Fantastic service and advice and a very reasonable price. Our best man was interstate and so we had to go by measurements over the phone. The suit was a perfect fit, no alterations required and everyone looked fantastic! My groom was also unable to decide on which tie, so they gave him several to bring home and choose on the day. Could not recommend these guys highly enough.

We walked in with no concrete idea of where we wanted to go, other than that we really wanted a RELAXING and pampering holiday. Julie at Gilles Plains recommended a cruise and we had the time of our lives. 14 days around New Zealand was ideal, we were treated like royalty and everything we were promised was true. The staff at Flight Centre have a wealth of travel knowledge and can't be surpassed.

The ultimate in indulgent honeymoons. We unpacked once, got to travel around New Zealand taking in sights at 7 ports, had all our travel,food and entertainment provided and were treated like royalty. They even gave us special treats like spa treatments and champagne and cake as a bonus for our honeymoon. Princess Cruises have a great range of ships and itineraries to cater for any taste. We will remember this trip for a lifetime, but are planning to go again (Perhaps for our anniversary)!!!

Melannie Bendon was the perfect person to marry us. She made the process of writing the ceremony so easy, giving us ideas but allowing us to make it personal. On the day, everything was so relaxed and informal, that it really felt like she was one of the family. Melannie's friendly approach was exactly what we wanted from a celebrant and I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

We ordered both a wedding cake and an 18th birthday cake for my stepson, which were both delivered to the reception on time and with no fuss or dramas. The price was exceptional and everyone was blown away by the flavours. We didn't need dessert - nothing we could have picked would have beaten the cakes.

Oh My God!! I cannot recommend this company highly enough. From our very first phone call, through countless emails and meetings, to the big day itself we never felt anything less than their most important clients. Special mention to Erin Gray who took over our account halfway through due to someone leaving the company, she simply picked up the ball and ran with it. On the day, everything was seamless. We felt like royalty and it turns out that every single one of our guests felt the same way. Their prices are extremely reasonable, although if you find others are cheaper, just remember that you do get what you pay for.

I tried on only 5 dresses, and when I got to "The One" (Maggie Sottero's Vonda) I just knew. In fact, I was a little bit disappointed that it was so easy. Maggie's designs are so elegant and beautiful, quite floaty so easy to walk and dance in which is very important to me. Everyone commented on the beautiful detailing on the gown and I really felt like a princess. Price was reasonable and very little adjustments needed, apart from length. I had seen the dress in a bridal magazine but would never have imagined that I could wear that style so don't be close minded. Best advice is to trust the girls in the bridal salon. They do this all the time and really know what they are talking about.

My best advice in picking your dress is to have a basic idea what you want then trust the staff to select some dresses to try on. They do this all the time and really know their stuff. I would never have believed I could wear the gown I ended up purchasing when I saw it in a bridal magazine, but it was perfect. The girls look after you really well, but be wary about extra fees for alterations and storage, although I believe most bridalwear stores are about the same. But certainly for variety and price of the gowns, with lots of sales throughout the year if you aren't in a hurry, I would recommend Jenny and Gerry's thoroughly.

As we were already living together, my groom and I were hesitant to register, but found that it was really a great idea. As it was pointed out to us, everyone wants to help celebrate and show their love so a list of things that we could actually use is really helpful and by using a registry service, the onus is taken off of family members. Myer has competitive prices and a wonderful bonus and completion program so I would highly recommend them for weddings, christenings, even special birthdays.
