Rowton Castle - Venue Set-up & Co-ordination

Hi Gaynor,
We met at Rowton Castle. I have placed your details on my wedding photography website.
I thought you both did a wonderful job. Here`s the info.

Poundon House, Oxon
Full Co-ordination & Event Management plus extra staff for set-up, car parking and clear-up 8am - 2am
Meeting with and full liaising with suppliers before the day, ordering equipment etc.

Hi Gaynor,
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply to you, life has been very hectic since the wedding, but I have not forgotten how amazing
you and your team were on the day of the wedding and in the couple of weeks prior too.
Your calm approach to various issues with caterers and logistical arrangements in the run up to the wedding was fabulous, and
your attention to detail was phenomenal. Having you to help really meant that I could relax and enjoy the week before the wedding
without worrying about the suppliers, and I could trust you completely to sort things out, and only involve us when you felt it was
critical. I know that you identified and dealt with quite a few things which you only told me about later to save me from worrying!
As we were having both a Catholic Nuptial Mass and also the Hindu wedding ceremony on the same day we would not have been
able to cope without you. Ashley and Harriet - you were worth your weight in gold. Many of our guests commented on how
smoothly everything went, which is not easy to achieve with 200 guests, 2 venues, 2 ceremonies, 2 marquees and a bucket load of
rain! I would recommend your services to any Bride and Groom without hesitation.
Kind regards,
Felicity & Ash Mehta

perfect - and all that running about from the hotel we were getting ready in to the church and the reception venue!! I could see how
hard you and Lauren worked and nothing was too much trouble - we simply asked for something and you did it with a smile.I am
grateful for how much you did for the guests too, I have never seen another service like the one you provide and I shall certainly
recommend you to everyone I know who gets married ! "

Dear Gaynor & Lauren,
Thank you so much for all your hard work on the day.

Full Day co-ordination

Hi Gaynor
Thanks so much for everything you and Lauren did at our wedding. We really enjoyed ourselves and that is only because we did
not have to think about everything else going on in the background. From our eyes the day went brilliantly and there seemed no
problems throughout. The little things that did happen like two extra children turning up was dealt with by you and the day was
able to move forward. I had lots of lovely comments about the two of you, so for any friends getting married I will pass on your
details.
We had lovely comments the next day, with people saying it was the best wedding they had ever been to and referring it to bridget
jones/notting hill wedding (which was they style of the day). Well thank you again and please thank Lauren. You were both
fantastic on the day and we definitely couldn't have done it without you! You were also brilliant at chucking people out when
required, which was great as I was able to drink my Gin and Tonic in peace ;)
When I return home I will write a more formal letter, so you can print it off and use it as a reference.

Hi Gaynor. Thank you for your email and the report. It was interesting to read how the day had gone behind the scenes!  Never
would have guessed so much happened. We couldn`t have done it without you, my fairy godmother!  We wouldn`t have known all
that was going on, so you did a fantastic job of sorting everything and everyone out!  Thank Lauren for me too and the lady who
did the signing was very good. We were so lucky with the weather as it threw it down the next day! Everything went well and
people have said lovely things about the wedding.  

You are such a lovely person, a fabulous Wedding Co-ordinator and hopefully a friend for life.
I will never forget everything you did for us on the most important day of our lives!  



Received 18th August
At Home service in Milton Keynes

Hi Gaynor & Harriet,
Ben & I wanted to thank you and Harriet so much for everything you did to help. Although Ben wasn’t there he knew I
was worried about getting the dresses done up and from everything I’ve told him he said it sounds like you were worth
your weight in gold – which you were!
I was completely amazed at how much you did and half the stuff you did I would never have thought of or realised
would need to be done and would really have sent me into a spin on the morning of the wedding if I’d had to see to them
myself. I was completely relaxed because I knew you were there and you did so much more than I expected.

My bridesmaid got engaged last week and your number was the first I gave her – not that she needed it as she saw first
hand just what a useful person you were to have around.
We had a fabulous Wedding Day and honeymoon and today is our first day back at work which we have both been
dreading.
Once again I can’t thank you enough for all your help.
Rosie

Dear Gaynor and Lauren, We would like to say a massive thank you for making our day so magical and exactly how we
wanted the day to be. We could not fault anything you achieved.  The whole reception/room was so beautiful, we were
lost for words as we could not have imagined the room would look so perfect, soft and such a calm ambiance to the
day. As you know the day was very difficult, due to the passing of my father. From the beginning of the planning to all
the advice and support leading up to the day of our wedding you were fantastic! Your knowledge and expertise was
second to none. We certainly did not notice any hitches, you were both professional throughout. Both Leon and I are
truly grateful for making our day so perfect. We have reflected and still say there is nothing we would have changed.
Huge THANK YOU to you both!!!

Dear Gaynor & Lauren,
I just had to write to say a BIG thank you for everything you have done to make our wedding so special.
Your hard work and talents were recognised by everyone on the day, all our guests commented on how
well the room was decorated and co-ordinated. Gaynor your support in the months running up to the
wedding were invaluable, your advice, ideas and passion were just what I needed to help me through the
stress of organising. The day ran so smoothly due to your planning and we had a brilliant time.
Thanks again,

Post wedding report comments received on 8th July 2008

Thanks for this Gaynor, it really gives me an idea of how much you had to do, excluding the things I asked you to do.
Again, a big thank you for all your efforts, the room made me cry when I saw it, it was so beautiful. You truly think of
everything so that the day goes to perfect plan.As a bride-to-be you spend so much time, thinking, planning and
dreaming about your day, but frustrating as it may be you can't be there personally on the day to put it all into practice. I
totally trusted and believed that you had the same vision of the room in your head that I had described to you and you
did a marvellous job.

Full Day Co-ordination

Dear Gaynor & Lauren (aka Happily Ever After)

I just wanted to write and say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for all your help on our wedding day on 6th October 2007!

We truly had a magical and unforgettable day, and I am 100% sure that it ran smoothly and seamlessly due to both of
your hard work, help and support. I was amazed how impressive, professional and efficient you both were, as well as
polite, friendly, very well presented, and incredibly hard working.  I was delighted to have your services on our special
day.  Everyone said how good you both were and how much you were needed to give the hotel staff the 'push' that
they needed at times, as well as stepping in and doing those things often overlooked like vacuum cleaning the marquee
carpet and setting up the wishing well.

Before our wedding we weren’t sure of the value of ‘on the day’ wedding coordination, since, being a bit of a bridezilla
myself, I thought I’d planned everything down to the last detail.  However, looking back on the day, I am SO glad that
we used Happily Ever After.  You ensured that everything ran like clockwork, and we could truly relax and enjoy
ourselves rather than worrying about the little things that went wrong – which we didn’t even know about at the time
thanks to both of you stepping in and sorting things out!  In addition to the support you provided on the day, I also
found your help before the day invaluable, particularly our meeting at the venue, your help in telephoning all of our
suppliers and your questionnaire – which served as a really good detailed checklist of everything I needed to do which
I’d overlooked.

I honestly cannot thank you enough for ensuring that our wedding day went without hitch and I am very happy to
recommend your services to all discerning brides who, like me, want a perfect day to remember.
Thanks again!
Yours truly,
Mrs Victoria Hammersley

Dear Gaynor ,

We would just like to “write” and express a huge thank you for all your hard work and help that you gave us on our wedding day.
You were amazing and such a valuable asset to our day. Sorry it has taken so long to write to you !
Before our wedding we were so worried that all the little things that go towards making a wedding day perfect would be
overlooked.I had spent so long and so much on getting all the table details just how I wanted them and I must admit I was
becoming a bit of a control freak.I wished that I could split in to two people on the day - one being the bride and one making sure
everything was exactly what I had pictured in my head! However we found our ‘ fairy godmother ’ in you! After giving you all the
details I felt I could rely on you to make sure everything was as I had planned. When I walked in to the reception room I was
overwhelmed that it was like everything that had been in my thoughts and on paper for all those months had turned in to reality.
We were so impressed with how you dealt with all the last minute details, and the things we have only just learned that were not
quite right..
You were fabulous leading up to the day – all your tips , help and advice via email, especially when things got to me the night
before!! We honestly wouldn’t have had our perfect day if it were not for you. We are truly grateful for all you hard work and the
effort you put into making our dream wedding come true, and we wouldn`t hesitate in recommending you to anyone getting
married.

Thank you again Mr & Mrs W******
