Thank you so much for our truly wonderful wedding. We cannot thank you nor recommend you enough for giving us such a memorable day. The setting, the town hall and the taverna were fabulous, along with the weather. We had absolutely nothing to worry about. All we had to do was be ready for the wedding cars on the day.

The photos are absolutely fantastic. So pleased that Neil gave us every photo that he took. We have so many happy memories of our romantic Greek Wedding.

Thanks once again
Take care

Donna

I'm so glad we decided to get married over with you in Kefalonia. It was
great. One of the best decisions we have ever made. Everything was so chilled and laid back. As always in Greece! Our friends have said that it was 'so very us' and they couldn't imagine us doing it anywhere else. It definitely suited us! I could have stayed there for a lot longer!!

Joking aside it was brill. A day that we will never forget. Everyone says
that about weddings I know, but this was truly something special.

Hi Donna,

We just want to say an enormous thank you for organising truly the best day of our lives so far! Our wedding exceeded our expectations in every way (and we had high expectations!).  Everything ran so smoothly and with no stress, allowing us to relax and enjoy every part of our day.  The 9 Muses was definitely the perfect venue and your little added touches to the ceremony were wonderful.

An amazing evening followed an amazing day.  The fireworks, the band, the dancing (and the clapping!) were fantastic and provided us and all our guests with the most memorable of evenings.

It would have been absolutely impossible to have had anything close to our wedding without your help, we are so relieved that we were introduced to you and did not opt for a tour operator wedding.

Please feel free to pass on our e-mail address to anyone who is considering your service, we would be more than happy to recommend you.

Hi Donna,

Thank you so much for making our wedding a really special occasion - it was so much better than we had even dared hope. The sun, the sea, good friends, and no stressful seating plans - perfect !

You were happy to tailor your services to suit our modest budget and then organised everything so well. We have some great photos from Neil, and can also thoroughly recommend the document service.

We wish you all success in your venture and feel sure you will help many other couples enjoy their special day.

Best regards,

George, Debbie, Joshua & Samantha - 9 Muses, 21st July 06

Hello Donna,
Just to say a big thank you for the magnificent wedding you organised for us... what a day, perfect in every detail, we could not have wished for a  more personal service or a more loving attention to detail. It felt as if you were one of our family and you obviously are as we have you on all our video footage!
We look forward to seeing you again in Kefalonia one day... not too far away I hope! with thanks and love Kath and Bob x

Hi Donna,
We would like to thank you for all your hard work in making sure our big day was a fantastic event that we will never forget. The visit to the Castle was a great suggestion and we have some wonderful photographs to treasure. We also have video footage of me and the girls learning to Greek dance under your tutorage, and the boys who as I’m sure you will remember tried their best! We had great fun listening and clapping along to the Greek Band and we are listening to their CD as I type (yes, really)
 We fell in love with Kefalonia and intend to return in the next few years to see the rest of the island, so perhaps we can meet up and catch up.
Thanks once again.
Love

Donna what can I say... our wedding day was so special.

Particularly when you are not in 'the first flush of youth', you know how easy it is to get drawn into arrangements that are not what you want! You listened to us from the start, and knew how simple and relaxed we wanted our day to be and it couldn't have been better.

Thank you so much, we will never forget it. We had a wonderful wedding and wish you every success in the future.

Chris and I would like to say thank you for organising such a fantastic and memorable day. I know I set you a bit of a tough challenge because I knew exactly what I wanted and I wasn't going to waiver on anything, but you organised everything to perfection, even down to the colour shade of the flowers, which you only knew about a few days before the Wedding, but you matched them perfectly. Everyone who's seen the photo's has commented on the attention you paid to fine detail, and you certainly do that.

Chris, myself and our guests really did have a truly special time and without you it would never have happened. Thanks so much Donna.

Some friends of ours said ours was the best wedding abroad they'd been too. In fact they loved it so much they are going back to Skala for a second holiday in September - It really must have been good!

Thanks again Donna, It would be lovely to catch up with you again when we come back next year. If there's anything I can do for you in the UK please let me know.

Warmest regards
Pauline xx

Many thanks for organising our wedding, the boat trip was a beautiful place to toast our wedding and our guests commented that the catering was fantastic! Aghia Efimia was a lovely place to hold our wedding and the local people were still helping us celebrate our marriage days later!!!

Thank you so much for the beautiful wedding you arranged for us. You truly captured everything we wanted to make our day a very special one. Nobody can stop talking about the whole experience from start to finish; I even have one of my bridesmaids now panicking about how to make her own wedding more fun in England.
 
From hearing back from so many of our guests, we think you may have many more weddings to come in the future as so many of our friends said that is how they would now like to do it.
 
The scenery was stunning, the food was impeccable & the bouzouki band was without a doubt the best entertainment we have had in a night. Compliments to the florist, the arrangements that were created were stunning. And any chance of the wedding cake recipe, as we are desperate to be able to taste it again!!
 
You made our wedding a very stress-free, easily organised (from our front anyway!) and a very fun event to plan - something we knew would never happen in England - we will always remember that & will always recommend anybody in future to go down this route.
 
We both had the most special day and know that this could never have been done with the major tour companies out there. Please forward our details on to any of your potential clients should they want to speak to couples about their experience…as ours was certainly an amazing experience we shall never forget.
 
My parents are off to Kefalonia again in a couple of weeks as they have understandably fallen in love with the island, unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we will be able to get out again until next year.
 
We’ll stay in touch.
 
Best Wishes to you & your family,
 
Love
 
Richard & Victoria.

We had a FANTASTIC time, it was so lovely to meet you and your family, the renewal of vows was wonderful, I can't thank you enough for organising, it, it was exactly what we wanted, very simple and really lovely service.  The photographs are fantastic, please thank the guy who did them again for us!  I have stuck the stickers on the back of our cars and have been showing everyone our photo's.  I will write something for our parish magazine so will let you have a copy of that when it's done.

Well I send you all my love, and thanks again, not just for the wedding, but the scrabble games, and lovely company.

Glen and i would like to thank you for making everything so special for our wedding, your warmth and friendship made us feel as if we had known you years.

As you know I first starting chatting to Glen in the chat rooms in June 4 years ago, our first holiday was to Kefalonia the following year In June, we loved it so much we went back again to the 9 Muses in Kefalonia (of course) the next year in June yet again. We actually missed last year as Glen asked me to marry him in June so it was then I knew that I had to get married in June and of course in Kefalonia and of course it had to be the 9 Muses.

As the Internet had brought me so much luck in finding such a special man I went on to the Internet and put in Kefalonia Weddings and first thing that came up was your page I did not have to look any further I knew after e-mailing you that we could leave everything in your capable hands to make it a day to remember.

To any other people planning to get married and are looking at this letter, from the bottom of our hearts, this lady Donna is the best !!!!

Donna, I do hope will meet again hopefully when we come back to Kefalonia.

Love to you All
Sue Glen Megan Sadie Ray and last but not least Oliver

We wanted to say a big Thank you for making our wedding the most memorable day ever for both of us, your professionalism made our day just perfect in every way, nothing was to much trouble and all the extra Greek traditions that you included were so nice.

The chapel at the 9 Muses and the ceremony was so romantic, the wedding feast at the 9 Muses restaurant and the Greek band was outstanding, everything was just perfect and the weather was lovely and all this was down to you and your company (except the weather!).

It was our pleasure to meet you and your family and we hope we will meet again soon.
 
Love from
Sarah Danny & Family

An extra Thank you from my mum for all your help, you made this a day to remember forever.

Hi Donna, it's Clare and Chris.

Chris and I could not have asked for the day to go any smoother and to be any more perfect than it was. The organisation of the day, including the help you gave us with the Hen and Stag nights were perfectly planned with everything falling into place, and your suggestion of visiting the Fanari lighthouse after the ceremony for some stunning photographs were unmissable.

The champagne reception at Thalasomilos was idyllic. The restaurant overlooks the turquoise blue sea with its beautiful backdrop surrounded by hills.

Finally we moved onto the Princess Hotel for our evening reception. The decoration of the room with its waterfall as the centre piece was amazing. The food was traditional Greek dishes with something for everyone. Then, what more could we ask for to finish off the evening with a Greek Bouzouki Band encouraging everyone to get up and dance to the traditional Greek music, followed by a disco. There wasn't anything Chris and I would have changed for the world it was definitely an unforgettable day and we'll remember our special day for the rest of our lives.

Once again thank you so much Donna and we hope to visit again soon.

We both had a fabulous time whilst we were in Kefalonia and so did our 14 guests! We'd like to thank you for lending your individual style towards making the proceedings so unique and personal.

What made the whole event even better than expected was the personal service and attention that you provided, which we couldn't have experienced from Wedding companies operating anywhere else. We wanted something special and individual that would be amazing and memorable, not just for us but for our family too.

The Ceremony itself was perfect and fun too, especially the 'honey' part! We also remember your pursuit of the best waterside taverna and facilitating the get together with the taverna owner 'Yiorgos' who was so amiable & plentiful with the red wine!

I was also especially touched by the special decoration you put together for the taverna because it made it so more personal than the usual decorations chosen for weddings.

What can we say, other than we felt comfortable in the knowledge that you were available if we needed you, we were given the space to enjoy our holiday with the family, you know absolutely everyone & everything on the island and you were and are well respected for all your efforts by the both of us & our family. Best wishes to you & your family.

Lots of Love

We would both like to thank you for your patience, both before and after our arrival. Everything went like clockwork, from Carol's hairdresser, to the taxi arriving on time (in Greece!!!!!) to the ceremony itself, simple and dignified exactly what we wanted.

As someone who deals with the public and who has to co-ordinate services, I know that for things to go that smoothly, someone has been working very hard behind the scenes. You really do tailor the arrangements to suit the clients. Absolutely fantastic from start to finish.

To anyone reading this and trying to decide whether to use Donna’s services, If you want to pay over the odds for a wedding service that fits you into one of their packages, use one of the big operators. If you want a fully professional service, that tailor makes the entire event to suit YOU, and at very competitive costs, use Kefalonia Weddings.

Donna has my contact details and I would be delighted to personally recommend her services if you wish to contact me.

We just wanted to say thank you so much for all your hard work you put into our special day. Having to arrange a wedding for 115 guests couldn't have been easy for you, but everything was perfect. There was nothing we could fault with our day. You are one amazing wedding planner.

It was the most amazing wedding and many people said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. All thanks to you.

The church looked beautiful the way you decorated it inside. The flowers were wonderful.

The photos and dvd are great, we had a laugh at some of them. The cake was the best cake I have ever tasted. The buffet food was great too. The fireworks and band were also amazing and everyone enjoyed them.

You were fantastic, always there if we had a question or query and always with a smile on your face.

If I know of anyone wishing to get married in Kefalonia I will certainly point them in your direction.

Thanks you again for you amazing hard work
Love to you and your family

Just a short note to say thank you once again for what turned out to be an excellent day.

The photos you took at the taverna and the beach are really great, a real nice extra to go with the photographer’s ones.

It;s been hard getting back into the routine of work after such a memorable holiday.  Hope all goes well for you with your future weddings, and if we are ever on Kefalonia again (which I’m sure is a real possibility) we will let you know, as it would be lovely to see you again.

Best wishes

Thank you so very much for organising the best day of our lives. We truly had a wonderful time and will remember it always.

The photos on the CD are really good. We can’t wait to see the video Dave’s brother took and the rest of the photos. Hope to see some on your web site.

Bet you’re really busy this week organising your three weddings, good luck, if they go anything like our wedding they will be just 200% perfect.

Well, we are getting it all sorted slowly in Perth. It has been a busy time for us but quite exciting. I trust things are going well over in Kef.
We had a terrific time and have great memories that will stay with us forever. The whole affair was like one long party.
Thank you very much for your help. The whole wedding process was very easy to organise. had a unique atmosphere about it which we could not have done in Britain. The actual day was just wonderful and everything just went very smoothly and was just a lot of fun! The Greek band was a total surprise for me as most people were non-Greek and they really enjoyed it. The venue was again very good and the owner was very accommodating.

Cheers

Sorry it has taken so long to get in touch, it has taken a lot more than we thought to get back in the swing of things here.

Thank you once again for all the wonderful work that you did for our wedding. The day itself was absolutely perfect and so effortless all thanks to you and your fantastic organisation.  I cannot speak highly enough of the service that we received, and you helped to make our wedding day a day to remember for the rest of our lives.

Once again thank you and we hope to see you again in the future when we next visit Kefalonia.

Alan and I have been home for nearly a week now. It has got very cold in England all of a sudden and we are definitely missing warm and beautiful Kefalonia!

Thanks once again for helping to make our dream wedding a reality - we honestly couldn’t have managed it without you and were so impressed by the thoughtful and elegant touches you gave to it all. As important was your friendly and confident reassurance when nerves started to kick in!

We wish you all the very best and trust that your success continues now and into the future.

With love from Jo and Alan.

Hope you and your family are well. We are good and settling into married life.

We had a wonderful wedding in Kefalonia and I have taken the liberty of putting a few of the reasons why (and this is the short version!). So we can share our good fortune of working with you to organise our wedding.

All of our guests commented on how great you were, and you meant that all I had to concentrate on was looking good!

Sharon and Paddy Harvey x x

  • Donna is English but married to a local so she has built up brilliant relationships with the locals and understands English and Greek customs (so you get the best of both)
  • She can recommend the all the best locations that are 'off the beaten track' for your reception and provide brilliant local entertainment
  • You are the only bride and groom getting married that day for Donna. Most of the travel companies only have a two day window for all of their weddings that week. I stood and watched the Town Hall in Argostoli for 10 minutes one Tuesday afternoon as one bride left and two arrived at the same time. (Can you imagine such a tragedy on your wedding day?? Eek!)
  • You have someone that will answer your questions and organise things before you arrive (I booked my restaurant (which had it's own boat to catch fish and the owners mom working in the kitchen serving the best seafood in the world), booked a band, and hired a coach, before I arrived so I had more time to relax when i got there)
  • I cancelled my booking with a major tour operator as they didn't know how to answer my most basic questions until May when the resort opens - moving me way out of my comfort zone - thankfully Donna answers questions in 24 hours
  • We had 32 guests travel out with us and Donna made sure that everyone was catered for - she even created a toy corner in the restaurant for children to play in.

Again, we find ourselves trying to  express our sincere thanks to you, for all you efforts and attention in  organising our wonderful day.  Your  patience and optimism were never-ending, and ensured that our wedding surpassed  all of our expectations.  During the  entire period that we were in wonderful Kefalonia, you were always there if we  needed you, even for the most trivial of things.  While everyone around us was in a mild  state of panic, you always had a solution, and the calm relaxed approach to  deliver. You have such a passion and talent to ensure that everything goes to  plan.
 
When we think back to our fantastic  time and talk about our wedding, you often feature in our conversations.  We can’t help but smile as you have a  special place in our hearts.  We  can’t wait to return, it already feels like it’s been too  long.
 
We wish you all the luck in the  world with your plans; you certainly deserve to succeed in all that you  do!
 
Love to you and your  family,
 
Faye & Jon  Pyecroft

The  service that we received from Donna was perfect everything was organised for us  making the day absolutely effortless leaving us free to enjoy every single  second. We could not have wished for a more beautiful wedding and one of the main  contributors to that was Donna and her amazing organisational skills.  We  could not of asked for any more from anyone and I would highly recommend that  anyone thinking of getting married in Kefalonia engage Donna as she will just  make the day a day to remember.
