    What my bridal couples say

    The power of words

    Dear Doreen, after all the anticipation and excitement, we were able to experience a celebration on 21 June that we could ultimately only leave in your hands and admire how your preparations with fascinating attention to detail made our day unforgettable. You are so emphatic that you are able to judge the couples in front of you after only a short time. Your attention to detail and your common thread make you the perfect wedding planner - your profession remains your vocation, first-class career choice! Personally, I liked you right from the start, you were sometimes a mirror image and I soon knew that you would realise our taste. Therefore, my and our heartfelt thanks for being by our side! Much love, Doreen, we (hopefully) always see each other twice in life! M&M

    Dear Doreen, We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, your assistance, your ideas and the great realisation of our wedding. Without you, our wedding weekend would not have been what it is, was and always will be: one of the most stunning and beautiful days of our lives. THANK YOU! We will miss you. Coreen & Basti

    Dear Doreen, A thousand thanks and a huge compliment from Alex, myself and our guests for the perfectly and uniquely organised wedding!!! Thank you so much for your patience, advice, hugs and great ideas. You made our celebration an unforgettable event and we hope that we will never lose sight of each other. Best regards Nadine & Alex

    Dear Doreen, thank you so much for this WORLD-CLASS wedding!!! Without you we would never have been able to organise such a great wedding, it's hard to always kick yourself in the butt to finally make decisions. We would never have thought that we could enjoy our own wedding in such a relaxed way. Nothing went wrong at all, it can't really be - did you really order the weather as well? Even the critical relatives remarked that you set the bar very, very high with this wedding. Stephi & Flo

    Dear Doreen, a thousand thanks for our wonderful celebration. It was marvellously beautiful, simply indescribable. Everyone and especially you were just great. You were all so welcoming and incredibly professional. A day without any thoughts of organisation with fantastic wedding weather, just as you had predicted at the time... Best regards Sonja & Stephan

    Wedding in Leogang

    Querida Doreen, Mil gracias por todo!!!! Many thanks for everything!!!! We wanted to take this opportunity Gerrit and myself to tell you how happy we are with the outcome of our wedding! First of all you were amazing and made everything feel simple! ( totally the purpose of a wedding planner!!!!!) You are so detailed oriented and therefore from the invitations to the last minute of the party was perfectly planned and really reflected our wishes. Second you are a trooper, taking us down the mountain in a sledge to try the rehearsal dinner menu, that was beyond expectations and we enjoyed it so much, it kind of set the fun and relaxed mood for the rest of the event! We can't wait to celebrate our 10th anniversary to have you again plan an event for us! I will miss you dearly!!! Keep up the good work in making beautiful weddings! Un Abrazo! XOXO Gerrit and Marlene

    Wedding in Kitzbuehel

    Dear Doreen, I don't know how I can thank you enough. You are simply great!!! In any case, we will award you the certificate "can deal with even the most difficult customer". You didn't always have it easy with our often unusual requests and totally different ideas. (I'm just saying: six different wines, 7 courses but the bride wants to be on the dance floor at 22:30:-) We all had one or two crises during the long preparation time, but you always managed to respond to us, provide us with ideas and, in short, to organise our dream wedding perfectly and professionally!!! Without your organisational talent and your network, we would have been left without a cake. In the end nobody realised that it was missing and the replacement was beautiful!!! Best regards Uli & Detlef

    Wedding in Leogang

    Dear Doreen, I have to tell you that working with you was a lot of fun and we quickly had the feeling that we were in very good hands with you and had complete confidence in you and your abilities. What impressed me personally was the way in which you managed to juggle all these things and still always be in a good mood! You always took care of things we discussed straight away and showed a certain bite that was really needed in some cases. Your work is really just right for you because you do it with incredible dedication and one immediately realises that your ultimate goal is to give the bride and groom the most beautiful day of their lives and to be able to enjoy it relaxed and to the full. We really thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for us! You are a great person and you have definitely found your calling. You can be really proud of what you do because everyone realises that you put your heart into your work!!! Cora & Flo

    Dear Doreen, Our wedding was exactly as we had hoped it would be - our dream wedding! It's been a few weeks now and we're still getting lots of compliments from our guests about what a great party it was. Everything was perfect, everyone felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun. We would never have thought that a wedding could be so relaxed. We could rely on you and your team 100%. You organised everything perfectly and implemented it with great attention to detail so that it really was OUR wedding. We are just so happy when we think back to that wonderful weekend. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! We will never forget the day. All the best, Julia & Sebastian

    Dear Doreen, ...and then came our big day and you mastered this seemingly impossible task for us with your confident manner and professionalism! And that at almost 40 degrees! From the church to our celebration at the Grossgoltern manor and the candy bar, everything was just perfect! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for embarking on this exciting journey with us! We trusted you absolutely every single second and were sure that you would make this day perfect for us - and that's exactly how it was! Thank you so much for our dream wedding, which will certainly go down as the "hottest" party in the history of your weddings! All the best, Kathy & Matthias

    Dear Doreen, saving the best for last! Huge praise to you, you really organised a wonderful weekend for us! You could always be relied on during the whole preparation time, you got back to me quickly and took care of everything immediately. I never had the feeling that something could go wrong or that I would have to follow up myself. You did it exactly as I would have done it myself! As I am an absolute perfectionist, I mean that as a huge compliment! You had great ideas and inspiration at the ready and I think the two of us together got everything out of it and created a perfect party! So thank you once again for your help, your commitment, your great ideas, your certain way of doing things, your "let's get everything done" attitude, your perfectionism and ultimately your relaxed approach to everything! I never panic with you, you always find a solution! Maybe that's the only reason I was so relaxed! THANK YOU!!! Sarah & Rene

    Salut dear Doreen, you exceeded our expectations and thanks to you, I was super relaxed and could just enjoy the great day. Everyone was also very enthusiastic about your nice and friendly manner! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! It was so much better than we could have imagined!!! And the service providers were amazing!!! A big thank you for your ideas, advice, the great service providers, the wonderful decorations, the calming of nerves and your creativity! The guests were also all totally thrilled and I would love to celebrate our wedding day big every year now... and of course you would be our planner... Best regards Florence & Tobias

    Wedding in the Holledau

    Dear Doreen, We are still blown away by our wedding day, it was like a fairy tale and the only moment we were sad was when the party was over. Even during the preparation phase I always had the feeling that we were your only wedding couple - but of course I knew that you were on duty almost every weekend, but I didn't feel it. You accompanied & guided us and made our wishes possible. Although we had you to support us, it was absolutely OUR wedding, because with your help we designed it exactly the way we wanted it. Although we have certainly made some good decisions in our relationship, one of the best decisions was to work with you for our wedding. 1000 thanks to you and your team. Best regards Lydia & Peter

    Dear Doreen, The BEST thing was that we didn't have to worry about schedules, set-up and organisation on the actual wedding day, nor did we have to involve relatives and friends. We were able to sit back and relax and celebrate with everyone! Dear Doreen, we are incredibly happy that we got support from YOU back then! It was a pleasure working with you and the wedding would never have been as beautiful, detailed, stress-free, unique and magical as it was without you and your team. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING !!!!

    Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for everything. It really was an indescribably beautiful wedding that touched us deeply and that was simply perfect for us from start to finish and where you could feel so much heart. We couldn't have wished for a more beautiful wedding and all our expectations and hopes were simply exceeded. We really were on cloud nine for many days and this was simply a wonderful and unforgettable start to our marriage. Iris and Michael

    Dearest Doreen, do you know what the best thing is? Hearing all the stories and impressions from our guests afterwards. It's unbelievable how thrilled all the guests still are. 'Best wedding ever ☺ Really everyone has mentioned you & your team so far, the great and smooth organisation, but without it seeming 'organised', all the lovely details, the beautiful decorations, lots and lots of lovely compliments for you. I just wanted to write this quickly because I'm really touched myself. And what's interesting is that so far everyone has said that there was such a special atmosphere in the air for three days and soooo much love and positive energy. For me, that's the best compliment so far. It just shows that Rene and I radiated that and partly because we were completely relaxed and trusted you 1000%. THANK YOU!!! Kati & Rene

    Dear Doreen, We keep thinking about our special wedding weekend and have gone through every situation several times and are grateful that we were able to celebrate our wedding in a way that we couldn't have imagined more beautifully. With all the people who are important to us, in a dream location and in full confidence that everything will go as planned because you are looking after us and our celebration. Thank you so much for that! I will miss the many hours of planning and anticipation with you! Thank you so much for accompanying us so lovingly. All the best J&T

    Wedding at Lake Tegernsee

    Dear Doreen, Everything with you dear Doreen was incredibly fun, you had a great team at hand to realise my wishes, as well as great ideas and suggestions. Everyone on the day was perfect for us and we would never have found them without you. But your finest hour was definitely on the day of the wedding itself: You, the calmness itself, always a laugh, always cordial, effortless, always in the background, but everything under control, so that we and our guests could lean back the whole day, because everything ran perfectly as if by magic. But what I didn't expect was how great a person you are, how much I have grown to love you. If you hadn't been my planner, I would have invited you to my wedding anyway, you're just great! I will miss you, you are and will always be my wedding fairy. Your Vanessa (& Henrik)

    Dear Doreen, We would like to thank you very much for the wonderful planning and the perfect organisation. Booking you was the very best decision! We felt we were in good hands from the very first meeting and really enjoyed working with you. Your loving, patient manner and your professional work gave us a wonderful dream wedding. Everything was perfectly planned down to the smallest detail, a logistical masterpiece. Without you, we wouldn't have found our dream location or hired all the professional service providers you recommended. Even on the 3 days themselves, it was incredibly reassuring to know that you were there and had everything under control. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and wish you all the best! Anja and Ralf

We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your great work - these days will always be unforgettable and unique for us.

    Dear Doreen, what can we say? YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST! It's unbelievable what you have organised. Our wedding weekend was, in the words of the bride's father: "The best party we've ever had and will ever have in our lives." None of this would have been possible without you. We are infinitely grateful to you for being so fantastically supportive of all our problems, questions, ideas and wishes during the year of preparation. Thanks to your help, it was a small, beautiful and truly unforgettable dream wedding. You don't let anything...REALLY NOTHING upset you and simply keep a cool head in any chaos. Without you, the bride would really have lost her nerve. We have the feeling that we have not only found the best wedding planner in the world, but also a really great friend. Best regards, Michael and Anja
