WE REALISED THAT YOU HAD REALLY LISTENED TO US AND YOU REALLY DID "GET US". YOU ARRANGED EVERYTHING SO CALMLY AND WITH REAL CARE AND DEDICATION, WITH A GREAT EYE FOR DETAIL AND YOU WENT OVER AND ABOVE WITH ALL YOUR EFFORTS. Dear Laetitia Chris and I want to thank you for the most amazing Wedding Day, Holiday and Birthday! When we decided to renew our wedding vows in France we soon realised that we needed someone to help. At first we were a little nervous in putting our special day into someone else hands but once we had our skype call with you both Chris and I realised that you had really listened to us and you really did "get us". And you really did! You arranged everything so calmly and with real care and dedication. You arranged every aspect of our day, with a great eye for detail and you went over and above with all your efforts. Everything and everyone you arranged were amazing, the truly beautiful venue, make up artist, ceremony, food, flowers, stationary, transport, music, and you even sorted the weather! 😉 It was so calm and well organised. All we had to do was buy the suit and dress and turn up. You listened to how we wanted our day to be romantic, intimate, full of love and fun and you certainly did deliver on it. We had the most wonderful day in a wonderful setting with our family around us. It was everything we dreamed of and more. Everything was flawless, not a hitch! and you handled our last minute requests wonderfully. You not only helped plan our wedding renewal but you organised my birthday party, booked all our restaurants for the week and organised a fabulous day out on a catamaran for the family the day after the wedding as part of our weeks celebrations. Totally amazing and so much fun! Our only regret on the day is that we did not get a photograph with you as we really feel that you were such a great part of our day! We couldn't have wished for a better planner and friend to help us. I would without hesitation recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding planner in France, in fact I already have! Same time next year??? 😉

OUR TWO DAY WEDDING BONANZA WAS NOTHING BUT SPECTACULAR AND THERE WAS NOT A SINGLE THING THAT WAS NOT THOUGHT THROUGH OR HANDLED. WOW HAD FULLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT WE WANTED AND REALLY MADE AN EFFORT INSURING THAT WE WOULD GET THE VERY BEST. The word perfect can’t even come close that WedOurWay did for us and our wedding. It all started with us needing someone who could help us plan and arrange our destination wedding. After a skype call with Martina I felt confident that she fully understood our vision and that she would make us feel comfortable having WoW in charge. With the help of Laetitia our day become two and she took our vision to a whole new level and sprinkled some of here French magic dust on it. She was amazing in every single way. Our two day wedding bonanza was nothing but spectacular and there was not a single thing that was not thought through or handled. WoW had fully understood what we wanted and really made an effort insuring that we would get the very best. We are forever grateful for this dynamic duo that will always have a very special place in our memories and hearts. Thank you!

WE WOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT RECOMMEND YOU TO ANYONE CONSIDERING GETTING MARRIED IN MALTA, AND COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT WHAT EXCEPTIONAL JOB YOU DO WITH EVERY DETAIL OF WEDDING PLANNING! Dear Martina, Brian and I have arrived back from our honeymoon, and we wanted to take moment to express our sincere THANKS for all the hard work you did making our wedding day and week in Malta absolutely perfect! Since beginning, you have constantly presented yourself in the most professional, caring and friendly manner. You paid attention to the big and small details that made our wedding day perfect, one that our guests will continue to talk about for years! We can't thank you enough for not only being there for us as an outstanding wedding planner, but also becoming a friend of ours throughout the process :). We were so impressed when you personally emailed us back within a day of our inquiry and scheduled meeting with us over Skype to understand our wedding day desires and interests. You immediately understood what our vision was for the wedding and made it reality on October 11th, 2012! You have the best vendor contacts and relationships in Malta and every detail was perfect! The Palazzo was beautifully organized, the flowers were perfectly arranged, the food was delectable, the musicians offered perfect after party entertainment, and the photographer captured the most wonderful moments and images throughout the day, which our family and friends can't stop talking about! We would without a doubt recommend you to anyone considering getting married in Malta, and could go on and on about what exceptional job you do with every detail of wedding planning! Malta will always be a special place for us, and we look forward to keeping in touch and visiting throughout the years!

WE WANTED STRESS FREE AND THAT'S WHAT WE GOT! MARTINA AND HER TEAM WORK SO HARD TO PROVIDE A VERY STRESS FREE, PERSONAL AND ATTENTIVE SERVICE! Once my husband and I decided to get married in Malta we didn't even know where to start. I googled lots of things and decided that a wedding planner would work best for us as we both worked full time and didn't want the stress of trying to organise a wedding abroad! I emailed a few wedding planners in Malta but Martina replied with the most friendly and personal interest in our wedding! We had few ideas and wanted someone to lead us and show us the possibilities......Martina took it to another level and from day one working with her we never looked back. We wanted stress free and that's what we got! As each month went on we received updates and suggestions on what was on offer for our wedding. We went to Malta to view venues and Martina took us to so many amazing venues and offered ideas and options for each one. When the venue decision was made Martina sought venders and looked into anything I suggested or wanted for our big day. As the months and days approached the less stress I felt and on the big day everything was amazing! We could not have asked for anything more! Martina & Co. were with us every step of the way and without them our wedding would not have been anywhere near as special as what it was! It felt I've i had a friend organise our wedding! Martina and her team work so hard to provide a very stress free, personal and attentive service! They go out of their way to provide you with the best in Malta and for me who was very open to everything, Martina was able to guide me and show me potential in everything. The legal side of things was so simple and I cannot recommend iDo Weddings highly enough! We feel that Martina will be someone who we will stay in touch long into our married life!

YOU MADE IT HAPPEN. MOREOVER, YOU MADE IT BETTER THAN WE IMAGINED IT COULD HAVE BEEN, ALL WHILE BEING UNDER-BUDGET! The most significant problem we were facing before hiring Martina was organizing a wedding from the other side of the world for guests from three different continents in three months time. That said, we were faced with logistical nightmare that couldn't have been done without Martina. She gave us the wedding we wanted, in the time frame that worked best for us, at a price that was below our budget. You made it happen Moreover, you made it better than we imagined it could have been all while being under-budget! If you are foreigner, don't stress with your Malta destination wedding. Hire Martina.

THE DAY ITSELF WAS THE MOST PERFECT DAY. ALL THE STRESS WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE AND CAN-DO ATTITUDE AND THAT LEFT US WITH ONE THING TO DO - GET HITCHED AND PARTY! When we started exploring planning a wedding abroad we stumbled across IDo's website and it was like a breath of fresh air. Everything else we'd looked at was clouded in secrecy - no prices and no real transparency about what to expect, hidden costs or what was included. So having all the information upfront combined with falling head over heels in love with the beautiful Villa Bologna sold it to us. Martina and Laetitia from the outset were so helpful - any question wasn't too difficult or too much trouble. We didn't have an overly fixed idea of theme or exactly what we wanted to begin with and this was fine. Laetitia helped us find our way by finding elements that we liked and letting their field of experts guide us on how this could work to our budget. As the wedding got closer and I started to get more panicky and decisive this was all handled brilliantly, even to the last minute changes of mind! Arriving in Malta with suitcase of bits and bobs I hand and very nervous, everything couldn't have gone more smoothly. Laetitia met us at the registry office, florist and photographer at the venue, hair and make up trials - everyone was just as described and so reassuring. The day itself was the most perfect day. The sun shone, everyone was where they needed to be on time, all the little touches were in place, cocktails flowed and dancing was done by all. We can't thank Martina and Laetitia enough. All the stress was taken away from their experience and can-do attitude and that left us with one thing to do - get hitched and party! -

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARTINA AS AN EXTREMELY HONEST, CARING, EFFICIENT AND VERY PROFESSIONAL WEDDING PLANNER. OUR WEDDING WAS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIUFL THANKS TO HER HARD WORK AND KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD. Before meeting you on skype, I was quite against paying a wedding planner to organize our day - I thought it was unneeded expense. After meeting you and seeing how honest you are and how much you wanted to create our perfect day it gave me the confidence to trust in you. During the wedding preparations you were always available whenever we needed you. You were extremely efficient at getting the information we needed and in a timely fashion. We felt like the majority of the wedding planning was taken care of with a few simple decisions from us. On the day - I am SO grateful I had you there on the day to handle any issues that may have arisen and to watch over the set up. If I hadn't I would have been extremely stressed during the event and instead I loved being able to absorb every minute of it. I would highly recommend Martina as an extremely honest, caring, efficient and very professional wedding planner. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful thanks to her hard work and knowledge in the field. She was a rock and a centre-point for the whole wedding planning experience, helping us above and beyond what was needed. I would also like to add that Martina was always trying to get us the best possible deal, negotiating for us and sometimes even reminding us of our own budget! Amazing person, amazing work. Thank You!

IN ESSENCE THEY TOOK AWAY ALL THE STRESS OF PLANNING A WEDDING AS THEY ALWAYS KNEW EXACTLY WHAT STAGE WE WERE AT WITH THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS AND CHASED ANYTHING WE STILL AWAITED ANSWERS FOR. From the moment I chatted with Martina on Skype to the very last contact I had with Laetitia after our wedding, I felt like we were in safe hands. From helping us choose our wedding venue to settling the final bill with the venue, all of our questions were answered and all our concerns were dealt with and solutions offered. Nothing was ever too much trouble for these ladies and their suggestions of the various suppliers was perfect. Not one supplier let us down and all of them were well briefed on our exact needs. We never felt we were led in a particular direction in terms of our preferred style or the way we wanted our wedding to happen. However when I asked for an opinion I could rely on one. Laetitia provided us with some really good advice but it never felt like we lost control of what we wanted on our special day. She allowed us to develop our own wedding theme and added to our ideas to develop them further. Even though we booked our wedding 2 Years and 8 months in advance, the two of them were keen to learn our ideas at an early stage and the contact over that period allowed us to get to know each other. In essence they took away all the stress of planning a wedding as they always knew exactly what stage we were at with the various elements and chased anything we still awaited answers for. I always felt comfortable making contact and was never made to feel like a pest even though I did ask lots and lots of questions continually. The Planning Pod was invaluable as a planning tool. It allowed us to see our budget, all our message threads and much more. At one point we did have an issue with the receiving and sending of messages which once I higlighted this to Martina she made sure I had her mobile number so that I could contact should I have any concerns. Her biggest concern was that I never got to the point where I was stressed about the wedding which I found was a wonderful personal touch. Our wedding day was just perfect. Laetitia had every aspect under control and despite me being a control freak and wanting to check on progress myself, I allowed myself to be looked after by Laetitia who ensured our day ran smoothly. Even though we had an itinerary for the day, she allowed the day to take its natural course and she gauged the flow and mood of our guests. Both myself and my new husband were able to relax and enjoy our big day knowing we were well looked after. I can't thank the team enough and was so glad I came across them in my research. Thank you!!!

ALL THE TIME SHE WAS SO KEEN TO HEAR WHAT WE WANTED, RATHER THAN JUST SELL US THE ‘READY MADE’ WEDDING. THIS REALLY STOOD OUT TO US AND WE KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT WOW WERE THE ONES TO HELP US PLAN OUR BIG DAY. When we decided to have our wedding in Malta we began researching online. I came across a few different websites for wedding planners and although I had not initially thought about having a wedding planner, I thought it should be something to consider. We researched a few different wedding planners and venues and then decided that a visit before the wedding would be a perfect excuse for a holiday! When we first met up with Martina, she was so friendly and so full of enthusiasm, giving us ideas for our wedding and sharing ideas of venue set ups etc she had done previously. However, all the time she was so keen to hear what we wanted, rather than just sell us the ‘ready made’ wedding. This really stood out to us and we knew immediately that WOW were the ones to help us plan our big day. In the months following Laetitia from WOW helped plan every aspect of our wedding. We had our own personal planning page where we could share ideas and organise every aspect of the wedding. WOW have a wide range of suppliers – catering for every style and budget and so it was easy to choose a photographer, florist, musicians etc. and Laetitia was always full of ideas and prompt with her replies which made planning easy. When we came to Malta for our wedding, Laetitia was brilliant, she came with us to the registry office, to meet suppliers and walk around the venue to ensure that we were all on the same page. Her attention to detail was brilliant, and prompted us to think about things that had not crossed our minds. She clearly loves her job and helping couples create their fairytale wedding! We had around 100 guests come to our wedding and having Laetitia there to ensure the smooth running of the day took all the pressure off ourselves and so we could enjoy every second of the day, which really was invaluable. I would recommend anyone planning a wedding in Malta to get in touch with WOW as I am sure you will find that they are the best wedding planners in Malta. Thank you so much Laetitia and all the staff at Wed our Way!

BOTH MARTINA & LAETITIA REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW US AND IT OFTEN FELT LIKE WE WERE THEIR ONLY CLIENTS! THEIR ATTENTION TO DETAIL FILLS YOU WITH THE CONFIDENCE THAT YOUR WEDDING REALLY IS GOING TO BE PERFECT. Planning a wedding abroad is one thing, but planning a wedding in a country where you’ve never even been is another! That’s why Martina and Laetitia were pivotal in ensuring our dreams were made a reality…and that’s exactly what they did! After our first Skype call we knew that we were in good hands. Martina explained the process of getting married in Malta and immediately understood our requirements. We felt that there was nothing too big for these ladies to handle and it didn’t take any time at all for them to suggest the perfect venue, Villa Bologna. Throughout our 2 years planning for the wedding Martina & Laetitia were in regular contact with us so we were confident that things were moving along well. Our first visit to Malta, one year before the wedding, the ladies showed us all the venues we had been discussing, described how the wedding would go and organised all the necessary meetings. It was during this trip that I knew my wedding would be stress free and the Bridezilla in me that was threatening to come out was firmly put to bed! Both the ladies have a long list of contacts in Malta so although we were planning the wedding from afar we felt that we still had a part to play in deciding who we wanted to choose for our special day, from the florist to the photographer, band and guest book table decor! Nothing was forced upon us and due to their extensive knowledge of pulling off dream weddings the ladies were quick to suggest ways to improve our vision. Both Martina & Laetitia really took the time to get to know us and it often felt like we were their only clients! Their attention to detail fills you with the confidence that your wedding really is going to be perfect. I can say with full confidence that without Martina & Laetitia our special day would not have been such a dream come true. I will forever be grateful for the ladies for all they did for my husband and I and will recommend anyone planning a wedding in Malta to contact them immediately! Thank You Martina & Laetitia for giving us the best day of our lives!

HER TEAM WERE ORGANISED, THOROUGH AND AMAZINGLY FRIENDLY. IT WAS HANDS DOWN THE BEST DECISION WE MADE IN PLANNING THE WEDDING. WE WOULD RECOMMEND THEM 100%. I have very strong intuition about people, as we were going to be having a destination wedding, it was really important that the planner connected with us as couple. The photographer who took our amazing engagement pictures Shane Watts, mentioned Martina from Wed Our Way to me at the time and I started doing some research on her company and looking for recommendations online. We setup an initial Skype session which was meant to last 20 minutes but we talked for one and a half hours. From the very beginning she was on board with the vision, logistics and requirements. It was like talking to an old friend. We flew out in February for a meeting and venue visits, her team were organised, thorough and amazingly friendly. It was hands down the best decision we made in planning the wedding. We would recommend them 100%.”

THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE PLANNING AND ON THE BIG DAY WAS ENTIRELY ENJOYABLE AND STRESS FREE. WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE ALL THE BIG AND LITTLE DETAILS WE WANTED IN OUR DESTINATION WEDDING, NOTHING WAS LIMITED We had the most perfect wedding day in Croatia thanks to Ivana and her team. Everything went completely as planned and smoothly without a glitch because of all their hard work. We were able to enjoy our wedding day from start to finish without having to worry about a single detail, this is something I truly believe wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t have Ivana with us on the day. In the planning leading up to it she was fully supportive of all our ideas, gave us creative freedom and nothing was too much to ask. She kept in contact with us all the time via email and Skype. The whole experience planning and on the big day was entirely enjoyable and stress free. We were able to have all the big and little details we wanted in our destination Wedding, nothing was limited. I can not recommend her and her team highly enough. It has been the most wonderful experience working with such lovely ladies. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

HER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OUR SMALL WEDDING PARTY WERE PERFECT AND SHE REALLY SEEMED TO LISTEN AND TO “GET US” FROM THE FIRST CONVERSATION WE HAD OVER SKYPE We decided to get married in Hvar in May having had a memorable holiday there some years back. It’s safe to say i don’t think we could have done it without Ivana - she had even the most strictest paper work seem like fun and at times it was stressful but she never showed it. Her recommendations for our small wedding party were perfect and she really seemed to listen and to “get us” from the first conversation we had over skype. Ivana is helpful, friendly, clear, efficient and cut through so much detail for us, she could not have made it any easier. We had the most beautiful day ever, largely down to Ivana’s organisation skills and professionalism. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Wed our Way to anyone thinking of getting married in Croatia. We had the most perfect wedding day in Croatia thanks to Ivana and her team.

WE WERE A LITTLE HESITANT TO SPEND A CHUNK OF OUR WEDDING BUDGET ON A WEDDING PLANNER, AND EVEN MORE HESITANT TO TRANSFER MONEY TO A FOREIGN COMPANY WE HARDLY KNEW! WE BOTH AGREE IT WAS THE BEST DECISION WE'VE EVER MADE. It had always been our dream to get married in Malta, but we had no idea where to begin. We couldn't believe our luck when we found Wed Our Way (WOW)! From the very start both Martina and Laetitia went out of their way to make the whole process as simple as possible and were the most approachable and friendly people to work with. To work around our long working hours, the girls arranged Skype conversations during the evenings and were always thorough and prompt in responding to our email queries. They took their time to make sure they knew exactly what we wanted and provided matching shortlists of the most incredibly professional hairdressers (use Richline!), photographers (use Fran!), florists (use Alistair!), musicians (use Marc!) and make-up artists (use Daniela!) to name but a few. We were absolutely thrilled with the results! Before working with WOW, we were a little hesitant to spend a chunk of our wedding budget on a wedding planner, and even more hesitant to transfer money to a foreign company we hardly knew! But having met the ladies we decided to go ahead, and we both agree it was the best decision we've ever made. Their ability to remain calm and organised whilst under pressure was exceptional. Even when I complicated matters by requesting a two venue ceremony and reception, Laetitia provided advice on how to best plan the timings for this more convoluted of wedding days and helped us arrange all the necessary transport. All the pre-wedding formalities (i.e. paperwork requirements and meeting with the celebrant) were all taken care of by WOW so we didn't need to worry about carrying out hours of panicked research. On the day, WOW were on hand from start to around 10:00pm, available to help with greeting and organising the guests and decorations and assist with any potential issues. For this reason the day went seamlessly and felt extremely relaxed - just what you need! If you are reading this and wondering whether to use WOW for your forthcoming wedding, don't deliberate any longer, just DO IT! You will not be disappointed. On the contrary, you will be able to look back on this most magical of days and say "thank goodness for Martina and Laetitia, our wedding day was just perfect!" That's what we do! All of our guests commented on the relaxed atmosphere and said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We cannot thank Martina and Laetitia enough for all their help in making this happen. You are both exceptional at your jobs - thank you!

PLANNING A WEDDING LOCALLY IS HARD ENOUGH WITHOUT HAVING TO COORDINATE TIME ZONES, ADDITIONAL WEDDING WEEK ACTIVITIES, ETC. YOU ARE A PRO AND SO EXCELLENT AT WHAT YOU DO I wanted to write you an extra special thank you. In our reflection over the last several months, we wanted to acknowledge how difficult of a job you have, and especially working with "out of towners"! Planning a wedding locally is hard enough without having to coordinate time zones, additional wedding week activities, etc. You are a PRO and so excellent at what you do. It's clear there was sooo much communication to handle on your end, two days of your time for the actual wedding itself, and all the other details. In hindsight this seems like a great value (maybe even cheap!). I don't really have sight of all of the 'behind the scenes' work you put in, but it's clear that it was a lot. Wow! (Ah, funny, that's your business acronym!). We had an absolute stand out time at the wedding and heard the same from all of our guests! It was simply put--the party of the year. We COULD NOT have done it without you and only wished that we had more time in the area to get to know you better!. You are a very special person to deal with crazy stressed brides all of the time 🙂 So thank you for your incredible effort - we feel very very grateful for you

WE DECIDED TO GET MARRIED ABROAD AND FINALLY DECIDED THAT MALTA WOULD BE THE BEST FOR US BUT THE BEST DECISION WE MADE WAS ENLISTING THE HELP OF "WED OUR WAY" FROM START TO FINISH THEY MADE THE WHOLE PROCESS EASY From the Groom: We decided to get married abroad and finally decided that Malta would be the best for us but the best decision we made was enlisting the help of "wed our way" from start to finish they made the whole process easy . Laetitia was fantastic and couldn't do more to help she was polite friendly and kept the whole day running smooth even after the wedding went out her way to post some items we left behind. I would 100% recommend using Laetitia and the wed our way team for your wedding abroad. From the Bride: We got married 8 weeks ago at Castello Zammitello in Malta and we are still on cloud 9. I am so impressed with the organisation and recommendations made by Wed Our Way. The venue was absolutely stunning and as we had not previously visited Malta we only got to see it two days before we arrived. The pictures did not do the venue justice it was breathtaking, one of my concerns was that as it was a large venue and our party of 60 would look out of place. But this was not the case it was set out and each area accommodated for. For me another concern about going abroad was using unknown make up artist and hairdressers. The recommendations made by WOW we're all of a really high standard. I had make up done by Schevron and my hairdresser on the day was Zoe edgar. Photography was done by Therese Debono and I have just received our pictures we had 1200 to choose from on a USB so it's been great to share, make copies and send to our families. I cannot thank WOW enough for our stress free day, we enjoyed every minute and it went perfectly. We are happy to be contacted by any couples looking to use your service if you have anymore questions. Thanks again, Mr and Mrs Harries.

OUR WEDDING DAY WAS SIMPLY PERFECT, FILLED WITH MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST FOREVER, OUR THANKS GOES TO YOU FOR MAKING OUR VISIONS A REALITY From the start we knew we would not be able to plan our wedding abroad without some help, we knew we would need a planner to aid us with the following: their knowledge of the area, help cross possible language barriers, knowledge of trustworthy vendors to work with, face to face communications in Malta. One of our biggest fears about getting married abroad was that we would not be able to meet and speak face to face with vendors, so for us it was a great reassurance to know that we had you there to do this for us. It was a great help being able to speak with you over Skype as some things were easier to discuss in conversation than through email. We loved discussing our ideas with you and really appreciated your honest feedback. From speaking with you, we knew how passionate you are about your work and we were always confident that our wedding was in good hands, you were there fighting our corner and you got us the best deals available to the requests we had made. This was due to the great contacts you have and the fantastic report you have with them. We have already recommended you to a lady at work whose son wants to marry in Malta 🙂 We would not hesitate in recommending your services to anyone. You were a pleasure to work with, so easy to get along with and you always put our minds at ease over any concerns we had. You delivered on everything that was asked of you, you never let us down. Communication with you was consistent, you would regularly keep us updated and you were quick in your response to our emails. We love how our relationship grew, you'r not just the lady who planned our wedding, we feel we have gained a good friend in you 🙂 Our wedding day was simply perfect, filled with memories that will last forever, our thanks goes to you for making our visions a reality.

MARTINA DIDN'T TRY TO IMPOSE ON US TRADITIONAL VIEW OF WEDDING CEREMONY SHE HELPED IMPLEMENT OUR VISION INSTEAD! We decided to hire wedding planner in Malta, because we live in Russia. We arrived to Malta on the day before the wedding and saw wedding cake, bridal bouquet etc. only before the ceremony and everything was amazing. Thanks to Martina's attention to our requests and desires, at the wedding everything looked exactly how I wanted. Martina did not try to impose on us traditional view of wedding ceremony she helped implement our vision instead! Martina isn't only terrific organizer, she is very interesting and warm person. Thanks to her I didn't worry at the wedding day. I was sure she had everything under control. Preparing for the wedding with Martina was easy and interesting for me. I would like to relive the past six months. If you are selecting a wedding planner, don't hesitate to contact Martina. She is the best!

HOW ANYONE PLANS A WEDDING WITHOUT A PLANNER I DON'T KNOW! YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY OR THINK OF A THING, IT IS ALL DONE AND COORDINATED FOR YOU When I decided to get married abroad I always knew it would be a challenge to plan a wedding from a distance. I met Martina when she was very pregnant and even still she was so helpful and made me totally relaxed as I knew in her hands the day would run smoothly and I would have a very easy decision making process with her showing me only the best Malta has to offer in my price range. Martina organized from the flowers to the Dj to the church to the paperwork a lot!!! Literally I told her what I wanted and she found the best person for the job. She can even help with guest accommodation and transport for guests EVERYTHING! How anyone plans a wedding without a wedding planner I do not know! You will not have to worry or think of a thing, it is all done and coordinated for you. Totally and utterly brilliant. The great thing as well is that planner is very discreet. On the day flowers for my hair didn't arrive and within less than an hour Martina had it made up and delivered to my hotel room door! My wedding day is a day I will never forget and this all thanks to my planner.

TO HAVE A PLANNER WITH EXPERIENCE WHO KNEW WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND COULD DO IT FOR ME WHEN I BECAME EVEN MORE TIME POOR - INVALUABLE! When Isaac and I decided to get married, our destination was always going to Malta, it seemed like we didn't need to even discuss it, we both knew. Isaac wanted to make sure that we are capturing the traditional and historical beauty of Malta in our wedding, which is why he was more particular then me about the venue we chose for our marriage and celebration - talk about groomzila right! I was looking online and I came across this company, which was very straightforward, as well as I fell in love with all the beautiful weddings shown. I did enquire around, yet Martina was the most helpful in contacting me and giving me the information I needed, including helping me choose the best venue by giving me cost analyses of what would be suited for me, and then we chose. The date I wanted proved to be an issue, which was the first negotiation Martina had to organise for me, luckily at this point I had a planner so early on, as the time difference would have made it very difficult for me tio communicate and decide on a date suited for me and the suppliers - so Saturday June weddings are very hot days of the week, and even back in 2014, I had to make the right negotiations for our 2017 wedding! The date was set! Despite having a planner, and given the choice, I still wanted to be able to be flexible with some suppliers I know, advise from Martina at this stage was very handy, and I dodged a few issues thanks to her advice - I was never told to not try and research stuff, it was welcomed! After all even though the distance was very far, and I was very time poor, I still enjoyed every Sunday researching weddings and making sure I am getting my dream day. Closer to the wedding time Laetitia stepped in to help me more, wow did she do a fantastic job! Sometime after we decided to get married we decided to build a house, what we thought would be a project long completed before the wedding, ended up something completed exactly 6 months before - Many time I kept thanking my instinct for going with a planner. My family, who still lived in Malta, tried to convince me that they will be plenty of help, yet it was good to have a planner with experience who knew what they were doing and could do it for me while I became even more time poor - invaluable! It's also great to have someone calm and focused organising everything for you in moments when you while you spend 2 days fretting over cutting up petal by petal of our bougainvillea for real flower confetti's - Me wanting to have a DYI moment for my wedding so I could also cross that off my wedding wishlist. I just had to do one thing and nearly had a meltdown to organise let alone the whole thing! I am very happy I had the guidance that I did, and that is why everyone keeps telling me that they attended one of the best weddings they have been to. Both Maltese and Aussies loved it, we all didn't want it to end, even after 9hrs of celebrating. If only WOW can invest in a time machine so I can repeat the day over and over - but I can look at my magnificent photos and video in the mean time.

SO MANY PEOPLE COMMENTED DURING THE PLANNING THAT WE WERE BOTH SO CHILLED, BUT IT REALLY DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THERE WAS ANYTHING TO STRESS ABOUT. We got engaged October 16 and immediately decided to have a destination wedding. Initially we didn't consider using a wedding planner and were trying to research and plan ourselves, however we quickly realised this was not easy from the UK and thankfully found Laetitia. We were a little apprehensive at first, we were not planning to visit prior to the wedding and sending large sums of money to someone we'd never met was not something we were used to. Also, we weren't sure how easy it would be to get our vision for the day across over email and phone calls. We messaged Laetitia and within 48 hours we were on Skype discussing the service that she provides and the ideas we had for our wedding day. After speaking with Laetitia we felt so much more at ease, she completely understood our vision and her knowledge of the venue options and other services was amazing. The planning pod is a wonderful tool to message, share pictures and files. This, along with Laetitia, kept us on track with decisions and payments for the 7 months of planning. As the Bride, I was worried I wouldn't feel comfortable handing over control of the wedding planning, however Laetitia was always very responsive and listened to all our comments and questions, she always advised but left the final decision with us! Choosing suppliers was so easy, Laetitia would send options and all we had to do was read through and pick each one. As simple as that! So many people commented during the planning that we were both so chilled, but it really didn't feel like there was anything to stress about. We arrived 3 days before our wedding and it was lovely to meet Laetitia in person, she has a wonderful, warm personality and was totally in control of everything. The big day arrived and everything flowed perfectly, all the suppliers we had chosen were fantastic. The music was a huge highlight for us, they were simply amazing! Laetitia was there all day; although you would hardly notice. She kept everything running smoothly in the background and the day wouldn't have been the same without her. There were so many happy tears throughout the day and my Husband & I were congratulated by so many of our guests on the day we had put together, but actually total credit goes to Laetitia and we will be forever grateful to her.

IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE A PLANNER AS COMPETENT AND AS ATTENTIVE AS LAETITIA/WOW THEN I AM SURE YOU WILL HAVE THE MOST AMAZING WEDDING DAY We were unsure wether the addition expense of a wedding planner (for our destination wedding) was truly necessary, something which we quickly realised was. My wife and I (queue huge cheer!) both work in high pressured jobs in London and so it would have been difficult and practically impossible for us to manage all of the communications with vendors and to ensure the wedding day ran as smoothly as it did. Laetitia made the wedding planning process an absolute breeze. Not a single stone was left unturned. Every question and concern we had at every step along the way was answered and resolved in good time. Laetitia completely understands and gets us. There was never any pressure for us to make any choices we weren't comfortable with. In our opinion she has a great taste and so we were easily able to trust her whenever we were unsure. A huge advantage of using WOW is access to the Planning Pod which manages all communications between you and WOW, as well as perhaps the most important thing, the budget. The final cost for us came in almost exactly inline with the budget which was a huge advantage when planning financially for one of the most expensive purchases you will potentially ever make. My main advice to friends and family who are tying the knot is even if you intend to get married in your own country, get a wedding planner. If you are lucky enough to have a planner as competent and as attentive as Laetitia/WOW then I am sure you will have the most amazing wedding day

WHILST I ABSOLUTELY ADORE MALTA AND ALL OUR SUPPLIERS, WE BOTH RECOGNISED THAT WE SIMPLY COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT WOW For 15-16 months, Martina and Laetitia were absolutely phenomenal as wedding planners. Martina handled the first 8 months of brainstorming, securing our venue and vision planning. Once the main elements had been decided, Laetitia and her logistical expertise took over, to the point where there really was nothing for me to worry about. With a long list of suppliers and options to choose from, this part was so fun, selecting our favourite photographer, makeup artist etc... Anything extra or bespoke that we wanted, Martina and Laetitia sourced, organised and found, such as a white horse for me to ride down the aisle! As a self confessed control obsessed perfectionist, it was extremely difficult for me to let go and to organise a wedding abroad, especially in a laid back Mediterranean island nation like Malta! Whilst I absolutely adore Malta and all our suppliers, we both recognised that we simply couldn't have done it without WOW. Most local businesses don't advertise their services online so 'googleing' and using online reviews just don't work. When you do find potential suppliers yourself, trying to contact them is difficult and it takes a hell of a lot of chasing and different methods of communication to finally get what you want. All this pain and hassle was eliminated by Laetitia and Martina, and more importantly their level of emotional support and understanding across the entire process was unbelievable and went above and beyond. Additionally, the prices they secured for us were shockingly awesome, which ensured we definitely weren't being ripped off (so common in the wedding industry) and kept our wedding within budget. As for our actual wedding, everything turned out more beautiful than I imagined and needless to say we and our guests were impressed and delighted! Thank you so much to both wonderful ladies who made our special day truly unique, just as we wanted"

WE NOW HAVE AMAZING MEMORIES TO LAST A LIFETIME! We would recommend working with Martina and Laetitia from Wed Our Way, as they really helped make our day special. Getting married abroad, we worried about organising our big day with regards to getting the correct paperwork, getting good quality suppliers and paying these suppliers. They were able to advise on the paperwork and the crucial timings of this paperwork. They are experienced in working with high quality suppliers, and we could feel confident paying deposits to these suppliers as our wedding planners ensured all the necessary contracts and paperwork were in place. Having never planned a wedding before it was invaluable to have such experts on hand every step of the way. They were also there to co-ordinate the wedding day itself, to ensure everything ran smoothly so this was a weight off our shoulders and allowed us to relax and really enjoy the day. Whatever we asked for they made it happen so we really could make the wedding of our dreams come true! Thank you Martina and Laetitia for all your hard work. We now have amazing memories to last a lifetime!

AN EXAMPLE OF THEIR ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS ON THE DAY OF THE WEDDING WE HAD BOUGHT COLOURING BOOKS FOR THE CHILDREN BUT HAD FORGOTTEN TO BUY CRAYONS. WE WERE DELIGHTED TO FIND CRAYONS SITTING ON THE TABLES FOR THE CHILDREN AS WE SAT DOWN. THIS IS HOW THOUGHTFUL AND PROFESSIONAL THEY ARE. After deciding to get married in Malta, we came across Wed Our Way on the Internet. From our first Skype with Martina we felt comfortable and confident that she could deliver everything we wanted.We visited Malta a year before we got married and Martina kindly took us to three different venues, each of them were amazing places to get married but we decided on the beautiful villa Bologna. Over the next year Martina and Laetitia were professional and helpful. They were accommodating with our requests and replied to emails swiftly. Although we chose to get married in a different country we didn't feel stressed or worried that things were not going to be as we had dreamed of. We had faith in their ability. An example of their attention to detail is on the day of the wedding we had bought colouring books for the children but had forgotten to buy crayons. We were delighted to find crayons sitting on the tables for the children as we sat down. This is how thoughtful and professional they are. So thank Martina and Laetitia we are grateful. Tom and I both had an absolutely amazing wedding day which was all and much more we could of dreamed of and that's down to Martina and Laetitia's hard work. Our guests commented on both how lovely the venue was and what a great job the wedding planners did. We would not hesitate in recommending Idoweddingsmalta to anyone wanting to get married there. A big thank you to Martina and Laetitia for making our wonderful day that much better.

WE WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SUCH A GREAT HELP PLANNING OUR WEDDING AND ENSURING THE DAY WAS PERFECT. What I loved about you is responsiveness to email queries even though Australia and Malta and in 2 different time zones, great vendor list and recommendations on the appropriate vendor and willingness to accommodate my many requests. Despite changing my mind a dozen times, you manage to pull together all my ideas for the resulting gorgeous table display and other decorations, you coordinated with the musicians, caterers and venue managers to ensure the program on my wedding flowed smoothly (and most importantly...everyone had a great time! Thank you so much once again and I would definitely recommend anyone getting married in Malta (who is coming from abroad) to engage your services.

FOCUSING ON WHAT MATTERED MOST, ON THE BEAUTY AND JOY OF A HAPPY WEDDING DAY, WE PULLED OFF AN UNFORGETTABLE DAY FOR OURSELVES, OUR FAMILIES, AND CLOSEST FRIENDS. MARTINA AND HER TEAM WERE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS PROCESS, SHE LISTENTED TO OUR NEEDS, ANSWERED OUR QUERIES AND GAVE US INVALUABLE ADVICE. PUTTING IT SIMPLY: SHE’S HIGHLY RECOMMENDABLE! Despite Christa being Maltese and having recently left the Island, we knew that planning a wedding from practically the other side of the world would not come by easily. We needed someone with experience in destination weddings, someone who would know the running of the mill, not only in terms of paperwork when it comes to intercultural marriages, but also giving us that heads up on what is done and not done, and how to go about the planning and supplier selection. And that’s how we chose IdoWeddingsMalta. We started planning 9 months earlier, and immediately Martina would prioritise the best locations for our religious ceremony and reception. It was great because Martina would send over numerous photos of recommended locations, as well as her opinion and experience when working with such suppliers. The same went for choosing the music, photos, flowers: a wide array of suppliers she works with, all with great portfolios, innovative ideas and attentive to your and your partner’s special touch. A great tool which Martina and Laetitia swear by is their Planning software. Gone are the long threaded emails which you might have forgotten to put in your Wedding Folder: with the planning software you can share and save and upload and download whatever documents or photos you’re sharing with your planner. This was a great lifesaver. Everything was organised, from food choices, to supplier bank details, to photo samples. It actually felt like we were planning from around the corner in Malta not from across the Atlantic in Rio de Janeiro! To all newly engaged couples considering Malta as their desination for an unforgettable wedding, we say: do it your way! From our experience, we drifted away from the traditions of Maltese weddings, had to cater for guests coming from various countries across the globe, all with their cultural baggage and expectations, but focusing on what mattered most, on the beauty and joy of a happy wedding day, we pulled off an unforgettable day for ourselves, our families, and closest friends. Martina and her team were an essential part of this process, she listented to our needs, answered our queries and gave us invaluable advice. Putting it simply: she’s highly recommendable!

I DO WEDDINGS MALTA IS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND MARTINA UNDERSTANDS HOW IMPORTANT YOUR WEDDING DAY IS TO YOU, AND IS THERE FOR YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY, INCLUDING THE BIG DAY We would like to say a huge thank you to Martina for organizing our wedding. Once we had decided to get married in Malta we contacted Martina and from the very 1st meeting we had on skype she was there to help with any questions we had. Martina listened to what we wanted for our wedding, we discussed a few ideas we had and Martina suggested a few things too. We settled on 3 ideas and Martina sent us a full cost breakdown of each. Once we had made a decision on the venue and what we wanted on the day everything ran so smoothly, with regular updates and conversations. It is a worrying time when trying to organize a wedding in a different country but Martina was in constant contact with us and answered any concerns or questions we had. She even helped us with things outside the wedding, like, restaurant and boat trip suggestions, hotel recommendations for our guests, places to visit and even suggesting hair dressers where our guests could get their hair done on the day. I do weddings Malta is very professional and Martina understands how important your wedding day is to you, and is there for you every step of the way, including the big day. Martina was there, in the background, the whole day making sure that everything ran smoothly and that we had everything we wanted. And not only that, Martina is a genuinely nice person who is passionate about what she does. We cannot thank Martina enough for what she did for us and we would most definitely recommend I do weddings to anyone.

DON'T TRY TO PLAN A DESTINATION WEDDING WITHOUT HELP. WE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST WITHOUT MARTINA'S GUIDANCE We really didn't think about anything, which is what we wanted on our wedding day. Don't try try to plan a destination wedding without help, We would have been lost without Martina's guidance. She knows more than just the package deal, she can help with transportation from the airport, where to go for dinner, she is very knowledgeable about Malta in general. That little extra knowledge was indispensable for us.

MY BRIDESMAID SUGGESTED I LOOK FOR A WEDDING PLANNER TO HELP MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN AND SENT ME LINK OF I DO MALTA WEDDINGS WEBSITE...THE BEST GIFT SHE COULD HAVE GIVEN ME. I was unsure how to go about organizing a wedding overseas and didn't know a lot about Malta, other than what a beautiful location it would be for our wedding. My bridesmaid suggested I look for a wedding planner to help make it all happen and sent me link to the I Do Malta Weddings website...the best gift she could have given me. You were there, available and so helpful throughout the whole 12 month planning process. Making me feel at ease about everything and wanting to know what my dreams and wishes were for the day so that you could make every detail a reality. You became friend and confidant, which made planning our wedding so special day and wonderful experience. I could not have done it without your help! I would highly recommend Martina and her team who were very professional, well organized and extremely supportive in making our dream wedding a reality!

THANK YOU MARTINA FOR ALL YOUR HELP, YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY INVALUABLE, THE DAY WENT SO SMOOTHLY AND YOU WERE A GREAT HELP! We had visited Malta few years before and felt the island was so relaxing and so beautiful that if felt like the obvious choice. The people were so friendly and helpful as well it was hard to resist. As it turned out it was also much much cheaper than having it here or in UK including flight costs! Everything was so organized so I wasn't stressed, despite getting married later in the day the morning flew by. Martina was fantastic, very reassuring throughout the lead up and clearly very capable and on the ball on the day. Made it so much easier having someone local and someone who on the day can ensure things run smoothly so we didn't have to worry about anything.

THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE PLANNING AND ON THE BIG DAY WAS ENTIRELY ENJOYABLE AND STRESS FREE. WE WERE ABLE TO HAVE ALL THE BIG AND LITTLE DETAILS WE WANTED IN OUR DESTINATION WEDDING, NOTHING WAS LIMITED We had the most perfect wedding day in Croatia thanks to Ivana and her team. Everything went completely as planned and smoothly without a glitch because of all their hard work. We were able to enjoy our wedding day from start to finish without having to worry about a single detail, this is something I truly believe wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t have Ivana with us on the day. In the planning leading up to it she was fully supportive of all our ideas, gave us creative freedom and nothing was too much to ask. She kept in contact with us all the time via email and Skype. The whole experience planning and on the big day was entirely enjoyable and stress free. We were able to have all the big and little details we wanted in our destination Wedding, nothing was limited. I can not recommend her and her team highly enough. It has been the most wonderful experience working with such lovely ladies. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts

HER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR OUR SMALL WEDDING PARTY WERE PERFECT AND SHE REALLY SEEMED TO LISTEN AND TO “GET US” FROM THE FIRST CONVERSATION WE HAD OVER SKYPE We decided to get married in Hvar in May having had a memorable holiday there some years back. It’s safe to say i don’t think we could have done it without Ivana - she had even the most strictest paper work seem like fun and at times it was stressful but she never showed it. Her recommendations for our small wedding party were perfect and she really seemed to listen and to “get us” from the first conversation we had over skype. Ivana is helpful, friendly, clear, efficient and cut through so much detail for us, she could not have made it any easier. We had the most beautiful day ever, largely down to Ivana’s organisation skills and professionalism. I would not hesitate at all to recommend Wed our Way to anyone thinking of getting married in Croatia. -

PLANNING A WEDDING LOCALLY IS HARD ENOUGH WITHOUT HAVING TO COORDINATE TIME ZONES, ADDITIONAL WEDDING WEEK ACTIVITIES, ETC. YOU ARE A PRO AND SO EXCELLENT AT WHAT YOU DO I wanted to write you an extra special thank you. In our reflection over the last several months, we wanted to acknowledge how difficult of a job you have, and especially working with "out of towners"! Planning a wedding locally is hard enough without having to coordinate time zones, additional wedding week activities, etc. You are a PRO and so excellent at what you do. It's clear there was sooo much communication to handle on your end, two days of your time for the actual wedding itself, and all the other details. In hindsight this seems like a great value (maybe even cheap!). I don't really have sight of all of the 'behind the scenes' work you put in, but it's clear that it was a lot. Wow! (Ah, funny, that's your business acronym!). We had an absolute stand out time at the wedding and heard the same from all of our guests! It was simply put--the party of the year. We COULD NOT have done it without you and only wished that we had more time in the area to get to know you better!. You are a very special person to deal with crazy stressed brides all of the time 🙂 So thank you for your incredible effort - we feel very very grateful for you

WE WERE EXTREMELY SATISFIED WITH IVANA SERVICE AND WOULD BE QUITE WILLING TO GIVE A REFERENCE TO ANYONE WHO IS CONSIDERING USING IVANA FOR THEIR WEDDING ON HVAR Both my new wife Debbie and I can honestly say this would not have been possible without Ivana's invaluable contribution. We did not realise how important a wedding planner would be until we started arranging all the events before, during and after the wedding for all our guests. Ivana was always available via email or telephone to advise, help source and answer any queries we had. This made all the planning stress free for us and we felt confident to rely on Ivana to make the wedding as perfect as it turned out to be. On the actual day Ivana and her assistant were very professional in dealing with our guests and they all commented how efficient Ivana were while keeping a low profile. Debbie also found Ivana's help on the day invaluable and appreciated you being there for her when needed. We were extremely satisfied with Ivana service and would be quite willing to give a reference to anyone who is considering using Ivana for their wedding on Hvar.

WE CAN LOOK BACK AT OUR WEDDING WITHOUT A SINGLE REGRET, IT TRULY WAS PERFECT, EVEN DOWN TO THE SMALL DETAILS. Having been engaged for 2 years and still not started to plan our wedding we started to look for help online, we knew we would get married abroad. A quick internet search found WOW and shortly afterwards we had a Skype call to discuss our ideas. Laetitia really made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. Laetitia's planning was perfect. She was able to advise us without being pushy and if she knew our idea's wouldn't work she was happy to tell us and advise us of alternatives ideas. It was great to have reliable support that was available whenever we needed it. The wedding day itself truly was the happiest day of our lives, and we both loved every minute of it. We can look back at our wedding without a single regret, it truly was perfect, even down to the small details. We would highly recommend Laetitia's services and are very thankful for the hard work and effort she put in, even being there on the wedding day to oversee that everything goes to plan...which of course it did.

THE 'RISK' OF GETTING MARRIED ABROAD MEANS THAT YOU DON'T OFTEN GET TO SEE THING UP CLOSE UNTIL THE DAY- THING LIKE WEDDING CAKES, VENUES ETC SO HAVING SOMEONE, LIKE IVANA, YOU CAN TRUST REALLY IS A NECESSITY It's hard to find the right words to express our overwhelming feelings of gratitude we have for Ivana- it doesn't feel like we'll ever convey just how wonderful she was from start to finish. The main thing I feared about the wedding day was walking away feeling disappointed that something didn't quite go as planned- after all, we'd invited all our family and friends abroad and spent years saving to have a day that we were really proud of. I'm so happy to say that I was not disappointed with one single aspect of our wedding day- I wouldn't have changed a single thing about it. It was genuinely everything we wanted and more. The 'risk' of getting married abroad means that you don't often get to see thing up close until the day- thing like wedding cakes, venues etc so having someone, like Ivana, you can trust really is a necessity. We simply wouldn't have been able to organise our wedding in Croatia without her. I would wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Ivana to anyone looking to get married in Croatia- she was always only an email or Skype call away throughout the entire planning process and was the ultimate professional throughout- even when I was nervous or stressed, she continued with an unwavering positive attitude that really made me feel at ease. I loved having her there on the day too, looking after everything and everyone meaning that we could enjoy our day knowing that someone was looking out for us.
