Review Centre: Wedding Planners

"Araxie is phenomenal! Alex and I couldn’t have chosen a more patient, detail oriented, creative, and organized wedding planner. She took the time to listen to our vision and create our dream wedding better than we could’ve ever imagined. She took the time to meet with us at last minute requests, was professional and quick when responding to emails, and never complained about our late night phone calls or multitude of weird questions. We took all of Araxie’s vendor recommendations, and they were all AMAZING to work with. And due to her extensive connections in the wedding industry, she was able to get us the best prices from vendors. We’ve received so many compliments on our table décor and stage, and friends and family talk about how beautiful, fun, and smooth our wedding ran till this day. We truly can’t thank Araxie enough for making our dream wedding come true, and making it run so smoothly and on time! She had control over the flow of our wedding, coordinated with all vendors on time, and resolved issues before we even knew they existed. We truly had the most stress free and beautiful wedding, and got to spend it with family and friends without a worry in mind. To anyone getting married, I would highly recommend Araxie and her team if they want their wedding dreams to come true, and to have a wedding planner who goes above and beyond their expectations."

"Paul has worked with us on a number of large-scale events and his knowledge and input has been invaluable. Not only does he perform his primary role as Toastmaster superbly, but his experience of events has helped to spot issues and contributed enormously to the smooth running of very successful events. Excellent communication prior to the event. Able to adapt to whatever unexpected challenges presented themselves at the event. A crowd pleaser. Highly organised & articulate."

"I wish I could give Luigi & Ceola Manor a higher rating than 5 stars. From the moment we looked at the venue to the day of our wedding, both Rachel and Luigi were extremely helpful. My wedding was perfect! I had 170 guests and everyone one I've spoken to had an amazing time, and I've received rave reviews on the food and the service. People are still talking about how good the prime rib was! The location is also beautiful. Ceola is located along lake Osceola in Jefferson Valley in the Hudson Valley region. I noticed a few of my friend's changed their Facebook profile photos to the ones taken at my wedding. The weather also helped. It was a gorgeous day, but I'm sure even if the weather "

"David & Anna provided excellent, courteous and professional delivery, setup and operation of the official film screening of our landmark documentary film - The Birth & History of Western Swing - at our inaugural Cowtown Birthplace of Western Swing Festival on Saturday, Nov 13, 2021 at Fort Worth's historic National Hall.

We highly recommend their services for your most professional video presentation events."

"We cannot thank Momentous Occasions enough for all the hard work that was put into making our daughters bridal shower and wedding an absolute dream! Momentous Occasions thought of every single detail and gave it the full attention it deserved making our daughters day an unforgettable one! Planning both the bridal shower and wedding was stress-free as Momentous Occasions kept us on track and made it a piece of cake for us, not to mention enjoyable! A lot of care and dedication was put into the planning process to make the outcome of it simply perfect, also ensuring the bride was calm at all times. Momentous Occasions exhibited calmness, patience and perfection throughout the entire planning and execution stages. On the wedding day, Momentous Occasions was ensuring that all was going according to plan in the background while the rest of us were able to enjoy the moments of this special occasion. We cannot thank Momentous Occasions enough. We are so grateful for all the hard work and the hours spent on making this occasion one that our family and friends cannot stop talking about!"

"From start to finish Luigi and Rachel were a great pleasure to work with it. They made wedding planning easy. We had our ceremony in gazabo, just a very beautiful setting. The grounds are well kept and the view of the lake made it just perfect. I didn't have much food, but everyone talked about how much food there was and how good it was. The service was fantastic. Everyone worked really hard to make sure I was happy, comfortable and that the guest enjoyed the evening. If you are looking for somewhere you won't have to take a second job to pay for your wedding and people who take the time to "know" you as a bride.... then it's Luigi & Rachel"

"We wanted both Marguerite and I to thank you very much for your essential role at our wedding last month on 12 July. We have had indeed many of our guests who told us rightfully how impressed they had been by you. As we had told you, to our knowledge, Toastmasters are not very common in weddings across the Channel. Your presence brought a great combination of English pomp and style with a wonderful smoothness all along the evening that enabled both of us to fully enjoy the moment. We are aware French people can be a little bit more unruly with keeping time and you did wonderfully! The fact that you made the announcements both in English and in French or your attention to such details as the right pronunciation of names made such a difference. It was a “tour de force”! We’ll be always happy to corroborate how happy we have been with your wonderful and bilingual contribution on our wedding day, and of course to recommend you warmly any time we will have the opportunity to. Encore Mille Mercis. With our very best wishes et notre meilleur souvenir,"

Merci beaucoup Marguerite et Jacques. Ce fut une superbe journée avec vous et vos adorables invités. Il est vrai que nous nous sommes tous bien amusés dans le cadre magnifique de la Queen's House. Une occasion mémorable et je vous souhaite à tous les deux beaucoup de bonheur. Maître de cérémonie Paul Deacon

"Please receive my sincere thanks for the flawless organisation of the IRSE Annual Dinner last Friday. This evening will remain in my family's memory as very special for the rest of our lives. Please also extend my thanks Paul, the Toastmaster, who did an excellent job in an at times “adverse environment”, and who also took care of the children's music playing in a very gentle way. "

I very much appreciate the President's remarks. I'm always prepared to 'settle' a noisy crowd of guests and focus attention on to the parts of an event which matter. I look forward to the next Annual event! Toastmaster Paul

"Paul is 'simply the best'. An average event can turn into an A+ event with his understanding and management of how to make things tick. Since we started using him for our busy awards ceremonies we have never looked back. We wouldn't consider running an event without him. Long may that continue!"

Reply by Toastmaster Paul Deacon
Always delighted to be at one of your well-managed events. Paul

"On behalf of this year's President of Chelsea Lodge W.Bro. Glyn Harvey and myself & John Logan, the Chelsea Lodge and all the audience, cast and crew I would like to sincerely thank you for being a part of the 2019 Chelsea Lodge Ladies Festival. Another very busy night which even through our critical eyes gets the thumbs up. Thanks for running the formal section so well, the speeches came over very well. We didn't wrap up until around 01:00 but the floor was still pretty full even at that time. It seems quite a number of guests were still in the room nearly an hour later and I saw the bars emptying around 03:00 which is something of a late night record for this event. So I think you can conclude a good time was had by all. Thanks very much indeed for all of your efforts on our behalf and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed you being involved."

"Thank you for your excellent "crowd-guidance and encouragement" and organisation activities during our wedding. Your style fitted perfectly with our desires for the occasion and your invaluable assistance, unobtrusive coordination and sympathetic attention to detail was a delight that played a huge part in the fact that everyone attending had a fabulous day and did not want to leave. Our memories of your kind and generous advice and assistance throughout will always be gratefully and fondly remembered. Jo and I wish you all the very best for the future, and very many thanks again for your kind assistance."
