Testimonials
Maria and Peter
Thank you for all your hard work in making our wedding day spectacular.
Arranging a wedding abroad is never an easy task - made even more tricky but the fact we had never even been to Phuket! However your knowledge of the local suppliers and your contacts made our dream wedding possible. From the band to the florist to the hairdresser - they were all fantastic. The location was unforgettable and the venue was dressed to perfection. I am sure we will return to the gorgeous wedding villa for a future holiday - complete with the new addition to our family, due in January 2010!
Thank you again for everything!

Dear Peter and Maria,
Well, where do we start! Let's try 9 months ago when Tiff met Maria and began planning our wedding. From Day One Maria was so accommodating and welcoming and we felt as if Maria knew exactly what we were trying to achieve on our special day. Her insight and ideas into how we could realise our vision were spot on and anything we suggested were always met with positivity and a can-do attitude.
Your attention to detail and continual follow up made planning our wedding all the way from Melbourne effortless and we always felt as if everything was under control. They say the little things count and you certainly left no stone unturned in adding to the wow factor at the venue.
In the lead up to our day you were both always available to have a quick chat (to calm our nerves!) and make any final unexpected changes without any fuss. Having discussed the experience afterwards this certainly made us feel relaxed and your flexibility was much appreciated.
On the day everything was perfect!! The venue was immaculate, the flowers were amazing and the food was unbelievable. Our friends and family are still talking about the day and the time they had. The amount of photos we have received has been incredible and we can not thank you enough for making the best day of our lives unforgettable.
Thank you for everything and we look forward to catching up next time we are in Phuket.
Best Regards,
Sash and Tiff

Hi Maria,
I was going through the beautiful photo’s from our wedding yesterday and wanted to let you know what an incredible job you did. Everything was just too easy Nik and I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Yourself, Peter and Sofia were friendly, understanding and professional. I would be more than happy to recommend your services to anyone who chooses to get married in Phuket. It was more like a great party than a wedding, so much fun.
Forever thankful

Hi Maria and Peter,
Well, the guests have all gone home (well save for my in-laws who keep extending their stay), the “mini” moon is over and the bride is back at home writing thank you notes ... I think that means the wedding is over but I’m still holding out that I missed an event!
I’m sure there are no two people more relieved that it’s all over than you both. I know it was one hell of a (pardon my language) shit fight those last 48 hours to pull everything together and I just wanted to thank you and your team from the bottom of my heart for your monumental efforts and your absolutely perfect delivery. It was truly my dream wedding and I unequivocally could not have done it without you.
Maria, you are just magical the way you pull anything and everything off as requested and recommend both the best and the most reliable vendors – something that might seem a given in the western world but we all know is a rarity in Thailand. I know you just about drove yourself to heatstroke the day of the wedding and I just wanted you to know that all the tireless efforts did not go unnoticed.
Peter, the coordination and execution of the dinner was flawless. I’ll get to the food in a minute...
Everyone commented on how great the serving staff was and on a night that was that hot and sticky things like not waiting for wine or water made all the difference and were much appreciated. Now, the food. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. My only regret is that I haven’t been there to eat more of the leftovers. I am still hankering after the crab appetizer. Many of my married friends have told me that they didn’t eat at their own weddings because they just found themselves running around and mingling, full of excitement and nerves. Well this bride went back for seconds and only when I was so full that I could barely breath did I decide that thirds might be pushing it.
I truly can’t say thank you enough for everything. Hopefully when you’ve recovered from the stress and exhaustion and can get over to my parent’s at some stage to share a bottle of the wine we left in our wake!
All our love and thanks,
Trace (and Si)
Pete and Maria were phenomenal. I shopped around for Party Planners in Phuket and they were by far the most responsive, affordable and knowledgeable of the area. They helped me plan a party for over 3000 guests and a budget of over $10000. I'd recommend them to anyone!

Hi Maria,
We arrived home on the 6th November safe and sound. Thank you all so much for making our wedding day perfect and one to remember for the rest of our lives. I am so glad the weather held out for us as the following day was terrible much like the day before. The photos are perfect. Everyone back at home loves them. Our dinner was great too. We had a private room which was more personal. I will highly recommend your services to anyone who is interested. Once again, thank you for making our wedding day a memorable one.
Rachel and Damian.
Dear Maria and Staff @ Phuket Weddings & Events
We would like to offer to you and your team our gratitude and sincere THANKS for making our special day, even more special. When Steve and I decided to have our Commitment Ceremony in Phuket (a place we adore) this July we couldn't have imagined how fantastic it could have been, and this was made even more so because of the hassle free service you provided to us. Trying to organise this day from another country can always be so daunting, however you and your team would keep us informed and respond to us so promptly that it made it all the more pleasant and reassuring.
Our Ceremony and Reception was more than we
even envisaged and it is a memory that we will hold with us forever, the food, the staff and the Venue were sublime.
So once again THANKYOU so much and We will have no hesitation in recommending you and your team to any of our friends and family who are thinking of celebrating their special day in Phuket.
Take Care and we hope to catch up with you when we return to Phuket to celebrate our anniversary!!
Thank you

Firstly, we'd like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to you both for organising our wedding. It was absolutely magical! We both thoroughly enjoyed every minute!
We thank you for your professionalism and kindness and would highly recommend you both to anyone who is proposing to get married in Thailand.
Every aspect of the day from the decorations, venue, celebrant to how well our guests were looked after was perfect.
We appreciate your patience and understanding in answering all of our questions and helping make our wedding the best day of our lives.
So, thank you so so much for everything.
Lastly, we don't mind if you would like to use our photos, in fact we are very flattered!
Many thanks again and we wish you much happiness and success in your future.
Kind regards,
Seonna & Luke
Dear Lena & Maria
We want to thank you again for arranging our wedding. It really was absolutely perfect. We all couldn't have had a more wonderful day. Everything about it was better than we could have imagined and it was almost as though you had organised the perfect weather too!
Thank you for the email and attachments. Thank you also, for sorting out the translation and postage and for finding my mum's cardigan!
Wishing you all the best for the future.

Dear Lena & Maria
I would like to offer you both my sincere thanks for the way you organised the wedding for Caroline and Matthew. Your care and attention to detail meant the whole event was wonderful, from the civil ceremony in the morning right through to getting the (slightly) inebriated guests back to our accommodation. The venue was superb and your choice of celebrant was spot on. Please pass my thanks on to John and also the lovely people responsible for producing the superb food, whose names I'm afraid I failed to enquire for. And of course the photographers. We weren't expecting 3 of them! The photos are lovely and will be treasured.
Best Wishes

Hi there!
Ian and I just wanted to quickly thank you for ensuring that the supposed best day of our lives WAS the best day of our lives!! It was all so romantic and personal that all of our friends and family commented! We all had such a special day and I can’t find a single photo where people aren’t smiling or laughing! Many thanks again and all the best for the future.

Dear Lena and Maria (Sea & Sand, Phuket),
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our big day in life just as special and wonderful as it could be.
With very short notice and with large engagement you succeeded to create our dream wedding and gave us a memorable experience. All along you have given us a professional and personal treatment and everything has worked so easily, from our first contact to the big day when you personally saw through that everything was settled as it should be. Every little detail and setting has been perfect and all along you have listened to our thoughts and ideas and from that come up with flexible suggestions. We recommend Sea & sand as wedding organizer to everyone that wants to get married in the beautiful Thailand.
Best regards,

Dear Maria and Lena
We would like to thank you again for making our wedding day so spectacular. Your professional approach and amazing delivery of the event matched your enthusiasm and ideas throughout the months leading up to the day.
We consulted many event organisers to host our wedding, but you both were way ahead of the competition in terms of good ideas, friendliness and honesty. We would highly recommend your services to anyone considering holding a wedding there – maybe even our ten-year anniversary
Keep well, and please let us know if you ever make it to HK, we would be very happy to take you out on the town!
Best wishes

A warm thanks for helping us celebrate our big day in such style!! It all went so effortlessly which usually means that there is someone working hard in the background. It is always the small attentions to detail that make something special and we were both surprised by the meticulous organisation of the ceremony. To have been married on Phuket was everything we expected and more and while we certainly don’t expect to be married again we would both like to replay the day. Back in cold and wet Scotland now dreaming of that beach!
