“Highly Recommended”

(For Sam, as promised, that review I promised you. Thanks again for all your hard work!)
We found Absolute Perfection on 1st page of google natural listings, which for me indicates that they are a well established company. Their online portfolio was exceptional; fees were pretty standard but certainly not overblown. I remember requesting a brochure via email and had a swift, detailed response. They certainly stood out. They also offered to provide references - we followed up one and spoke to a bride who spoke very highly of them (of Sam in particular). I think we had already made our minds up by this stage. He was available and the subsequent meeting was a formality.

Thankfully we were not restricted by budgetary constraints. We knew the sort of style and type of wedding we wanted. However we both have rather demanding jobs. We were primarily looking for a professional that we could trust and who knew exactly what they were doing.

For the venue and each supplier Sam provided a small shortlist and arranged meetings for us with those that stood out. I think he sourced 30 venues and shortlisted 5 for us to consider. We only viewed 2 of them as the first was just perfect! A similar process continued for all other suppliers. He has some very talanted people on his books.

The designing and styling part was pretty much left up to Sam. He presented a range of options and ideas to us and we were able to pick and choose those that we felt best suited our requirements.

A couple of areas we were rather suprised about was the fact the service included assistance with arranging our guests travel and accommodation and also the honeymoon. In fact we saved £1,300 on the latter thanks to one of his travel agents undercutting a quote I was ready to go with.

From start to finish, nothing we asked was too much trouble for him. He oversaw each aspect of our wedding in a calm and profession manner. I frequently deal with blue chip companies at work and have never received such a personal and attentive level of service. And just wait until you see how detailed his schedule for the wedding day is. He draws everything together and presents in hard copy, as clear as day. Brilliant.

I doubt you will find better.
