Has anybody looked into the best overseas wedding insurance?

Thanks

Amy

Hi Amy

I didn't take any out in the end but I know the John lewis one was highly recommended. You need to make sure they alow for a different date for ceremony and reception, as your ceremony in in the uk.

Hi everyone iv just finished making these vintage travel luggage label Save the Dates for another Ibiza Bride If anyone is interested in me making these for them pm me for info thanks

Hey everyone!

So 6 weeks post my Ibiza wedding - photos will be posted soon... I have the blues still but married life is AWESOME! As a few of you asked about the weightloss plan i followed I have posted my story for you to read.... if you are interested then get in touch

I have been on Juice PLUS for 5 months now and actually realizing how much it has changed my life around and how different it makes me feel is quite amazing.

As 2013 started it meant 1 thing… the year of my wedding, and as with almost every woman out there this was my dream and I wanted to make sure I looked the absolute best I could…. I had gained a few pounds that I wanted to lose and was hoping to achieve a toned body and fit in to my dream wedding dress. However, an unforeseen circumstance in the lead up to the wedding had caused an unbelievable amount of stress – I was turning to comfort eating which was not agreeing with my IBS, I couldn’t sleep at night and my emotions were becoming uncontrollable. Enough was enough, I had to do something – this was my wedding year, and the one time that I should have been feeling on top of the world and instead I was an emotional wreck and feeling pretty dam awful, not the beautiful bride that I wanted to be.

I thought back to the previous year when my fiancé had used a product called Juice PLUS to lose weight and I remember how this had also changed his self esteem as well. The more I read up about Juice PLUS the more I was noticing the common theme, weightloss, sleep better, better digestion, increase energy… I realised this was not about just having a quick fix but actually making a change to my whole health and lifestyle.

So I got myself signed up for the shakes and signed up for the capsules – and all I can say is WOW! – People don’t really believe it when they hear, “you notice results straight away”, but well I did! The capsules were brilliant. Within the week I noticed I was no longer craving high sugar foods, I was actually sleeping at night, emotions felt easier to control, I could switch off to things that I didn’t want to think about and I felt like I had more energy. Teaming this with the shake plan and having the motivation, energy and happiness to want to exercise I suddenly felt in a much better place. I was happy, I was getting the body back that I loved, my IBS calmed down, I was craving better food my whole appearance just began to look healthier and I actually felt like the beautiful bride I wanted to be.

June 28 2013 was the most amazing day of my life, I married the man of my dreams in Ibiza in my absolute dream dress and felt a lot lot more than a million dollars!

Now I wouldn’t ever go back…. The capsules each morning give me an amazing energy boost, the shakes kick start my breakfast off with something packed full of goodness and my outlook on food has totally changed. I am now not on a diet – I love how I look and feel – I understand health so much more and love to feel healthy. I crave nutritious food and know that I am fuelling myself with nutrients that will not just benefit me now but also in years to come. I am passionate about Juice PLUS and LOVE it…. I want to get the name out there more and get people feeling how I feel. Life is too short to not be happy with yourself and to not be able to do all the things you want to do… anyone can achieve what they want and love and live their life just like I do…..

Hi everyone,

I'm another Elixir bride booked for 2nd June 2014 so getting into logistics and planning stages ?

We haven't yet decided on a specific hotel or villa but know that we will probably stay in Santa Eulalia so now being asked by our guests where they should stay ........ If anyone has, or is staying around this area I would be interested in finding out your plans/tips/advice?

Another concern I have is music as I really want a sax player to work with the DJ in the evening but Lovely Laura is just too expensive at 700e per hour. I don't want hardcore dance music as it wouldn't suit the party but someone who can play along to well known dance songs to still keep the Ibiza feel......not fussy at all I know ? - again any experiences would be really helpful.

Thank you x

Hi Gem,

I've DJ'd with Laura lots of times and she is fantastic! Most of the sax players I work with are are €500+ for a 90 min set or similar but there are a few that are cheaper than that.

My cheapest package is around €800 for DJ and sax if that works?

hi sophia,

i don't have anything recent that i can send you, but i've DJ'd at a few hacienda weddings this year, so feel free to ask me anything and i'll try my best to put you in touch with some of the wedding couples :-)

I've played a fair few times at Cas Mila, but the DJ included in the package is Candi's son.

Hiya BeeZwax

Thanks for the detail definitely interested in finding out more re your packages and am comfortable for a 90 min set to pay especially with a DJ also. Have you any names/YouTube examples so I could check them out? It's just with the Elixir you have to pay 400e for their sound system then a DJ, about 400e then on top Laura at 700e for the hour. I've also been looking at the Wed Kandi option but that's 1500 for three hours plus 400 for sound system.

My email is *****.*********@*******.**.** if you'd be able to share some detail? Also be good to hear from previous brides experiences as I'm driving myself crazy with all of these decisions!!!

Thank you ?

Hi all Ibiza brides....

It's so exciting reading all these posts. We are also getting married at the Cas Mila next July! We went to Cala Tarida in May and fell in love with the beach and Cas Mila straight away. Anne, who works with Candi, met with us and provided us with lots of information and answered our many questions. I paid our deposit by bank transfer which took a while to get over but it was safe and felt comfortable doing it that way. So excited to actually start planning our big day - currently having the nightmare of finding the perfect dress! So can't wait to get that ticked off the list.

What are everybody's plans for accommodation and getting ready the day of the wedding? We are hoping to stay in a villa as need somewhere big enough for me and 5 bridesmaids (gulp) to get ready on the big day - has anybody got any recommendations of particular villas or websites? Past Ibiza brides.... what did you do??

All excited Linzi xxxxx

Hi linzi!

im on my way to airport now to fly out Ibiza! Can't wait will be seeing candi as well for our wedding next year! Isn't it exciting?! I just want to get there and see it and put a deposit down!

Rav

I've got some pictures/prices/menus that I was sent last week I can forward on to you if you give me your email address.

Ohhhh please can I have some information? *******@*******.**.** and if you give me your emails I'll pass on all the information I have too xx

rav

You lucky thing!!! You'll have so much fun - are you just going to Cas Mila?

Enjoy and good luck xx

Can't wait! Just waiting for the flight now!! We are having a look at atzaro as well with katia!

Sabina finally got back to me and hacienda isn't as expensive as I thought it would be! Have you dj'd at Sa Punta? We are deciding between Sa Punta, Experimental Beach Club (both of which I've seen) and Hacienda (which I haven't seen). Such a tough choice! I love that you can party until 4am at Hacienda, but I'm a little nervous about booking something I haven't seen... Help! :-) Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Hi Lauren,

I actually heard back from Sabina, but thank you for the kind offer. What are your thoughts on Hacienda? It's the only venue I'm interested in that I didn't get to see in person!

Thanks so much x

Ooh we fly out a week tomorrow to see Cas Mila. I'm so excited! We re meeting Candi before she has a wedding so we can see it all set up. We've sent out our invites so that people can book flights as they one out, booked gloss Ibiza for hair and make up... Plans are well under way!

So will anyone be having table plans out in Ibiza? Random thing to be thinking about?

In the meantime.... for any London Brides....

Want to boost your exercise and fat loss or tone up a bit.... then for September I and a top London Fitness Instructor will be running 4 Bootcamp sessions 1 evening in a central London Park... this will be over 4 weeks, so 1 session a week and will be approximately 1 hour in time.

Could you send me the details too please?

Yeah no problem, what's your email address? x

Hoping these quotes work!

Hi Sophia,

I've done weddings at Sa Punta and it's a lovely spot, but I think the overall cost is a fair bit more and like many venues they have to be fairly careful with volume levels.

The late finish time is a big selling point at the Hacienda as most of the beach venues cut the music to chill-out/background level at midnight so you have to aim to have the party pretty much wrapped up by then.

The Hacienda is still my favourite venue - most of my best weddings have been there or in villas this year, so it should definitely be top of your list even if you can't see it. I can put you in touch with some previous brides to set your mind at rest if you like? I've also got some photos from a wedding there a few weeks ago so you can what it looks like at a wedding....

Hi Lauren,

Fab - enjoy looking at all the venues! Can't wait to hear your thoughts! :-) xx

Hi all

What is everyone doing for entertainment in the eve of their wedding? Equally those that have had their weddings I'd be interested what worked well. Currently talking to Beezwax about having him, Jude Elliott and Deva the sax player......anyone got any feedback having had/seen them?

Advice greatly appreciates - don't know what to do!!!!???? ?

Just to note wedding will be at Elixir and I can't find any photos of the evening bit of weddings so struggling to imagine what it'd be like.......????

What have you sorted so far with Candi? We are May 2014 but other than booking I've not really contacted her much yet. I feel like I should be stating to get things sorted now, but not really sure where to start!

Hello brides and brides to be

I wondered if anyone can give me any recommendations or forward me pictures done by Ibiza photography?

Ana lui isn't available for my wedding and I haven't really seen enough of Ibiza photography to make up my mind.

I also like gypsy and her assistants pictures and wondered if anyone has used her assistant?

We are now trying to spend a little less as our cat has broke his leg and we didn't have insurance and its costing is over £3000 just for the op and thats coming from the wedding fund and I suspect we are going to have to pay more :-/ note to self, get pet insurance!!!

Thanks in advance xxx

Hi

i haven't sorted specific details with candi yet as it is peak wedding season now so I am collecting all my questions for in a few weeks when I expect her attention will turn to us 2014 brides! Exciting!

i have been busy booking our holiday, doing invites, a wedding website, buying bridesmaid dresses. All things that are separate to the actual wedding package.

Where are you with the planning? Send me your email perhaps we can give each other ideas and support!!

Kate

Ok I will let you know where I am at and what i have sorted with all my costings!! :-)
