Mark & Diane Thompson

I cannot speak highly enough of Richard and his team. We decided to get married in the Dominican Republic, and as my family are from England and my wife’s family are from Australia, many of our friends are in USA, and we were living in Chile, it was a truly global wedding. When we do something, we like to do it as well as it can possibly be done, so a good wedding planner was essential. Richard was exactly what we hoped for.
During the planning, we had many ideas of what we wanted, none of which were a problem for Richard to organize. The helicopter from the house we were staying at to the beach, the stunning location of the ceremony (watch out for the dogs), the fireworks, the british style roast beef dinner, the cake with penguins on an iceberg (I proposed in Antarctica), the activities during the week before and after the wedding, the VIP reception at the airport, the 2 bands. All of it was organized perfectly and all we had to do was tell Richard what we wanted it and it was done. He also came up with plenty of suggestions of his own and we tended to agree to all of them.
There were many other small touches that we didn’t expect: All of our transport during the week had our names and the wedding date emblazoned on the side, the appetizers before the meal looked incredible, he even managed to get the rain to hold off until after the fireworks.
It ended up being a week that 60 people will never ever forget. Everyone keeps telling us they wish they were still there, and can we do it all again.
If you are thinking of a destination wedding, I whole-heartedly recommend Dominican Republic and Richard Weber.
