The Whitsundays Wedding industry was spared some potentially bad publicity recently. If you read the front page article in this weeks local paper, the Whitsunday Coast Guardian, then you will recognize that this letter is from the Bride & Groom, Renae & Matt. That article can be found here.
The following is correspondence from Renae and Matt:
WOW, what a rollercoaster, and I tell you the final straight was the best.
The wrap up of events....
1. Thanks to Phil for the Whitsundays Limo at the Airport - the best airport transfer ever!!
Thanks also to James and Phil for meeting us there, a very pleasant surprise and it was great to finally meet you both.
2. Cathy at Airlie Apartments was sensational. Hospitality was fantastic and the rooms were great. We could not have wanted anything more, they were perfect! I have jumped on Trip Advisor and provide a review of Airlie Apartments and the generous hospitality. She even drove us to the marina for the ceremony and to the airport to leave.
3. Sharon from Guardian was fabulous. I just got off the phone with her and the stories sound great. I hope it is recognition of our the community has banded together. We even made it into the social pages, getting snapped at Capers on Saturday night!!
4. SV Domino.....WOW. Julie and Reg were amazing. Fussea Buggers catering and Julie provided great nibbles to get us through our nerves, several cups of tea, and reg gave us a nice smooth ride to Lovers Cove. Julie even did me a rose bouquet totally unexpected and the boys had button hole roses. They were both wonderful and could not have done more to help us out! I have provided a ripper of a review on Trip Advisor
5. Daydream - Christine and Brad were waiting for us on our arrival. They had the place set up beautifully! They allocated us an extra hour as photos took so long and did so with no dramas at all. They were great and an awesome venue.
6. Waterline on Shingley Restaurant! WOW, what an experience. 4 hours of dining BLISS. Awesome food & seafood, my favourite. Sam's hospitality was great, and the Chef even came out for a chat and to ask our opinion of the food. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves, awesome wine and 3 yummy courses! I have provided a review on Trip Advisor
7. Ziggy Ziegler Photography - was fabulous! His photos are amazing. He was there from when we boarded to the restaurant. His photos are out of this world and on Friday, yes one day after the Wedding, he provided us with an extremely generous package of 360 printed photos, a CD of all photos, and his favourites blown up. I will send some through. He was wonderful spending time with him and learning some tricks of the trade!
8. Ivan Conway - Ivan has been very flexible over the last month. He was very professional and worked well with Ziggy as they have worked together before.
9. Voyager - Stephan and his crew were awesome....the trip was great and Helen from Tropix photography gave us some extra special attention taking some great fun shots on Whitehaven beach and a package of 10 free printouts and a disc. I have messaged and uploaded some stuff to their facebook site for Tropix and Voyager
10. General Airlie Businesses.....
We have some outstanding meals all based on recommendations: Ship Wrecked, Coral Sea Resort Restaurant, Capers, and Sirocco Restaurant!!
We went and spent (!) at the Airlie Beach markets on Saturday, I did the run out to Cannonvale and Matt and I did the Whitsunday's Trial Run on Sunday.
All in all the Wedding and Honeymoon ended up perfect, better than we ever would have expected thanks to 3 people........
JAMES, PHIL AND JEN!!! You are all champions, and maybe should go into business as wedding planners :-)
We are definitely coming back to Airlie Beach for our 1 year anniversary!
Regards
Renae
