Hi Keli!
Now that we've had a chance to catch our breathes - I wanted to send you a big thank you for all you have done for us. Everyone is raving about the wedding and about the great time they all had. Looking back at the photos makes me very nostalgic for Belize and the time that we had - it was all AMAZING! It all feels like a dream... thank you for making it all come true!
Please do keep in touch and let us know when you are next in the States - it would be great to see you.
All the best,
Amanda and Robard
Hi Keli!
Sorry it's taken us so long to get back to you. We arrived home last week and since then we have been slowing adjusting to reality....needless to say it's been hard.
Anyway, Curt and I wanted to thank you again for all your help in planning the wedding. It was absolutely perfect!
Everything was perfect, the flowers, the arch, the ceremony, the resort, the beach, the reception, the cake, etc. Curt and I and our family and friends had so much fun! There were many compliments to you on how wonderful the wedding was and how great of a job you did (I just wanted to pass that along). Everyone loved Belize and many of our friends and family (Curt and I included) are already talking about their next trip.
As for the honeymoon, well that was perfect too, a little rainy at times, but it didn't matter. Costa Rica is beautiful! We went ziplining, relaxed in the hot springs at Arenal, got messages, went kayaking, walked on the beach, laid by the pool, ate too much, etc. I definitely recommend a visit there, however, as beautiful as it is, Belize is still my favorite place!
When Curt and I started talking about having our wedding in Belize, I didn't think we could pull it off. I don't think we could have if it weren't for you. We honestly can't thank you enough for all you have done. This is one wedding I don't think ANYONE will forget. Thanks for the memories!
Curt and Lori
P.S. Next time we are in Belize we will be sure to give you a call!
Keli,
Thank you SO MUCH for everything! I'm sorry we forgot to call before we left White Sands, it totally slipped our minds and by the time we remembered, it was too late.
You were awesome and we're so happy with how beautiful evrything was! It was truely the best day ever and you really made it special for us. We can't thank you enough. I just hope that other people realize how great you are at your job and how much you put into everything.
Thanks again and please stay in touch!
Jen & Mike
Keli!
Wow.... What a day! Everything was perfect. Thank you so much. You are truly blessed with a special talent.
I was looking through all my stuff and I don't think I got that participation certificate from the minister....did you snag a copy? I am anxiously awaiting the CD! I would also like to sing your praises to anyone who is considering a belizean wedding and in search of a planner, please consider me when potential brides are looking for the best!
The movers come tomorrow and I am swamped with boxes, so much to do! I do want to extend a welcome to San Diego if you're ever in the need of a tropical vacation away from your tropical vacation spot. We'd love to have you, your labrador and a guest!
Always a pleasure.
Dani
Keli,
Thank you again for a wonderful wedding!!!...and thank you for the bottle of wine at dinner!!! You were great! We were so happy with our wedding and impressed with all of your correspondences and the arrangements.
Thank you again,
Dan & Shanin Kenney
Keli,
Thanks for a beautiful, memorable, amazing wedding trip and ceremony. We were lucky to have you there, you will be recommended over and over and over again. We couldn't have done it without you.
I will also send you pictures after Naomi has mastered them, and hers and robs contact info. I have seen some previews and they are beautiful!
Thanks again,
Meghan and Mike!!!!
Dear Keli,
John and I have only been home for 4 days and we are already talking about when we can return to Ambergris Caye, Belize! It was definitely our best vacation ever.... and my wedding was LITERALLY a page out of a fairy tale!
Everyone agrees that you should win some kind of award for the your amazing talent as a wedding planner! I loved my "special water" and fan programs! John's t-shirt was sooo funny and i LOVE the "mother of the bride" and "father of the bride" baseball hats! Sari made our stay at La Perla Del Caribe so special. If we ever have a beach house we want it to look just like Villa Pearl at La Perla!
I am sooo obsessed with my photos! (i seriously love myself in 55 and 39) hahaha! my flowers are PERFECTION!!!!....even better than what i imagined!!!
Thanks again! It was definitely the best day of my life!!!!
XOXO, shari
Dear Keli,
The whole entire trip was amazing. I am back at work now and just following up with emails. Thanks again for everything. It was such a great time, I don't even know what to say. There is no way I could have had that kind of party up here!!! The only way to have that much fun was to get away and you helped with that big time, thanks so much. I have the marriage certificate from Mom & Dad and have already started the process of changing my name. That is really weird by the way... exciting but weird. I have had to practice writing my new last name so many times... I am really slow at signing it right now but I am sure I will get faster in time.

Dear Keli,
Just wanted to say thank you! It was a very special day! Never could I have imagined that getting married could be so easy and stress-free! I could not have planned it better myself! The weather was amazing and the sun was shining all day! After the ceremony, we had the most beautiful sunset! It was absolutely perfect! Blanca was an absolute doll! She was great! The flowers were also beautiful and we look forward to getting our pictures developed! After the ceremony, Clayton and I walked down the beach and had our wedding dinner at Capricorn! I highly recommend it! It was the most romantic location! Thank you Keli for everything!!!!
Allison and Clayton!
Dear Keli,
We are in Portland visiting family right now. All went well and we were very happy. The wedding was beautiful and you and Blanca did an excellent job on everything. Marilyn and Michelle were great to work with at the hotel. The trellis was beautiful, and they took some really great pictures.
Thank you.
Take care, Kelly
Hello!
Well, I FINALLY had time to put together albums of the pictures from the wedding. I am very sorry for the delay -- suffice it to say that I have been insanely busy at work since we returned from Belize, and I am just now surfacing for air.
We wanted to thank each of you again for everything you and your staff did to make our wedding absolutely PERFECT! You thought of every detail so we didn't have to -- and that was better than we could even imagine!! We can't possibly thank you enough!
The following link is an album of pictures from the trip (hanging out, poker nights, snorkeling & diving, cave tubing, Mayan ruins, dinners. This link is an album of pictures from the wedding day:
Please let me know if you want any of these pictures to include on your website, and I can send them to you on a CD (we also have a ton more pictures on CD -- what we uploaded was only a subset). Also, if you have pictures and don't mind sharing, we'd love to see them.
Hope all is well -- and we hope to see you again very soon. Take care.

We arrived San Pedro in the evening, checked in our hotel at Royal Caribbean, and headed to town for dinner at a great local place. I can't remember the names of all the places we ate but the food was great everywhere but one place! We were so tired but somehow made it to pack in quite a few drinks our first night which made it hard to get up our first day. The next afternoon we met our wedding coordinator to fill out paperwork. She took us to lunch and we had a great time. Later we went snorkling, it was amazing! Shark Ray Alley was so cool! The next three day we relaxed and just walked around and were beach bums! It was perfect, we hardly did a thing! We found the people of Belize to be very friendly and kind people.
The wedding- It was raining all morning! By the afternoon the sun came out and rain stopped. We ran into Kelly, our coordinator, in the afternoon and she gave us a ride on her golf cart back to Royal Caribbean. My husband (well fiance at the time) decided last minute he did want more wines so we had her pick some up and on her way back to the resort hubbie realizes he forgot his wedding shirt! So 45 minutes before the ceremony he asks her to run to town and pick out a black button down size large and bring it back. What pressure! She made it, found one, and we were thrilled. The ceremony was just the two of us, the minister, and our witnesses were coorinator and a girl brought for us. Both lovely people. The ceremony was beautiful! The minister did a beautiful ceremony and our coodinator included a heart shaped sand jar for us to fill with sand during the ceremony and take back for memories. It was perfect. The entire day could not have been more perfect and we couldn't have done it without the help. We asked them to stay for our champagne toast and hangout with us a bit, it was fun to have our "maid of honor" and second witness at our ceremony. We watched the sunset then headed to town for dinner. We are big fans of El Patio so we ate there.
The next day we continued beach bumming and the day after went to the mainland. We stayed at Five Sisters and it was beautiful. Their staff was excellent. We found food to be best at Blancaneax Lodge. This was out honeymoon and where we did all our tours. Cave tubbing was amazing! We went ziplining which was fantastic. The ruins were incredible at Xunintunich.
We are so excited to return to Belize, I think for our first anniversary we might go back. Thanks to all those that made our time perfect, we couldn't have done it without all the arrangements which were made for us.
Hi Keli,
Thank you for meeting with such short notice to assist us with our paperwork! We had no idea before getting to San Pedro what needed to be done. We couldn't have gotten it done without your services. Sorry we contacted you the day we needed to submit it but again we had no clue what needed to be done.
Shelley
Hi Keli, thanks for following up. Everything went very well. Would you please double check the address you have for us before you send the paperwork. I appreciate all of your correspondences before arriving in Belize and checking in with us during our stay and upon our return. Over all it was a very good experience, thank you, and we hope to return to lovely Belize.
Rhoda and Shawn
Dear Keli and Andy,
Thank you for so very much for our beautiful wedding! We were so pleased with all of your prompt responses while planning from the abroad. It made the experience much less stressful and easier. Together you both did a wonderful job on all of the arrangements. Both of us as well as all of our guests were so happy with the entire week.
Perhaps one day we will see you as we hope to return to Belize one day!
Shauna and Tom
Thanks Kelly:
The wedding couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks again for EVERYTHING, we couldn't have done it without you. We just got home...now I have to prepare myself for the barrage, and explaining why no one was invited!
You're the best!
