Dear Coral Kortlepel

Hi Coral

Just a quick email to let you know we have not forgotten what a superb job you did for us on our wedding day on 3 January 2004. It truly was a memorable and wonderful occasion for all concerned and we can not thank you enough - You did us Pommies proud !!! PS - Please could you also pass on our sincerest thanks to Val the Harpist as we did not get chance to thank her after the ceremony and also to the ladies who provided the drinks. Everyone concerned, particularly the harpist were extremely well received. She was brilliant so please thank her for us.

All the very best and we will be in touch within the next couple of weeks.

Craig & Becca (McEvoy!!)U.K.

Hi Coral,

This is a VERY late message to thank you for arranging our wedding in March this year. Organising a wedding in Australia from the UK was, we thought, going to be a complete administrative nightmare, but with you in charge it was dreamily easy! We are not sure how you achieved it, but you managed to make our little gathering informal and fun yet still romantic, as you promised. And moreover, we thoroughly enjoyed your company, and appreciated your kindness to our very elderly witnesses. Your assistance in helping to arrange every aspect of the day, made it so simple for us. Hope you are well and happy and that business is booming. We've told all our friend here: the married ones are deeply envious of our laid-back day, and the unmarried ones are considering the option quite seriously!

Best regards
Sheila and Graham U.K.

Hi Coral,

We continue to float on cloud nine and again special thanks to you for everything you have done for us to make our special day happen. Your a sweetheart and thank God there are such warm and caring people as yourself in the world. Michael Z (Photographer) kept his promise and made me look reasonable good next to beautiful Herlien and yourself. It was a fantastic day and most of all it was fun. Michael Z is a sweet, fun guy and did a great job in making us feel comfortable. It was as if an old friend were taking pictures of this important event in Herlien and my life. Coral, we look forward to seeing you in the near future and if you ever decide to visit Bali, it would be our honor to meet you and your husband, Fritz? here.

Warm regards,
Santo and Herlien from Bali

Dear Coral,
Yes we are back in Buetzer. Its very cold and windy here but we are happy having our baby Kyra back in our arms.I often open our marriage album and to be honest have tears in my eyes because they remind me of a great time and one of the greatest days of my life. Sean really did a great work on the photos and I thank you for recommending him to us. If you want me to write something to other couples let us know . I try my best English to tell them how glad we are having chosen you as our celebrant.

Best greetings from Germany
Sven and Ilka "Schoenberg"

Dear Coral

I am so sorry that Eric and I haven't contacted you sooner to thank you for a wonderful wedding. In fact it is a month today since we did the deed!

We have talked about it almost everyday since and will always remember it as the best thing we ever did and the best way we could ever have done it. Emma and Richard said what a lovely service it was and that they found it very emotional too.

Our photos of the day are wonderful and the video is super, everybody back home who has seen them loves them. Raoul and Brian did us proud, as did you.

Eric and I went to a wedding on Saturday and it just brought all the memories of the feelings we had flooding back. Weddings will always mean so much more to me now that I have tied the knot as I know just how the couple will be feeling.

Also please pass our thanks to Kylie, who did a fantastic job of my hair and our make-up. Emma was really pleased and thought how fabulous to have somebody come to the hotel who could do both. In the UK most brides have to go to the salon for their bridal make-up and hair. I will find a picture which shows Kylie's work off and if she wants to put it in her portfolio that would be fine with me too.

Thank you again,
With very best wishes, Katy and Eric U.K.

Hi Coral,

Just an email to thank you for all your hard work and effort that you put in to make our wedding so special and such a fantastic, memorable occasion. Your hard work on the planning and coordination was so much appreciated and everything worked out fine, didn't it? Many of our friends and family mentioned what a great job you did at the wedding ceremony itself. We all felt that you had a special, warm presence but did a great job of standing back from the action to ensure it was still our own special day.

Please also thank Kylie who did a lovely job on the hair and make-up. Also, please say special thanks to the gentleman who did our flowers. The flowers were spectacular!

Also, thanks for your recommendations for Helen (photographer), Brian (video) and Margaret Keeble (cake) who all did highly professional jobs. We will be thanking them too personally!

They say that a wedding abroad can sometimes be a hotch-potch affair that cannot be as good as if you are doing it round the corner from home. However, for us you ensured that this was definitely not the case and you made our wedding the most fantastic, well-planned day!

With much love,
Helen and Blair Jenkins!! U.K.

Dearest Coral

We have recently spent some wonderful moments reliving Craig and becca's Wedding in Oz. I know we thanked you at the time for your beautiful words and blessing but after watching the dvd we wanted to thank you once again. You really made the wedding special. We had Craig's Grandma along with other family members on Friday evening to watch the DVD which is really stunning but they all remarked how much they loved your service and the things you said. You made us feel as if we had known you for years and made the day so memorable. We had a wonderful time in Australia and will carry those special memories with us for the rest of our lives. The people out there were really special. Thank you once again Coral it was so good to have met you

May God Bless you
Keith and Sue u.k. (Craig's Mum and Dad)

Hi Coral,

Happy New Year to you. . We had the best Christmas day ever, being our wedding day, and a lovely meal at the Sea-Level restaurant, and thank you for everything. We couldn't have asked for a better day. The whole ceremony was so intimate and just perfect. Our guests, Rachael & Andrew said it was the best wedding that they had been to. I loved the idea that it was so 'spur-of-the-moment' when choosing the location, and it was great when we arrived at the beach that we could change our mind about the exact place we wanted to get married and move the table accordingly to get the best shots.

You dealt with the complete organization of the ceremony from start to finish so professionally, and we thank you for that. Being able to search for a wedding celebrant via the internet only 2 months ago, to selecting yourself, to e-mailing this person, from the other side of the world, who we put our complete trust in and whom we had never met was initially a little daunting, but as soon as I met you and saw how you dealt with the whole ceremony, you made us feel completely relaxed and it was then that I knew that we'd made the right decision in choosing you.

Michael was excellent too and we were so pleased with the shots that he had taken. He made us look so natural, and put us at complete ease. He went out of his way to meet us in Sydney afterwards to show us the shots and to do a slide-show with music too was just fantastic.

Thank you so much again Coral. All the best.
Zoe and Simon Barber u.k.

Dear Coral,

We have just arrived back in the UK with some of the most wonderful photographs of our day. We would like to thank you so much for your time and effort that went 'above and beyond' in order that our day be so perfect. All of the services provided were superb and we set you a fair task in finding the wonderful 'Aboriginal Didgeridoo player' with just a few weeks to go, but you came up trumps. I would like to thank also Jenny McCarthy - Stunning individual cakes Kylie - Hair and Make up Andrew - Bouquet, absolute replica of the photo that I had emailed Val - Champagne and Canapés Helen - Photographer, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, she was great fun Didgeridoo player Thanks so much once again for performing the ceremony and your assistance in helping with the arranging all the service providers, I would highly recommend you for any future wedding.

Kind regards
Jo and Darren u.k.

Dear Coral

Where do we begin to say thank you, for the beautiful wedding day that you provided for us. We really did not know where to start when we decided to get married in Australia, and make there our dream honeymoon destination. But from the first moment of contact to the actual day, you never disappointed us. It did not matter what the question was, or the task we asked assistance with, you managed to calm us and tell us that it had been arranged. Your immediate answers to our questions, and the wonderful ceremony that you made so personal,were all parts of making our day incredible. We thank you so very very much. We will always hold Australia dear in our hearts. Your truly a remarkable lady and we feel blessed to have found you.

Michael and Kathleen (Ireland)

Coral, Fred, Mike,

Just a note to thank you all sincerely for helping us to enjoy our day on Balmoral. Coral, thanks for all the arrangements you made for us - everything about them suited us perfectly. Thanks to both you and Fred for helping us to enjoy it all in a pleasant and casual way.

We were afraid that it might be a little impersonal or that we would feel like we were "just another couple" to you - we certainly didn't feel like that on the day. Fred, if you're ever in Clare we owe you a beer!!

Michael, we received your CD today and are delighted with the photos. Again, thanks for making it pain-free. We really didn't want a prissy fussy primadonna taking our photos. We had great fun with you and the photos are magic!

A cairde, go raibh maith agaibh
(our friends, thank you)

Caroline and Marcus (Ireland)

Dear Coral,

Just want to express our sincere gratitude to you for making our wedding such a wonderful day.

From the very moment that we planned to get married in Australia, we knew that it would be a big challenge to us, and we are so lucky that we found your name on the internet. From the positive comments by various overseas couples made on you, we knew that you are the person that we could trust. And you did prove to us that we've made the right choice.

The ceremony was so fantastic, touching and unforgettable. The location you chose for us was really wonderful. Thank you for bringing our wedding so amazing and memorable. Please also pass our special thanks to your husband Fredrick and Darlene (who took wonderful pictures for us). Without their presence, our wedding won't be so complete.

Coral, Fredrick and Darlene, you will definitely be a very special part of our memory forever. Unquestionably, we will recommend you to our friends who wish to have a special wedding in Australia.

Wish you and your family every success in 2007 as well as the years to come.

Regards,

Selvia & Stephen (Hong Kong)

Hi Coral,

Just a note from the both of us to say how pleased we were with the ceremony that you conducted on our wedding day.

We were both really pleased with the whole day and we couldn’t have asked for more from you in fulfilling our requirements. You made everyone feel at ease and made us feel like it was your first ceremony and that we were the most important people in the world. We would like to thank you wholeheartedly for the effort you put into the ceremony and the effortless way you have dealt with us throughout has been exemplary.

We will recommend you to any people we know who are getting married in Australia as the results you produced were simply delightful.

Thanks for everything Coral and we wish you all the best for the future.

Best Regards

Andrew & Eva U.K.
