My experience
with Celebrations in Spain started when I was struggling to find a suitable
venue for my wedding. Within a couple of days they had found the perfect
location for us and we were sitting down discussing menus etc.
Durnng the few months preceding the wedding, when the inevitable hiccups
occurred, I quickly learned that our wedding organisers would take care of it
for us
On the day they gave the appearance of quiet calm, although I am certain there
must have been a lot of behind the scenes panic, the resuly was the perfect
wedding we wanted.
To sum up their service, I would say above all else, they give total peace of
mind during what is one of life's more stressful times.

The BEST time of all was and always will be the blessing.
For us it certainly was the WOW factor and that was because you made it happen.
We were absolutely thrilled with Andrew (minister) and the service which was so
relaxed and personal. The whole experience was just so meaningful and allowed us
to celebrate "ourselves and our future life together" which was exactly what we
wanted. I hope that doesn't come across as being selfish but we felt that the
marriage was about our commitment to each other and not to please everybody else
which is why we chose to do it the way we did. We can't put into words what it
meant to us and can't thank you enough for making it happen. You definitely
exceeded our expectations and made sure everything went so smoothly on the day
right down to the smallest detail ( the rose petals on the dining table didn't
go un-noticed).
Also thank you so much for the photos which captured the
day in such a relaxed manor. Exactly what we wanted and you got it spot on! As
did Neil on the film clips. Thank you to both of you.

We accidently found Kerry &
Neil of
www.celebrationsinspain.com through a Google search to establish current
legality of same sex unions. Kerry's website was so simple yet so
comprehensive and answered every conceivable question on weddings.
We thought that we received far more advice, support and service than what we
actually paid for in the one off fee.
Kerry was always full of ideas and was also up to date with laws, procedures
and no nos and her fluent Spanish has been immensely helpful in the way
Spanish law and suppliers operate.
John and I had exactly in mind what we wanted for our day and Kerry & Neil
only added to our plans with assurance of someone else having their fingers on
the pulse both before the event and especially on the morning of the day, when
we had enough
trouble getting ourselves ready. We can't Thank or recomend highly enough
Kerry & Neil to pull everything, or just a few things together for YOUR
special day or event! Thank You to our new friends Kerry & Neil and all the
best for their fabulous site and service.

Having
decided on a wedding in Spain we contacted Kerry Vear-Smyth of Celebrations in
Spain through the internet and then by telephone.
As our plans
began to evolve, with Kerry adding her expertise and local knowledge, we had
what we considered to be the perfect day.
Celebrations in Spain worked to a very high standard of professionalism and
friendliness at the same time ensuring that the whole day ran smoothly and
efficiently. We would have no hesitation in recommending her company to anyone
planning to marry in Spain, it was money very well spent and contributed
significantly to making our day very special.
Kerry's
local knowledge of the Registrars Office, restaurants, and local people for
flowers, cake etc was invaluable and furthermore she delivered the services
within the budget specified.
Well done
Celebrations in Spain it was a pleasure to deal with a company so professional
and efficient. We both wish you every success for your future.

Just wanted to say again 'thank you' for the
arrangements from Thursday. I don't think that we would have made it without
you!!!
Once again, thanks for your support over the last few
months. We would recommend you to anyone in the future - so maybe we'll meet up
again in the no so distant future.

Just wanted to thank you so much for helping with our
wedding, you were invaluable to us and we appreciated it very much. Everything
went so smoothly.
Everyone is still talking about it now saying what a
fabulous day it was.
Once again, thank you and I just wish I could do it all
over again!

I wanted to send you an email to thank you SO, SO MUCH
for everything you did for Daniel and I on our wedding day and during the build
up to it. We were all so impressed with the venue (Torres de San Juan, Nerja)
you found for us, which was so reasonable and yet absolutely fabulous (food, location..etc), everyone who attended our blessing and all the guests in the
evening had a wonderful time. We are also over the moon with our photos, Justin
was brilliant and he was so good with the kids!! Andrew was fantastic too, the
service was just perfect and I liked the personal touches which Andrew added.
All in all it was a perfect day, both Daniel and I had the time of our lives and
we know we couldn't have done it without you!! Many, many thanks

Thank you both for the most
wonderful wedding. We wouldn’t change a thing. (Except perhaps ½ hour longer at
La Marina!!) The whole family has not stopped talking about it and I am sure
you will get a repeat family wedding, you are warned!!. Anyway anything in
England will be boring after that.
Everyone, all 58 of us had a
fantastic time. The food was indescribably good, I kept shouting to people as
they piled their plates with the fish tapas 'This is not your dinner', I don't
think anyone could believe how much you got and the quality and service were
superb. The wine was good too and the beer welcomed by a good proportion of the
men. We were worried that you had got the price wrong. Ron decided half way
through that even if there had been an extra cost it still would have been worth
it. I have written a thank you card to La Marina, please when you are next
there could you check that they got it and if not tell them how fantastic we
thought they were.
Neil did an excellent job, I
don't think we were the easiest lot to organise and any queries or problems we
had he sorted most efficiently.

We found
Celebrations in Spain by chance on an internet search. From the moment we
started to communicate with Kerry everything was plain sailing. She did
everything for us and we felt very relaxed through the whole planning process.
We met Kerry & her husband nearly a year before the wedding and she was very
professional and friendly. From there everything was organised to perfection.
All the suppliers Kerry referred us to we would highly recommend. The DVD of our
wedding day is fantastic. Our wedding day was amazing and Kerry was there to
make sure it all went well. All our guests are still raving about how beautiful
the whole day was. We want Kerry and the celebrations in Spain team to know we
had the best day anyone could wish for.

We live in England but own a property
in Spain. It was our dream to be married in Spain but we found it very
difficult to make any arrangements. After trawling the web we decided to
contact Celebrations in Spain.
We first met Kerry in Nerja and
explained to her of our wishes for a small civil wedding in the gardens of a
hotel. Immediately all of our stress was taken away as Kerry explained the
many options available to us. Kerry was prepared to take us to various
hotels to see at first hand what was on offer. The first venue Kerry took
us to, the hotel Vinuela was amazing, everything we wanted. A beautiful
rustic, but modern Spanish hotel, set in the foot hills of the Sierra Nevada
with a backdrop of a tranquil lake. We did not need to look any further,
Kerry knew exactly what was required.
Kerry then proceeded to complete all
the legal paperwork required for our wedding, even driving 6 hours to present
the required paperwork at our local town hall in Spain.
At last the day arrived for our
wedding and again Kerry was there on hand at the hotel to supervise any last
minute details.
We cannot thank Kerry, not forgetting
her husband Neil, for the total service that Celebrations in Spain provides and
would without doubt recommend any future clients to use the first class service
provided by Celebrations in Spain.

Hope you are keeping
well and enjoying the weather there. It's been raining the whole time here
since we arrived back. Myself and Nuala would sincerely like to thank you for
all your help for our wedding. Without your help it would not have been
possible. Everything ran so smoothly on the day, and from talking to our guests
that came over they couldn't believe it, everything was perfect. It's an
absolute credit to you, how organised you are. From the moment we arrived to
the church, to the end of the disco we can definitely say it was the best day of
our lives. Even some of the guests have been saying the same. The food in the
restaurant was terrific and the service was second to none. I would have no
hesitation in recommending you to anyone who was thinking of getting married
abroad. Hope you enjoy your time off in August you deserve it.

wedding, hotel and setting it all was. Again thank you so much. If you ever need
references etc please feel free to contact us we would only be too happy to

We didn't get round to thanking you both
personally after our wedding. It's only now over 6 months later that we trully
appreciate what you did for us.
Everything about our day was perfect. Looking back at our photos made us
both realise that we couldn't have had the wedding of our dreams without help
from you both.
So thank you so much. You never know we might bump into you again in
Nerja.
P.S. we are still happily married after 6 months - always a good sign.

Well, we've settled back into normal life again in Miami. It was a bit hard
coming back after such a wonderful time in Spain.
We just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you both so much for all the

perfect day! If any of our friends plan on getting married in the south of Spain
in the near future, we will be sure to recommend your services!

I just wanted to thank you both so much for everything you did for me and Alex
last week. You were both fantastic and there is no way everything would have
gone smoothly without your help on the Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Everyone had a fantastic day and we hope you managed to enjoy some of it also.
We now have a few friends who are considering their weddings in Spain in the
next year or two so I will be passing your details onto them and you never know
we might see you again at one of them soon!!

I'm sorry its taken so long
for me to get round to this, i feel like we were not long back from honeymoon
(although that was the end of Oct!) and Christmas has been and gone already..
time has just flown by!
Anyway we just wanted to say a big thank you for all your (and your Husband's!)
help in planning our wedding - we really couldn't have done it without you.
Although plans got a bit stressful at times, (which i think is probably
unavoidable anyway).. the actual day was perfect!!- even better than we
imagined it to be.
We are settling into married life very well and i actually feel that sometimes
our wedding day was one big dream if it wasn't for the photos (which Dawn made a
fantastic job of). Lots of our guests were also complimentary of the choir, my
bouquet and the woman liked the fans after all.. Only one of our guests won £10
on the lottery...but nevermind!
I hope you and your Husband are well and are enjoying the Christmas break.

We just wanted
to email you both to thank you so much for the fabulous day that we had! Everything was
just so well planned and beautiful. All of our family and friends have been
saying how fab everything was. It was certainly a day that we will never
forget. Thank you for
all of your help, we really couldn't have done it without you! We would
recommend you highly to anyone as your service is so professional! I think Nerja
is going to get all of the wedding guests back on holidays at some stage! I hope that you
guys are able to take a well deserved break soon.

I'm sorry it's
taken me so long to get this to you - it's long overdue. Brian and I want
to thank you (and Neil too) for all your hard work and time spent helping make
our wedding so perfect. We could not have wished for a more special day.
Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and one that
won't easily be forgotten.
Your knowledge of the area and recommendations for various vendors were
exceptional and your calm manner in dealing with everything was a blessing to
work with.
We wish you all the best in the future and will gladly refer your services to
anyone thinking of marrying in Southern Spain.

We just want to say thank you, a million
times, for making our day so special. You did a wonderful job and many of our
guests said how great you were. Please say thank you to your husband also. I
think I'll always remember him bringing in the flowers to the room when I was
getting my hair done! That brought on the first tears of the day.
So thank you for everything. My Dad reckons it was the best wedding he was ever
at!!!
