Testimonials

Dear Shobha & Jacky,

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding day so incredible and special! Your organisation, advice and helpfulness made the lead up to our wedding so easy and stress free (especially when living interstate!).

Your beautiful and easygoing personalities made you wonderful to deal with, both in the time before our wedding and on the day. We can honestly say that absolutely everything went 100% perfectly on the day and this was due to your fantastic planning and expertise. We could not have asked for better people to deal with and would recommend you to anyone who is thinking of planning a wedding in Port Douglas. Thank you again for making our wedding the most amazing and memorable day!

We cant wait to see the photos as Jacky's local knowledge of the amazing locations was brilliant!

Dear Shobha,

A special thanks for all the hard work you did in organising our wedding!

You made the whole process so easy and we couldn't fault anything, the day was perfect! The church looked beautiful, our hair & make-up lady was amazing, and the driver we had for our cars was great fun.

Jacky our photographer was fantastic, she made everyone feel at ease and the photo's are beautiful. Kate our videographer was lovely and we are so happy that she has captured our day so perfectly.

So thank you again for making our day so special. Could you please ensure that our thanks are passed on to everyone involved as we are very grateful for the hard work they put in.

 Hi Shobha,

Thank you for your email and yes, we are back to reality with a bump! We have only been home for 5 days but the wedding already feels like such a long time ago!

From both Adam and myself, we want to thank you for all of your assistance in coordinating our wedding at St Mary's. The wedding was even better than we could imagined, set in such a gorgeous venue and surrounds and was the relaxed, informal and stress-free wedding that we wanted ... our perfect day! You have been wonderful to work with - your help, incredibly quick responses to our many questions and patience was really appreciated. Organising a wedding from the other side of the country and by email / internet surely should not have run so smoothly, and this was all thanks to you!!

Could we also pass on our thanks to Jacky and Rob. We have been a part of so many weddings where the photographer seemed to dominate the day and really appreciated the relaxed and friendly approach to recording our special day, we hardly noticed them!! Kay was absolutely wonderful and all of the other people who assisted us on the day. 

We will be singing your praises to anyone who is looking for a tropical wedding - HUGE thanks again.

Best Wishes

Dear Shobha,

Doesn't time fly? We've been home in Melbourne for over a week now but it still feels like the wedding was just yesterday (oh so cliche / it really does!!). The day was a smashing success, with such a big blue sky all day and twinkling stars to dance the night away. We were so very happy with your service from our initial enquiry (over 18 months ago!!) right through to when we dropped in to collect our odds and ends on the Saturday. You were always the fastest at replying to our many emails and we knew all along that everything to do with the ceremony would be seamless thanks to you.

Your continued professionalism every step of the way is truly an asset to Port Douglas Weddings, they are very fortunate to have you!
 
We'll definitely be recommending your services to anyone who asks (and anyone who will listen) and we would be very happy to be referees for any of your prospective clients.
 
All the very best

Hi Shobha, Jacky & Jeanine,

Sorry for the delay in reply! We wanted to say a very big thankyou for helping us out on our wedding day. You made what seemed like a daunting task, easy and stress free. From the lead up to the actual day, you calmed all our nerves and allowed us to enjoy every moment of the day.  Shobha was excellent in returning emails and answering questions, which made us feel reassured that we were in very good hands.  Jason and I had an amazing day and we can not thankyou you enough for the huge effort you put into our wedding.  

We would highly recommend your services to anyone thinking about getting married "Up North".
 
We would like to wish everyone at Port Douglas Weddings a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year.
 
Thank you again, and take care

Hi Shobha,

Where do I begin? Thank you for all of your efforts in making our wedding day so special. Every detail was looked after and nothing was ever too much trouble. 

All of our guests commented on your professionalism and they couldn't have been more correct - it has been such a pleasure dealing with Port Douglas Weddings. So many people would say to us - 'it must be so hard planning a wedding from far away', but that couldn't be further from the truth. You made our planning so easy and we truly appreciate it.

We cannot recommend Port Douglas Weddings highly enough, you are a fantastic team and have made our wedding day so special.

Kind Regards

Mathew & Courtney Williamson (3/4/2010)

Hi Shobha, Jacky and Rob
 
Thank you so much for the email and best wishes - we didn't get a chance to see you after the ceremony - it was a whirlwind!  We had the best day of our lives - the ceremony was by far the highlight.   Shobha - you were amazing.   Thank you soooooooo much for all that you did from fluffing the veil to the ringing of the church bells. And also putting the flowers on the boys suits!!!   A proper thank you will be in the mail when we get back from our honeymoon and we will be sure to send you some photos too.
 
Lots of love

Hello Jacky and Shobha
 
I want to thank you both so very much for everyhting that you have done for us on our wedding day and the months up to it. All the little reminders that you have sent to me was great. The church looked beautiful and the day was too. It could'nt have worked out better. I have recieved our photos and they look amazing. I was so pleased with all the different spots that you took us to. Aj Hackett had a beautiful setting aswell and that too went smoothly. The whole day kinda went right before our eyes, everything happened so quickly so to have a photographer is a must. Thanks so much again. I love my photos. hehe
 
Cheers to you both for everything

Lorraine & Brett (15/4/2010)

Hi Shobha,

We really want to thank you all so much for all your support with our wedding last Saturday. The entire day was absolutely perfect and you all played vital parts in making our vision of it come true. The location, weather, guest size, chapel, ceremony, photographs, flute playing, wedding cake and reception were beyond excellent and we were thrilled with every element.

Shobha, your constant support and optimism meant alot to us during the build up to the wedding - thank you!
So an enormous thank you to you all. You all do such an amazing job and we so appreciate your special part in our very special day.  You all enabled us to have our dream wedding and more importantly to provide such fantastic memories for us and our family for many years to come.

Kind regards and hugs,

Janelle & Matt Jacobsen

Thanks Shobha,

Dealing with your company really was exceptional - your reputation in particular is quite prolific it would seem, and everyone we spoke to agreed that you're "a real professional".

Thankyou for making everything so easy - the chapel was a real delight, our guests loved it, and while I was quite hot and bothered at the alter (might have had something to do with the nerves and veil however!), all our guests said they remained very cool and comfortable.

We've had such a memorable, fun-filled week, and thankyou for your involvement.

Warm Regards,

Kristy Fraser-Kirk (nee Miller)

Hi Shobha, Jacky & Rob,

A massive thank you to all of you!  We received the photos and DVDs yesterday and I can only say that they are nothing short of brilliant!
 
Both Ben and I really appreciate everything you did for us and the photos and DVDs have certainly exceeded our expectations.  We watched it together last night and it was just like being there again.  I went to show my parents and they had a big cry watching it and looking at the photos.  I've shown everyone at work today and they're all massively impressed too.  So that's all I'll be doing now - no one's safe, I'll be showing anyone I come across!
 
The quality of the photos is brilliant and after being so impressed with all my friend's photos, I didn't expect such a difference but top notch job there Rob!  
 
And I love what you did with the music on the DVD, it is just perfectly done.  The helicopter pictures are great and one of my favourites is a picture of our hands holding in the helicopter, excellent detail there!
 
So again and again, thank you all soooo much for getting us through this - we're happier than ever!
 

Justine & Ben

Thanks
