemplary customer service that is never wanting and always a pleasure.

We willm ake it a key part of our first anniversary holiday in Malcesine to come and visit you and your team, assuming we can catch you in the office as no doubt your portfolio of customers will grow, because as I write, we have recommended another couple of the wonderful services that you can and do provide.

So, until next year, all the very best for now and the future,

Lots of Love, Peter & Kathleen

Moira & Robert, September 09

We are still on cloud 9 after the wedding and I'm having trouble coming back down to earth after it all! Our experience with LGW was amazing and our wedding in Malcesine was way beyond our expectations. Really it was like a fairytale wedding and we will never forget it! From word go with LGW everything was so easy. I had been in touch with several wedding companies in Italy at the time but LGW shot the rest of them out of the water from word go! You are a highly organised, professional team and really delivered a first class service. Dealing with the team - Andrea, Gwen and Laura was fantastic all the way through.   The suppliers you use are brilliant - I was absolutely THRILLED with my hair, the flowers, the food at Excelsior Bay, the tuk tuk rides and as for the photos they are BEAUTIFUL. A few people have said to me it's like looking at photos in 'Hello Magazine'. Gwen, you have a fantastic eye for capturing the moment on camera - simply magical!   Andrea was fantastic in the lead up to the wedding and on the day itself too. The ceremony was fabulous and both the Registrar and Andrea made it feel very personal and sincere. Our guest were completely blown away by the setting and the day itself. It is an occasion that will stay in all our memories forever. Thank you Gwen, Andrea and the team at LGW - you are superb and I would recommend you 110% to anyone thinking of getting married in Italy.   Lots of Love x Maura  

Shelley & Ian, September 2009

Planning for your big day takes months of preparation and can be quite stressful, especially in the last few weeks. Planning a wedding abroad can be even more daunting, realising that when you are in your chosen country that you can't just quickly pop to the shops for any last minute items. The girls at Lake Garda Weddings really helped us plan our perfect day in an equally perfect setting.
I had a long list of questions to ask at my welcome meeting, a day before the wedding, and I didn't have to ask a single one because Andrea had thought of everything. She is an amazing person and really took the time to get to know us.
Hat's off to you all at Lake Garda Weddings, a truly professional service!
Kind regards Shelley & Iain

Jo & Dean, September 2009

Gwen, Andrea and the team were superb throughout the planning of our wedding.  They were extremely efficient, helpful, informative and also speedy in replying to emails.  Our wedding day went without a hitch and was a fantastic day!  Andrea was with us throughout the day and helped organise everything and let people know what was happening, yet was very discreet.  Our wedding meal at Excelsior Bay Hotel was the best meal we've ever had - am still dreaming over the beef, gorgeous!

All of our friends and family said it was the best wedding they've ever been to!  They have also been saying how fantastic our photos are, so natural!  I would thoroughly recommend Lake Garda Weddings.  Our thanks again to the team for all their help!

Jo & Dean Wheeler! x

Francesca & Sean, September 09

Seán and I want to thank you for making our day so hassle free. We had a wonderful day and our guests did not stop taking about how perfect it was from start to finish. A special thanks to Laura for making the ceremony so meaningful for us. And of course to Gwen for making the process of having our picture taken so painless. Though Gwen I think you have created a monster in that Seán is now posing for all photos!

 

We will definitely return to Malcesine in a few years. See you then! In the meantime best of luck to you all.

 

Helen & Steve, September 09

We would like to say a massive thank you to the Lake Garda Weddings team. Ever since the first email that we sent to you enquiring about possible dates, everything was unbelievable easy. Everyone commented in the months leading up to the wedding how we were the least stressful couple that they had ever known. The only worry that we had in the lead up to wedding was that everything just seemed far too easy! As soon as we arrived in Malcesine and met Gwen and Laura we were completely put at ease, everything was so well organised. Our day was absolutely amazing and looking back there is nothing that we would want to change, even the weather! Obviously when we booked our wedding, like most people we expected it to be sunny however, that is the only thing that you couldn't organise for us! I know no-one really believes us when we tell them about it but we honestly had so much fun having our photos in the rain, we can honestly say there was not a single false smile, we were laughing the whole time. In fact, the rain made the day even more memorable and as the Italians say hopefully it will bring us good luck. The food and service at both La Pace where we had our champagne toast and nibbles at lunch time and the Excelsior Bay where we had our evening meal was totally superb. Clearly all the people and services that you recommend including the florist and hairdresser have been carefully handpicked. Thank you so much for quickly organising the unexpected extras on the day, like popping back to the hairdressers when my curls dropped out in the rain!   Thank you Gwen for all of our amazing photos on the day and for our extra photos the following week, we don't know anyone else who has professional honeymoon pictures!   An extra special thanks to Laura who was absolutely perfect on the day, Laura was our translator at our ceremony and was so professional and genuine and helped make our ceremony relaxed, exactly how we wanted it. Laura stayed with us right up until when we ordered our meals to ensure that everything ran smoothly and to make sure our extremely fussy Grandad and our two young nephews were fully catered for. Both us and our guests have said that we were sorry to see Laura leave, she would have been more than welcome to spend the rest of the evening with us!   It really is hard to put into words how perfect our day was and it is all thanks to you.   Lots of love   Steve & Helen

Cheryl & James, September 09

Thankyou all so much for the most perfect wedding we could have imagined, we enjoyed every minute of the day and the lack of sun really didn't matter!! A special thankyou to Laura, who made everything amazing for us, couldn't believe the beautiful boquet, it was just what i wanted. The after party at the Pace was excellent, did us proud..Although little sis may disagree as she still appeared drunk on limoncella at 10 the next morning, and was still hung over 36 hours later, signs of a good party!!!!
 
All of the guests commented on how wonderful the day was and how Malcesine was the most beautiful setting they had ever seen.I completely agree and can't wait to come back..

Thankyou so much for the 2nd best day of our lives (freddy being born has to be number 1 of course)
Lots of love
Cheryl and James

Gemma & Dave, September 09

We would just like to say what an absolutely amazing day we had, it couldnt have been more perfect. Thank you for everything you did to make our special day run so smoothly we certainly couldnt have done it without you! From the moment we first enquired about getting married in Lake Garda you were all so helpful and we are very grateful. Deborah was a star thank you, it was so good to know that you were there making sure everything was ok and Gwen the photos are fantastic!

Thanks again for everything, Malcesine will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will certainly be back to visit so will pop in and say hi.
 
Gem & Dave xx

Collette & Luke, September 09

'Nothing was too much trouble and our day was perfect in every way. Having Deborah with us throughout meant that we didn't need to worry about a thing, it was all taken care of down to the smallest detail. Our photographs are truly amazing and very good value for money, we got hundreds of beautiful photos which we will treasure, thank you to all' 

Melanie & Andi, September 2009

We had the most magical wedding day in Malcesine and it's all thanks to the team at Lake Garda Weddings. They helped us with everything we needed to make our day so specail. We did not have to worry about a thing and were extremely relaxed about the whole experience. We would like to personally thank them for making our day so memorable and we would highly recomend them to anyone who wishes to get married in Lake Garda. They are very professional, extremely friendly and will go above and beyond to meet all your wedding needs. Melanie & Andi

 

Shelley & Ian, September 09

Hello Gwen and the rest of the team, especially Andrea who helped us effortlessly the day before and on the day of our wedding.

We had an amazing time in Malcesine and our wedding day was everything we both wanted and more.

Sorry we couldn't come in to say thank you personally, but we simply ran out of time to do everything we wanted.

 

Thank you once again

Shelley & Iain

 

Sarah & Jon, September 09

Hello

We would just like to say a HUGE thank you to Lake Garda weddings for making our Special day so fabulous!
From the first phone call to Gwen, to meeting with Laura back in May right through to the our Wedding Day - we could not fault a thing! Every request (and there were a lot) was happily dealt with by a member of the LGW team and nothing was ever too much trouble.
Through your experience and expertise we were able to completely relax and enjoy our holiday and more importantly, the day itself!
Thanks to Laura for ensuring the day went without a hitch - it was more perfect than we ever could have imagined...Laura even put in a special request for sunshine that day!!
All our guests commented on how great Laura was and how much she clearly loves her job!
The one concern we had prior to the wedding was that a Civil service was going to be a bit formal - we could not have been more wrong! Both Laura and the Registrar made everybody feel relaxed through their humour and sincerity, ensuring that the service, the boat trip and the reception were equally AMAZING!!!
Al Cosaro could not have been a better choice for our Reception. Mario, the staff, the food and the location - just stunning!
Since being back at home we have already enjoyed looking through ALL the wonderful photographs that Gwen took. The pictures are gorgeous are really do capture the day so well.
We would highly recommend your company to anybody who planning a wedding. We are so happy we made the call to you Lake Garda Weddings.
All our guests have commented on what a great day it was and it certainly is a day we will cherish and remember forever. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!! x

 

Claire & Jo, September 2009

Dear friends at Lake Garda Weddings   We cannot thank you enough for planning every part of our 'big day' so perfectly.    From day one you were professional, attentive and understanding, making us feel like we were your one and only customer.  As decision making is not our strongest quality - let's just say over the months we changed our minds about details of the day quite frequently and every time you dealt with these requests patiently and with ease.   To imagine celebrating our wedding day elsewhere is now impossible; our entire party of family and friends were truly amazed and in awe of Malcesine.  It's a memory we'll re-live over and over and cherish in our hearts forever...   Big hug, Claire and Joe x   PS  After looking at other couple's photos on lakegardaweddings.com we're thrilled to have made it on to your homepage!  We had such fun 'getting our moves on' during the shoot and the photos you took Gwen are fantastic! 

Sam and Dave September 2009

We both wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the team at Lake Garda Weddings for making our day so perfect!
We would also like to extend our personal appreciation to Andrea and Gwen for their efforts and their expertise.
Gwen, I dont think anyone has ever hearded my family like sheep before but you did an amazing job with the photos and also with getting everyone in order! Thank you also for your assistance with the preparations and your promt replies to our queries - I hope we didnt bother you all too much!
Andrea - Thank you for your advice, assistance and professionalism. Our day wouldnt have been so perfect without your input (and translation!!) Also thankyou for your patience - especially with the bank incident! - and also for the time you spent with us at our welcome meeting, you really made us feel at ease and confident that things would run smoothly. Our day was emotional, fun, fantastic, perfect and amazing and alot of that is down to you guys!!
Everyone who came to the wedding commented on the fact that it was the best wedding they had ever been to - Beautiful location and professionally arranged.
Thankyou again to you all for being you!!
We hope to come back for our anniversary next year and will pop in and see you all.

Carys & Chris, August 09

Hello!!
 
Want to say a huge huge thank you to you all all, especially Deborah for helping out so much on the day - everyone said how good you were, and to Gwen for taking such fabulous photos - I will get round to choosing my top 20 soon!!!

It was like a fairtytale dream wedding (so much more than I ever imagined it would be) - Malcesine is such a beautiful place.  Everything ran so smoothly and the whole day was organised so well thanks to you.  Our huge number of guests (92!) also thoroughly enjoyed their day and holiday and none of us will ever forget it I'm sure. 
Diolch yn fawr x

Arleen & Stu, August 09

We got married in August 09 and when we started planning our wedding we joked that we wanted to get married on a castle with mountains and a lake backdrop, little did we know that this would become a reality all of which was made possible by LGW, we experienced the most amazing wedding day, none of which would have happened without Deborah our fantastic planner and awesome photographer Gwen. LGW truly are the best and if you want a wedding like no other then Malcesine Castle is the perfect setting. LGW got every detail of our day more than perfect and we can't thank them enough. We really do believe our guests when they say it's the best wedding they've ever been to!!!"  Take care and lots of love Arleen & Stuart

Dear Gwen & Debbie

Just a quick email to thank you so much for helping us organise the wedding at Lake Garda.  We couldn't have done it without your help.  It all went so smoothly with no problems and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day.  Debbie was absolutely brilliant and we can't thank her enough for all the help she gave us and making us all feel so relaxed knowing she had everything under control.

We will email you a couple of photos once we have them sorted.

Once again many thanks.

Kind regards
Roseanne Hardy (Kate's mum)

Katie & James, August 2009

Thank you so much for making our day so special, we were amazed how smoothly everything ran. Laura was so lovely and took all the stress out of the day for us! The pictures have turned out beautifully. The photographer we have doing our album in the UK was very worried as he normally only does albums he has shot himself. We took the images over to him this week and he loved them, you could see his shoulders drop with relief when he saw how lovely they were. So thanks Gwen for all the great shots and also making it fun, we enjoyed having all the pictures taken and our guests all commented on what a great job you did getting the group shots so quickly. I would most certainly recommend LGW to anyone wanting a location wedding; you are an extremely efficient and friendly company and made our day perfect! Hopefully we can get over for our anniversary next year and pop in to say hi!

Thanks again and best wishes for the future!

 

 

Fiona & Ray, August 09

Dear Laura and Gwen,

Ray and I were married at Malcesine at the end of August and thanks to you, our wedding day was perfect. Laura organised everything, right down to the last detail and guided us along the way, to make the day one we will never forget.

The castle, and of course the lake, made the location truly sensational. Not only that, but the weather was absolutely wonderful on the day.

Our evening reception at Al Corsaro was a breathtaking location and the eight course meal was delicious. Mario put real care into making it an amazing evening for us all. All of our guests commented on how they enjoyed the meal and on the idyllic setting on the lakeside.

When we arrived home and looked at Gwen’s photos on the CD, it brought the day back to life immediately. So many of the pictures captured lovely natural images of our guests, as well as beautiful shots of our families, especially our baby Nia and Ray’s girls. It has been really difficult to choose a selection of photos to print for our wedding album.

We can’t thank you enough for making our wedding so wonderful, organising everything very professionally and working so hard to ensure the day unfolded without a hitch.  We can’t wait to return to Malcesine in the future, so we will be sure to pop in and say ciao!

Thanks again and best wishes to you both,

Ray & Fiona

 

Diana & Jeffrey, July 09

Dear Gwen,

 

Thanks for the DVD with the last few pictures. We loved the pictures you edited. Thank you very much!!! If you ever get any Dutch customers, please give them my email address. We will convince anybody who will have doubts about having you as a wedding planner and photographer. You and of course Deborah made it possible to gave us the best wedding ever.

A few of our wedding guest went back to Malcesine to reminisce that fantastic day. I think you saw my parents this week. We are coming back in a few years and won’t forget you.

 

I can’t say it enough: many many thanks for everything! If you ever plan to come to Holland, please visit us.

 

Greetings,

Jeffrey and Diana

Hi Gwen ,
 
I dont know where to start !!! The dvd is fantastic. Photos have made our day Gwen what you do is amazing and i can only thank you from the bottom of our hearts , Thank you Gwen ,
 
See you in July 2010

Lily & Dan, August 09

To Andrea, Gwen and the LGW team.
 
Words cannot describe how grateful we are for everything you have done for us and ensuring our day was flawless from start to finish.
 
The whole day ran like clockwork and every small detail had been thought of.  Any small worries I had were gone once we had our welcome meeting and met the florist and hairdresser.  We, along with all our guests, were blown away by the level of service you provided, even down to one of you being with us to ensure there were no problems, not only throughout the day but well past the reception and into the evening.
 
The hairdresser and florist were fantastic and I would urge anyone worried about using someone new not to be.  The hairdresser is absolutely amazing (I wanted to bring her home!) she made sure all five of us who visited the salon on the morning of the wedding were completely happy and was only too pleased to change styles for us when we had little worries.
 
The needs of our guests were thought of and nobody can believe how fantastic the day was. Everyone keeps telling us its the best wedding they have ever been to!!
 
The photos taken by Gwen are incredible and we cant stop looking at them!
 
We would particularly like to thank Andrea who since our first visit to Malcesine in May, has been fantastic in answering all our questions and meeting our needs.  (Even down to changing the flowers one hour before the wedding because we had a change of heart!)  Andrea you have been fantastic and are a true credit to Gwen and the team, we are so grateful!
 
Thank you all again so much, it truly was the best day of our lives and would wouldn't change a thing!
 
Lots of love
 
Lilly and Dan

Kathleen & Peter August 09

Hi Gwen, Laura & Deborah,

Kathleen and I can't praise you enough for making our wedding in Malcesine on Wednesday 2nd September 2009, a day to remember for the rest of our lives!

From first contacting you and meeting with you in September 2008 to our wedding a year later in September 2009, you have excelled all the way and never more so than on the day of our wedding!

You ensured that we had marvellous weather on the day/week (not included in the terms of the contract but essential never-the-less) but more importantly, you ensured that the day went seamlessly, with lots of tears and laughter along the way. 

This started from the welcome meeting on the Monday of the wedding week, where you took us through legal formalities at Malcesine town hall, the Castle walk-round and rehearsal through to the wedding reception requirements at the Excelsior Bay hotel. 

On the day it self what can we say, from the good humoured translation by Laura, the excellent playing our of chosen wedding music by the musicians, the fantastic photography by Gwen, right through to the final escort through the town to our stunning wedding reception at the Excelsior Bay hotel where the food and service were out of this world, none of this could've been achieved if it were not for everyone at Lake Garda Weddings. Never at anytime was any request or query too small or large, always answered in a prompt, good humoured manner.

Our wedding day could not have been more perfect, as commented on, many, many times by all our guests. In fact, many have commented that it was the best wedding they have ever been to and this is all solely down to the professionalism of Gwen, Laura and Deborah.

We will never forget our Wedding day in the stunning location of Malcesine, Lake Garda and we look forward to returning to there on our Wedding anniversary to enjoy the beauty and splendour of Malcesine once again but more importantly to visit our friends at Lake Garda Weddings and share a drink and some fond memories with them.

All the best,

In love and Marriage,

Kathleen and Peter.

Claire & George, July 09

Hope your are all well in Malcesine and am sure Deborah is starting to look swell only a few more months to and your wee bambino will be here in time for his 1st Christmas J.

 

We just wanted to let you know that we received our Wedding DVD yesterday and managed to watch it twice last night when we got home from work J its really really brilliant so pleased at the time and effort that has been put into the video and the music just sets it off, thank you so much for capturing our day it is a good way of remembering everything especially the vows and my bubbling before I walk up the aisle hahahaha.

 

Ladies, we cannot thank you enough for all that you have done and we wish you and your business all the best for the future, we continue to promote your services and Malcesine as it is such a wonderful village with amazing people, wonderful food and beautiful scenery but you all ready know that J

 

Take care and keep intouch xxx

 

Ciao Ciao

Jo & james, August 09

Jo & I were married at Torri del Benaco on the 6th August 2009. We were looked after by Debbie. Our thanks to Debbie and the team at Lake Garda Weddings. We certainly could not have done it without your skill and attention to detail. On the day Debbie was amazing taking control of everything. This attention to detail ensured that the day went without a hitch. You helped us to create a day that we will remember forever.

Once again thank you so much.

Mr & Mrs Jo & James

Dena & Jason, August 09

Dear Gwen & Deborah,

 

I cannot believe a whole month has passed since our wedding day at Malcesine. 

 

If you remember we visited you July 08 to see how you would organise our wedding for us and from the moment we started to speak to you about what we wanted we certainly felt at ease knowing that you would arrange everything professionally.

 

When we had our pre-wedding meeting the Thursday before the big day, Deborah took us through exactly what would happen on the day, making it so much more easier to understand and we did not feel one bit uneasy about the organisation or the plan coming up for the big event.

 

There is everything in this beautiful town to bring your wedding together, florist, hairdresser, dry cleaners (for pressing the dress if need be) and choice of restaurants and hotels.

 

On the day of the wedding Gwen met my daughter and I at the hotel and because she was so at ease it made me feel so comfortable.  Deborah was with the groom and again the meeting up for the event at the top of the castle went so smoothly and the day was exactly how we wanted it and dreamt about.

 

We would most definitely recommend your company if there is anyone in the U.K. (or anywhere else in the World) that wishes to get married in Lake Garda for Lake Garda Weddings to organise the day for you, do not feel worried because they are professional, relaxed and know everything there is to know about wedding planning.

 

I hope that we can visit Malcesine on our anniversary, if not; we will certainly visit this town again to bring back memories of one of the happiest days of our lives.

 

Thank you Gwen & Deborah!

Nina & Mike, July 09

Dear Andrea, Gwen and the team.

We cannot thank yourselves and Sergio at La Pace enough for making our Wedding day so special. We had a fantastic day and I didn’t want it to end.

We loved the little tuk tuk that picked us up, my sister and brother in law brought us a toy model of it. It sits in our living room and it is a constant reminder of our Wedding day.

Gwen, the photographs are out of this world. I couldn’t stop grinning on the day; every time I look at them it brings tears to my eyes.

Thank you so very much for capturing our special day so beautifully.

With love

Nina & Mike

 

Ann & Andy, August 09

To All at Lake Garda Weddings,
 
Thank you so much for organsing our Wedding in Malcesine in August 2009. Everything from start to finish amounted to true excellence. The very finest detail and attended to. The Castle venue was stunning and Al Corsaro was a fantastic venue set out exactly as we requested, not to mention the food which was delicious. The wedding day was magical!!
 
We have shown out wedding photos to many people since we returned from our Honeymoon and lots of couples now want exactly the same wedding as we had. Before we went to Lake Garda we didnt know what to expect but it was beyond our wildest dreams and is truly one of the nicest parts of the world. Anyone thinking of getting married in Italy should definitly pick Malcesine and Lake Garda Weddings.
 
Thank you for making our day so special!!
 
Love, Ann and Andrew

 

Angela & Robert,  August 09

To all at lake garda weddings
We had the best time in taly. Malcesine was the perfect setting for our wedding and was a great place to celebrate with our friends and famiy.
I can not believe how lucky i was to find Lake Garda Weddings,you made planning my wedding so easy. There were no surprises when paying for there services, everything was as we had wanted and when we met with deborah to finalise all the arrangements every bit of stress was gone. We did not have to do anything other than turn up on the day. We were both so relaxed we really enjoyed our day and so did our friends and family.
Thank you lake garda weddings for a truly wonderful day and giving us some wonderful memories to start our married life with.
From Angela and Robert.

Katie and james xx

 

Carys & Chris, August 09

Dear Gwen and Deborah Thank you both so much for all you did for us all on the 17th to make Carys and Chris' day so special.  It was more than I'd ever imagined it would be and so magical.  When I started e-mailing you probably this time last year I couldn't imagine that things would go so well and that so many of our friends and family would make it to join with us in their special day.    The photos are amazing, we'll have a hard job to choose the special ones to print and frame.  I know Carys will find it difficult to choose as well.  She will be contacting you herself but I just wanted to express my thanks to you both for your hospitality and helpfulness in everything you did.  I know it's your job and you do it every day, but to make each one seem special is an art in itself.   Good luck Debbie when the time comes.  Who knows, we may be back in Malcesine for a holiday sometime.  I know we'd like to.   Love   Rhiain and David xx

 

Gemma & Phil, August 09

To all at Lake Garda Weddings,   We would like to say a massive thank you for organising our wedding day, we had the best day of our lives thanks to you.   Deborah, thank you so much for being so lovely and putting our minds at ease straight away, we could not have asked for a better wedding planner.   The day was amazing and exactly what we wanted, it exceeded all our expectations.   Thanks again.   Gemma and Phill

Emma & Lee, August 09

Hello Gwen,
We would like to thank everyone for making all of our dreams come true and giving us the fairytale wedding we always wanted. Both you and deborah were fantastic with us and all of our family, the food and service at both La Pace and Excelsior Bay were excellent and the pictures are amazing, we can not thankyou enough. Hope to see you again soon.
Emma & Lee

Louise & Roger, August 09

We would like to thank you to helping to make our wedding so special.  From the outset you provided a very professional service making the wedding planning a hassle-free experience. All the way through you gave us helpful suggestions without being pushy.  We felt that we got the best of both worlds by having the stunning venue but with a British touch such as a bouquet, transport and even a first dance.  When we arrived in Malcesine, our welcome meeting with Laura was friendly and informative and we came away feeling completely relaxed about the upcoming wedding. The ceremony itself was beautiful; Laura made the atmosphere very friendly and all of our wishes were accommodated.  The reception venue you organised was perfect and guests have said to us that it was the best meal they'd ever had.  Everyone we worked with went out of their way to make it the best day of our life; we wouldn't have changed a single thing about it. 
Louise and Roger

Anthony & Louise, August 09

We just want to thank you for making our wedding day so perfect. We couldn't have wished for a better day. Everything from the castle to the restaurant, the stunning views to the Tuk tuk were all fantastic!

The photos are brilliant, even if the rain did try its best to spoil them!! There are so many to choose from that we are struggling to pick our album! Our friends and family can't wait to see them all on your website. 

Everyone had a lovely day thanks to you Andrea, Gwen and Sergio and his team. Your organisation skills are second to none, especially organising our guests for the ceremony & photo's. You were all lovely and made our day so special. A day none of us will ever forget.

We will definately be visiting Malcesine again soon and hope to be able to come and see you.

Once again thank you so much for the best day of our lives.

Love Anthony & Louise

Terrence & Dianne, August 09

Just to let you know how pleased we were with our wedding day. After meeting Deborah at the pre-wedding meeting where she made Terry and I feel at ease we were confident that everything would be fine. On the day Deborah and the photographer did an excellent job making our special day extra special. Many thanks Dianne & Terry

 

Michelle & Stephen, May 09

Lake Garda Weddings made our day the most wonderful ever; their professionalism and attentiveness ensured every single person absorbed the romance and beauty of our special day.

Thank you Andrea & Gwen!!!

 

Emma & Ray, August 09

Hi Gwen, Deborah and all at LGW

Just after arriving back to the land of reality after what can only be described as a dream. Myself and Raymond never could have imagined our day to go as perfect as it did and this was all thanks to yourselves.
It was the first wedding abroad that both myself and Ray and all of our guests had ever been to and can honestly say it was one that nobody will ever forget. Our guests are still talking about and some might even consider it for themselves in the future. The day went absolutely perfect from start to finish and we can never thank you enough Deborah for that - you even got Ray to make a speech (priceless!). Gwen thank you so much for the fantastic photos - what a selection to choose from they are brilliant!!!

So from the happy couple back in Ireland we just want to say a huge thank you to you all for your great work in the lead up to and including the wedding day you were absolutely brilliant and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anybody. The work of Lake Garda Weddings in second to none and can only be discribed as perfection.

Thank you so much and we wish you the very best of luck with LGW in the future.

Many thanks,
Emma & Ray

 

Tracey & Mark, August 09

Its hard to believe its all over we had a look through the cd and are really happy with the photos they are all very natural.

Thankyou all so much for all your help in making the day run very smoothly for everyone it was great not having to worry about a thing on the day. Lake garda is a dream location for a wedding and everything was perfect we had a lot of comments from our guests they said it was the best wedding that they had ever been to so this made us feel we really did make the right choice I would do it all again 2m and just sad its all over but we have now to look foward to our many visits back to lakegarda were we will remember the 6th August 2009.

Thankyou Lakegarda team for the wonderful memories that Mark, Ethan and myself will share forever.

 

Rosalind & Mike, July 09

Mike and I just wanted to thank you and Lorenzo again for all your invaluable help in organising, coordinating and photographing our wedding.
The day was perfect, we really enjoyed ourselves.  Everything was just as we'd wanted it to be, and it couldn't have worked out so well without both of you.  I've read all those gushing reviews that people write on wedding websites, but I'm now less sceptical about them, as we could easily say the same kinds of things, the food was great, the locations beautiful and everyone we dealt with was so pleasant and helpful.  I would definitely recommend getting married abroad and engaging a wedding planner if they are as good as you have both been.  It was a real pleasure to meet you both, and special thanks again to Lorenzo for the photographs.   

Jo & Gaz, july 09

Hi Gwen, Laura and co 
We just wanted to thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect; we couldn't have asked for anything more!  Everything was organised perfectly, with no stress before or during the day.  It's still the big topic of conversation amongst all our guests - everyone had such an amazing time - and I think it is testament to yourselves and the wonderful location of Malcesine that two of our guests are now planning their weddings abroad (sadly though not in Malcesine!).  We will never forget the day - the scenery, weather, food, atmosphere (I could go on...!) were far beyond our dreams and expectations and we would highly recommend you and Lake Garda (particularly Malcesine!) to anyone planning on getting married.
 
Enjoy the rest of the summer!
Best wishes
Jo & Gaz

Nia & David, July 09

To everyone at Lake Garda Weddings,
 
 
    I just had to write to say a huge thank you to you all for arranging what turned out to be a fantastic wedding day that we will always remember. As a terrible worrier, I certainly appreciated the organisation that was in place from the onset to make sure that our day ran smoothly. During our stay, Laura was fantastic and instantly put us both at ease. Following the welcome meeting, I knew that we could trust her to ensure that everything would go according to plan and she did not let us down. I can honestly say that I couldn't find fault in anything - The location was fantastic, the weather was superb, the flowers, hairdresser, ceremony and reception exceeded all expectation. Thank you so much. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone.
 

Stuart & Gill, June 09

Absolutely fabulous wedding day! All arrangements handled superbly by Gwen and her team, especially our own arranger, Deborah. The day just flew by and we didn’t have anything to worry about as all was taken care of by Gwen and Deborah, in such a calm and professional manner. We felt like celebrities! You must have the Tuk Tuk for the cherry on top! All our guests were stunned by the location and will probably visit again on their own. Fantastic collection of photographs taken by Gwen, and some unusual poses which we enjoyed taking part in. A day of lasting memories which will be with us forever. We can’t thank everyone enough for making us feel so special …even if they have done it so many times before!

Alexa & Andreas, July 09

Hello!

 

Thank you very much for following up. We just can’t get down from our cloud yet. Imagine going from beautiful, warm, romantic and medieval Malcesine back to the rainy, humid, skyscrapers in NYC.

 

Thank you for making our wedding day such an incredible, unforgettable and stress-free experience! When we decided that we wanted to get married at Lake Garda, we had no idea how to pull it off. We looked at a number of planners around Lake Garda but Lakegardaweddings just stood out in so many ways. You were by far the most responsive, detail-oriented and friendliest of all and you also had a competitive price. You made us feel comfortable immediately.  Once we arrived in Malcesine for the first time, we realized how lucky we were to have picked Lakegardaweddings as our planners and such a beautiful venue in the castle. Even the Registrar could not help but complimenting your professionalism after our ceremony.

 

Maybe our wedding was the most international one but we would not have been able to get the right documents in a thousand years without your help. Also, our guests are still amazed that our wedding planners were able to assist them in four different languages! Merci, vielen Dank, gracias and thank you!

 

We truly appreciate you listening to our various (sometimes complicated) requirements and translating them into the great ideas that ultimately made our big day so unforgettable. From the boat ride, to the log sawing tradition, to the tiered-cake with roses and all the other small details that personalized our wedding: grazie!

 

To you Andrea, thank you soooo much for making our wedding weekend so easy and extremely stress-free for us. You did all the worrying for us so we were able to enjoy our special day! Thank you for making yourself available and taking care of the last minute changes of my bridesmaids

 

Gwen, thank you for being our photographer. All the pictures are just amazing, the colors are great and it is really hard to pick the best ones to print. During the wedding you were almost “invisible” and so we have lots of great candid snapshots of us and our guests. We still joke about “come along… stop kissing” when we stroll around the city here.

 

Please make sure to extend our thank you to all the suppliers: the hairdresser, the makeup artist, the florist, the captain of the boat (not my baby sister!!) and his crew, the violinist, Christian and Marcelo from the Excelsior Bay (excellent food and fabulous service), the owner of La Pace aka “Tuk Tuk chauffeur” (the lakeside reception was outstanding and the canapés were yummy!)! They all did a wonderful job and were unbelievably helpful and friendly!

 

Gwen, you and your team are awesome! Looking forward to meeting up in NYC!

 

XOXOXOXOXO to all of you!

 

Alexa & Andreas

 

Paula & Andy, June 09

Dear Gwen, Laura, Andrea and the team at Lake Garda Weddings,

Well what can we possibly say...words cannot describe what a fantastic wedding day we had on 8th June. But if we did have to choose 3 words to sum everything up, they would be: Exceptional, Fairytale, Perfect.

Every part of the day was meticulously planned, so even for a control- freak like me, there really was nothing to worry about! Everything ran like clockwork. Right from the moment we booked with you, your service, friendliness and helpfulness has been second to none. And throughout the whole day yourself and Laura could not have been more lovely, you both felt like part of our family on the day and we can't stress enough how fantastic the day was, and it was all down to your hard work. It sounds cheesy, but it was the best day of our lives, so much so that we really didn't want it to end (I've been dreaming of the day ever since!).

Laura, nothing was too much trouble for you, and even when some of our guests went 'awol' (in search of ice-cream I believe!) you were still
smiling whilst co-ordinating everyone back into the group. Not once
did I feel stressed. I spent the whole day smiling and laughing, absolutely how your wedding day should be spent. The whole day was soooo relaxing, the ceremony was very romantic and relaxed too (you were right to recommend the violinist and keyboard Gwen, they were awesome). Everyone is still talking about the wedding and how it was the best one they've ever been to...especially the champagne toast by the lakeside...my goodness, there was so much food.. My new husband, Andy, was bowled over because when we arrived at the lakeside by Tuk Tuk he spotted that there was a whole side of Parma ham with parmesan cheese too...fantastic!). I could go on and on raving about everything so I'll stop myself before I get writer's cramp! To conclude, we had really high hopes for our special day and you exceeded them by ten-fold. So thank you so much to all of you, you are amazing! We'll be back to Malcesine as soon as we can, and of course we'll pop in to see how you're doing.

Love & best wishes

Paula & Andy

Shell & Pete, May 09

Hi Gwen

 

Apologies for this email being so long overdue, we’ve arrived back home after the most fabulous memories of our Wedding day and honeymoon and settling down to married life.

 

We wanted to write and say how much we  enjoyed every moment of planning our wedding with you. During this time nothing was ever too much trouble and you were always so quick and efficient at replying to our emails. Pete and I were so pleased when we first heard back from you following our bad experience with our previous wedding company.

 

To Laura:

On the Wedding day you were so kind and patient and we were reassured that you were with us throughout the day to ensure everything ran smoothly. You translated our wedding for us beautifully and all our guests spoke so highly of  you. Thank you so much for all your hard work and support.

 

To Gwen:

It’s hard to describe the words and thank you seems so little for everything that you helped us to achieve on our special day. Our photos are fabulous, too many to chose from and thank you for taking the time to get them ready for us before we left. Pete and I have no hesitation in recommending Lake Garda Weddings to anyone in the future, we are so pleased that you and Laura were able to be part of our day and we will never forget your kindness, hard work and support.

 

We are already planning our next return  to Malcesine so we will call in and see you all . Finally last but by no means least please pass on our thanks and best wishes to Sergio for a superb pre-wedding supper at La Pace and our unforgettable ride in the tuc tuc and also to Mario at Al Corsaro our meal and his hospitality were fabulous and it was the perfect way to end our day.

 

Thank you once again

 

Kind Regards and best wishes for the future to you all

 

Shell & Pete

 

 

 

Lucy & Jon, July 09

The thought of getting married can be a frightening organisational nightmare for some people...so the thought of getting married abroad just seems like a completely outrageous idea!! In fact when we initially told our families that that is what we wanted to do it would be fair to say that they were more than a little sceptical.

However we had two aces up our sleeves.

• We had been to Lake Garda and had seen the amazing locations that you can choose from to get married at.
• We had discovered the amazing ladies at Lake Garda Weddings!!

We visited the area the year before we were due to tie the knot fell in love with the area and in particular Malcesine. In fact i challenge anyone to visit and not be bowled over with the beauty of the area and the friendliness of the local people. Gwen and the girls at Lake Garda Weddings can take you to see all the locations and talk you through all the options you have and everything that is involved in the organisation of your wedding day.

The genius part of using Lake Garda Weddings is that they will do all of the organisation for you, using their trusted and amazing local suppliers, such as the florist who is an artist with her flowers, and Sergio, who is mad as a box of frogs, but will sort out your champagne toast and yummy food. This means that there is no problem with language barriers, which is one of the things the doubters will tell you will be a problem!

All you have to do is decide on a few simple things like whether to have a string quartet etc (which we did and they were brilliant). We have friends getting married this year in England and they are so stressed trying to sort everything out. Organising our amazing day was one of the easiest things we have ever done, thanks to Gwen, Deborah and everyone involved with Lake Garda Weddings.

To be honest my (now) wife is a bit of a control freak, but she was completely relaxed and able to enjoy her wedding day without having to worry about anything (apart from drinking champagne) as the day itself was organised with military precision. Deborah was on hand all day and did a brilliant job of ensuring that everything ran super smoothly, everyone knew what was happening and that all our guests had an absolutely fantastic time. I cannot praise her highly enough and if the birth of her first bambino is organised by Gwen and her it will be out in 30seconds flat!!

The other advantage of Lake Garda Weddings is Gwen. She runs the business, is English, and is an amazing photographer. She kept everyone in check on the day so the organisation of all the photos ran like clockwork and with a minimum of fuss...the outcome of which you can see for yourself. Check out how happy we look on our photos!! This is not just down to the location, but it is testament to just how relaxed we were thanks to LGW!!

Just in case you are in any doubt, imagine this....Walking down the beautiful, rustic, cobbled streets of Malcesine in your wedding gear being clapped, cheered and congratulated by the locals...even at 1am when you are walking back from your reception!! Brilliant!!

We have no words to properly express our gratitude and appreciation for everything that LGW did for us to make our wedding day so amazing. People always say it was the best day of their life and you think yeah yeah, whatever. But i have to tell you it truly was!!

If you are thinking about using LGW and getting married in Italy...STOP...don’t think about it...DO IT!!

Thankyou!!!!

We just wanted say a BIG thank you for all your help & support with
organising our wedding day. You were fantastic on the run up to the big day, very efficient, super organised and so calm & relaxed (exactly what I wanted from our wedding planner!) You also went the extra mile to help with transport, presents & helping us to make important decisions.
We had an amazing day and we know you were instrumental in making the day so special.
We also to want to thank Lorenzo for his hard work & dedication to get the best photos for us to remember our day. He was very patient with us, & made the whole experience fun. He was also a great announcer to the wedding
party. He also went the extra mile to sort out the DJ, organise the
limoncello, and set up the dance floor. You both make a great team.

Thanks again!!

Claire & George, June 09

Lake Garda Weddings has been an absolute joy to work with, everyone in the team is amazing their commitment, patience, attention to detail and personal involvement throughout our wedding plans was outstanding, even after the wedding they are still happy to help with other enquiries.  It is such as lovely feeling knowing that we could rely and trust all the staff from the caterers at La Pace and Excelsior Bay, to the florist who worked magically and as for the amazing hairdressers who were there are 7.30am to start the preparations and then assist later on in the morning by fixing fascinators on for the ladies really above and beyond the call of duty and great value for your Euro, but especially a huge thank you goes out to Deborah for showing us where everything was,  going through all the legal info at the Town Hall and then assisting all our family and friends throughout our Special Day.  Gwen you were fabulous at helping us to relax and enjoy getting our photos taken and especially when you caught me out with the facial exercises J……We would also like to say a huge thank you to our Registrar, he was such a lovely, caring, sincere gentleman who really did make our ceremony very personal and intimate, we wish we could have put him in our suitcase and brought him home with us, he feels like a member of our family now.  Oh and a special thanks to the Musicians we are so very pleased that they played all our song choices and we were delighted when the played Be My Baby by The Ronettes as we didn’t think they had the music for this one, so that was a real surprise, we would highly recommend when the bride and groom are picking music they go for Violin and Keyboard and take the time to pick the music you want to here as they boys did a fantastic job.

 

So to summarise for anyone who is thinking about using Lake Garda Weddings as you will see from above we had a fabulous time and would do it all over again in a second.  The professionalism along with the personal interaction with the bride and groom, family and friends is unbeatable, all questions and requests are dealt with immediately, the organisational skills are superb and the involvement with the caterers, hoteliers, hairdressers, florist and musicians works brilliantly everyone at Lake Garda Weddings works as a fabulous team something which they should all be proud of and not to mention they work in a beautifully, charismatic location Malcesine.  Malcesine has everything to offer , you will be stunned by its beauty, its friendly community, gorgeous wine and food and as for the accommodation throughout the village we would highly recommend Hotel Excelsior Bay, Casa Barca, La Perla Apartments, Hotel Augusta, Prima Luna, Prima Rosa and Majestic Palace all of these places we and our family stayed within.  Do not have any doubts about getting married in Italy go do it and use Lake Garda Weddings to make it all happen.

 

Lots of Love

Claire & George…………so excited that we got married in Malcesine Castle, Lake Garda.

 

 

Karen & George, June 09

  We would really like to thank you, Debroah,Andrea and Gwen for all your hard work in planning our wedding. We had a fantastic day and our guests had a brilliant time too. We had no complaints from any family members which is a miracle in itself because they really enjoy complaining.   Please thank all of the suppliers on our behalf, they were all very helpful and obliging and we would definately recommend all of them to any bride and groom to be.   Finally we would like to give additional thanks to Gwen for being such a patient photographer and delivering exactly what we asked for, the photos are absolutely amazing (we've never looked so good).   It was a pleasure meeting all of you and i wish Lake Garda Weddings all the best for the future. George said he will have all his future weddings there!!!   Karen & George

Claudia & Mike, June 09

Hi Andrea, Gwen and all the girls at the Lake Garda Weddings office
We just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your hard work in organising what was for us the best day of our lives. From when we first came out and met you in May 2008 until our wedding you have made the whole process so easy for us.  From choosing the venue to the entertainment and getting all of our legal documents sorted every single aspect has been made really stress free and very enjoyable! The actual wedding day was a dream and couldn't of gone any better a lot of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Everyone was so helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Andrea thank you so much for running through everything with us and being there on the day it was great to have you around keeping an eye on everything and making sure we were running to schedule!  A special thank you goes to Gwen too for really capturing our day so perfectly with her wonderful photos, they really are fantastic. Sergio at la Pace (where we had our champagne toast) was great, a real character and so friendly - the location was perfect for our toast and we loved traveling in the tuk tuk- what fun!!  The wedding meal at Al Corsaro was really a massive highlight of the day, Mario and all of the staff were superb and couldnt do enough for us, everyone commented on how wonderful the food and location was it was perfect as were the band mg project - everyone was dancing long into the night to their great tunes. All in all it really was more than we could ever of hoped for and we couldn't of dreamed of it going so well, thank you again for all of your hard work and professionalism, we'd recommend you to anyone
thank you so much 
big hugs   Claudia and Mike

Lucy & Jaimie, May 09

Hello!!

Thank you so much for making our wedding day the most wonderful day to remember forever! We had such an amazing time and all of our guests were so impressed! Lake Garda Weddings is a fantastic company, so professional, so organised, so friendly and I have recommended you to all my friends! You all made everything so stress free and enjoyable! I was a little worried about arranging a wedding so far away but I think it was far easier than if I had arranged it in England!! Every little detail was taken care of and we felt totally re assured the whole time!

It was so lovey to have the meeting when we arrived and see where everything was going to take place.  It all ran so smoothly and was the best day of our lives!

Jamie's mum has always wanted to go to Italy but was too scared to fly so she conquered her fears to fly out for the wedding and loved it so much she has just got back from another week away in Malcesine!!

My mum and dad would love to go back and so would my sister, her husband and us obviously so we might be planning a big family trip next May! So we will definitely pop in and see you all!

The photos are just fabulous! I'm so glad we have got a cd with them all on otherwise we would never have been able to choose our 40 prints!! It has been lovely to be able to give everyone the web site address and they can go on and see the pictures, all have commented on what lovely pictures they are and so unusual and not formal and boring!! Thanks Gwen you are a star!

Deborah you really made us feel at ease and it was so lovely to just have you at the end of the phone to help us with the last minute extra vegetarian meals!! Also it was so lovely of you to help us arrange such a big night out for my birthday, it just made it all the more special!

One of my favourite bits was the Tuk Tuk! I just loved it! It was really quite something when everyone was cheering and clapping and we came along all the beautiful cobbled streets in the Tuk Tuk once we were married. Everyone is just so friendly and happy.

 

Once again thank you all so much for everything and we will be sure to pop in in the future!

Lots of Love

Lucy & Jaimie

Laura thanks for all your organising on the day, you put all of us at ease and thanks to Gwen for the amazing photos. Malcesine is such a beautiful place and we would recommend getting married there to anyone. The castle is such a pretty location and the food at Restaurant Alcorsaro was amazing and dancing by the lake side was a fab way to end the night. All of our guests had a brilliant time and we were all gutted to leave, we'd all love to do it all again!   Thank you so much, we will definitely be back to visit in the near future   Joanne and Matthew

Stephane & Christian, July 09

I just want to add my thanks for the big part your team played in making Stephanie and Christian's wedding such a fabulous event. The whole experience was truly memorable and unforgettable and there wasn't anything that could be faulted. Everyone who took part will always remember such a magical day. Message from Father of the Bride

Amanda & David, May 09

We had our wedding at Malcesine Castle in Lake Garda. We had never been to Malcesine or Lake Garda before so were very nervous about what to expect.  However, meeting Deborah and Gwen the day after we arrived put our nerves at ease.  They  were professional, organised and went out of their way to make our day everything we wanted it to be.  They made our day fantastic and it was so much better than we ever imagined it would be.  We had 35 guests and had a boat trip organised after the ceremony and photos.  We had our reception at Hotel Excelsior Bay and it was perfect.  All our guests commented on how good the food was and also how amazing the location was, to be sitting right in front of the beautiful lake.  We would definitely recommend Lake Garda Weddings to anyone thinking of getting married in Lake Garda.  There isn't anything negative to say about the experience. 

Hope you are well!

Kind regards,

Amanda

 

Jayne & Lincoln, June 09

 
To Laura, Gwen & Lake Garda Weddings,
 
Thank you so much!! To Laura for making the whole day such fun and stress free, everything was organised to perfection! To Gwen for the fabulous photos, they are amazing!  We cannot find the words to describe how wonderful the day was, we're contemplating getting divorced so that we can to it all again!  Huge thanks to all at the hairdressers, beauty salon and florist, they are top class!!  Our wedding reception at Re Lear was unbelievable, the food was unsurpassable, I think we must have sampled the whole menu! Andrea was the most magnificent host! Thanks also to Sergio from Le Pace for looking after us so well, from the champagne and roses sent to the hairdressers, the fabulous meal the night before the big day, the champagne toast after the ceremony, to arranging the surprise wedding cake and champagne the night after, it was beautiful.  We cannot wait to come back to magical Malcesine for our first anniversary!
 
Look forward to seeing you next year, love and very best wishes,
 
Jayne & Lincoln

 

Sarah & Rob, June 09

We have just returned from our wedding in Lake Garda at Malcesine castle. We would like to thank Deborah and Gwen for making our day so special. The day ran like clockwork thanks to Deborah whose organisation and professionalism was second to none. We have fantastic photos taken by Gwen and many fantastic memories which we will treasure forever. The Castle is a stunning setting for a wedding and the meal and reception we had at the Excelsior Bay Hotel was truely amazing. The food is excellent and the setting in front of the lake is beautiful. I would highly reccommend Lakegarda weddings to anyone wanting to marry in Lakegarda. From the first e-mails with Gwen to meeting Deborah and Gwen in resort they proved to us what a proffesional company they are and in my opinion the best. We can not thank them enough for the best day of our lives in beautiful Malcesine.

John & Sue, June 09

Dear Andrea & Gwen,   We would both like to say a big thank you to all of you at Lake Garda weddings. Our wedding day was even better than we had ever imagined and so professionally organised, you really had thought of everything, but still making the whole day very personal to us and our guests.   In fact we enjoyed it so much we wanted to do it all over again the next day.   The photographs are fantastic and you certainly captured the fun and relaxed atmosphere. It would be hard for anyone to find a more romantic setting and showing our wedding photos to our friends and work colleagues has even made some of our married friends want to get married again but at Malcesine castle.   Please pass on our thanks to Roberto who held the service with such warmth, it made the day even more special for us.  Please also thank 'La Pace' for our reception meal, the food was fantastic as was the service from all the staff there, they even bought me a jug of water to put the bouquet in.   Very special thanks to Andrea for all the organising and taking special care of 'la nonna', it really was appreciated.   We had so much fun, we've already decided to go back to Malcesine for our anniversary next year, and we will certainly pop in to say hello.   Please feel free to include any of our comments on your web site as we are more than happy to recommend your services to anyone.   Thanks again for making our wedding so special.   Very best wishes   John and Sue

 

Hanna & Lee , June 09

Dear Laura, Gwen and All the Team at Lake Garda Weddings.   We would like to say a huge "Thank you" to you all especially Laura for making our special day truly magical.  We could not have asked for a better service from you.  From day one, when we first enquired about the wedding, we have had nothing but a professional service from you, with clear and precise information.    The day was amazing, the venue was amazing, the violinist was out of this world and meal at "La Pace" was amazing!  We could say no more, the day was just as I pictured it in my head and everything came together like a dream.   It was an emotional day for me and Josh both for happy feelings and missing loved ones, you helped us overcome those sad emotions with nothing but joy.  Especially with the pronunciation of Joshua!!! :-)   We wish to thank you all again for all your help and excellent organisational skills, I would definitively recommend your services and you are truly special.   We will see you next year as we will be returning for a family holiday to celebrate our first anniversary and will surely pop in and say "Hi".   Thanks again.   Lots of Love

Sarah & Richard, June 09

Thank you both so much for a perfect wedding day. Our Malcesine wedding is all anyone can talk about! All our guests loved it and our special thanks to Laura for such a beautiful service, I have been told that there was not a dry eye in the house. We honestly could not have done this without you, the whole day was impeccably organised and ran so smoothly we felt like celebrities! Rich & I could not have wished for a better day.   Gwen - the photos on the website look fantastic and we can't wait to see the rest of them, you have captured just how magical the whole day was.   We would appreciate if you also passed on our thanks to everyone else who made our wedding day so special. The musicians at the castle - the music was lovely and added beautifully to the service, Sergio and the staff at La Pace for a great champagne toast, we couldn't believe how much food kept on coming out!, Mario and the staff at Al Coraso, the meal, the service and the location were all out of this world, we loved everything about the reception and everyone there had such a fantastic time, no-one wanted it to end and the thunder & lightening storm at the night just added to all the excitement! Lastly please pass on a thank you to the band who were absolutely brilliant they got everyone up dancing and hardly stopped for the whole night!   We are so sad that it's all over but we count our lucky stars that we picked you to organise our wedding and are grateful that we have such wonderful memories of our special day.   We're coming back next year for our anniversary so we may pop in and see you!   Love,   Richard & Sarah

Louise & Dave, May 09

Dear Gwen, Laura and the rest of LGW girls,
 
Dave and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for organising our wedding in Malcesine.  You have the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness, putting us and all of our guests at ease.  Everyone who was there has been talking about how amazing the wedding was, and we had a slide-show of the photos you took at our reception, and all 200 people commented on how unique and stunning they were (the photos, not us! haha) especially Dave's bum! 
 
I cannot recommend you enough to anyone who wants the fairytale wedding, perfect setting, yummiest food ever, most laid-back people, beautiful weather....the list goes on! And for me, it was fantastic to fill in a few spreadsheets and save up the money, knowing that you and the girls were organising everything for us.
 
 
Can you thank Laura again for all her help, she was an absolute sweetheart, and her Scottish pronunciations were spot on.  She's welcome in Fife anytime!
 
Best wishes and big hugs,
 
Louise and Dave xx

Mark and Cheryl  June 09

Dearest Laura and Gwen,

My husband and I (tee hee) would like to take this opportunity to thank you so very much for everything you have done for us. Thank you Gwen for enduring the years worth (and the rest) of emails i sent you!!! Everything on the day was perfect and that was down to the suggestions made by you and your expert team. 

Could you also pass on our thanks to Sergio and the wonderful staff at La Pace. Our Pre-wedding dinner was fantastic, the wedding cake you made for us such a surprise and the champagne toast you put on for us the day of the wedding was perfect. You made us feel so welcome and we both really appreciated this personal touch you have which obviously comes so naturally to you. 

Also to Mario and the team at  Al Corsaro.  Your venue is spectacular and the wedding meal was outstanding. Easily the best meal we have had, and this thought has been echoed by all of our wedding guests. A perfect venue for children too who also said they loved it and thought it very funny when Mario came to play with them!!

To Laura, we really appreciate all of the finishing touches you gave to our wedding, for translating and being with us, and making sure everything ran smoothly on our big day. Whenever we think back on our time in Malcesine our memories will always include you and I'm so glad that they will. x

Malcesine is one of the most beautiful place we have visited and we wouldn't think twice about recommending your services to anyone looking to get married abroad.

Much love and best wishes to you all

Mark and Cheryl

Stephanie & Simon May 09

Hello there,
 
Yes we are both very well thank you hope you are all well too.  Sophie's pleased you liked her drawing and is grinning from ear to ear knowing that you have hung it on your wall.
  
What can I say? We all had a fabulous time in Malcesine and Lake Garda Weddings were brilliant from start to finish and a special thank you to Deborah for all the help she gave us during our day.  Our guests really enjoyed every minute and have said that it was the best wedding they had ever been to and will always cherish the lovely memories of that wonderful day as we will too.  We would have no hesitation in recommending Lake Garda Weddings to any future couples who wish to marry in Italy.
 
Once again thank you all at Lake Garda and yes we may just pop in and see you!!
 

Take Care.
 
Stephanie, Simon, Sophie and Adam xx

 

Becky & Mark, June 09
 
From the both of us, we would just like to thank you for what can only be described as the 'Perfect' day. From the morning with Becky in the 'Tuk Tuk' all the locals coming out of their shops to wish her well, to the wonderful string quartet playing at the wedding service as we were in the castle overlooking the lake, the champagne toast by the lake at La Pace. And to come back in the early evening to the beautiful lake at Al Corsaro, where they allowed us to eat and drink at our own pace. All our guests commented on the delicious food we were served.  Not once throughout the day were we made to feel hurried or 'on a schedule'.  Gwen, the pictures you took in our amazing location were wonderful, not forgetting our daughter bringing a tear to the eye of our registrar as she surprised us by reading in Italian.
The whole day went incredibly smoothly and we had not a thing to worry about, but just to enjoy our day.
So many thanks to Gwen and Andrea for making our day so special.
 
Becky and Mark

Kate & Scott,June 09

Sarah & Chris, June 09

Dear Gwen and Deborah

We just wanted to say Thank you so much for our beautiful wedding on 5 June 2009 in Malcesine
The day was the most amazing day, full of happiness, laughter, tears of joy and memories that we will cherish for ever.
Everything was so well organised thanks to you both.
The weather during the ceremony was perfect and the storm after the ceremony made the evening really special.
I must also comment on the excellent food at the Excelsior Bay Hotel. Their kind service and attention to detail was brilliant. All our guests enjoyed every single course. The wedding cake was also very special.

Thank you to Deborah for making us feel at ease from the moment we met you. You were brilliant, I hope I didn't send too many texts!! Good luck with the arrival of your baby later in the year.

Gwen your photos are excellent all 582 of them!! Thank you, the hardest part is now deciding which ones to put into our album.

Thank you again to you both, you are a great team.
With all our love

Caroline & Chris (June 2009)

Hi Gwen, Laura & everyone at Lakegardaweddings,  

We are home following our fantastic wedding in Malcesine!  We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you all!  We had a magical day which couldn't have been possible without all of you!  From the first contact last year you put our minds at rest and we knew we would have the perfect wedding, but to be honest, the day itself far exceeded our expectations!    The ceremony was perfect (thanks Laura), the reception/food/location was more than we could have imagined, due to your expertise and advice!  We LOVE the photo's (thanks Gwen), and the organization was out of this world.  Any worry we had was a waste of time as the day itself was honestly the best day of our lives.  Everyone who came said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.  Our guests couldn't praise the venue, ceremony or reception enough.    The friendliness and professionalism that you deliver are more than anyone would expect and I cannot stress how much it was more than we expected. The whole day couldn't have gone any better.  We will have the memories forever and it is you that we have to thank for that!!!   Hope to see you soon,  

Hayley & Sean, Gardone 09

Hello
 
We have got back to Viadana and had a look through all (435!!) photos. We could not be happier, Lorenzo you understood exactly what we (or I, Hayley!!!) wanted and went over and above my greatest expectations. There are so many stunning photos, encapsulating all the parts of Gardone Riviera that we love the most. These photos will be an absolute treasure for Sean and I, and our families always.
 
Thank you again, and all the best
Sean and Hayley

Sam & Mike, May 09

From the very first e-mail through to picking up our photos the day before we left Malcesine Lake Garda provided a truly professional service.  Years of experience allied with a close relationship with local traders meant that every aspect of our day was exactly as we had imagined which can be a worry when planning your wedding from afar.    From the moment you arrive any fears or worries you may have soon fade away as you are not only given a guided tour of the town to show you exactly where your big day will be taking place but you get to meet all the service providers from who will be helping throughout the day so you will immediately be put at ease not only giving you the confidence that your big day will be as magical as you dreamt but also to allowing you to relax and enjoy the days preceding the wedding day.    Do not worry if you did not have time to nip down to WHSmiths to grab your English to Italian phrasebook your wedding coordinator will accompany you to the Town Hall to ensure that all the vital legal documentation required for the wedding is duly completed.   Also throughout the planning of your wedding Lake Garda Weddings will do everything they can to accommodate any request large or small meaning you can tailor your day exactly as you want.    Finally, as well as being utterly efficient and professional all the members of Lake Garda weddings are extremely friendly helping to ease any frayed nerves and even in the days following the wedding you will be greeted with a smile or wave should you bump into one of the team during the rest of your holiday."   We had the most magical day it couldn't have been anymore perfect, we will never ever forget it, and hope to return one day to the most beautiful place on Lake Garda.  We would highly recommend Lake Garda Weddings and  to think we found them on the internet, it was perfect from start to finish.   Magical!   Samantha and Michael xx

Sarah & Tom, May 09

Hi Gwen,
Now we are back from our honeymoon I just wanted to write to you all to say a big thankyou for all you did in organising our wedding on 29th May! Myself and Tom had such a fantastic day, we just didn't want it to end!  Thanks for the fantastic pictures which are just what we wanted. You made it all so easy for us to have the relaxed wedding we wanted in the most amazing setting possible. All of our family and friends had an amazing time and have not stopped talking about it!
Big thanks to Andrea who put us both at ease on the tuesday before, in showing us round and making sure we had everything organised before the big day.
Massive thanks to Laura who was fantastic in being there for us on our wedding day, she made us feel totally at ease and definately made it such a stress free day for me!
We will definately be returning to Malcesine in the near future for another holiday!
Much thanks,

Sarah & Rob, June 09

Dear Lake Garda Weddings

We would like to thank you for making our day so special. We both had the most amazing day that we will remember for the rest of our lives.
All our guests commented on how smoothly the day ran and how professional you both were. We would recommend you to any of our friends who wanted to do the same. Once again from us and all of our geusts we would like to give you a big thank you.

Lisa & Paul, June 09

Dear Lake Garda Weddings
Just a quick note to say a big thank you to Andrea, Gwen and the team at Lake Garda Weddings who made our wedding day in June 2009 something to remember.  Both Gwen and Andrea were punctual and efficient and both Paul and myself felt that we were in capable hands throughout.  All of our guests remarked on how 'this was the best wedding they had ever been too' and 'how did you manage to find such a beautiful location'.  It was all thanks to coming across this website, looking at other couples photographs, and instinctively knowing that this would be a truly amazing place to get married.  So a big thank you to Gwen, Andrea and the team, they truly do work hard to make sure that each couple get the most out of their special day.

Collette & Dean, June 09

Dear Lake Garda Weddings

Just a note to say thank you so much for all your help in organising such a wonderful memorable day for us!  We thought the venue and Luigi's restaurant was just so perfect.  I know that my uncle John is planning a few jazz afternoon's there in the very near future with friends!

 

Dean and I absolutely loved Lake Garda and Lonato was the perfect venue for our wedding.  We were very popular walking through the streets in Sirmione before and after the Restaurant in the evening also!  The Salla Lettura was just beautiful and so perfect for our ceremony, it felt tailor-made for us.

Thanks again

 

 

Jo & Dave, June 09

Dear Lake Garda Weddings

 

Martin and myself wanted to express our thanks to you for the terrific job you did on the day of our wedding (3rd June 2009).  The whole day went very smoothly and I think this was all down to you.  The level of professionalism, thoughtfulness, efficiency and humour shown throughout the day ensured the wedding went without a hitch and was thoroughly enjoyed by ourselves and guests.

 

Once again, a very big thank you for everything that you did.

 

Kind regards,

 

 

Alison & Ian, May 09

Dear Lake Garda Weddings
Thank you so much for arranging our wedding in Torri. We had the most fantastic day and couldn't have asked for it to be any better. Everything from the ceremony to the flowers to the boat trip was perfect. Even though the weather was not brilliant for the boat trip, everyone seemed really happy. The violinist added an extra special touch to the ceremony and he played beautifully. All of our guests have said how nice you were and have given us nothing but good feedback about the whole day.
We were especially pleased with the photographer Mauri and felt you worked really well together. Together you made it fun in a relaxed environment and we got some really stunning pictures out of it. Both you and Mauri made us both as relaxed as possible and helped us and our family to really enjoy our special day.

Please can you pass on our thanks to all your team, especially Laura, who has to be the sweetest person we have ever met.  She was perfect on the day and so helpful and always with a huge smile on her face.  Finally, but by no means the least, thank you so much for everything you have done.  I really cannot thank you enough for saving my life after I promised Becki I would sort everything out, and you did!  Nothing was too much trouble and I have been singing your praises since the day we returned! I will always be grateful to you for giving Becki and Adam the best day of their lives. It far exceeded any expectations we all had. Thank you so much.

Sarah & Matthew May 09

To all at Lake Garda Weddings,   We both want to thank you so much for making our wedding the day that we had always dreamed of!   From the 1st e-mail to you, to the last we were offered support that made us feel relaxed that our wedding plans were moving along as they should and were made to feel like ours was the only wedding that you were planning. Our on the day planner Deborah made our day so special and run without hitch, making us feel like everything was taken care of. I must say that the tuk tuk ride was one of the most memorable moments and the look on my dads face was priceless-I think he thought we were going in a pick up truck!   I would like to personally thank Gwen for your un-limited support and for the fabulous pictures, we had so much fun with you and the results are amazing and something that we will treasure always.   I'm glad that you now offer the chance to contact other brides who were getting married in the castle to chat to eachother on the facebook page which I think is brilliant and a fatastic idea.   I was so pleased that I got to see the wedding of Joanne who I had met on a wedding forum and hope that we will meet up to discuss our weddings in the near future as she only lives an hour away from me.   We were all so impressed with la Pace and were made to feel very special there- we will be writing to Sergio personally and thought that the roses that he sent me on the morning of the wedding were such a lovely thought! The food was exceptional and the standard and quality would have been very difficult to find in a restaurant in England for our wedding.   Thank you once again, your service is exceptional- you made all our dreams come true!! Hope that your business continues to be an amazing success and that you make many more couples as happy as you made us.   We will be calling in on our return to Malcesine as soon as we can, it is like a second home to us!   Love and best wishes   Sarah and Matthew x

Carrie & Gareth, May 09

Hi We just wanted to write and thank you so much for making our wedding day so perfect.  It was fantastic from start to finish and truly was the most amazing day of our lives! Laura & Gwen your help and support over the last year on our pre-wedding visits and in emails were faultless and you always made us feel like we were your only clients (even though we knew how busy you were!)  On our wedding day itself everything was organised so perfectly that neither of us worried about a thing all day; we were just able to relax, take everything in and enjoy the day with our friends and family. For this we are so grateful to you both and can't thank you enough! We fell in love with Malcesine from our first visit last year so I know we'll see you again as we can't wait to go back already! Once again thank you so much! Love & Best Wishes from Carrie & Gareth xxx

 

Sarah & Tom, May 09

Hi Gwen,

Derek and I got back last night after a lovely second week in Italy - it was a holiday of contrasts, with the wedding being the highlight, then revisiting Trento and old friends in Montebondone, followed by two lovely days in Verona.

We just wanted to say a huge thankyou to you and to Laura - you were both fantastic, both on the day and in the all-important preparations leading up to it. How you deal with the mountain of legalities and paperwork I'll never know! Sarah and Tom fly back today from their honeymoon - apparently it was wonderful in Tuscany - and I am sure you will be hearing from them too. It was certainly a memorable occasion for us all - we were so lucky with everything - the weather, the location, the meal - and of course not least we feel very fortunate in having such a lovely son-in-law in Tom and his family. It was indeed a very joyous occasion for Sarah and Tom, especially as so many of their friends made it out to Malcesine as well.

Please pass on our thanks once again to the owner and staff at the ristorante Al Corsaro - it was a truly magnificent meal and was a topic of conversation for the next few days!

It was a great pleasure to meet you and we wish you all the very best for the future.

Ancora molte grazie!

Becki & Adam, June 09

Hi Gwen and Laura!

I Just wanted to say a big huge thanks for making mine and Adam's day so special I really enjoyed myself and I will never forget it! The pics are great thanks Gwen you have a really talent! I was just wondering when they were going on the website I have lots of family wanting to see them! Thanks again from the bottom of my heart!

 

Jo & Dave, May 09

Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and with the help of Laura, Gwen and all the team it went perfectly and surpassed all of our expectations. All our guests had a brilliant day and expressed how lovely and professional the girls were.
We whole heartedly recommend lakegardaweddings, the setting and local people involved in the day made it one to remember for all. Many thanks again for all your help and support both on the day and the year prior to it, you do a fantastic job.
Lots of love Joanne & Dave x

Hope youre all well

Ilona and Ciarán, May ‘09

Hi Deborah and Gwen,

We would like to thank you for making our special day so memorable and fabulous.  Everything was perfect, the location, the organisation, the ceremony, the boat ride, Gwen’s photographs and the reception.  All our guests commented on how well organised the day was so we had to come clean and admit that this was all due to the amazing Lake Garda Weddings team.

From first meeting the Lake Garda Weddings team we felt right at ease, safe in the knowledge we were in the hands of professionals who took great pride and joy in their work.  The level of personal service was second to none and all our dealings with Deborah and Gwen was accompanied with a smile.

During the wedding organisation and on the day itself, nothing was too much trouble to Deborah and Gwen.  All our queries were answered promptly.  All the providers they deal with are first rate but special mention must go the florist and the restaurant.  I swear the florist could read my mind as she produced the perfect bouquet.  The restaurant, Al Corsaro, fed us like kings and our guests commented that it was one of the best wedding meals they have ever had. 

Overall, our wedding was perfect in every respect, and the memories will stay with us into our dotage.  If we didn’t know better we would swear that Gwen and Deborah even arranged for the beautiful weather we got for our special day.  However, this may just be beyond their capabilities, but only just.

Ilona and Ciarán 

 

Trevor & Sandra, May 09

Good afternoon Gwen, and all at Lake Garda Weddings,   It's great to be able to put a face to all the various names now.   Thank you all once again for giving us a perfect start to our married life.  We had a fantastic day, it was absolutely perfect.  The phrase we keep coming up with, when talking enthusiastically to our friends and colleagues who weren't lucky enough to make the trip to Malcesine, is 'it was so well organised that it seemed effortless'.  This, despite us staying at the southern part of the Lake with our guests, having the ceremony at Malcesine, a boat trip to take us back down to the southern part of the lake, for the reception held at a previously unused venue!  We can't thank yourself, Andrea, and Ginny enough for the work done in organising our Wedding, and must also thank the rest of the team for their assistance during our stay, and on the day itself.   The correspondence during the planning stage was clear and concise, and had so many options that it ensured our day was personalised to our wishes.  Any nerves we may have had were swept away at the pre-wedding meeting before our big day.  It was so obvious that you had the whole thing organised down to the n'th degree, and as we have already said, the organisation of the day itself was absolutely superb.  The timings were all spot on, the day flowed seamlessly.    The location is just stunning, and when we do return, which we certainly will, we'll drop you a note and pop in.   All the very best, and thank you all once again for everything. Keep up the great work for all your future couples.    Love and best wishes
Trevor & Sandie

Carrie & Craig, May 09

Natalie & Liam, May 09

Hi Gwen and Andrea,

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you did at the weekend. Saturday was amazing and everyone had such a fantastic time and it really is thanks to the hard work you and the rest of the team put in.

It’s my first day back at work today and it feels very strange. It was pouring rain this morning and I so missed waking up to the view of the sunny lake and the mountains. I can’t wait to go on honeymoon on Saturday though!

  

Thanks again. We miss Malcesine already! I know we will see you again next year though, we won’t be able to keep away for long!

 

Lots of love,

Natalie

 

Laura & Steve, May 09

Hi Deborah & Gwen,
 
We just got back from honeymoon last night and want to send you our thanks for a perfect wedding day.
We're really pleased with the excellent service we received and would highly recommend using your company to anybody.
It was an unforgettable day in the most beautiful of settings and our guests all had a wonderful time, the boat trip seems to be a particular highlight!
 
We're also very happy with the quality of the wedding photos and have spent hours today going through them and trying to pick our favourites to send out to family and friends.
 
We will come back and visit soon, thanks again for all your help and hard work in making our wedding dreams come true.
 
Best Wishes,
 
Laura & Steve

 

Jenny & Mark, May 09

Dear Gwen, Laura and the rest of the team at Lake Garda Weddings,

Well, we are now back home but still living the fairytale that we left behind following our amazing wedding day in Malcesine on Saturday. 

We wanted to write to you to express our gratitude for your help, support and services in planning our perfect wedding day over the past year!  We really could not have pulled this together without you. 

We would particularly like to thank you for your prompt responses to our many, many emails, your helpfulness when we have been asking you a million and one questions, and for providing us with a very personal and professional level of service consistently throughout the entire planning process.  We know how busy you are but it truly felt like we were the only couple whose wedding you were planning!!!!!  We knew we could trust you 100% from the start and we have no hesistation in recommending you to others.    Malcesine really does feel like “home” to us and the people we met along the way – the florist – the beautician – the chef and waiting staff at Vecchia – yourselves – were the most lovely people. 

We just wish we could re-live the day again, but it was a day we shall never, ever forget and neither will our guests who felt gutted to be leaving your beautiful town! 

Next time we are over, we will pop in to say hello!

Best wishes for your future and many thanks once again………

Jenny & mark

 

Ru & Iestyn, May 09

Dear Lake Garda Weddings

Home now and back to work, and it feels weve been in a dream for a week! it was like paradise in our beautiful village, and my personal view from hotel room was awesome..All the guests said it was 100% beeter than expectations and looking at pics in 2D doesnt do justice to just how beautiful it all really is.
   I'd like to again give a massive thanks to you for all the work, and behind the scenes work you did on the day. Your a star, and everyone sung your praise. We'l now work on our friends to follow suit and marry in the same fantastic way!

Cat & Dieter , May 09

Dear Gwen and the team,
Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your help and hard work and for making our wedding absolutely perfect.
We had the most perfect day and cannot praise you and also especially Laura enough. Laura was fantastic throughout the day and also in the planning of the day, from taking us to the florists, the castle and also the reception. On the actual day of the wedding she was always at hand if Ii needed her and she made the day go flawlessly. It was perfect. Magical.
Two weeks on and still our guests are talking about how wonderful it was. Gwen the photos are perfect and all of them are stunning!!!
So thank you all so much we couldn't have had the best days of our lives without you and we are deeply grateful.
lots of love,
catherine x

 

Brona & John May 09

Dear Lake Garda Weddings

Got the photos DVD and have now got back to Ireland and seen them. There are so many it is like reliving the whole day again, which is great! There are some lovely ones - we will have trouble narrowing them down to put in the album!

Thanks very much for all your help organising our wedding day. It was beautiful and nobody who was there will ever forget it. Everything we had asked for was spot on - the venue, the flowers, the hairdresser, the meal, the music, the cake, the photographer were all lovely. And of course the wedding planner!

If you have any other brides coming to Salo (and I think that town hall as a venue is hard to beat) I couldn't recommend the Lepanto highly enough. Especially the aperitif at the lakeside - that was a really lovely part of the day, maybe as that was the first time John and I could sit back and relax! Fiore's food was so good and the place was so nice we actually went back there for two of our remaining nights. Again, if you have anybody else thinking of getting married in Salo and they want to talk to a previous bride, feel free to give them my email address.

We certainly intend coming back to Salo at some stage to enjoy all those happy memories and if you and Lorenzo are still about we will give you a shout. Thanks again.

Brona and John

Dear Gwen & Team

How can l put in to words my thanks to you all for making our day the best day of our lives.  Everything was so perfect.  If it was not for all your hard work not only on the day but for the last year we would not be hearing all the positive comments from all 75 of our guests (they all said it was the best wedding they have ever been too).   I would highly recommend your services to anyone who wanted to have a fairytale wedding.  Laura and Deborah were fantastic and l felt so confident in them the moment we all met.   The wedding pictures took by you Gwen are amazing and your professional touch on the day was priceless.   Thank you all so much for everything. 
Love Lisa and Dan x

Sally & Matt, April 2009

Hi Gwen
We have just got back to the UK after our honeymoon. Back down to earth with a bit of a bump.
 
We can't thank you enough for the amazing time we had on our wedding day. It was truly magical and we very much appreciate all the hard work that you and your team put into our special day. Our family had a great time and thought the location and ceremony were superb. The photos and DVD are beautiful. An outstanding job! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We would whole heartedly recommend you guys to anyone and everyone who wants to get married in Italy.

Olwyn & Willie  September 2008

Hi Gwen & Laura

Firstly apologies for not being in touch before now!
I'm the most indecisive person in the world so choosing photographs, from so many good ones, has been something of a trial.

Secondly I want to thank you both for a truly fantastic day. We have many wonderful memories and the wedding is still talked about regularly when we meet with our friends and family.
Thanks to your great organisational skills the day ran more smoothly than we could have imagined.

We and all our guests were delighted with Malcesine as a location. Call us biased but we think it is the most quaint of the villages around the Lake with really spectacular scenery. We will definately be back.

Malcesine Castle and the setting surpassed all our expectations. The boat trip with champagne reception was wonderful and really added something to the day.

The Excelsior Bay offered a lovely setting for the reception especially since we were lucky enough to have the weather to sit outside in the terrace overlooking the Lake.

 

Thanks again for organising an absolutely fantastic day.

Love Olwyn & Willie

 

Becky and Russ - Malcesine, September 2008
 
Thanks to you Gwen, Laura and your team our wedding day was absolutely perfect. It was so stress free and well organised. Everybody commented on how well every part of the day flowed into the next, each step was so carefully planned although it felt so relaxed on the day and we knew that we wouldn't have to worry about a thing. The champagne nibbles at La Pace where great and the tut-tut was essential (and fun!) given that the groom was out of action!! Crutches and cobbles not a good mix!! The Excelsior Bay is the perfect setting for a reception and I would highly recomend it. The food (and wine) where all delicious. I adored the flowers, the bridesmaids wrist corsages where beautiful and my flowers where perfect, just as I imagined. Special thanks to Laura for making up a substitute bouquet for me to throw, with very little notice, as I wanted to keep hold of my bouquet!! Malcesine Castle is such a beautiful setting for a wedding, it really was like a fairytale! All of our guests said it was without a doubt the best wedding they had ever been too, some even going so far as to suggest divorcing their spouse so that they could get re-married there!!  Thank you Gwen for the beautiful photographs - we are so so pleased with them. There are so many to choose from we are having extreme difficulty narrowing it down to a reasonable number!!! You really did organise a very special day for us and our guests to remember and we can't thank you enough. It was the most perfect, chilled day that we could have wished for.
 
Thanks a million,
Becky and Russ.     

Michelle / Wes, September 2008

Hi Gwen
 
Firstly apollogies for not being in touch until now (we've had no internet access at home since the beginning of october).  We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us to make our day perfect : ) you guys go above and beyond anything we could have expected you to do for us  (thank you for finding my flip flops and returning the flower jewels i forgot to collect from the florist! ) We did have a quite stressfull week (none of the stress was LakeGardaWeddings related) but the day of wedding was the most perfect, happy day we could have wanted/wished for. 
 
Thanks again for everything

Charlotte & Nick, August 2008

We have been meaning to email you to say a big thank you for organising such a perfect wedding for us, but have been so busy that we have only just got round to it 4 months later! (so sorry for the delay!)   We had a wonderful day & you helped to make it everything we could have dreamed of and have left us with lots of great memories (and of course lovely photos, thanks to Gwen).   Our guests commented on how well organised everything was & how you really made things run smoothly on the day.  Many of the guests even said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, which we would definitely agree with!  So thanks for taking care of everything for us & making the day stress free so we could relax & enjoy it.    We wish we could come back & do it again next year!  And keep recommending you to people in the hope that we get invited to the wedding & it will give us an excuse to come back & visit!!! (Hopefully you might get some bookings from it anyway)   Thanks again & good luck in 2009   Charlotte & Nick xxx

 

Leanne & Tom, August 08

It's almost impossible to put into words just how much all of your help means to us but you made sure that 22nd August was the most wonderful day of our lives. We can't begin to thank you enough. it just wouldn't have been possible without you and we thank our lucky stars every day that we had you to organise our wedding.
 

 
Thank you all so much again and we hope you have a fantastic Xmas.
 
Love, Tom and Leanne Reynolds x

Michelle & Sean, September 2008

Gwen it maybe a few months late but sincere thanks to yourself and your team for making our wedding day and week so fantastic.

We really had a great time over the week and couldn't fault a thing.
I've passed on your details to a few people who are interested in getting married overseas in 2009 - hopefully they'll be in touch with you soon!!

Wishing you and family a very Happy Christmas and New Year.

Kind regards
Michelle

 

Kelia & Joe, September 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings

Well, where to start? First of all, a massive thank you for the fantastic photos and for all of your help leading up to and on the day of the wedding. You really made our day stress free!

Thank you for introducing us to Sergio and the guys from La Pace, we had a fantastic dinner the Thursday before our wedding which I guess is really where the celebrations started. They really did make us, our family and friends feel totally welcome, relaxed and the cake that they presented us on the harbour was a fantastic surprise and really made the evening for us. The food was delicious, the setting was perfect and the atmosphere was like being welcomed by family. So thanks so much!

The photos really came out exactly how we had hoped, you and your team really made us feel relaxed and the photos really caught the moments. Its just so hard to decide which ones to have printed and which ones to frame!

Thanks for everything.

Kelia & Joe x

 

Claire & Dave, October 2008

Hi there,   We just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you very much for everyones help and support in organising our wedding.  The day was lovely, just what we wanted and hoped for.  You were all a fanastic help in making our day very special and something that we will never forget.    Even the weather added to the occaison, the sky looks amazing in the photos with the storm looming!    We hoped that you would also pass on our thanks on again to Sergio at La Pace. The food, drink and welcome were fanastic. The tuk tuk was an added bonus and made things so much easier for my grandma, she is still talking about how special she was made to feel!    We couldn't have picked a better venue.      Again, many thanks for everything.   Claire and Dave    

Sarah & Paul, August 2008

> Dear Lake Garda Weddings
>
> We don't really know where to start with our thank yous because there are so many thankyous to say to quite a few people involved with Lake Garda Weddings - who all helped make our day a truly special wedding day. I also want to say to anyone now reading this note, that these following comments are for real and not just included for a good review on LGW's part - having met other couples being married in Malcesine at the same time, I am sure that all will tell you exactly the same as I am now going to do so! So if you are in the middle of considering a wedding with LGW then please read on...
>
> Paul and me will start though, by thanking Gwen for our amazing wedding photos and bringing our day together with Pam, who helped ensure the whole day ran smoothly. Sergio from La Pace was brilliant from providing the tuk tuk to take me to the ceremony and providing great service at La Pace. Tiziana the hairdresser was lovely (and for all brides thinking of planning a wedding with LGW, a better hairdresser compared to many back in England) and fantastic and so was the florist.
>
> All of our guests have commented on what a great day our wedding day was and we truly believe the majority of that is down to LGW for helping it run so smoothly and providing us with options that made the day just so special. We got married in a beautiful castle which provides the most breath taking views and scenary for wedding photos, went on a fantastic boat trip that all our guests loved and then completed the day with a fab reception at La Pace eating great food and overlooking the lake with almost guaranteed sunshine all day long. Maybe I am now biased, but I really do feel that there is no comparison from this to getting married in the UK.
>
> When we embarked on our wedding planning over a year and a half ago, we just found Lake Garda Weddings via the internet and we are so glad we did. The service they provide is invaluable if you are looking to get married abroad, for starters you want somebody to take away all the hassle of legalities and LGW did just that, you want someone to provide a service that isn't just last minute like some other competitor services out there, i.e. you want someone to deal with the organisation on the day of 35 wedding guests, find you a good restaurant to hold your reception and find you a creative florist and hairdresser, which LGW did. Other competitor services don't show you the types of photos, flowers and cake you are getting until literally two days before your wedding, which is not necessarily what people want if they are planning a wedding for more than 6 of you to attend for example.
>
> When you are in the middle of planning a wedding like this it seems like the most daunting thing to have embarked upon because you are in our case organising a holiday for 35 people and secondly communicating with someone far away who is organising your wedding for you takes a lot of trust. So if you are considering booking a wedding through LGW, then all I can say is that Gwen and the team help throughout the whole process and answer your emails and any phone call panics that you may have along the way!!
>Unfortunately for you and the rest of Malcesine, the talk here is that everyone wants to come back for more!! So, no I don't think that means another wedding for us to organise - Paul and me seem fine for now!! > But we could all be back to disrupt the serenity of Malcesine again, so we will see you at some point soon on a return visit!>

> Grazie,

Maureen & Adam, September 08

To all at Lake Garda Weddings

  

We would like to take this opportunity to express our greatest thanks for organising such a magical day for us. You came highly recommended by one of my work colleagues and although we weren’t completely in the dark as to what to expect you exceeded our wildest dreams.

 

The sun shone all day, the boat ride was fantastic (highly recommended) and the food at the Excelsior Bay was exceptional. We were overwhelmed by the whole experience and we can honestly say it was one of the best days of our lives. The people dear to us who made the trip out to Malcesine have said what a wonderful time they had too.

 

Malcesine and the castle are amazing. We later went on to Venice, Rome and Viarregio and we can honestly say that Malcesine outshone them by far for the beautiful surroundings and the excellent food. We will be returning for our anniversary next September.

 

The photos are fantastic. Sometimes it’s hard to keep smiling throughout all the photographs but you seemed to make it easy. We’ve had some difficulty deciding which prints to choose- well, there are nearly 800 of them!

 

We would like to thank both of you for giving us a truly wonderful day. You made the experience of organising a wedding abroad a piece of cake although I’m sure a lot of hard work went into it from your end. You were both very professional but at the same time were warm and friendly and put everybody at their ease, you felt more like guests than organisers.

 

Thanks and Best Wishes,

 

Maureen & Adam

 

Andrea & Brian, October 2008

Dear all at Lake Garda Weddings.

 

We would express our gratitude for a truly wonderful wedding day.

 

It all started just over a year ago with us making our first contact with you to enquire about getting married in Italy, from the initial contact, to our last couple of days in Italy you have made us feel that nothing we have asked was ever too much trouble your attention to detail shines through.

All the suppliers you use the hairdresser Tiziana, the florist the beauty technician, the musicians all helped to ensure our day ran perfectly.

 

When we arrived for our welcome meeting with Laura, we knew that everything was going to be perfect any concerns we had just faded away, you dealt with all our requests with total professionalism even down to organizing the boat trip at short notice.

 

On the day itself everything just seemed to flow, all our guests commented on how relaxed the whole day was which speaks volumes.

 

We would like to express our special thanks to Sergio and his team at La Pace, who ensured everyone within our party had not only a wonderful time on the wedding day but also during the times they visited the restaurant during there stay. Sergio was extremely helpful allowing the use of the Tuk Tuk to transport my Dad in a wheelchair around on the wedding day and arranging suitable access for him to use the facilities at the neighboring restaurant.

 

Gwen the photo’s all 600 of them are wonderful a really big thank you for shooting in RAW format, you’ve done an amazing job getting two people who hate having photos taken to looking so relaxed and comfortable.

 

We stayed in the Malcesine for a few days after the wedding during which was the Ciottolando festival thanks for recommending we get tickets for this we had a wonderful time trying out restaurants we’d not spotted during our stay, we will definitely make sure we arrange a trip to Malcesine to coincide with this in the future.

 

You and your team do a marvelous job.

 

To anyone looking at the website reading this, your wedding day will be in perfect hands with all the team at LGW.

 

Thanks

 

Andrea & Brian

 

Karen & Steve, October 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

We would like to give you our heartfelt thanks for a fantastic wedding day.  Ours was your last wedding of the season.  But it could easily have been mistaken as your first; thanks to the close attention you gave our requests and your professionalism in carrying them out.

We had the best time possible, with lots of memories that will stay with us forever. All of our guests felt the same, commenting on what a special day it was and how hard you had worked to make sure that everyone had a wonderfully memorable time.

Your excellent service and brand is reinforced by the different suppliers you use: from the hairdressers who couldn't do enough for me, to Sergio and the taxi service (Tuk Tuk) that he so kindly provided for us.

The champagne toast was excellent and the children really enjoyed being in the driving seat on the boat trip.
Our very big thanks go to Mario at Al Corsaro for the fantastic food. The service and hospitality they gave us and our guests was first class. We had a ball – and no one made it to the bar afterwards as we were completely shattered!

We are delighted too with the great photographs that have perfectly captured the whole day.
We knew Malcesine was going to be special and the weather helped (a lot!). But our wedding day was made even better by you two, and we can honestly say that it was hundred times better than we imagined it could ever be.

We will be returning to Lake Garda sometime in the future and hope to see that you are still bringing smiles to other couples faces like you did to ours.

Love and best wishes Steve & Karen

 

 

Kevin & Lucy, August 08

Gemma & Ben, September 08

We had such a fantastic time in Italy and would like to say a huge thanks again to you and Laura plus Sergio, the florists, Tiziana the hairdressers and anyone else we've forgotten! It was amazing and the photos are beautiful. Everything went like clockwork on the day and was extremely well organised. All of our guests had a brilliant time too which topped off a perfect week. It just feels like a dream now we are back home and back to work!

 

Helen & Neil, August 08

Dear Gwen and Laura

We just wanted to say a huge THANKYOU for organising our fantastic and truly perfect wedding day.There was not one aspect of our day that didn't far exceed our expectations. You both went above and beyond the call of duty and made us feel that our wedding was genuinely unique.
Laura, what can we say, you are so lovely,genuine and truly professional. Your reassuring and discrete prescence throughout the day was appreciated by everyone and your translation of the ceremony was beautiful!
Gwen, thanks so much for the amazing photos. Yes, we're really glad we chose some cheesy shots too as they look great. You made us all feel completely at ease and we had a real laugh.
The buffet done by La Pace was fantastic and great value for money as was the brilliant boat trip that wowed our guests (and us!).
Our reception at the Excelsior Bay was out of this world, we can honestly say it was one of the best meals we've ever had. The serving staff were attentive and efficicient and we loved our heart shaped cake.
Mustn't forget to thank Tiziana the hairdresser who gave me the best blow dry I've ever had (!), the lovely flowers were the perfect finishing touch to what we can honestly say was a wonderful day.
You run your business in a way that demonstrates that you genuinely care for your clients and for that you deserve continuing success

We'll be back, but not to remarry!
Helen and Neil

 Leanne & Stephen, September 2008

Dear lake Garda Weddings,

This is the first chance I have had to write and say thank you for a perfect wedding day.

Having seen the Castle in a wedding brochure and just taken the chance on booking it because it looked like a nice place, we were a bit anxious as to how the day would turn out, but we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better day - the Castle and ceremony were fabulous, La Pace provided excellent service for our champagne toast (with much more champagne than I thought would be supplied for the price!) and the food and service at the Excelsior Bay were fantastic, many of our guests had been a bit dubious about the food because they were unsure what a lot of it would be, but every single person enjoyed it. The boat trip was an excellent extra which gave the two of us a bit of quality time together away from our guests following the ceremony.

All of our guests commented afterwards that it was the best wedding they had attended and would be hard to beat. Many also commented on how helpful you were throughout the day, with any questions or needs that they had.

Gwen, our photographs are fabulous, I usually really hate having my photo taken and am not very photogenic at all, but you made the photography fun, and have taken some fantastic shots, we’re having difficulty choosing which ones we want printed.

Of course the good weather helped too!!

 

Thanks again for everything,

 

Leanne and Stephen x

 

 

Rebecca & Gavin, August 2008

Dear Gwen and all at Lake Garda Weddings   We would like to thankyou all very much indeed for making our day so special, everything ran like clockwork and all the guests were absolutely amazed at how well our day went.  Words cannot express how we felt on the day (I think our emotions got the better of us when we were trying to do the speeches, everyone said they had never cried so much at a wedding before!!)  Of course Sergio was wonderful, he could'nt do enough to please us.  (We were so lucky with the weather too!)   Good luck with all that you do you deserve it with all the hard work you put into everything.   Best wishes to you all.  

Caroline & matthew, August 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings
         We can't thank you enough for all that you did in planning our beautiful wedding. Malcesine is truly outstanding and the grounds of the castle are amazing. However, our wedding would not have been what it was without your meticulous attention to detail both in the planning and in the photography.  From our initial email to you to the actual ceremony, you showed us a professional, first class service but with warmth and sincerity. All of the correspondence that we had with you was reassuring, precise and prompt! When telling our friends about the service and how easy you made things, they were astounded.  What you do behind the scenes is amazing.
        When meeting you before the wedding, you put us completely at ease and never once did we feel that we were 'just another couple.' When translating our vows for us, you said them with such conviction, it brought tears to my eyes.
         Gwen, the photographs truly capture what our day was like- full of laughter and happy tears. The slide show that we were offered by you has made everyone cry! Thank you for going the extra mile and returning in the evening to take more pictures down by the lake-that was so much fun!
Many thanks also go to Sergio at La Pace for the fabulous food at the champagne reception and Cristian at Excelsior Bay for organising the wedding breakfast.
          Lake Garda weddings is going from strength to strength and we wish you every success for your future.  Once again our sincerest thanks,

Sue & David August 2008

 Dear Lake Garda Weddings

We would like to thank you all so much for organising our wedding for us in Malcesine.  We had the most amazing time.  The venue was perfect even with the rain!!  It didn't spoil a thing.
 
The music at the ceromony was beautiful and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip around the lake.
 
What can we say about our reception at the Vecchia other than it was just perfect, the food and wine were fantastic and the group in the evening were absolutely amazing, it was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
 
We thought your professionalism shone out throughout the day, but in a relaxed and informal way, putting everyone at ease and making the day enjoyable for everyone.
 
We would like to say a big thank you to Laura for making our day extra special.
 
None of our guests had ever been to malcesine before but now they can't wait to return.
 
We wish you all every success in the future
 
Love Sue & David x

Kate & Dan, August 2008
Dear Lake Garda Weddings
 
We can't thank you enough for making sure ourday was so special. We still can't quite believe it's all over and it's been nearly a month! We loved Malcesine and didn't want to leave. We are considering new careers which involve living in Lake Garda... (In our dreams).
 
Gwen, we knew your photos were going to be good, but we weren't prepared for just how spot on they were in capturing our day. Your attention to detail is fantastic. We got to see stuff which, on the day, passed us by - like what the tables looked like before everyone sat down, and catching the kids party bags and best men speeches envelopes before it all got trashed!
 
Thanks so very much to both of you . We felt relaxed and safe knowing that you had it all under control. Such a brilliant day! Without it sounding like a cliche, it was the best day of our lives :) Our family and guests all commented on how great the day was and how good the food at Excelsior Bay is.

Dear Lake Garda Weddings

Rob & Kerry, May 08  

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone at lake Garda weddings for a fantastic time during our wedding at Torri del benaco. The location lived up to all the promises and the support and hospitality from you all was excellent, as too was the professional yet relaxed approach on the day itself through to the quality of the photographs for us too look back at.

 

Everything l from the Hotel to the restaurant was perfect for us.

 

Thank you again for making this special time that little bit extra.

 

I wish you all the success in the future as you deserve it and more.

 

Love Rob and Kerry

 

Dear Lake Garda Weddings

Kate & Jason, August 08

Firstly Kate and I would like to thank you both very much for creating the most perfect wedding day. Everything that we dreamed of for a perfect wedding was executed with perfection - and all thanks to you!!

Again, we can not thank you both enough for creating the perfect day, something that will live in our memories forever... many of our guests also commented on it being the best wedding they had ever attended!!

Best regards,

Kate & Jason

 

 

Gillian & Maurizio August 08

Hi Lake Garda Weddings

We are now back to the land of the living. We thought we would drop you an email to express our sincerest thanks for helping make our special day the most wonderful day we have had. It was absolutely fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed it. With your professionalism and calmness the day went off without a hitch. From the time that we sent our first email to you to organise our wedding your professionalism shone through. We didn't have to worry about anything either before the wedding or on the day. You had the day timed down to perfection for everything that we did. The ceremony was just as we wanted. The nibbles and champagne by the lakeside were just what we all needed after the ceremony and the food went down very well with everybody. The boat trip was a fantastic way to cool down in the sunshine and see beautiful Malcesine. The staff in the Excelsior Bay couldn't have been better and the food was absolutely superb. Everybody is raving about the food and how fantastic it was.

Our family and friends are still talking about the wedding. They are now saying that they cannot go to anymore weddings here in Ireland because they will never be able to compete with Malcesine. Some of our friends were so impressed with your organisation of the wedding that they are thinking of organising their renewal of their vows in Malcesine so don't be surprised if you start getting emails about that. My cousin who is getting married next year in France said there is absolutely no way he could compete with our wedding in Malcesine. My uncle said it was the best day of his life.

Everybody fell in love with Malcesine, it is the most spectaculor place to be in for such a wonderful occasion. Everybody loved everything about the wedding.

Gwen the photos are fantastic, we now have the hard job of picking out which ones we want for our album.

We are forever in your debt for helping make our special day so romantic and from the both of us we would just like to say a very big Thank You. You were both amazing. We wish you every success for the future and will have no hesitation of recommending you to anybody who even mentions getting married to us. Malcesine is the most beautiful and romantic place to get married and thank you again.

Thanks

Gillian and Maurizio

 

Rosemarie & William, August 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings
 
I wanted to thank you again for helping us have a wonderful day on August 29th.
 
The assistance of Lorenzo was invaluable on the day. The music was fabulously executed, and set the romantic Italian tone for the wedding of our dreams. The experience of the photographers  and other staff shone through.
 
I wish you continued success in the future, and eagerly look forward to viewing the photos.
 
sincerely,
Rosemarie.

Jacqui & Simon, August 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings

We are now safely back in the UK and one of the first things we wanted to do was to write and thank you for all your efforts that went into making our wedding on 16th August in Malcesine so fantastic.

Being familiar with the Lake Garda region, we knew what an unbelievable location it was, but could the reality match our dreams. The whole day lived up to and exceeded our expectations.

Following our decision 12 months ago, to choose Lake Garda Weddings to organise matters, we have never been in doubt that we made the correct choice. The advice and updates sent, re-assured us that everything was in hand and allowed us to look forward to the day with confidence.

The day itself was unreal. Those relations and friends who were lucky enough to join us in Italy could not believe the location or how well organised and enjoyable everything was. Indeed, many people told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

Throughout the day, we had you on hand to help and attend to us and we cannot thank or praise her enough for everything she did.

 

For our reception, we had opted for an informal meal at La Pacé. Having met Sergio last year, we  immediatley knew this was where we wanted our reception. Again, our decision was fully justified. Despite our very limited Italian and his limited English, we had a brilliant time. Credit for this goes to not only Sergio, but also all his staff. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and the quality of the food and service was superb.  Sergio is a star,not only a great host and chef, but a really funny guy. 

 

We cannot recommend too highly the services of Lake Garda Weddings. Thanks once again for everything,.

Fiona & Les, August 08

Hi Gwen,

Just a note to say a big thanks to you and Laura on behalf of ourselves and our guests for such a fantastic day. We're the last of close family and friends to take the leap so we've all been to plenty of weddings over the years in Ireland and abroad but I think it's safe to say that everyone was completely blown away by their experience in Malcesine. Lots of people commented to me on the amount of organisation and planning we must have had to do to pull the day off and while we'd love to take the credit, apart from filling in a few forms and a few emails back and forth it was all down to Lake Garda Weddings. It took us a long time as you know to take the plunge, but we couldn't have picked a more beautiful and magical location and it was so worth the wait. Very few of our guests had been to Lake Garda before. It was difficult to describe just how amazing a place it is and we've no doubt there will be plenty of return visits.

We also to have to mention Hotel Europa and in particular Silvia who looked after everyone so well and couldn't do enough for us both on the day itself and during the rest of our stay.

That's it. Can't believe it's all over! Thanks again for everything and we'll be back.

Fiona & Les

ps photos are amazing!

Carolyn & Raymond, August 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,   We wanted to write to thank you again for the fairytale wedding we had in Malcesine.  It was far beyond our expectations and our guests and us are all still on a high from the whole experience and we can't wait to come back to see all the lovely people we met again!   Thanks for making us feel so relaxed and happy - even through a thunderstorm!  We will thoroughly recommend you to anyone considering getting married abroad as their full trust can be put in you to arrange everything.  We had never been to Malcesine before and the restaurant, boat and band were outstanding. (What was the name of the band as we'd like to send them a thank you card too?)   The service and food at the Vecchia Malcesine were second to none (thanks again to Leandro, Massimo and Juel)  The registrar was so sincere and kind and the Amigos boat trip was fabulous!  As for Sergio and his Tuk Tuk!  Words cannot describe the wonderful service he offered in transporting us in the rain, sheltering us with the umbrellas and even cleaning up cat poo!  His generosity at La Pace the next night was incredible, the lakeside apperitifs and a beautiful surprise cake with fireworks topped it off in celebrity style!  A perfect wedding reception venue as well, we felt like it was a two day wedding reception!   Thanks again Laura for being so sweet and lovely.  Everyone loved you and you kept the day so well organised.  Gwen you were amazing with the photographs, thanks so much for them all, although we don't see that one of you on the website!   Thanks again for such a magical time, everyone says they've never experienced a wedding like it and will never be matched! (maybe yours and Sergio's might though! Raymond is available for the photography!)   Loads of love and baci!

Kirsty & Peter, August 2008

To Lake Garda Weddings
 
To say we had a good day would be an understatement..............it was PERFECT! From the first moment we met Laura at our welcome meeting in Malcesine, our stresses and worries dissolved with her calm, organised manner, even helping with the pronounciations of our italian vows! Having time to relax in stunning surroundings with all the details taken care by you guys, allowed us to enjoy our special day in a relaxed fashion that could not have happened back at home. The ceremony was translated beautifully through Laura who conveyed the sincere, warm wishes of the registrar. We are truly thankful for all your help and your support, you made our day!
 
Sergio, what can I say! Such a kind man who made so many special touches to my day, even though it was his birthday. I`m sure he and his staff at La Pace will not forget the liverpool girls and limoncello! The loan of his Tuk Tuk was such an original carriage to the castle which myself and my husband absolutely loved!
 
The boat trip was a must have, a fantastic manner in which to show our guests Lake Garda and cool off in the heat! Kids and adults had a fabulous time, many memories to cherish. Hotel Excelsior Bay was the final chapter in our day, but what a stunning venue for a reception. Watching the sunset, throwing my bouquet and paddling with our guests in the lake, all in between amazingly, delicious food & wine........what more could we ask for!
 
Last, but by no means least is Gwen. The sole reason I chose Lake Garda Weddings was for your amazing, modern photography. You put us at ease through the day and we had many laughs trying out different ideas with you! We were so excited when we saw ourselves on the website whilst on honeymoon and could not wait to see the cd when we got home. You did not disappoint. We are absolutely thrilled with all 500 pictures! How we will choose between them I don`t know!
 
Many thanks to everyone else who was involved in making our day so memorable!

Michelle & Alan, August 08

Hi Lake Garda Weddings

So sorry for the delay in writing to thank you, but following the honeymoon in Positano, and then coming straight back to work, the days have shot by! I can’t believe we have just had our 1 month wedding anniversary!!

We would like to thank both of you so much for such a wonderful wedding day – it was perfect, and we wouldn’t have changed a thing – except to maybe cool the temperature down a little!!!!

You both made the whole day so enjoyable for everyone, and the co-ordination of the day was seamless. The flowers were gorgeous, and the ceremony was beautiful.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip back to Bardolino, taking in both the views and the bubbly!!!!!

Please pass on our thanks to Natale and Stefano at the San Martino. We knew we were not making a mistake in booking our favourite restaurant in Bardolino for the reception, and the staff really helped in making the day so special. The food was first class, the service excellent, and the two music guys were great. Everyone had such a fun time (including some of the locals!), and the whole day is still a high topic of conversation between all our friends and family, some even saying that it’s the best wedding they have ever been to !!

We would like to thank Debbie for calmly guiding us through the plans in the days leading up to the wedding, and for painstakingly helping count out and purchase the correct amount of sugared almonds for the favours when we arrived (!), and for answering my millions of “control freak” questions!!!!!!

Gwen – The photos are lovely. It’s taken some time to go through them and choose the ones for our album. There are so many! We were so pleased with them – we are not the most photogenic of people, plus you made the whole “photo taking” part of the day fun! I would also like to thank you for putting up with a whole years worth of my endless emails and questions – bet you are glad they are over!!!!!!!

So, once again, thank you both so much for everything, and we hope to maybe bump into you again during one of our future visits to the lake.

Love

Michelle & Alan xxxxxx

 

Laura & Matthew, August 08

Alan and I would like to say thank you for giving Laura, Matthew and all our guests the most 'magically experience'.

It was the most perfect day. It felt like we were in a dream, and now back at home it was so perfect that it seems unreal.

Our sincere thanks to you and Laura for all you organisation, patience and care that you took to make it such a special day.

Looking forward the the photographs - perhaps then we will be able to believe it really happened!

Lots of love and thanks,

(parents of the Bride)

 

Sandra & Billy, August 2008

Hi Lake Garda Weddings

Billy and I would like to say what a wonderful day we had on Saturday, everything was just perfect. Thank you for everything that you done for us, we will never forget it.

In Sorrento now for a week, what a spectacular place. Will be in touch, looking forward to seeing pictures.

 

Clare & Rich July 2008

Hi all at Lake Garda Weddings,
 
We have just returned from our honeymoon in Tuscany and Florence and wanted to drop you a line to express our thanks for such a wonderful wedding day.
 
We have just come back down to earth and really wish we were still out there in Malcesine and could do it all again.  The photos arrived a couple of days ago and are absolutely fantastic, we are so pleased with them Gwen and really don't know how we will chose which ones to have printed.  We can't believe that you managed to make us look so relaxed given that we really were unsure how to pose - but once Rich got over the initial "eyebrow raising" on sight of the camera the results were fantastic!!
 
You made the year of organising the wedding so easy, thank you so much for addressing all my concerns in my very long emails.  I always knew that we were in very capable hands and you put my mind at rest with everything.  When we arrived for our welcome meeting with Laura, I just knew that everything was going to be perfect, you really had thought of everything!
 
On to the day itself, we really can't thank you enough for coordinating on the day and translating the ceremony so perfectly.  All our guests couldn't believe how efficiently everything ran on the day and we thought the same, nothing was too much trouble for you.  We truly didn't have to worry about anything and neither did our parents, which was so important to us as I really wanted my parents to be able to relax and enjoy the day rather than worrying about everything going on around them.  I didn't realise that you would stay during the meal to make sure everything was ok, but that was such a help and very much appreciated.
 
Please could you also pass on our thanks to Sergio and the staff at La Pace for their very warm welcome on the Wednesday evening and for the loan of the Tuc Tuc, which was a fabulous addition to the day.  Also to the string quartet who played beautifully but in all the excitement we forgot to thank personally.  The hairdresser and florist were also amazing and both created exactly what I had in my mind and were so welcoming and helpful so again, please pass on my thanks there.  I would also recommend to anyone to have the boat trip, all our guests really enjoyed this and it was a nice way to chat to everyone and cool off a bit on such a hot day. We felt like celebrities when we arrived for the boat trip and when we got off with all the tourists and locals crowding around and wishing us well!  Onto the reception itself...what can we say!...the Excelsior Bay was such a fantastic venue, thank you so much for suggesting it to us.  We were a little apprehensive as we hadn't tried the menu we chose, or the wine, but we needn't have worried, it was all out of this world.  Our guests are still talking about the food now and how good it was, the service was also fantastic. We also had a brilliant evening, the DJ was great and played all the songs we requested - so again please pass on our thanks to all involved at the Excelsior.  I hope we haven't forgotten anyone!!
 
There was absolutely nothing we would fault about our day, it truly was the best of our lives and many of our guests have said to us that it was the best wedding they have been to, which is lovely to hear.  Many have also said that they loved Malcesine so much that they intend to return in the future, we are very proud to have introduced them to your town, which we love so much too!
 
We wholeheartedly recommend Lake Garda Weddings to anyone thinking of getting married at Lake Garda, they will really look after you and you will have an amazing day.
 
I will miss the email contact with you now - what will I do without a wedding to think about!!  We really hope that when we return to Malcesine we will see you all again.
 
With very kind regards and thanks again,
 
Claire and Rich

Fiona & Alan, July 2008

Thank you so much for all you help and assistance before and on the actual day, you are both fab and we could not have done it without you.  I was not expecting to be nervous but your calm tones had the right affect and I could not stop grinning (infact we both still can't now). Your recommendation of the La Loggia was the best and we actually ate there twice after our wedding day for dinner as the food and service is so good.

Gillian & Stephen July 2008

Dear Gwen,   Stephen and I would like to say a great big thank you for all your help both prior to our wedding day and during the whole day on 25th July 2008. It truly was a day to remember from the Castle to La Pace to Vecchia.Malcesine is such a special place and will always be close to our hearts.   Our friends and family were overawed with the whole day and have not stopped talking about it since we got back from our honeymoon in Sardinia.   The service you provided in terms of wedding planning and photography were second to none.   Also we must mention Laura, who was fantastic throughout the day and calmed our nerves and made the whole day flow beautifully.   What an asset to your company she is!   We have to mention your photographs with the fantastic angles and beautiful scenery, it really is hard to choose 40 but we will try. We can't wait to see our video and will definitely be back to see you next year.   Thanks again   Lots of Love   Gillian & Stephen

Sally & Paul July 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,
Cannot thank you enough for the wonderful,incredible and memorable wedding you arranged for our daughter Sally and her husband Paul on the 31st july 08.Everything from beginning to end was perfect-----------not just for them but also for each and every one of their family and friends.Will always recommend you to anyone who is considering a wedding abroad.The day met our expectations and more thanks to you all.

Verity & Steve, July 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

I can’t believe how quickly the last few weeks have passed since Steve and I got married on 18 July and I’m only just getting round to doing our ‘thank yous’ and the two of you are at the top of our long list.

We can’t thank you both enough for making our big day so very special. Italy is stunning, Malcesine Castle absolutely breathtaking and the day truly wonderful. Even though you are obviously so busy at no time did we feel that we were on a conveyer belt, in fact the complete opposite as we felt that ours was the only wedding you had ever organised!

Laura, you were really amazing and instilled so much confidence in us to completely relax and soak up the day and take it all in, something that I’m sure we wouldn’t have been able to do here in England. The little details you did for us were extraordinary, from silly things like soft drinks for the children on the boat to dancing with my father in law at the reception, you really made our day go without any hiccups!

Gwen, the pictures are spectacular posing us with the biggest decision - which to get printed! Thank you for getting these to us so quickly, I’ve been looking at them every other day to re-live the whole experience.

Please could you also pass on our thanks to the florist for a beautiful bouquet, which amazingly survived back home in my hand luggage and also to Vecchia Malcesine for a delicious dinner with perfect service and the MG project for a fantastic set. One last thank you to pass on please to the Registrar who performed our service, even though in Italian his sentiment was apparent and very personal.

If this was real paper I was writing on it would be all soggy by now as I’ve got all emotional again thinking about how fantastic our wedding was so thank you so so much for helping us have an intimate, personal and beautiful day with memories we will treasure forever.

With love and best wishes to you both,

Verity and Steve

Leanne & Stephen, June 08

Firstly Lee-Anne and I can't thank you all enough for looking after us before and during our wonderful wedding. Everything was perfect.

Please send our thanks and love to everyone one at Pace for a lovely meal and time had by all.

It certainly is a day we or our guest will never forget.

Thank you for the CD of the pictures you took.

Thanks once again

Janine & Alistair, June 08

Hi to you all   Sorry its taken so long for us to email but time has simply flown since we got back from Malcesine in June.   We just wanted to say a huge "Thank You" to Lake Garda Weddings for making our wedding day a day to remember.   Special thanks to Laura whose help beforehand and on the day made sure everything went smoothly and also to Gwen who did an absolute fantastic job with the photographs.   Sergio and all the staff at La Pace were fantastic and even now people are commenting how great the food was (which is probably why we ended up eating there most nights!!)   Our wedding day was just how we imagined (minus the sun) and we would definitely recommend you to anyone who is thinking of getting married in Lake Garda!   All the best   Janine and Alistair Malcesine - 5 June 2008

Karen & Robert, July 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,   We have returned from Florence after a fantastic wedding and honeymoon.  We would like to thank you very much for the tremendous personal service you provided in Malcesine.    We have a tip for people considering getting Married in Lake Garda - put your faith in Lake Garda Weddings - they will do everything you ask for and more excellently.  If you are getting married at Malcesine have the Champagne Toast - absolutely brilliant with loads of food and great service - your guests will love it.  Don't worry about short timescales for hair apointments.  Karen could not believe how quick (35 minutes) they were and what a fantastic job they did.  Hotel Excelsio Bay were superb - top quality food and and brilliant service.   The whole event ran like clockwork (paperwork, hair, flowers, castle, food, reception, photos, champagne toast etc.)  and our wedding planner Laura was superb and stayed with us until late into the evening ensuring that everything went smoothly).   Once again our thanks to Lake Garda Weddings.  We will never forget our wedding and we have superb photos by Gwen to remind us.  Our guests raved and raved about the day - countless saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to (and remember they had all paid a lot of money to join us).   Best wishes   Rob  

Kathy & Maurice June 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings, We have just arrived back from a month in Italy, so this thank you is a bit delayed. Where do we start. You all made our day one of the best of ours lives, and when you think that it is up there with the births of our children, grandchildren and also the day that we met, you can see how special it was to us, and to be honest the success of the day was 99% down to you guys, all we had to do was turn up. We had the most amazing day as did our guests, we have had thank you cards from them thanking us for inviting them to our wedding they all had such a great time. we are sure that our wedding will be spoken about for years to come and remembered with much affection.  

• The photos were amazing [ Thank you Gwen ]
• The service magical [ Thank you Laura ]
• The welcome drinks at La Pace and the ride in the Tut Tut a treat not to be missed [ Thank you Serge ]
• The Hairdressers made such  a good job of the hair   [ Thank you Girls ]

• The cake "Gwen you said Italian wedding cake was to die for, how right you were, we are still dreaming about it" [ So a thank you to  who ever made it.]
• The flowers were just amazing we loved them [ So a great big thank you there ]
• And the last but not least thank you goes to Pam. For being so kind and gracious when she received the 11.30pm phone call from Maurice and Serge,  [Pam you are a shinning star ]  
• To sum up we would like to say that, when you get to our age it is very hard to put your trust in to the hands of someone else, as you are so used to being the one in control, we took a chance and past over to you and  are we so glad that we did,  you made us feel that we had known you all for years and that you would have done anything to make our day special for us. You are people, people and excellent at what you do.    We wish you all the very best of Good health, Luck and Happiness. Kind Regards Maurice and Kathy

Michelle & Kev, July 08 Malcesine

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

Now where do we start? I don’t think we can say anything that hasn’t already been said by couples that have also had the most fantastic fairytale wedding day. The service we received was second to none, from the planning of the wedding through to photography on the day. Instead of listing all the amazing things you did for us during the organisation of the wedding, from the emails putting me at ease, to the support on the day, we want to highlight a couple of things that we think sets you apart from anyone else.

 

To Gwen, organising the boat to go from Malcesine to Bardolino instead of the usual trip around the lake meant we could fulfil Kev’s dream of the champagne boat trip whilst taking us to our reception. The photo’s we got on the boat and our reception location were stunning. Thank you Gwen for going that extra mile capturing moments not just of our wedding day but also of the hotel that we absolutely love.

Finally, thank you for recommending Tracey and Ces to organise our transpor t. Tracey and Ces also go that extra mile, going above and beyond the call of duty. The music and beers that the boys had in their car was very much appreciated, as was Ces turning up early to pick us up in Verona!

What makes you two such wonderful people? You did whatever it took to make our day the best, most memorable day of our lives. We felt we can ask you anyth ing and it would be no problem. To top it all, you’re friendly, funny and we felt as though you were friends at our wedding party. All our guests commented on how smoothly the day went, how great Gwen was organising the guests for photo’s and how friendly Pam was. ‘Fairytale’ ‘out of this world’ and the ‘best wedding’, was just some of the guest’s comments. Lake Garda Weddings – why would anyone go anywhere else?

Thanks again for organising the best day of our life! We’ll be coming bac k to Lake Garda as will our guests.

Michelle and Kev

Noelle & Stephen, July 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

We just wanted to drop you a line to say a huge thank you for organising our wonderful wedding day . We were really thrilled with how smoothly everything went and we were really able to relax and enjoy every minute of it.

We were delighted with the photos as well, couldn't have hoped for better.

Our guests were all very impressed with the whole day and with how well it had been organised. In particular, people are still talking about Al Volt and the fabulous food and service.

So overall, we just want to say thanks for giving us a wonderful stress free day (stress free for us at least!).

All the best,
Noelle and Stephen

Fiona & Teri, July 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

Just getting back to reality, we had an amazing day, we want to say thank you to everyone at lake garda weddings for planning it all so well, it was even better than we imagined it would be. The photo's are fantastic it's great having so many to choose from. Also we would highly recommend La Pace, the food was lovely and the staff were brilliant. It really was perfect, everyone had a great time and it was so relaxed, so thanks very much for taking all the stress out of planning it for us.

Cathie & Paul, June 2008

Hi Gwen   I really don't know where to start in terms of thanking you and Pam in making our day so special.   I would like to start by saying a HUGE thank you for making our day go so well. All of my guests commented on how good she was. It felt as though she actually enjoyed the day, although seeing her in action over the previous days made me realise what an enormous amount of work goes into making the day run smoothly. My guests knew exactly what was going to happen and when they needed to be there. If they'd had to rely on me, it would have been a disaster as I was too busy walking around with my head in the clouds!!!! Because of her brilliance I was able to really relax and enjoy the day, I did not worry about a thing and it all went as planned.   Roberto, our lovely registrar, it was like being married by an old favourite uncle, he made our ceremony feel really personal, despite only just meeting us!!! Grazie, Roberto x   Our lovely photographer, who managed to make us look gorgeous!!!!! and really captured our personalities. Grazie, Maury (I hope I have got his name right) x   All the staff at the Vecchia. The food was to die for and the cake was stunning. The staff were lovely and all my guests said how fantastic the food was. Grazie x   TESTIMONIAL I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Lake Garda Weddings if you would like to get married there. Their service is second to none. I cannot find anything I would have done differently. I was quite a disorganised bride so having Gwen send me reminders of what needed to be done and when, was a real help, it never felt as though I was being harassed.   My wedding day was perfect!!!! My guests enjoyed themselves so much I have actually received thank you cards!!! even though they put themselves out to come to our wedding. This is a testament to the hard work Lakegardaweddings put in so I didn't have to. I just turned up and had the best day of my life.   Thank you soooooooooooo much.   Cathie (Iamfinallymarried) Sutton XX   PS: Don't even think of changing business/retiring/moving as we intend to come back in 10 years and renew our vows.

Danny & Leanne, July 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to say a huge thank you for making our day so special. Everything went just as we hoped and we couldn't have asked for it to be any better and that was all down to your planning and hard work. You were amazing on the day and the photo's Gwen took are fantastic. Thank you for everything and we will be recommending you to friends

Thanks again

Danny & Leanne

 

Samantha & Darren, July 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

We  scarcely know how to begin this email as we fear that it simply is not possible to express just how wonderful our wedding on 10th July 2008 was and how grateful we will always be to you both for making it so.  From the very beginning of the planning stage (and the first few emails) we knew we were in good hands, but when we arrived in Malcesine and met you both we were blown away by your total professionalism, attention to detail and, most of all, by how you genuinely cared about us and our wedding day!  All of our guests have commented on how lovely you both are and how everything ran so smoothly thanks to your organisation.   

The day was truly a fairytale and our whole stay in Malcesine was just magical.  We already cannot wait to come back (it is just a shame we will not be able to experience getting married in the castle again!!).   The registrar was absolutely fantastic and his words so sincere, and the folks at both the restaurant in which we had the toast and in Excelsior Bay for the reception  looked after us all tremendously.  We will never know how you all managed to make us feel so special even though you meet and work with so many wedding couples every year.  This will stay with us forever.

Gwen, the photos are completely amazing!  We are absolutely delighted with them and could not believe how quickly you got the CD to us (thanks so much).  We do not think we will ever get tired of looking at them (but it will be so, so difficult to choose the prints!!).   All of our friends and family have been commenting on how exceptional they are.

Laura, on the day of the wedding you managed everybody with such ease and in such a joyful and kind manner – the guests (and us!) felt so looked after and reassured.  Thank you.

There is no doubt that you both went beyond the call of duty in order to make the day extra special and we will be forever grateful.  The day was truly the happiest of our lives.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and hope to see you again.

Love from Samantha and Darren x x x

 

Julie & Craig, June 08 Malcesine

Dear Lake Garda Weddings, We had the most amazing magical wedding day. Thank you so much. You made our dreams come true! You were there to help us with our preparations evey step of the way. In the months leading up to our wedding you replied to our emails in a matter of hours, all our questions and concerns were answered (sometimes at 6am!) and nothing we asked for was too much.  Everything about our wedding day was perfect. The ceremony was beautiful. The registrar w as lovely. The water colour is already in a frame on our bedroom wall! Pam you were brilliant., helping me choose the flowers, booking me a manicure at the last minute to even dressing in black and white to go with our colour theme - we couldn't have asked for more. You even managed to keep all of the guests under control! Janey is still wondering how you got thecorsage I forgot to us so quickly! Gwen, I love the photos. They are beautiful. So many people have commented on how good they are. And thank you so much for coming to the Excelsior and capturing us in the lake (one of my favourites). The ones of the first dance are brilliant too! The service and meal at the Excelsior Bay were excellent. I think everybody had 2 vodka sorbets and 2 portions of beef! So many of our guests commented on how good the food was. The DJ was great too. He managed to play so many of the songs that we had requested.  And please pass on our thanks to Sergio at La Pace. The meal we had before the wedding was so good. Everybody enjoyed the cake. Grandpa loved his tuk tuk ride too! We cannot thank you enough. You are truly fantastic at what you do. We are already planning our trip to Malcesine with Rex next year. Its such a gorgoeous place and will always hold special memories for us.  Take care and we hope to see you next year, Love Craig & Julie

 

Jillian and Ian, June 08, Malcesine

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

 

We just wanted to take a moment to email you and thank you so much for all your hard work in helping us to plan our wedding – we can’t believe it’s two weeks ago already!

 

Right from the start, you were so helpful – always finding the time to answer any email queries that we had.  We’ve told everyone how less stressful it was to organise a trip abroad than to organise a wedding here – a lot easier than we had thought it could be.  It was wonderful to finally meet you the first week of our holiday, and you both made us feel completely at ease with the whole process, even arranging the flowers to be made into a table decoration for us rather than a bouquet, which we really appreciated.

 

The wedding itself was fantastic – so much more than we could have dreamed.  The photographs are stunning – our whole family thinks so – you really are a great photographer Gwen!  And it was really lovely having Pam as the translator – you did a great job too Pam!  The boat trip was wonderful, as was the champagne toast afterwards: we really felt that people couldn’t do enough for us, which made the day feel so special.  We would more than happily recommend you to anyone else who is looking to get married at Lake Garda.

 

So just let us say thank you again, and hopefully if we make our way back to Malcesine again (and I’m sure we will!) we’ll drop in and see you (and we can all go out for icecream!)

 

Best wishes,

Jillian and Ian

 

Jane & Richard, May 08, Malcesine

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

Richard and I would like to say a “big thank you” to you both for making our wedding day so special and memorable. Everything was perfect even the weather held out for us. When Richard and I began the wedding planning process back in August 2007 you made everything very easy, all our questions and worries were answered in a matter of hours via e-mail, which is reassuring when we were so far away.

Laura. I don’t know how you did it but you made both Richard and myself feel very calm and relaxed from the moment we meet you at our welcome meeting to the wedding day itself. Nothing was too much trouble for you, thank you!!

Gwen, thank goodness we took your advice and went with the Corsaro Restaurant to hold our wedding breakfast. It was beautiful, the setting was perfect. We were fortunate to be able hold the meal and disco on the outside terrace over looking the lake. We could never of imagined it to look they way did after our initial visit back in October 2007 when it was a rundown building.

 The food was amazing, I think out of our 40 guests only 3 managed to polish off the whole 9 courses. Please could you pass on our sincere thanks to Mario and his team at the Corsaro restaurant, they were brilliant. The presentation and the quality of the food was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for them, Mario even made alternative dishes for the guests who were not to keen on the fish course.

The photo’s are beautiful, thanks Gwen I don’t know how you did it but you some how made Richard and I look decent, as we are not the most photogenic of people. We are still trying to decide which ones to pick for our album, it is so hard as they are all perfect.

After speaking to our guests back home, they all thought the wedding was perfect and have fallen in love with Malcesine. I am sure they will all be returning in the very near future. Richard and I are in the process for booking our return trip for our wedding anniversary next year.

Once again “Thank You” you gave Richard and I the perfect wedding day and such wonderful memories we could only of dreamed about.  Lake Garda Weddings will hold a special place in our hearts and when anybody mentions they are getting married I will be quick to recommend yourselves.

Thank You

Good luck and best wishes for the future, we hope to see you in 2009  

 

Jacqui & Mike, June 08 Malcesine

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,   Molte Grazie!   What more can we say?!  We are sending our sincere thanks for making our day so special.  It was the most perfect wedding, in the perfect location.  After months of planning, it all came together so well.   After speaking with our guests, so many have commented on the fact that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to.  A true testimonial to Lake Garda Weddings!   We are putting the final details in place for a return trip to Malcesine in September.  We promise to pop in and hopefully arrange that glass of wine!   Our very best regards and wishing you a happy summer,   Jacqui & Mike xxx

Julie & Craig, June 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings, We are just writing to say a big thank you again for all your hard work that made Julie and Craig's wedding such a special day.  Thanks to you, their dream wedding became a perfect reality.     We are home now and trying to get back into the 'work' routine; as you can imagine, it is proving extremely difficult.  We are all still on cloud nine and wishing we were back in Italy.  We cannot stop telling our friends and colleagues what a wonderful time we had and how amazing the actual day was.  'Grandpa' arrived home a few days before us and by the time we landed back, he had shown his pictures to most residents of the town. He too really enjoyed his trip - especially the buggy ride!!  We have only briefly seen the happy couple since their return but Julie's comment was 'we had such a wonderful week in Malcesine that it was impossible for Sardinia to top it'.      We have spent an hour or two looking through the disc and the photos are all brilliant - so many to chose from!  We shall have a real problem choosing some to keep.  I think Julie and Craig are having prints of most, if not all, of them!   Many thanks and very best wishes to you both.   Sue and Peter (Bride's parents)

Sharon & Andrew, June 2008

Hi to everybody at Lake Garda Weddings.  We cannot thank you enough for the support and organisation you provided for our wedding on 17th June 2008.   We know that you do this many times each year but you still managed to make us feel special and that we were the only ones that mattered.   We would, and have, recommended your services to anybody else who is considering getting married overseas.   The photos taken by Gwen are outstanding and she managed to make the process fun and enjoyable and even made me (Andrew) look reasonably photogenic.!!  Everybody who has seen the photos has commented on how good they are.   The ceremony was beautiful and the registrar, despite officiating at hundreds of similar events, really sounded as though she meant every word and looked genuinely pleased for us Thank you for your patience, support and consideration prior to, and during, the whole day.  You made the day very special and made us feel special too.  If you treat everybody like you treated us, then they will all feel unique and as if they had brought an extra friend from the UK.   We cannot thank you enough.  We will never forget our wedding in Malcesine and will be visiting again soon.   Andrew and Sharon Nolan

Wendy & Lawrence, June 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

I just wanted to take the time to thank you both so very much for all your help over the past 8 mths and especially for making Lawrence and I have such a wonderful day (despite the rain).

You were both so professional and efficient trying tomake us feel at ease - I know it wasnt easy especially for lawrence as he tends to be a very private man - you were both wonderful.

After the great boat trip and the champagne! Lawrence relaxed a lot more and finally was enjoying the attention at La Pace restaurant later on.

We both feel that we couldnt have had a better wedding day - thanks to you both- I cant stop talking about it yet as it was magical for me.

thankyou so very very much - we have both been through many difficulties over the past 8 months but the day made up for it all.

No need to wish you luck for the future in your business as you could not improve on anything.

 

Best of our wishes to you all

Wendy & Lawrence

 

Irene & Richard  June 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

A big thank you for making our wedding at the Castello so very special………. everything was perfect. The castle is a magnificent venue for such a personal occasion and everybody was truly overwhelmed by the whole experience.       

 

Kind regards

Irene

 

Laura & Ben October 07

We cannot believe where the time has gone - we really should have emailed you sooner to say a HUGE thank your for helping us organise our wedding last year.  It really was magical and just about as stress free as a wedding could possibly be thanks to you and pam. There is so much i want to say but will try to keep it simple.
 
From the very first email we sent you we were met with efiicient, informative, friendly replies.  It seemed that no question was too stupid (and believe me i know i ask some stupid questions!).  You made the process so simple from start to finish and i hardly seemed to worry about anything at all and believe me for me that is not easy as i am a born worrier.
 
When we arrived in malcesine for our wedding we met with pam and we honestly think you are an angel!!!  You had everything under control, everything was organised to perfection.  On the day itself, well, i cannot believe how calm i was about everything.  things just ran like clockwork and flowed perfectly thanks to you both. 
 
Gwen, the photos are perfect!!!  we both hate having our photos taken but you managed to relax us and get soooooooooo many photos that we both love.  so many in fact that we still haven't put our album together as we can't decide which ones to choose as we love so many of them!
 
The setting of malcesine castle was perfect, the ceremony was perfect, the food on the harbour and the service from La Pace was perfect, and the 7 course meal at The Excelsior was out of this world!  Family and friends are still talking about how wonderful the whole day was.  Many saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to. 

We cannot thank you enough for all your help.  You both truely excel at what you do.  We had hoped to return this year for our 1st anniversary but given the fact that there will be a new and very young addition to the family it isn't possible but we will definately be back next year as malcesine will always be special to us and hold the most amazing memories.
 
Many thanks
love Laura and Ben Williams
 
ps. we also wanted to say thank you to Sergio at la Pace.  we ate there several times as a large group over the course of the week and always had a fantastic time (kind of took over the inside of the restaurant!)  the food was great and the service also.  Sergio gave us a cake, bubbly, the biggest party popper we'd ever seen, and tom jones

Lisa & Fran, June 08

Thank you for all that you did for us. We had a fantastic time, it was so special, Thank you again.

Lisa & Fran

Fiona & martin, June 08

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

Well what can we say, the most magical day ever......
Right from when we arrived for our welcome meeting (noting that Sergio found us walking through the town and thought we were lost, so he kindly showed us the way to your offices - ha ha) we felt completely at ease knowing that you had everything in hand!

Especially when we visited Laura the florist, who knew exactly what I was looking for and Sergio for supplying our special request of Cristal Champagne (he will never forget that).  Me and Martin were thinking of sending him a bottle to remind him and to also say thank you for our celebration dinner the night before the wedding, along with the best tasting cake, just for us - yummy!!

You all work so hard to make it special, and even though the weather was up and down, we both felt the day would be fabulous, and it was!!

All our guests kept saying that they would not be able to top our wedding, and everyone will be coming back next year for their holidays. Now and again, I think about the day and it brings tears to my eyes, both me and Martin felt like we had known you both for a very long time....
We are glad we have a great photo of you both and even more touched when our registrar kindly gave us the marriage script in Italian! We will certainly be framing that in our new home.....

We want to let everyone know who is thinking of taking their vows in Italy, do not hesitate you cannot get anything more beautiful than Malcesine... For those girlies that worry about carrying out their dresses, I was also concerned, but British Airways were fabulous with my dress and actually hung it up in their cupboard on the plane, along with the pilot and the crew congratulating us which was a lovely touch!

Arriverdeci for now, and keep up with the good work...

Ciao Ciao
Fiona & Martin

Karen & Stuart, May 2008

Hi Gwen,

Both Stuart and I would like to thank you and your team very very much for all your help in making our special day so magnificent.  Everything ran so smoothly and our day was just perfect. The weather, surroundings, boat trip, reception, photographs were all fantastic..  We certainly would have no hesitation in recommending Lake Garda Weddings to others – a day that will never be forgotten.

Thanks again

Karen and Stuart

 

Nicky & Nick, June 2008

 
We just wanted to thank both you for all of the work you both did before during and after the wedding. The help and support you both gave throughout really did help us get exactly the kind of perfect day we wanted.
 
On another positive note the restaurant Le Pace was sublime. The location was absolutely perfect, and the waiters and waitresses could not have been more helpful and friendly, even in over the next few days when we saw them. Everyone said the food was excellent, and the effort they put in to making the vegetarian option was also great, my brother thoroughly approved! Even the small details of the table decorations were perfect. The manager was also brilliant fun, although he didnt speak a vast amount of English he would always come and say hi if he ever saw us around and about in Malcesine.
 
The florist was also lovely, the bouquet was beautiful and she captured exactly what we wanted.
 
Again, we just want to thank all at Lake Garda Weddings for providing us with a memory that will last with us forever. Not only was the organisation and control there, but you also showed a great level of compassion and understanding about all the things that were important to us.
 
If you ever wish to get any of your future customers to speak to us for reassurance then we would be more than happy to sing your praises!
 
So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making the event and the day so special, and I hope you make many more couples as happy as us.
 
Thanks
 
Nick and Nicky
 

Claire & Andy June 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,
 
Thank you for making our special day the best day ever. I kept having people ask if I was stressed out about the day etc. but thanks to you both it was a completely stress free run up to the wedding and thanks to Pam on the day it all ran so smoothly with nothing to think about other than enjoying the big day. It was a magical day and Malcesine will always hold a very special place in our hearts, and I think most of our guests - they all had a brilliant day too. I can't say thank you enough for making it day to never forget.
 
Clare & Andy x

Richard & Natalie   May 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings, ,   Sorry for the late reply, we've been busy sorting out our Wedding Party which was on Saturday, and been back to work :-(   We just wanted to thank you and Laura for all the help you gave us on while we we're in Malcesine. The day couldn't have been any better or gone any smoother. It was exactly what we wanted, simple and no fuss. All of our families also really enjoyed themselves and were impressed with how smoothly it all went. The photos look fantastic and there are tons of them to choose from as well. We spent a few evenings going through them and choosing our favourites.    We had the most amazing time and can't wait to come back to Lake Garda for a holiday.   Thanks once again for all your help.

 

Nicky & Mike May 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings, I just wanted to write to say the biggest thank you for all that you did for our wedding day!  The whole day was absolutely perfect, and completely seamless - Mike and I didn't have to worry about a thing, and therefore had the most enjoyable day of our lives.  All your hard work made our perfect day the best imaginable, and in the most beautiful surroundings.  You made us feel at ease from the moment we met you, and made us able to relax about everything, and just enjoy the day.   All our guests are still talking about the wedding, and saying how wonderful the day was, and this was down to the effort and care and attention to detail given by you and all of your team over the months previous - and this showed throughout the day, every detail was taken care of, and every eventuality thought of!   I would recommend you to anyone - i had the most stress free and beautiful wedding, and thoroughly enjoyed every magical moment of our day - it was everything we dreamed of and more!  The pictures you took have truly captured the memories we have, and we will treasure these for ever!    We couldn't have dreamt of a more fantastic day, and we couldn't have had it without you both, so thank you so much for everything you did to make it happen!   Nicky & Mike

Alex & Dave, April 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,
 
We are finally back down off of 'cloud 9' following our big day at Malcesine Castle. I could rattle on for hours, but will try to keep this as brief as possible.
 
In a nutshell, we struck gold with Lake Garda Weddings and cannot thank Gwen, Pam and the team enough. Our day far exceeded my ridiculously high expectations.
 
You put my mind at rest the moment we met, We cannot fault anything whatsoever and had the absolute time of our lives. Everything was timed to perfection and the day just ran like clockwork. Never before have I ever had to suffer from cheek ache, from smiling and laughing so much!
 
Gwen - you deserve a medal for your success in capturing my husband looking comfortable in front of a camera!! Our 858 photos are amazing and will continue to reduce me to tears of joy for years to come.
 
The lakeside toast and nibbles were to die for, and hubby and I cherished our time out together on our private speedboat ride. As for our 6 course wedding breakfast at the Excelsior. Each course literally topped the scale, and we were quite amazed that our guests were able pick themselves up afterwards to dance the night away to the band!
 
It was a delight to share our day with you and the team and not forgetting another thank you - to the town of Malcesine, for letting us borrow you for the day!! 
 
Alex & Dave

We hope to see you next year for our anniversary.

Stefanie and Anton

Apologies in the delay for writing this - I don't know where the time has gone since we got back.
We would just like to thank you and the team so much for making our wedding such a fantastic day - one that we will never forget.
Everything about the day was perfect, we couldn't have hoped for more - and it was all down to you and the team.
All our guests are still raving about it!
The photos are fantastic too - the perfect momentos of the day.
We hope to get back to Torri next year for our 1st anniversary.

Thanks again for all your help - we couldn't have done it without you

Sue & Jeremy, April 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,   Jeremy and I have just returned from our honeymoon and our feet have finally touched the ground after 3 weeks away from home.   We just wanted to say thank you for helping to make our wedding a truly amazing and magical day.  Everything about it was perfect from the way the weather cleared just before the ceremony to our beautiful photographs that Gwen took, which we are having great difficulties in choosing 40 for our album.  Thanks also to Pam for helping Jeremy with his cravat when he most needed help!  Our guests really enjoyed the day and agreed that much fun was had by all.         Sue & Jeremy  

Jennifer & Jon May 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,
 
Jon and I have arrived home today after a long drive back.
 
We had an absolutely brilliant week in Malcesine and you really did make our wedding day perfect!  We have had a quick glance through the pictures tonight and they are all fab, we are over the moon with them!
 
Thank you very very much once again, all of your efforts made our special day so wonderful.
 
Love Jen & Jon Chilton!

Emma & Greg, April 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

Cant believe we have been married for almost 3 weeks now!

We both want to say a big thank you for all your help and planning to make our day as special and as happy as it was.  Everything fell perfectly in place (even the weather!) we didn’t have to worry about a thing.  Your hard work did not go un noticed, all our family and friends commented on what a beautiful wedding we had.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

All our thanks
Emma and Greg

Amy & Darrel, April 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

We would like to thank both you so so much for everthing you have done, to make our wedding the most special day of our lifes, everything was fantastic and we couldn't of done it without you.  We didn't have to worry about anything, you were totally in control, which meant we could enjoy it all.  We really did have the best day ever and still can't believe how smoothly everything went from start to finish.  We didn't want the day to end and the weather was just unbelievable, after all the rain in the lead up to our day!! The organisation from yourself was absolutely amazing and you are a truly an expert in photography Gwen, the range of shots from formal to fun, colour and black and white are just perfect, not sure how we will choose a selection for our album! Everything inlcuding the hotel you recommended and our reception at the Excelsior Bay was just perfect, if we had to do it all again (which I hope we won't!), I can not think of another company that would do us so proud, we will never forget what you did and when we come back next we would love to take you all out for a meal to thank you properly.  All of our Love the Braisbys XXXX

Fiona & Graham, April 2008 Malcesine

Just finished viewing the fabulous photographs. It was so difficult to single out just 20 but we managed.

Thanks to you all once again for helping to make our day so wonderful, it was the best day of our lives and we are so glad we came to Malcesine. All our friends and family have not stopped talking about the great time they had too.   Looking forward to receiving our lovely prints soon   Kind regards to you all and we wish you a great year ahead  

Emma & Greg, April 2008 Malcesine

I'd just like to express my sincere thanks for your planning and overall comitment to my daughter Emma's wedding with Greg this past Saturday at Malcesine. It was a wonderful occassion from start to finish and I know everyone enjoyed it immensely. Thanks again, I'll certainly be recommending you to others.

Best Regards

Dean Soer (father of the bride)

 

Amy & Darrell April 2008 Malcesine

Just a quick note to thank you for all your help in making Amy and Darrell's wedding day such a special occasion.
It was all beautiful from start to finish, and even the weather was kind to us which was such a relief.
 
Everyone enjoyed the whole day, the service, the procession to the Excelsior Bay and the reception meal.
The first photos which you gave to Amy and Darrell were lovely, so looking forward to seeing the rest.
 
Perfection, thank you very much indeed.
 
Best wishes,
 
Susan and Philip Cale (Mother and Father of the bride)

Helen & Lawrence, August 2007, Malcesine

We feel a bit embarrassed that it has taken so long to say a huge, huge thank you to you both for making the wedding of our dreams possible last August.  The memories we have from that day are priceless.  And whenever the memories even start to fade, we have a wonderful portfolio of photos to help the memories come flooding back.  We still get compliments from guests about how incredible the Malcesine experience was.  And all of us (our guests and ourselves) have you to thank.

We absolutely love the photos!  We put together slideshows for our UK & Hong Kong wedding banquets and everyone was very impressed by them.   The photos are far better than our pictures from UK & HongKong banquets.


We wish you continued success in doing your wonderful work.  Your busy season is probably just about to start.  Please let us know if we can ever serve as a reference for you.  From Lawrence especially, it could be useful for your future American clients to hear about how the paperwork process went.  Perhaps it is even more relevant for your American clients who live in the UK (or anywhere outside the US).  The paperwork process can seem very overwhelming when described in writing, and hearing from someone that it is actually possible could be very reassuring.

Thank you for everything you did for us in giving us the perfect wedding.

Arron & Lucy, September 2007, Malcesine

Sorry it's been a while in coming, but both Lucy and myself wanted to thank you for all your assistance with our Wedding Day.

The venues, the staff, the weather were all fantastic and we've already recommended your services to an
acquaintance of Lucy .

Once again, a big thank you to everyone involved on the
day.

Suzanne & Gary, August 2007 Torri del Benaco

Hi Gwen and Debbie,
 
So sorry we have not emailed before now - almost 3 months since our wedding. It has been non-stop since we got home, with the house, Gary's mum, work, oh and a wedding reception as well!
 
We had the most amazing time on our wedding day and the whole two weeks we were there and honestly have not stopped talking about it since. My mum has told everyone she can think of that her daughter had the most romantic and perfect Italian wedding that anyone in the world would be proud to have had. I know she's my mum and she would say that but I agree.
 

Tim & Karen, September 2007 Torri Del Benaco

Thank you and Debbie so much for making it so easy and relaxed and just what we wnated and pictured it to be. The restaurant was fantastic (the best wedding food I've ever had buy a mile!) and everyone we dealt with were so accommodating and made us feel that everything was for us, rather than us fitting into a routine. I would reccommend gettting married this way to anyone, Torri in particular and Lake Garda Weddings specifically.

Firstly apologies for the sluggish response, but as soon as we were back from honeymoon it was straight into prep for our Brighton evening reception, about 100 people, cake, DJ, flowers, etc etc - We haven't made life easy for ourselves having two "halves" to it all!
  Just wanted to say many thanks for everything - all the pre-wedding lists and worries and changes were all forgotten, and the day itself went swimmingly - thank God the sun came out!
  And particular thanks from Karen for getting the dentist & dress sorted out before the wedding - that's where both of your local knowledge came into it's own!
  We have had everyone that was there say how lovely the day was - the boat trip in the sun, and the food was superb, and even stumbling out of Don Diego at 3am in our wedding finery!
  A few of us went to the Bardolino wine fest on the Monday after, which was great fun.

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,
 
Sorry for not being able to email you earlier, things have been a little hectic since Mike, Ceri and I have returned from Italy.
 
We just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you both for making our special day so perfect. I must admit we were initially apprehensive as we had never visited Malcesine previously and put a tremendous amount of trust in yourselves. But after our initial meeting with Pam and seeing the castle at long last all our fears were put aside. The day went perfectly, the castle was a fantastic location and definitely wowed our 25 guests who have all commented on how wonderful the day was and how smooth everything went.
 
We would also like to give a special thank you to Sergio at Pace who kindly lent us the wonderful blue API. Mike and I were truly honored to be the first couple to use it. We were taken back by Sergio's generosity and how wonderful it looked covered in Roses and bows by the florist on the day, I couldn't have arrived at the castle in a more spectacular style. The API was a fantastic unexpected addition to our day, Mike and I felt like filmstars owing to the API's entrance in Malcesine, the town seemed like it was at a standstill. Truly unforgetable were all the good wishes from everybody who waved and greeted us in Malcesine and made us feel so special, which we will never forget.
 
What can we say about the food! fantastic and lots of it in true Italian style, both the buffet at the castle which was stunning and the endless courses at Pace by Sergio and his staff.
 
Many thanks Gwen, for the stunning photographs and making two people who don't normally enjoy having their photo taken, feel totally relaxed. We are still deciding after going through all the CDs which ones to choose, a very difficult job as they are all so beautiful.
 
Thank you once again for making our day so spectacular!
 
Wishing you all the best for the future,
 
Karen and Mike Murray

Eleanor & Tom September 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,
 
We are now back from honeymoon & just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for everything you did for us, both leading up to the wedding & on our big day. We had the most amazing time. When people ask us how our wedding was we don't know how to capture the day in words. We were treated like royalty the whole day. It was so wonderful walking through the harbour with the crowds cheering & taking photos - we were true celebrities! The day was faultless & our guests have been raving about it ever since.
So thank you again for organising our special, magical day, the best day of our lives.
 
All the best,
 
Eleanor & Tom. 

 

 

Karen & Lee, September 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,
 
We just wanted to say thank you so much for making our special day like a dream come true!
As I kept saying over and over on the day (and have not stopped saying since) we could not have asked for anything more!
The whole day ran like clockwork from start to finish and we appreciate so much all the work that you both put into it.
Also we would appreciate if you could send our thanks to Sergio at La Pace for all their hard work each and every time we dined there! But especially on the wedding day the food was perfect and very filling!!!
 
Thanks again to you both and hope to see you again when we return

Laura & Sasha, September 2007

Hi to all at Lake Garda weddings!

Well,  we have finally landed back in the real world with a great big
thud! The last few weeks have been like a dream. Our wedding at
Malcesine Castle was perfect, the whole day infact was just amazing.


Gwen, we are still looking through all the pictures!..., you did a
great job and we are so happy with the photos! Thankyou muchly!

Laura & Sasha

 

Phil & Dave, September 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

 Hope ye’re both keeping well.  Just wanted to drop ye a line to say a huge thank you for organising such a brilliant day that went without a hitch.  The day itself just went way too fast and we both wish we could do it all over again (tomorrow!). 

 Pam, you’re a super organiser and you’re perfectly suited to your job you’re calm, relaxed, efficient and extremely friendly.  Not once did we have to worry about anything. Thanks very very much.  We really appreciate it. 

 Gwen, we loooove the photos, we can’t stop looking at them (more so me!).  You really captured the atmosphere on the day which is exactly what we wanted.  We’re going to be a while picking out the pictures but we’ll let you know asap. 

 So thanks again from the bottom of our hearts.  We had the best day ever and we’re never going to forget it.  We’d both highly recommend Lake Garda Weddings to anybody thinking of getting married in beautiful Malcesine on Lake Garda. 

 

 

 

Micheal & Sharon, August 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

thank you so much for our fairy tale wedding.  It by far surpassed our expectations, which were already high.

Everthing was perfect and went meticulously to plan. 
Debbie, you were great and made us feel like nothing was too much trouble.  Claude the hair dresser, what can I say....he was amazing.

We had our doubts abut Torri at first as most people seem to opt for Malcesine, but it wasn't avaialable when we booked.  We are so glad we went to Torri now.  It is just the loveiest place and we can't recommend it enough.  The restraunt was fabulous and the staff really helped to make our day special. 

All our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.  I feel sad watching the DVD because its over and I can't go back an do it all again!

Thank you both very much

Michael and Sharon

Pam, it was great having the pre weeding meeting with you, you cleared up all our queries and put us at ease!

Gwen, the pictures are amazing, I can’t stop looking at them and showing them to everyone.

I would recommend Lake Garda Weddings to everyone, you made us feel like ours was the only weeding that you were planning.

Love n Hugs

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

We just thought we'd drop you a quick line to say thanks to you and Debbie for everything you did for us for our wedding in Torri. The whole day was amazing and couldn't have gone any better. Everything was superb, the Castle, the Boat Trip, the Photos and the restaurant were all fantastic but combined made our day an unforgettable one.

Matthew & Nicola , September 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

We can’t believe it’s been a week already since our wedding – at the time of writing this its been exactly a week since we stepped off the boat after our blissful champagne cruise!

We just wanted to drop you a note to thank you again for making our day so amazing. All of our 59 guests commented on how well the day was organised and how nice you both were – Pam you certainly deserved the place at the top table at the end of the reception, enjoying the dessert that was going spare! In fact many of our friends and relatives said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to – and that’s a testament to you both.

From the very first emails to you when we first enquired about getting married in Malcesine, right the way through to the day itself, we have had every confidence in your organisation.  The florist, violinist, bridal car, hairdresser, beautician, boat, band and everyone at the Excelsior Bay Hotel were first class.

Equally, the photos are amazing – you captured the day perfectly. You’ve just given us a hard job in going through the 700 photos to decide which to print. A hard job – but a nice job!

You both made the whole experience of getting married stress free and very very enjoyable - just how its meant to be, but not always the case when you're organising it all yourself if getting married back in England!

We’d certainly recommend you both to friends and family – we can't thank you enough.
Nicola & Matt

Sarah & Rich, September 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

Well we have arrived home from honeymoon and have had the best 2 weeks of our lives. The wedding was amazing, better than we ever imagined. I can't thank you and Pam (and rest of the crew) enough - you were brilliant and really made the day so very special - a magical fairytale to remember!!
Everyone had a fantastic time and some have already booked their holidays to malcesine for next year!!!

Thanks again for an amazing time
Best Wishes to you all
Sarah and Rich

 

Simon & Sarah, July 2007

Dear Gwen.

Sorry it has taken so long to get in touch, time has flown by since we got back. We just wanted to write a big thank you for arranging our wedding. We had a truly amazing dy and it was exactly what we had dreamed of. It was so great to be able to enjoy the day with our family and friends and not have to worry about a thing. You were fantastic, and everything went so smoothly. We love all the photos and you did such a great job of avoiding Simon's bad choice of socks!.

Thanks once again for making our day so perfect.

Simon & Sarah Baily

Melanie & Nick, August 2007
 
Nick and I have just returned from our honeymoon in Sorrento and just wanted to a drop you a line to say thanks again for our wonderful wedding. Everything about it was amazing, from the ceremony location to the toast at La Pace, the boat trip and the gorgeous food at Vecchia. Many of our friends have said it is the best wedding they have ever been to (which is no mean feat as we have had around 7 this year!!). We have just had a look through the pictures and don't know how we are going to pick from them - there are just so many.
 
So thanks again to you and your team for making things so easy and stress-free. We'll get back to you soon with our choice of pictures.  
Best wishes
 
Melanie and Nick

Lisa & Franco

What can we say that hasn't been said before?  It was a dream wedding organised by a dream team!!  The photos are brilliant, Pam was wonderful, you both seemed like friends sharing the day with us.  Everyone had a fantastic time and the boat trip was the iciing on the cake.  The Excelsior Bay excelled themselves with the room and food - we can't praise them enough - the band were excellent and my bouquet was exquisite and it was amazing when the florist came to see us - it really made you feel so special - and felt as if we were appearing in a film in which we were the stars. It feels like a dream but one we will remember forever.  Lisa and Franco  
Seb & Helen, August 2007 Malcesine

Gwen and Pam,

 

Lisa & Franco, August 2007

Thankyou both for everything, I was so confident in your abilities but you far exceeded my expectations!  No words can express our gratitude - you were both brilliant. Pauline (Bride's mother)

Julie & David, August 2007

Dear Gwen

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you so much for organising a fantastic day at Malcesine and making our wedding so special.  Your meticulous planning and attention to detail ensured that everything went perfectly on the day. 

The pre-wedding meeting in Malcesine where we were able to take photos to the florist and to the hairdresser, give place settings and meet with the staff at La Pace and run through the route to the castle and the finer details of the outside ceremony really helped us to relax and look forward to the wedding, safe in the knowledge that everything was taken care of.  On the day itself your presence throughout ensured that everything ran seamlessly.

The castle in Malcesine offers a stunning location for a wedding.  During the ceremony, the classical music played by the musicians sounded beautiful and glancing down at the little cobbled town, the clear waters of Lake Garda and the mountain range, we couldn’t have asked for more!  The registrar and Tania, the interpreter were very efficient, smiley and friendly and really looked like they were enjoying the ceremony as much as us! The locals also seem to enjoy weddings in Malcesine, as evidenced by the way they came out of their shops, cafes and restaurants clapping and smiling as we walked through the town.  This made us feel special-as if everyone around us was also enjoying the wedding day!

We would appreciate it if you could pass on our thanks and compliments to the staff at La Pace.  The lakeside drinks with canapés and the wedding lunch were outstanding-the champagne kept on flowing throughout and we lost count of how many different delicious dishes arrived at the tables!  This was appreciated by all!

The boat trip was fantastic.  We all enjoyed relaxing and enjoying the breeze as we sailed around the lake, taking in the stunning scenery whilst enjoying our champagne.

Could you also pass on our thanks to the florist for the beautiful flower arrangements, button holes, and bridal and bridesmaid bouquets.  My bridal bouquet matched the photo I gave to the florist perfectly!  I also enjoyed visiting the hairdresser on the morning before the ceremony, as she was very efficient and closely followed the style on the photos I had brought.  Also, not forgetting the bridal car which was lovely and arrived on time-please pass on my thanks to the driver.

Every single guest expressed how much they had enjoyed the day and are still talking about it a month afterwards.  We would both love to do it all again!  We are looking forward to receiving the CD with the photos you took throughout the day, as, judging by the sample of photos you have placed on your website, these look to be of a very high standard.

Once again, thank you very much Gwen and your team for all your hard work.  We would highly recommend Lake Garda Weddings to any couple wishing to have a beautiful, memorable wedding day without the time consuming business of organising it all themselves! We will definitely be coming back to Malcesine for our anniversaries, when, no doubt, we will be sure to see other couples enjoying a magical day.

With very best wishes

Julie and David

 

 

 

 

 

Linda & Jim, Malcesine Castle August 2007

Well, we have finally left Malcesine and are now back to reality
unfortunately. We just wanted to say thank you again for organising what was an amazing day and one we will remember forever. By using your company we got exactly what we wanted - a stress free wedding in a gorgeous setting, where we could just relax and enjoy the day. The day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and thanks to your excellent
efficiency, everything ran like clockwork and we didn't need to worry about a thing.

Walking through the streets was an unforgettable experience, all of the boys totally loved the attention they received with their kilts!

Please pass on our thanks to Becky and Tanya whose help on the day was invaluable, and also to the florists, beautician and hairdressers - they were all brilliant. Sergio and his staff at La Pace are wonderful and made us feel so welcome, and the staff at the Excelsior Bay were extremely efficient and the food amazing.

We just can't believe that its now all over, we could do it all again! At least we have your fabulous photos to remind us of a great day.  I am so glad we let you choose which ones to print for us - they are all so good we would never have been able to choose!

We will probably bump into you again, as I'm sure there will be many return trips to Malcesine!

 

Steve & Kim, August 2007

Dear Gwen.

We would both like to thank you so much for our wonderful wedding in Scaglieri Castle, Malcesine last week.

The organisation, effort and skill that you put into our sensational day made everything appear seamless and everyone, including ourselves, absolutely loved every minute.  Even Pam's special 'Sun Dance' worked a treat!

Perhaps the best way to describe our day, is to use the words of my dad, 'I can safely say this is the best wedding I have ever been to. The location, organisation and food are, quite simply, second to none'.

The photographs too are absolutely superb. Whilst the formal photos capture the occasion perfectly for everyone, it is the informal, relaxed style of the others that really bring back the wonderful memories of our special day to Kim and myself.

We are already planning next year's trip to Malcesine and hope to bump into you then!Regards

Steve & Kim

Dear Lake Garda Weddings

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for looking after us so well on our wedding day.  We have looked at our photographs and they are amazing, choosing only 40 will be no easy task, but we will let you know as soon as we decide!
Thank you for everything once again,
Yours gratefully, Mr & Mrs Howell!!! (otherwise known as Lee & Gareth)

Gail & Toby, June 2007

Neil & I would like to express our sincere gratitude for the extremely efficient and confident way in which you organised Gail & Toby's wedding last month. It was a wonderful day, which would have never gone so smoothly without your expert assistance. We would like also to thank your team for all your patience and hard work. The photos are lovely and will serve as an eduring reminder of a wonderfully happy day. Neil & Barbara Maurer (Bride's parents)

Chris & Carrie, May 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddigns
Just a quick note to say thank you once again for all your help and support back in May.  I am so sorry it has taken so long to write this but things have been very hectic ever since the wedding, we are teachers and so now the term has come to an end there is a bit more time for reflection!  The day has left us with many fond memories, prompted and enhanced by your wonderful photos, Gwen.  Everything went so well, I must say that I was a bit apprehensive before the day but as soon as the limo drew up and you phoned the driver to check where we were I knew that we were in good hands. Walking through the streets of Malcesine with Carrie on my arm was one of
the proudest moments of my life.  Everything went like clockwork, your hard work allowed us to relax and really enjoy the day which was superb from the arrival of that limo until the coach dropped us all back at the apartments at about two the next morning.  I wondered why Chris and Carrie wanted to go to Italy to get married, now I know!  You couldn't want for a more relaxed and happy atmosphere, people couldn't have been more helpful and supportive. I would be more than happy to endorse you and your company, please feel free to use any of this on your website/ publications.

Again, thank you so much for making the day so special, wishing you all the best for the future.
Linda and Martin Ventris-Field (bride's father)

From the moment we met Pam were were made to feel at ease and in very safe hands. Our photos are perfect, we are still deciding our favourites. I am so glad we decided to pick you help plan and share our special day. We will appreciate it forever. Thank you so much, Jo and Jamie

 

Zoe & Matt, June 2007

Hi Gwen,
A very belated thank you to both you and also the owner and staff at the Pace restaurant. Everybody involved in our wedding plans contributed to making it an absolutely wonderful day. Pam did a wonderful job in the few days before our event and as acting translator.The service and food at the Pace restaurant was brilliant (even if there was too much food!!). We had a wonderful time and all of our friends and family keep telling us how perfect it was!

We are really delighted with the pictures and will be in contact again soon to advise on our chosen 20 prints. I hope that is OK.

Once again, many many thanks and we can't wait to return to the wonderful Malcesine.
Kind regards Zoe & Matt

Just want to say what a wonderful day we had in Malcesine on our wedding day, it was much more than we expected it was perfect in every way.  Everyone who was there said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. You both were brilliant and the ceremony was just fantastic,   We will be recommending you to a few friends who are thinking of marrying in Italy, you have a very nice easy way about you both that made us feel at ease and very relaxed, thank you for that. 

Racheal & Neal, May 2007

Karl & Jane, June 2007

Hi Gwen   First of all I just wanted to say a massive thank you for arranging our wedding on June 30th - we had a fantastic day and it was just as chilled as we hoped it would be!  We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Malcesine and are planning to come back for our first wedding anniversary.  Weather in UK is mixed but the views just can't match Malcesine!  Once again a massive thank you! We'll remember our day forever!   Jane Rogers (nee Barnsley)

Charlene & Paul, June 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,
We just wanted to say a massive thank-you for such a fantastic day.  You both made everything seem so simple for us.  The photos are brilliant, it has taken days to decide which ones to print off to add to our album.  The food at Excelsior Bay and during the champagne toast was delicious.  The flowers were great, I was disappointed when I had to throw them away as they looked so beautiful.
Whenever I think back to the day all I can do is smile and thats down to you and Pam making sure that everything that we wanted was achieved.
Thanks again
Charlene and Paul Tyreman

Clare & Paul, June 2007

Hi Gwen,
Just had to write to say a massive thank you for a truly amazing day. It exceeded all of my expectations. From start to finish we were totally relaxed which meant that we could concentrate on having fun! We could not have wished for a better wedding day. The photographs are amazing and will always remind us of our
chic Italian wedding! All of our guests were blown away with Malcesine and I am positive that many of them will be returning in the future, as will we.
Lots of love and thanks, Mr and Mrs Basleigh! (Clare and Paul)

Adrian + Louise. June 2007

To Gwen and Tanya
Thank you so much for making our day so special. The wedding we had was exactly what we wanted and it is all down to you guys, so thank you.
From our first meeting with you, our minds were put at ease and we knew it was going to be great. The weather was fantastic, so the ceremony at the castle was just beautiful. We loved the boat trip too, as this broke up any formality to the day and was a relaxing and fun thing to do.
The Excelsior Bay Hotel were fantastic too. They were so friendly and definitely value for money. The wedding lunch was excellent, with a beautiful setting. We couldn’t fault their service at all.
And the photo's!!! How are we meant to choose?? They are all so good, thank you Gwen.
So, as you can probably tell, we are really happy with the way things went and cant thank you enough.

Best wishes

Adrian & Louise

Kieren & Debbie, June 2007

Hi Gwen
Thank you for making our wedding day so special it was fantastic from start to finish. Everybody really enjoyed the day from the wedding to the lakeside bar, the boat trip and the meal at the Excelsor Bay. The food there was fantastic and the staff couldn't do enough for us and our guests they deserved a gold medal. All our guests were catered for including the vegetarians and people with food allergys nothing was to much for the staff.
We arrived home today and our photo's were waiting for us they are brilliant. I can highly recommend getting married in Malcesine to anyone especially when we landed back in England today to the rain!!!
Thank you once again x

Thanks again

Kieran and Deb

Laura & Dewi,  June 2007

I dont really know where to start or how to put into words what a truely magical wedding day we had. The day really couldn't have gone any better, it was much more than we had hoped for, everything went like clockwork and it was all just amazing! Everybody had a fantastic time and are all still talking about what a wonderfull day it was.  Could you possibly pass on our thanks as well to the florists, the flowers were absolutely beautfull and just how I had imagined. The hairdresser was also fantastic and did a wonderfull job. Gwen, the photos are beautifull and thank you for all your help in the months running up to the wedding and replying to our countless emails! The two of you make a great team and made our wedding day perfect. The reception at the Excelsior Bay Hotel was wonderfull, the staff were great, so friendly and they really couldn't do enough to help. The food was fantastic and the venue was lovely. A HUGE THANK YOU for everything, we will definately recomend you to everybody we meet!!   Lots of love   Dewi and Laura x  

Chet & Annalisa, June 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,   Can I just Say now were back to normal life that we had the most amazing day, Better than any of us could have imagined.  To say the day went perfectly would be an understatement. People haven't stopped talking about it and everyone had an amazing day. From the boats to the Castle, the Champagne toast in the courtyard and walking through Malcesine, and the Dinner at the hotel.. All was absolutely fantastic.   Thanks you so much for all your help and assistance and the months we've been working together planning it all.   We'll send some pictures over shortly.   thanks from the both of us once again,     Chet & Annalisa    

Genene & Billy, June 2008

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

  I just wanted to write and thank you for such a wonderful day. The photo's are fantastic and the day could not have gone better. I will add a comment to your web-site later today.   The restaurant where we had our meal could also not have been better. Sergio and his waiters were brilliant and they even went to the castle to get ice-cream for the desserts which were out of this world - I did not think I could eat any more but I managed to polish that off!!   This is my first day back at work but I am still on a high from it all. Thank you for everything it was truly magical.  

Judith & Jeremy,  May 2007

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you Gwen for all your kindness, friendliness, superb organising, relaxed and fun attitudes that resulted in our wedding day being so perfect and magical. As soon as Jeremy and I met you both Gwen when we arrived in Italy, we knew that we had made the right decision to get married in beautiful Malcesine, with such wonderful wedding planners and that you would make the day so so special. Our day was so much fun and such a perfect day Gwen and we honestly believe that it would not have been so magical without you and Pam working so hard to make it relaxed, fun and wonderful. We wouldn’t change anything about our day and we cannot thank you enough and are eternally grateful. It felt like youere so much part of the day which and we cannot wait to come out to Malcesine soon and we would love, if you don’t mind, to take you and Pam out for dinner to thank you personally. We didn’t want you to go at the end of the day!! You are both truly wonderful lovely people that we feel fortunate enough to have met and to have shared our wedding day with you both. We would very much love to keep in contact and see you both again.
 
Gwen your photographs are fantastic and exactly what we wished for – we cannot stop looking at them and kept looking at them on the internet when we were in the Caribbean – We also arrived back to your DVD’s of the photos Gwen which was lovely and despite travelling and not sleeping for nearly 27 hours we stayed up and looked through all the pictures – we had too!! They are wonderful Gwen and you so catch the moments of the day so beautifully and they tell the story which is lovely for everyone that didn’t come over with us and for us to look back on too. Everyone back here who has seen them on your site has commented on how lovely they are and I’ve already given your details out to 2 persons who are interested themselves in contacting you about a wedding in Italy.
 
We also had the DVD from the video man yesterday when we got back from work and that was lovely to look back upon as well and the DVD and your photos compliment each other so so well. Please thank him for us and also can I please ask if you can pass on our extreme appreciation and thanks to Pam, Eleanor (beautician), the florist (sorry her name has escaped me), the castle persons, the musicians, the restaurant staff and owner and everyone else who made our day so so special.
 
Also Gwen, can we also please thank you so so much for your kindness in organising the surprise champagne drinks on the harbour front – that was a lovely surprise and so kind of you and also Gwen thank you so much for the other drinks that you ever so kindly arranged at the restaurant for the cake toast– that was also very kind of you and a lovely surprise and went down very well– we cannot thank you enough and, I have to say that you have a fan for life in my father!!!!
 
Once again Gwen, so sorry about not e-mailing before. Like I said Gwen we cannot not thank you enough and we are recommending your company and services to everyone that we speak too – you are truly wonderful people who provide a fantastic personal service and you both MADE our day!!! It was lovely to meet you at last after months and months of e-mailing!!

Chris & Caroline, May 2007

Hi Gwen   We just wanted to say a thankyou for organising our wedding.  We had a perfect day.  The service we received was fantastic, from the florist to the staff at the Excelsior Bay.  We just wanted to especially pass on our thanks to Pam who was brilliant.  I think we both thought that having someone with us on the day may seem a liitle strange, but Pam seemed to fit in like part of the family and our children loved her.    So a big thankyou once again for everything   Regards   Caroline and Chris (Counsell)  

Shirley & Phil, April 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,
Sorry its taken us so long to  leave you a comment but its been very hard to express in words how happy we are about how fabulous our wedding day turned out, it was perfect, Our guests cannot stop raving about how beautiful the whole day was and how lucky we we're to have such a good service provided by you, no request was too small or too big and everything we wanted turned out better than we expected. We were anxious about getting married abroad but because of you we had a wedding so beautiful, nothing at home could ever compare and how we have to pick 40 pictures out of 1000 how difficult it is going to be...but again we found unbelievable you gave all the pictures on cd to bring home, no where in Ireland would you have this service....
We would also like to thank the Excelsior Bay Hotel for all the extras they provided us with again no request was a problem , the food was beautiful and the wine just kept coming, the staff we very efficient and friendly. Last of all the band were brill nobody wanted the night to end........ we could go on and on  but I think we've said enough.
Thanks a million
Shirley and Phil

Julie & Ian, May 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings, Just a little note to say thank you so much for organising our wedding so well. We really had a perfect day and all our guests had a wonderfull time too. We couldn't have dreamt of a better day or a better place to get married. Love, Julie & Ian

Mairi & Andrew, May 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,   Now we are back home and have time to write to say thank-you for a wonderful day at the Castle in Malcesine. You both worked really hard to make it a day we will remember for a long time. From the lovely ceremony, to the photo's, which are fantastic - there are so many to choose from, it will be difficult to decide which to put in our album. Then on to the restaurant, the food was excellent and the staff were really friendly. I could go on, but suffice to say, you both gave us the day that we had hoped for, and for that we are truely grateful.   All our best to you both,   Mairi & Andrew

Claire & Justin, May 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

From the moment I saw the photos on the website, through the excitement of booking & carrying out the various formalities, Lake Garda Weddings met all of our expectations & more.  Gwen & Pam went out of their way to make everything easy & relaxed, making our special day just 'perfect'.  Gwen the photos are amazing & thanks so much to Pam, for all your help, it was very much appreciated.  As was your lovely present for Jack. I will continue to recommend Lake Garda Weddings to everyone. Warmest, sincere thanks to you both, Claire, Justin & Jack XXX

Kevin & Clair, May 2007

Dear Lake Garda Weddings,

What can we say but a huge thank you to you both for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. Pam, thank you for putting our minds at rest from the moment we met you. We were very impressed by the total understanding you had of how we wanted our wedding day to be, everything was organised and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We both just relaxed and waited for the big day to arrive and what a day....    WOW! What more can we say, lots of nerves, tears and laughter!! The day was perfect, just what we wanted, relaxed and informal with everyone enjoying themselves.Gwen, the photos are fantastic, they capture the story of the day as it unfolded perfectly, they are so natural and fun and so many to look at!! All our guests fell in love with the area, a perfect setting for a wedding. The champagne reception and meal at La Pace was excellent, situated on the waters edge watching the sunset was again unforgettable, the wine was flowing (along with the tears) and the food fantastic. Sergio and the staff at La Pace were extremely friendly and couldn't do enough for us, we had a guest with an egg allergy and they made a special meal for her... not a problem, whatever we wanted they provided. We are now looking forward to receiving the wedding video, if it's anything like the photos it will be great. We have had so many people ask us about the wedding and have told them to look at your website, we would have no problem recommending a wedding in Malcesine, your services and La Pace. It was simply the best!   Thank you once again love Kevin and Clair Southam

Christopher & Angela, May 2007

Many thanks to Gwen for organising an unforgettable day, you took all the stress out it.  A glass of prosecco was never too far away!!  Despite the weather we had a fantastic time.  The location was stunning and we are still grinning.  We were made to feel very welcome by everybody we met.  Grazie mille

Laura & Matthew, May 2007

Unfortunately we are back in the UK.  I love the photos, they are all really nice. Just wanted to thank you again for making our wedding day so special. It was a fantastic day and everybody loved it. My friends are still crying when they speak about it!!!!!!!

Anyway thanks again……

 

 

Suzanne & Tony, May 2007

Thanks very much to Gwen , for organising our wedding in Malcesine. We had a fantastic day and so did all our guests, who said it was the best wedding they had ever been too !!   The setting at Malcesine castle was fantastic, and the photos taken by Gwen are brilliant and really capture the feeling of the whole day !   Gwen and Pam helped us to plan the whole day,  and the day itself was really relaxing and not stressful at all.   The champagne reception at the lake side and the meal in La Pace were also excellent, and everyone enjoyed the gorgeous food and wine !   The day went to fast, and we had a fantastic time !  And I would recommend Lake Garda Weddings if you are considering getting married abroad !   thanks so much, Suzanne and Tony

Kirsty & Rob, July 2006,Malcsesine Castle

Dear Gwen and Sarah

This is very long overdue but my husband Robbie and I would like to thank you for the wonderful wedding you arranged for Kirsty and Rob in July 2006, it was a magical occasion and everyone is still talking about it.  When Kirsty first said that she wanted a wedding we were a bit apprehensive but that was what they wanted, how wrong we were to worry.  We have given your E mail address to many of our friends who have children about to marry and have told them there is no other way to do it!!!!!  To have everything tailor made to what the bride and groom want makes it so special.  I couldn't say what we enjoyed the most, from the actual ceremony to walking from the castle to the boat, the Excelsior Hotel was wonderful and that wedding cake mmmmmm!!!! it was the most incredible experience the whole day. Good luck to you both in everything you do you certainly deserve it.  Thank you once again.    Kathy.

David & Laura, August 2006, Malcesine Castle

Hello Gwen and Sarah, My wife and I would like to say thank you for the most amazing day in our lives. Not only did we both love every minute thanks to your professional, reassuring approach but each member of both families stated it was one of the best weddings they have ever seen. The castle at Malcesine is an astounding venue and to have local people hugging and blessing us as we made our way to the Hotel Excelsior Bay will stay in our minds forever. The food, service and setting of the Hotel Excelsior Bay didn't just live up to our dreams but surpassed them. When we discuss the day all you can do is smile. It was perfect. Thank you!

Emma & Rob, August 2006,Malcsesine Castle

Thanks for all your help with alll the plans. We truly did have a fanstastic day in August and we were so very impressed with your kindness ad attention to detail.

(message from family member)

Emma & Niel,July 2006, Malcesine Castle

Firstly, we would both like to thank both Sarah & yourself for ensuring we had a fantastic day in a beautiful setting. It was great to be able to really enjoy the day & fully appreciate everything that was going on, without the worry & hassles that often occur at weddings. Your attention to detail & organisation before the big day was first class.   All of our guests commented on how smoothly the day went & how much more relaxed it was compared to weddings in the UK. Everyone throuroghly enjoyed themselves & some have already booked their holidays in Lake Garda next year! Maybe you should get commission from the Garda tourist board!!   The photos are brilliant & really captured the day perfectly. Friends who could not make it to Italy have commented on how fantastic it all looked. You've even managed to make us look like we are on a photo shoot for Hello or OK magazine!   So now the second point - the photos. What a nightmare trying to narrow down from so many great photos.

Liz & Dan, August 2006, Malcesine Castle

We cant begin to thank you enough for our wonderful wedding, the whole day was just so much fun!

From my dad & I walking through the streets together to the castle to all of our guests shouting 'More, More, More' at the band, not wanting the night to end.

It was everything that we wanted, the fairytale wedding with a laidback approach.

Malcesine castle is a perfect setting, the views are stunning, and we loved walking through the streets with all of our guests to the reception.

The Malcesine Hotel provided our guests with a fabulous champagne reception, as we jetted off on our speedboat for some alone time. Then onto the Excelsior bay for our evening reception & live band. The staff at the excelsior were excellent, very professional. The band were amazing, the range of music suited all of our 85 guests from the 2 yr old to Nan at 90. Not one person wasn’t on the dance floor. They provided us with such a good party. Highly recommended!!

Gwen & Sarah made sure that the whole day went so smoothly, giving advice all along the way, meeting up with us when we came to visit, really putting our minds at rest when we needed it. I even found myself e-mailing them asking what I should be doing, as I didn’t feel like the stressed out bride that id been told I would be, but came a calming reply of ‘no, no that’s what we’re here for’.

We wanted a simply wedding, where all of our family would enjoy themselves, perfect weather, perfect scenery, and it turned out to be just that and even more. A day we’ll definitely never forget. Thank You.

Liz & Dan. xxx

Alan & Leila, September 2006, Malcesine Castle

Sorry for the delay in sending our compliments, but we would like to thank you both for organising our wedding, that was an absolutely fantastic unforgettable day. As we told you we have been together for over 30 years but it was well worth waiting for this day,  & the photos that you've taken on the cd are stunning, it's been difficult to choose what photos to have ! if anyone is reading this & thinking of getting married in lake garda, then don't delay in using lake garda weddings, you will not be dissapointed. Thank you very much.

 

Geraldine & Jason, Malcesine Castle, September 2006

Gwen and Sarah were totally responsible for the magical wedding we had.  Everything went to plan and nothing was too much trouble for them.  Six weeks on and our guests are still talking about the amazing time they had and we will never forget it.  If you want a wedding abroad, look no further than Lake Garda Weddings!   Jason and Geraldine

Rachel & Danny, Malcesine Castle, September 2006

Choosing the location of our wedding was difficult, but the hardest thing was finding someone we trusted enough to plan one of the most days of our lives! We have been incredibly fortunate to find two wonderful young ladies who have planned every detail and answered every question – they helped to create an amazing day that will be remembered for it’s breath-taking scenery, romantic (and very tearful!) ceremony, mouth-watering food and one hell of a party!!

 

Lake Garda Weddings are a fantastic team - Gwen is a very talented photographer – and that means a lot coming from someone who hates having their picture taken! She makes you feel totally relaxed and really captures the moment. Sarah interpreted the ceremony for us brilliantly, took care of all of the paperwork and did a great job of keeping our clan together and making sure everything run smoothly – I just cannot fault them!

 

We stayed at the Miravalle Hotel in the centre of Riva Del Garda – the staff here were wonderful and their restaurant was out of this world!...you have to go there!!

 

On the day, we had our ceremony at the Malcesine Castle – absolutely stunning and so, so romantic! This was followed by a champagne boat trip around the lake which I am so glad we did because it gave our guests the chance to see Lake Garda in all its glory. Lake Garda really is a beautiful location and I can definitely recommend it to anyone. We’re going back next year for our 1st year anniversary, and no doubt, many more times after that!

 

…Thank you so much for an amazing day!”

 

Ceri & Anthony, September 2006, Malcesine Castle

Thank you so much for organising our wedding.  We are extremely glad we chose your company when deciding to get married in Italy. You made it all so easy and organised every last detail so we could just relax and enjoy what was the best day of our lives. Gwen, your pictures are fantastic and ones we will always cherish. Sarah, your organisational skills are second to none. 
Your experience clearly showed and we cannot thank you both enough for all the help and consideration you demonstrated throughout.  We would highly recommend Lake Garda Weddings to anyone wishing to get married in this beautiful part of the world.

With our very best wishes,

Ceri & Anthony

Rebecca & Gareth, August 2006, Malcesine Castle

Hi Gwen and Sarah

We've finally managed to come back to Earth after our amazing wedding in Malcesine. Sorry we haven't been in touch sooner to thank you for all of your help in making our wedding day so special. All of our friends and family constantly remind us of what stars you were - as if we need reminding! How can we forget?! We will recommend you to everybody, and indeed we already have! We had no stresses or panic from the moment we arrived in Lake Garda and most of that was down to you two. Everything we had hoped for had been take care of, well beyond what we had imagined - Perfect! We were particularly grateful that Sarah managed to keep a couple of slices of pizza for us, given 
the rabble at the reception (and all the champagne on the photo shoot!). We are so chuffed with the fantastic pictures - we found it really  hard to select 40 - hence the delay!

Sam & Alice, August 2006, Malcesine Castle

Just a quick note to thank you once again for making our wedding on Lake Garda perfect. Everything you did from the first time we met you to delvering our photos the next day was incredible. We couldn't have wished for two better people to ease us during the process. We wish you all the success in the world and will always have a special place in our hearts for you. Thanks again, lots of love Sam & Alice

Emma & Robert, August 2006, Malcesine  Castle

I write rather belatedly to thank you for your quite exceptional kindness following Jacqui's accident on 22/8. Jacqui subtained a quite severe dislotaction of her elbow as well as fractured wrist. This has required a fair bit of attention however the care Jacqui received in Italy at the outset was excellent. Without your support though, a difficult set of cercumstances would have been much more problematic. Apart from Jacqui's fall the wedding day was a wonderful success. Wish best wishes for the future, many thanks. Dan & Jacqui Harrett.

Nicky & Ashleigh, August 2006, Malcesine Castle

Our wedding was better than we could of ever imagined! The location, the scenery, the guests, the reception, the assistance from Gwen and Sarah etc Every single minute of the day was fantastic and we could not of planned it so well without the help of Gwen and Sarah. They are brilliant and helped our day run smoothly. Gwen the photos you have taken are out of this world
and all of our friends and family think so to. We really have no idea how we are going to choose 50 from the 930!! The ceremony was beautiful, the violin and keyboard are a must if you get married in the castle! The reception at Excelsior Bay was brilliant, the food was 11/10!! and the staff there were so friendly! The band in the evening were so good, we were a little worried, as we had not heard their music beforehand but would recommend them to anybody. Once again a big thank you to you both Gwen (or
Gwyn as Ash called you in his speech and apologises!!) and Sarah for all your hard work and making our dream day come true lots of love Nicky & Ashleigh Partridge xxx

Karen & Simon, September 2006, Malcesine Castle

Hi Gwen and Sarah,

Sorry it's taken us a while to get in touch, things have been really busy since we got back from honeymoon a week ago.

We had such a wonderful day, and we wanted to thank-you for all your advice, support and organisational expertise. I would most thoroughly recommend Lake Garda Weddings (and Malcesine) for a perfect wedding day.

Gwen, the photographs are beautiful - as two people who don't like having our photos taken, we are still amazed by how much we enjoyed the experience, how relaxed you made us feel, and how lovely the photos are. Your guidance on the day - 'do this, do that' - was spot on and really helped us, and combined with your knowledge of the castle (and which bits were best to use on such a sunny day) gave us the beautiful photographs we longed for.

Sarah, thank-you for explaining everything to us so wonderfully on the Friday before the wedding - after all my worrying, when I met you I felt relaxed and knew everything would work out. Thanks also for being on hand to answer all my texts before the wedding, and for enabling everything to run so smoothly on the day.

The people you work with are fantastic - Tiziana, Donatella, Lara, Maury, Leandro at Vecchia. Over here we could have spent months and months researching to try and find people able to provide services of a similar standard, but with Lake Garda Weddings, you get excellent service across the board without any of the hassle. I was thrilled with my hair and make-up (not to mention the manicure and pedicure!), and the flowers were beautiful. Maury was great fun on the day, and we can't wait to see the video. The meal at the restaurant was excellent - service, food, surroundings, all perfect. And we greatly apprectiated having the restaurant to ourselves for Prosecco and canapes.

As a final word, my advice to any couples using Lake Garda Weddings - don't worry about a single thing! With Gwen and Sarah on hand, your day will be wonderful, and with a setting as beautiful, you won't be disappointed. Look forward to your day, and enjoy every single minute - as we did.

Gwen and Sarah, thank-you so much for everything.

With our very best wishes,

Moira & Matt, September 2006, Malcesine Castle

To Gwen & Sarah,
We just want to say a massive thank-you for the part you played in  our wedding day! The day itself was beyond our expectations and was the most fantastic day of our lives!
everything went so smoothly thanks to your guidance and the photos are fantastic. all our guests had an amazing time and all commented on what a great team you and Sarah are. the boat trip was definitely a high point, a great chance to grab our breaths and relax into the day after the ceremony, and the prosecco defitnitely helped!!
The food and service at Excelsoir bay was exceptional and Marcello & his staff really looked after us. nothing was too much trouble.
So thank-you again for the best day in our lives!
our hearts will always be in Malcesine!
lots of love,
Moira & Matt.xx

Ellen & Micheal, September 2006, Malcesine Castle

Hi Gwen and Sarah Just to start of by saying THANK YOU for all your help and effort to make such a perfect wedding day for us.
Everyone had such a fantastic time and I had such fun and didn't have a care in the world with you on hand to look over the day and look after everything for us. The Hotel Excelsior was really fabulous, everyone really enjoyed the exceptional meal and commented on how well they were looked after and how nothing was too much trouble.
The pictures are really lovely and everyone who looks at them thinks they are out of this world, I hate all pictures of me but I actually like these ones, probably because you captured how happy I was on the day!!! Once again, thanks so much and I could not recommend you and your company highly enough to anyone wise enough to get married in Lake Garda, .... it was beyond perfect!! !!
Thanks and take care
Ellen & Michael
P.s Band were fab, they rocked (ha ha )...x

Fiona & Ian, August 2006 Malcesine Castle

Dear Gwen and Sarah,

Thank you so much for making our day so wonderful. We had been planning our wedding for so long and we were hoping for the best. It is difficult to arrange everything how you want it when you are so far away and you don't really know what to expect. You were lovely and you did so much more than I could have hoped for. I loved that I could choose my flowers and you gave me time
to choose some music. My photos are beautiful, again I was unsure what to expect and I never like photos of myself but I am so happy and the photos are natural, everyone has been very impressed.

Ian was always the optomist and kept telling me that everything would be 'fine'. I told him I did not want 'fine' I wanted 'spectacular' and it really was the best day ever. Thanks again and best wishes

    Fiona and Ian

Sarah & David, September 2006, Malcesine Castle

We would like to say a huge thank you for organising such a wondeful wedding day for us. It was absolutely fantastic and exceeded all our expectations!  You are both very good at what you do and organised everything to perfection. You made the whole day totally relaxing and fun for us and our guests. The meal and the service at the Excelsior Bay were excellent and our guests were commenting how it was the best meal they had ever had.  A few of us are thinking of asking for the same menu when we go back to malcesine for a holiday!!
Gwen - we are so pleased with the photos and amazed at how good we look!  I do not like cameras at all but you managed to capture some great photos.
Sarah - it was lovely having you there on the day and knowing that you had everything under control We would not hesitate recommending Lake Garda Weddings to anyone who is thinking
of having their wedding in Lake Garda. It really was a magical place to get married and we had the best day of our lives.

We have already booked a holiday in malcesine for next year so we hope we can catch up with you then!
Love
Sarah & Dave Johnson.x.

Sam & Alice, August 2006, Malcesine Castle

Lake Garda Weddings provided the perfect wedding for us, and made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. They are expert organisers, and know every detail about the Lake and its people. Lake Garda provides so many beautiful places to get married, and all your guests, young or old, will have an unforgettable time.I wholly recommend that if you've got as far as looking on this website, that you send Gwen an email and arrange to come out here and meet her. She can offer you the wedding of your dreams. Thanks again Gwen and Sarah - we're eternally grateful.
Lots of love, Sam and Alice xx

Luke & Deborah, July 2006, Malcesine Castle

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Gwen and Sarah for arranging the most amazing day. Although everything was in place before we arrived in Italy it was appreciated that Sarah met up with us a few days before the wedding and discussed finer details, this even involved visiting the local florist and hairdresser to ensure everything was planned to perfection! The whole day was like a dream with Sarah and Gwen on hand to ensure everything ran

smoothly and that all guests were having a good time. The photographs are beyond our expectations, Gwen has captured the mood of the day and we now have the task of choosing our favourites from the hundreds that were taken. Again a big thank you for your professional and friendly approach to making

our wedding the happiest day of our lives.

Luke & Debs

 

Jane & Charlie, July 2006, Malcesine Castle

Simply amazing! from start to finish we had the most unforgettable day of our life.  Gwen and Sarah organised the day down to the last detail and managed to take away all of the usual stresses both before and through out the day.  We have the most wonderful memories of the day - and thanks also to Gwen some fantastic photo's too... thank you Gwen and Sarah.

 

Stephen & Emma, June 2006, Malcesine Castle

Hi Gwen / Sarah,

So sorry for not communicating since our wedding and please accept that is purely due to lack of time. Anyway we would love to provide a testimonial for your website . . . and if the truth be known we would actually like to create a ‘whole new website’ as a testimonial to what was a ‘dream come true’ wedding !!!   More importantly everyone who came to the event (yes, all 50 of them !) have called us specifically since their return to the UK, to express their feelings about their experience.

We can sum the whole event up by  . . . . . WOW !

You truly created the most perfect wedding anyone could hope for and we cannot thank you enough and yes we know we still need to choose our photo’s  . . . (how do you choose ‘30’ from ‘700’ such fantastic photo’s) . . . and more importantly choose from what have been described as “absolutely amazing pictures” . .  . “like something out of OK magazine . . in fact better” . . . by our friends and family.

Many thanks once again and we will send you a more considered testimonial soon . . . .and yes we also intend to return on our anniversary . . . we will keep you posted.

Lots of love,

We have recently had some portraits of by award winning photographer ‘Lydia Taylor Jones LMPA BIPP’.

Lydia was in awe of the portfolio you selected for the web and even tried to imitate several poses during a recent wedding she was working at.

 

Gordon & Claire, August 2006 Malcesine Castle

Dear Gwen & Sarah,   Sorry for taking a while to get back to you but I've spent a bit of time thinking about this over the last couple of days and I am struggling to come up with the words to describe just how magical our day was.  It was absolutely perfect.   It really has been a pleasure dealing with you.  From the first meeting last year, right through to our wedding day, everything went exactly as it should have.  We cannot fault a single thing you have done.   Gwen, we'd like to thank you for making the photo session so enjoyable. We absolutely love the pictures, although I'm not sure how we are going to pick 40 of them as they are all so good.   I'd also like you to thank everyone at the Excelsior Bay Hotel for me. It was an excellent location for the reception and the food was by far the best I've ever tasted at a wedding reception.   I'll finish by saying I will be recommending you to everyone I speak to who is thinking about getting married.   Thank you again, Gordon & Claire.  

Amanda & Anthony, August 2006, Malcesine Castle

Dear Gwen and Sarah,

There are so many lovely things I want to say to thank you for such a wonderful and magical day. It was more than I could have ever asked for, simply perfect. At first, like most people, I was apprehensive about planning a wedding in a place I had never visited and had only seen pictures of on the internet, but I needn’t have worried. The views from the castle are second to none, it was just a dream come true.

The level of service you both offered was outstanding. Again, I was worried about planning a wedding with a company I happened to stumble across, but after meeting Sarah my mind was quickly put at ease. I had a clear idea of how I wanted certain details and I was so glad to find out my emails had been interpreted as I’d hoped. The attention to detail and precise planning made the day run smoothly. All of our guests commented on how there was never a dull moment and there was always something to look forward to, such as the boat trip, etc.

Gwen, the photographs are simply stunning, it might take a while for us to choose our favourites for the album. I am so happy with how they have turned out.

I have always wanted to get married in a castle and I definitely got the wedding of my dreams. For anybody trying to decide whether to book with Lake Garda Weddings and Malcesine Castle, I would recommend them without question.

Thank you again for such a wonderful day, one I will always remember.

Amanda and Anthony

 

Lucy & Daren, Malcesine Castle August 2006

Hi Sarah and Gwen,   Sorry it's taken us a while to email you. Thankyou so much for a perfect day. We really cannot put in to words how much ourselves and every single one of our guests enjoyed the day. As soon as we met Sarah a few days before the wedding to go through the day all my nerves and worries about getting married abroad melted away. You managed to make us feel totally calm and in control of everything. The day itself was more than perfect, getting married in Malcesine Castle was like a fairytale. The ceremony was just what we wanted, emotional and meaningful but still relaxed. The boat trip around the lake was brilliant and the reception was just amazing! The setting, food, music, tables....I could go on, it was just perfect. You were there for us and our guests throughout the day and before and after the wedding, you really are great at what you do, everything ran smoothly and seamlessley. We will never ever forget how your help made our wedding day so special. Now we've just got the 1000 pictures to keep us going!! Thankyou, and I hope if anyone reading this is trying to make a decision about where to get married, do it in Malcesine with Lake Garda Weddings, I promise you will have the best day ever!   Take Care Lucy and Daren Francis xxx

Lisa & Howard, Malcesine Castle  July 2006

Dear Gwen, Sarah and Pamela,

Both myself and Howard thought it only right to send you a few words thanking you all for making our recent wedding such a marvellous day.

From the very first e-mail, throughout the ceremony to the relaxing boat trip after, we cannot fault a single thing, with everything running like clockwork and your level of personal attention unfaltering at all times. You all have a marvellous natural ability to keep everyone relaxed on a potentially stressful day.

The photo’s that were taken were also fantastic and admired by all who have seen them.

We would most certainly have no hesitation at all to recommend Lake Garda Weddings for any couple contemplating getting married in such a beautiful location.

Once again, we would like to say a big thank you from Howard, myself and all of our guests.

Amanda & Anthony, Malcesine Castle August 2006

I was a guest at Amanda and Anthony's wedding. It was just perfect. I have just viewed their wedding photo's and they took my breath away. They are the best I have ever seen. It could easily be mistaken for a celebrity wedding. You have such a talent. Well done. Sarah also could not have been nicer.

Amanda & Micheal, Torri del Benaco July 2006

Thanks for your email, and thans for everythings, we had such a fantastic time I would recommend anyone to come to the resorts we went to and to use your company for the wedding- it all went so well - I am having my evening reception this weekend so at least have that to look forward to!

Thanks for everything

Laura  & Lenny, Malcesine Castle July 2006

Just wanted to say, once again, a realy  *big thank you* for all your help and support with regards to our wedding. It has been a really special day and one that we will always remember.

Lots of love, Laura & Lenny

Linzi & Shane, Malcesine Castle June 2006

Hello Gwen and Sarah   First of all a big thank you for everything you did on our wedding day - it was perfect!  There are no words to describe the day, it's such a shame it went by so quickly.  Having both of you there made things run effortlessly.  My main concern when first booking a wedding abroad was that not all of our friends and family could be there, so we wanted to have spectatcular photo's of the day so those who could not be there still felt like they were.  The photo's are amazing and made all of the difference, everyone has said how beautiful they are, even the ones who could not be there.  We took a risk getting married somewhere where we had never visited but by seeing your photography of other weddings put our minds at rest and we both new we had made the right decision.   You stayed in contact each step of the way and replyed quickly to any of my many questions via email.  Even when we arrived in Italy at our first meeting a few days before the big day,you quickly put our nerves at bay; we knew it was going to be beautiful, the Lakes are amazing, the people are so friendly, it felt like home in paradise.   Anyone who is deciding to get married in the lakes will not regret it, we even said if we won the lottery we would not change a thing apart from paying for everyone to be there.  Thank you again for making our day so very special, we can not wait to see you both next year for our first anniversary, the drinks are on us!!   All our love linzi & Shane

 

Trina & Dave, Malcesine Castle, June 2006

We have finally made it back to Calgary and back to reality. The wedding seems as if it was a fairy tale-everything went perfect and was much more than what we were expecting. From our first email, Gwen responded instantly and nothing seemed like it was too much trouble-even when we asked her to administer the paperwork at the Canadian Consulate in Milan on our behalf. Gwen made us feel comfortable and relaxed especially for planning a wedding so far away. The day before our wedding we met with Sarah and she walked us through every detail of our day. Sarah’s attention to detail and organization made us feel that much more comfortable and excited about our wedding. We can’t thank you both enough for the way you made us feel and how beautiful our wedding day was.

Every part of the day was amazing. The food and service at La Pace restaurant was excellent and the location was perfect. Sergio treated us like family and was more than accommodating. The flowers were lovely-just as how I imagined them to be. The pictures Gwen took are amazing-we have had so many positive comments on them. Gwen is an excellent photographer-the pictures were absolutely perfect.

I could go on and on……but I truly hope that you and Sarah realize how much Dave and I and our families appreciate everything you both did to make our wedding more than what we imagined. You and Sarah and Malcesine will be in our hearts forever. If you or Sarah ever visit Western Canada-please let us know and we will treat you and your families to some Canadian hospitality.

Suzanne & Mark, Malcesine Castle, June 2006

The photos are fab..... We have just selected 168 to start with to get printed!!  Every one was thrilled with the day and the photos reflect that. A big thank you for all your hard work and capturing just what we wanted.

Once again a big thank you to you and Sarah for making our day perfect.

Adam & Julie, June 2006, Malcesine Castle 

Where do we start! First of all many thanks for the best day of our lives very very special. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and everything went to plan. Even the weather was ordered on time. All the planning and logistics of the day was superb.

Many thanks Sarah for being so organised w it h the 60 guests attending even when they got drunk and were hard to control!

Big thanks to Gwen for the photographs, they are splendid and a great portra it of the day, the memories will be with us forever.

We say to anyone thinking of getting married in Lake Garda , it is very beautiful and the only people to consider are Lake Garda Weddings. They are so flexible and go to many lengths to support you on your day.

We most certainly recommend Lake Garda Weddings.

 

Karen & Carl, May, Malcesine Castle

We had very high expectations for our wedding in Malcesine, and these were far exceeded by the exceptional service provided by Gwen and Sarah both before and during the day. Although everything was sorted out over the email, the time was still taken by Gwen to ensure that every small detail was covered and she spent time with us on arrival to check everything was as required.. On the day everything ran like clockwork with Sarah on hand to
ensure everyone and eveything was in the right place at the right time, throughout the day and well into the night and Gwen capturing it all with literally hundreds of beautfiul unique photographs. The surroundings were breathtaking and the food and service at the hotel fabulous, We could not have had a more perfect day and lots of our guests (many of whom are already planning a return trip), have described it as a fairytale wedding and the best they have ever attended.

Jessica & Ray ~ Malcesine Castle, June 2006

We had a lovely day! Gwen and Sarah were really well organised and there was very little that we needed to do once we arrived apart from enjoy our wedding. We recommend not only getting married in Malcesine, but using Lake Garda Weddings, for a fabulous day.

 

Neil & Louise ~ Malcesine Castle, June 2006

Many thanks once again for yours & Sarah's help with everything, we can honestly say that we had the time of our lives and the wedding went without a hitch.

 

Kerry & Daniel ~ Malcesine Castle, June 2006

We'd to say how delighted we both were with the professionalism and personal service that both yourself and Sarah gave us for our wedding. We’re sorry it has taken so long to reply but we are only just returning to reality after such an amazing day!

All our guests commented on how lovely you both were and how hard you worked in ensuring that our day ran smoothly – we couldn’t have asked for more.

We just have to add that we cannot believe the amazing photographs that you took. We have been together for almost eight years and we can count on one hand the number of photographs that we have that we like – now we have hundreds (literally!!) that we absolutely love!

Thank you once again for organising such a wonderful day – we couldn’t ask for a better start to married life.

Alex & Neil~ Malcesine Castle, May 2006

Thank you for making our wedding day so special. It really was the perfect day and we wouldn't change a thing. The location, service and reception meal were fantastic and everything ran like clockwork thanks to Gwen and Sarah. All of our guests had a wonderful time and were able to relax in beautiful surroundings. The photos are amazing, we have so many to choose from!

We would not hesitate to recommend Lake Garda Weddings.

 

Lyndsey & Paul ~ Malcesine Castle, May 2006

The wedding was soooooooo wonderful it truly exceeded my expectations the photos are beautiful & also really capture the experience everyone is still talking about how amazing it was.

Lynn & Colin ~ Gardone Riviera, June 2006

If you want a fabulous location than Lake Garda has it all. We got married at Gardone Town Hall by a really nice Mayor and very helpful staff, after the photographs which were taken at the Vitoriale Gardens we had our wedding breakfast at a wonderful lakeside restaurant Riva 84, what a stunning room overlooking the lake, cosy and romantic (as there was only 4 of us). Our special day would not have been possible without Gwen at Lake Garda Weddings who organised everything, and not forgetting Annie who on the day was brilliant in, nothing could have made it more perfect. Once again many many thanks to you Gwen and Annie for all your help in making it a wonderful day to remember.

Gill and John Malcesine Castle, June 2006

Sarah, We would like to thank you and Gwen for making
our wedding day so memorable. We were very pleased with our photographs.

Thanks again.

Craig & Michelle, Torri del Benaco, April 2006

We had an amazing time, our special day turned into a fairy tale! Torri was perfect and we would recommend it to anyone wanting to get married abroad.
From start through to finish Gwen was brilliant and very professional, she
helped us tailor make our day.
We felt completely relaxed throughout and enjoyed every minute, as did our guests. We cannot thank Gwen enough for her attention to detail that went into everything and for making the day the most memorable of our lives. The photographs Gwen took were lovely and really original.

Thank you again Gwen for our perfect day.

 

Craig & Michelle, Torri del Benaco, April 2006

Jean and I would like to congratulate you on organising such a truly wonderful and memorable day for our son Craig and Michelle.The whole itinery was perfect and my lasting memory is everyone sat around that beautiful Harbour,enjoying a social drink late afternoon,before the boat arrived. We would also like to thank you for the professionalism and effort you made to make all the images original. Everyone was impressed.

Tony and Louise, Malcesine Castle May 2006

Gwen thanks for a fanastic wedding.

Thanks for all your help and assistance during our preparation and both yours' and Sarah professionallism on the day. The photos are fantastic and really caputure the spirit of the day. All our guests thoughly enjoyed the beach walk from our hotel -The Hotel Europa (which incidentally provided fabulous accomodation, great food and very friendly and helpful staff) The Castle wedding, the boat trip and the restaurant all more than matched our expectations.

We would recommend you to any couples considering getting married in Lake Garda.

Thanks, thanks, thanks....

Sarah & Edward, April 2006

Lake Garda - What a fantastic idea it was to go here to get married, not only was the setting gorgeous and beyond expectation, the day went by without any problems. This was all down to one lady - Gwen, who we will never be able to thank enough, she had every detail covered and what she achieved was out of this world.

For what was a very important, emotional and special day for us Gwen brought it altogether and gave us more than we could have ever imagined, not only a lovely lady - but an excellent photographer who has provided us with such lovely pictures so that we can always remember the special time we had in Malcesine.

Thank you again Gwen

 

Steph & Mark, September 2005

We had a wonderful day and I can recommend Gwen and Lake Garda Weddings without any hesitation. My advice would be to go out there for a weekend or a couple of days,see the area and talk to Gwen face to face. She is a wonderful girl, really straightforward and nothing fazes her. She is exactly the kind of person you want in control of your big day, and the pictures she takes are fantastic. Gwen and Sarah really take the stress out of organising the day and everything else that goes with it. They organised a lunch the day before the wedding for some friends, and some dinners the night before, complete with two birthday cakes. They also organised for me to have my hair and make up done, the girls in the salon did such an wonderful job, I felt really special, It is also nice to get away from the chaos for a couple of hours on the morning of your wedding. Thanks for everything.

 

Rachel & Phil, September 2005

What a fanstatic day. Lake Garda was the perfect, romantic setting. Gwen you were brilliant, we coulnt't have asked for the day to be any better and we would not change a single thing. The day ran extremely smoothly thanks to you and the photos are great. The photos you placed on the website don't do the rest of the photos justice as you took some truly amazing pics and we had hundreds to choose from. Thank you again for a wonderful day and we will without doubt recommend you to any one thinking of getting married abroad. Thank you.

 

Jane & Ian, September 2005

Thanks so much for everything. We had the best day and so much thanks to you and your fantastic organisation. Everyone is still talking about the wedding and I think quite a number will be booking a return trip in the not too distant future.

 

Susan & Iain, September 2005

Thank you for taking all the stress and worry out of organizing a wedding abroad. All we had to do was turn up.You went out of your way to help us and to make our day everything that that we had dreamed it would be, and then some! We had the most perfect wedding day, a day that was romantic and fun with a location , venue and food beyond comparison. Your presence thoroughout the day ensured everything ran smoothly but we we never felf rushed, the day was ours to enjoy and we loved every munute of it. I would not hesitate to recommend Lake Garda Weddings to anyone, you really are magnifico!

 

Janet & Tony, September 2005

What a fantastic day - everything was perfect down to the organisation, the location, the restaurant; food and staff were excellent and of course Gwen made it such an amazing day for us. Friends and family are still commenting on how great the day was and all the wedding pictures of fabulous - struggling trying to pick them. Gwen you are an absolute star and we cannot thank you enough for everything.

 

Joel & Sarah, September 2005

Our wedding day was the most wonderful day of our lives! We cannot think of a a more fitting location than the beautiful Scaligeri Castle of Malcesine, with its idyllic views of Lake Garda and its stunning mountain backdrops. The day was enjoyed by family and friends all of whom, will never forget the goodwill and hospitality shown to us by the local people. We must pay tribute to Gwen for her excellent organisational skills and thoughtfulness throughout the day. Without her we would not have discovered the delightful ‘La Pace Restaurant’ for our reception dinner. The service was second to none and helped to do away with traditional formality! We would thoroughly recommend Lake Garda Weddings to anyone looking for a truly unique wedding experience. Thank you Gwen for helping to make our day so special

Gemma & Daniel, September 2005

Utterly fabulous ...... Couldn't have wished for a better wedding day, all of which was down to Gwen and her attention to detail and professionalism. Lake Garda is a wonderful place with wonderful people, perfect setting for the best day of your life. Thoroughly recommend duet for ceremony, and the lake cruise is a MUST, Bell Arrivo restaurant was fab, we ate for hours !!!! Such a fabulous excuse to drop the formalities, everyone loved the relaxed atmosphere, it made us feel completely at ease and left us to enjoy the day.

Our hearts will be in Torri forever, the photos that Gwen took will be a long lasting reminder of how special it was, only she could capture the moment, photography is definitely an art, and she has got it off to a tee !

 

Josie & Ben, September 2005

Thanks to Gwen for organising the perfect wedding day. The Castle and
surrounding areas created a breathtaking backdrop for our day. We would recommend Lake Garda Weddings to anyone thinking of marrying , after our day we cannot imagine doing it any other way. Thank for everything.

 

Niki & Chris, August 2005

Everything was so perfect. Thank you for all your input and help in coordinating our very special day. I realise for anyone reading this you must be considering Lake Garda as your wedding venue. I cannot imagine anywhere in the world that could beat the location, not only for it's breathtaking views and scenery but also the local people and the hospitality we were shown as a family. Lake Garda is close enough for relatives to attend, yet just far away enough for you to create your own fairytale on this idylic lake. We wanted something a little different. We didn't want the ususal British traditions and felt we wanted to spend our day doing exactly what we wanted - and we sure pulled it off. People are still taking about the ceremony, whilst looking over the castle walls at the beautiful mountains and lake views. The fantastic musicains that accompanied me as I walked down the isle. And of course the photographs were great. I would like to thank all my family and friends that took the time to attend. We are so please you were able to share our special day with us. It was a very emotional day yet the happiest we have both ever felt. Thank you Gwen

 

Kelly & Martyn, August 2005

A truly astounding ceremony! To witness such a beautiful wedding in the perfect surroundings of the Scaligeri Castle was a real honour and a pleasure. Breath-taking scenery combined with an idyllic venue shared with family and friends….. that’s what dreams are made of! (Message from family member)

Micheal & Vicky, August 2005 We would like to thank Gwen for organising such a wonderful day for us. Everyone in our wedding party has told us that it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The location, the violionist, the champagne cruise, the food and the photography was perfect. Friends and family have commented that our wedding photos are beautiful. I highly recommend Gwen and the Lake Garda Weddings company to anyone thinking about having a wedding abroad. Micheal & Vicky

 

Darren & Polly, August 2005

Thanks to Gwen and Sarah for making our special day so stress free and enjoyable, everything was arranged in a professional but informal way that ensured that everything was perfect but also relaxed - our friends and family had a wonderful time in such a beautiful location and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the area or the Lake Garda wedding service to others.

 

Peter & Mary August 2005

We would like to thank you very, very much for making our day so special. Everything was a dream come true and is all down to you. We wish you all the happiness in the world and hopefully we will see you again. Thanks again. Regards from Peter & Mary

Emma & Nick, July 2005

I would just like to start by saying thank you so much for making our day such a special one and for all your hard work, we both had such an amazing day, actually the best day of our lives!! We can't stop watching the video and the photos are just amazing, the only problem is that I want them all. We saw lots of our friends that came to our wedding over the week and,and it was so nice to hear them saying it was the best wedding they had ever been too.

 

Jenny & Lee, August 2005

A truly memerable day. Fantastic organizing by you both. (message from family member)

 

Jenny & Lee, August 2005

Thankyou soo much for organising our wedding, We could not have organised this on our own. The day was perfect, and went so smoothly, apart from when i threw the bouquet on the roof!! I thought it would be harder to organise a wedding in a different country, but with you help think it couldn't have been easier! I cant thank you enough. Jenny & Lee

Georgina & Justin, July 2005We both had such a great time. The day went so quickly but was very memorable. Your work and organisational skills were extremely impressive and very appreciated . Also what shocked us was your ability to keep both of us very relaxed throughout the day - this was some feat. The photos are fantastic. We have had some blown up and they are great. The only problem is that there are so many good shots that we are having difficulty cutting back the number for the album. I hope we can keep in touch and perhaps you will also be able to organise our 25 wedding anniversary.....

 

Kenneth & Samira, July 2005

We are both really grateful to Sara and Gwen for organising such a special day. Everything was arranged with particular care and attention. The ceremony was elegant with a beautiful backdrop and a wonderful violinist. The food and the service at the reception were exceptional. Gwen and Sara took all the stress out of the day . Thanks again .

 

Kate & Marco, July 2005

Marco and I would like to thank you for all your help in making our wedding day perfect. It was everything we had wished for! Kate

 

Kathryn & Derek, July 2005

Thank you is not enough to convey our gratitude for making our day special beyond our dreams. Everything was so perfect - weather, restaurant, florist, hairdresser, the mayor and his helpful staff, and even the photographer. Thanks to Gwen for making the potentially most stressful day of our lives the least stressful - there was nothing that could have been done better or made easier. For those of you considering getting married abroad, choose Lake Garda Weddings and you will not be disappointed. Everyone has admired the pics and said how good the photographer has been getting such good shots.... you managed to make the most unphotogenic couple look good which is a miracle. Kathryn & Derek

 

Charlie & Nicci, June 2005

We would like to thank you for helping us to have the best day of our lives. My mum fell ill the day after the wedding and Gwen's help and support was not only invaluable, it was far more than we would ever have expected from a friend, let alone our wedding co-ordinator. The wedding was my mums last day and I remember her saying how perfect it was and how she wouldn't change one thing about the day. Thank you for making it so special for her.

 

Steve & Emma, June 2005

I’m not sure words will convey the deep appreciation and thanks we would like to offer Lake Garda Weddings. The day was fantastic and we could not have hoped for better weather, a breath taking location and the massive support and help given by Gwen. Our day will be one that we will never forget and will cherish for the rest of our lives. The service Gwen offered was warm, friendly and exceedingly professional. She had thought of everything and this included some ideas we had not. We cannot express our praise for such a wonderful and caring company. I would recommend them to anyone considering getting married in Italy. Steve & Emma

 

Sarah & David June 2005

Thank you for all your efforts in organising what was a fantastic fairytale wedding. Malcesine is beautiful and the castle romantically idyllic. All our family and friends had a fabulous time sharing our special day, everything was perfect.Huge thanks to Sarah and Gwen for all your organisation, everything went perfectly. It exceeded all of our expectations. Our family and friends haven't stopped talking about it and we have lots of great memories of the whole week. Sarah & David

 

Lynda & Gavin, June 2005

Thank you so much for absolutely everything. We had the best day that we could possibly ask for, with all our family there too, it was truly a most memorable occasion for everyone. The location, service and photographs were brilliant. Thank you so much Gwen, lots love Lynda, Gavin and baby George x

 

Jo & Jarrod, June 2005

They always say that your wedding day is the best day of your life. Without a shadow of doubt that was true. Our day was magical, fun, exhilirating and sensational. None of this would have been possible without Gwen and Sarah who's attention to detail and constant thoughtfullness made our day so perfect. Our family and friends have described it as one of the best weddings ever. Lake Garda is so beautiful, the team at the Miravalle where we had our reception were excellent and we would highly recommend other couples choosing this winning team.

 

Steph & Steve

May 2005 We would just like to thank you both so much again for everything you did for us and our friends. It was the best day ever, and we couldn't have asked for a better day. None of it would have been possible without you 2, so we think you're both brill. Everyone thinks the pictures are absolutely amazing, and a few people have even asked about getting married abroad - so I have told them to mail you. Thanks for everything. Steph & Steve

They really were fantastic. Jason & Sarah

 

Laura & David May 2005

David and I had such a great day and we are so lucky to have been able to come to Lake Garda and find you to help us. Everything was wonderful, I just wish I could rewind it and do it again, the day flew by! Thank you so much for all your support and dedication. We were all so fond of you and you made all our dreams come true. Laura & David

Catherine & Steve, May 2005

The wedding at Arco. What a day. Sarah and Gwen organised a perfect day for our daughter Catherine and Steve. From the beautiful ceremony, the champagne and snacks immediately afterwards to the afternoon-long lunch in the restaurant in the hills the efficient, unobtrusive management of absolutely everything by Sarah and Gwen made for a completely relaxed and wonderful event. Catherine and Steve's wedding was everying they envisaged. Many thanks to you both. Sue and John Barton

 

Catherine & Steve, May 2005

What an amazing day! Beautiful weather, beautiful surroundings, beautiful people (well, the italians anyway). It could not have gone better, mainly thanks to the efforts of Sarah and Gwen. They made sure that everything was perfect, and the work they put in really was 'above and beyond'. Thank you so much for everything LGW!

 

Claire & Shane, May 2005

Our wedding day truly exceeded all expectations. The Castle in Malcesine is a dream location, the champagne boat trip back to Riva Del Garda and the meal in the 'Al Volt' Restaurant made a perfect end to a perfect wedding. The entire day was organised to perfection by Lake Garda Weddings. We would like to give extra special thanks to Gwen. She is someone who quite obviously loves the job she is doing, nothing is too much trouble. She really does put her heart and soul into ensuring everyone gets the wedding day they have dreamt of. We have got hundreds of stunning photographs to remind us of this wonderful day. Thank you so much to everyone involved, for giving us a wedding day that will never be forgotten. Claire & Shane

 

Simon and Louise - April 2005

Our Wedding Day was the best day of our lives thanks to Lake Garda Weddings who organised every detail. Getting Married in Gardone Riviera was a unique and amazing experience and we are so glad we decided to marry in Italy. The room in the town hall where the ceremony was held was beautiful and the Mayor seemed genuinely honoured to marry us. The lakeside reception venue was stunning, the table was decorated to perfection and the food and service were excellent. The photography service was second to none, the locations were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. As a result we have hundreds of beautiful photos to remind us of our special day. The whole wedding was first class, our guests enjoyed themselves immensely and we truly felt like stars. We would strongly recommend Lake Garda Weddings to anyone thinking of marrying in Italy for their professionalism, great organisation and reasonable prices. Simon & Louise

Thanks for all your hard work in making our wedding so easy. We are glad that you obviously enjoyed it as much as we did. I can't thank you enough for the wedding in Malcesine to say it was perfect was not doing it justice.

Thank you so much for all the hard work that you put into organising our son's wedding. We really didn't know what to expect from the day but, it was so much more than we can ever have imagined. The whole family had a fantastic time and were made so welcome by everyone we met. We were amazed at the beautiful wedding room in Arco, a lovely setting for such a special event, it was so magical we felt we were in a film! The mayor who conducted the service was obviously so proud to have us there.

It was so nice just to relax and enjoy the day knowing you had taken care of everything. Every part of the day was just so special and so different. We know everyone really appreciated the time and care you put into all the arrangements. We really can't recommend your services highly enough.

Wow!, what a week we have had, It is hard to know where to start. Ever since we first visited Lake Garda 6 years ago it was our dream to get married there and you really have made our dream come true. Initially I did feel daunted at the prospect of trying to organise the most important day of our lives from such a long way away. However your personal and very professional approach really put my mind at rest. It was so fantastic to be able to be involved with all the arrangements but without any of the stress! Your attention to even the smallest detail and being able to choose exactly what we wanted made our day really unique and so special. We have so many brilliant memories that will be with us forever, we can't wait to visit Riva next year to re-live our day.
