Testimonials

We were married on Sept 01 2007. The location was the Dowding Wedding Gardens, which by our choice, include the services of Hilary Hall, wedding coordinator.

Weeks after, speaking with our friends and asking what they thought of the wedding, a common theme surfaced. Not only were our friends and family impressed with the choice of location, but they were also impressed with how every little detail was thought of and how seamlessly smooth everything went.

Our wedding day was perfect. Every thing happened as we had hoped it would, when it was scheduled to happen, the way it was supposed to happen. We couldn’t have asked for it to be any better, and we must acknowledge that Hilary was a huge part of that success.

From the very first time that we sat down with Hilary to the time that we left the reception hall on the evening of our wedding, she left us with the feeling that she had things under control and there was no need for us to worry at all. She made us feel that if there was anything at all at anytime that seemed to be going off course, it was her responsibility to steer it back onto course. She proved to be a resourceful captain of our cruise ship named “Wedding Day”

If we could offer any advice to any couples contemplating if they should secure Hilary’s services or not…..it would be not to give it a second thought. Let her do what she does best….take charge, organize, offer you choices, and most of all….let her help you make your special day the best that it can be. Exactly what she did for us.

Hello Everyone at Dowding Water Gardens,
Thank you so much for the call the other day. It is our pleasure to send you some photos and a letter of refferal/recommendation. We just sent out all our thank you notes and sent one to you too just to thank you for the amazing work you did. We really appreciated all that you did!
Recommendation/note of thanks:
From the moment we visited Dowding Water Gardens and saw the spectacular scenery, we knew that was were we wanted to get married. Both my Husband and I had always wanted an outdoor wedding and Dowdings helped our dreams become a reality. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and extremely helpful! They worked around the clock to make

sure all the plans were taken care of, that the garden looked beautiful, and that we were happy and stress free. On the day of the wedding, they were there to make sure the guests were looked after, and they made sure that everything went smoothly, right up to the tiniest detail, like holding my train and laying it out just before I walked down the aisle. We have had so many people comment on what a beautiful location we had picked for the wedding, and we can only echo their thoughts/comments. Thank you Dowdings for making our fairytale wedding come true!

God Bless,
Vicki & Paul Greaves
