What others say about us “Live with Regis and Kelly” Photo - Brilliant by Tropical Imaging Nila Destinations coordinated the wedding of Brock and Kim Jason on the beach at Ocean Club East. Kim works as an assistant to Kelly Ripa, star of the popular ABC TV show “Live with Regis and Kelly”. Kelly attended Brock and Kim’s wedding, and said: "This is the best wedding I ever went to and I have been to a lot of weddings! " ************************************************ Elizabeth and Rosalind; The entire Nila team has been absolutely marvelous. All the months of time consuming and patient work done by Rosalind along with Elizabeth’s attentive and detailed responsiveness during our week on the island made for a truly fairy tale experience for Sarah and Magnus. It was perfect. We had a great group that has repeatedly commented about how much they enjoyed the entire Provo and wedding experience. We had great support from everyone including Tracey and Gianni at the Magnolia, Tim at the Bay Bistro and with the entire staff at the Sands. It was definitely the Myers - Lindback event of the year and will be talked about for years to come. Barb and I are all smiles – we feel like we succeeded beyond our expectations and know that would not have happened without you. Our best regards and wishing you the very best of fortunes. Bill and Barbara (parents of the bride) ********************************************** Hi Elizabeth & Rosalind- I just want to send a quick note to say "thank you" for everything last week. Everyone had such a great time, and we will have terrific memories to last a lifetime. I was especially impressed with... The reception at Anacaona (such an amazing job at setting things up to look so beautiful), the cake was gorgeous, and the flowers were amazing. The beach ceremony- and how the gazebo/ location worked so seamlessly Wow- Jervon (saxophonist)-- he is a very talented individual. I had initially thought we may be taking our chances not having heard him--- but I couldn't have been more impressed. And of course the beach bbq- it was better than I imagined and the food was terrific. I would recommend the caterer to everyone. Bridgette (hair-stylist)-- she styled hair for 7 people, and everyone's looked great. And to you, for finding the sand-dollars and the programs (and for understanding that it wasn't about the items being lost, but for realizing the time and planning that goes into that stuff!) Thanks again for everything. We are truly appreciative! Sincerely, Megan & Matt McCampbell ********************************************** Thank you again for everything, we could not have had a better day. Please thank everyone at Nila Destinations from both of us. Jaime and Matt ********************************************** Dear Elizabeth, Thanks so much for all your help, everything was perfect! I would definitely recommend your services to anyone planning on getting married in T&C. We enjoyed meeting you and working with you. Kathy and Jim ********************************************** Hi Elizabeth, Thank you for everything. You made our wedding day perfect!!!! Don't be surprised if we come back on one of our anniversaries. Take care. Mrs. Diane Ptasznyk ********************************************** Our wedding coordinators with Nila Destinations were incredible! Rosalind and Elizabeth helped us through every step of the way – from the tiny planning details that started 1 year ago through e-mail to the moment we left the reception as a married couple. Pastor Coleby, who married us, was wonderful… he helped make the ceremony amazing. The cocktail hour and reception was held at Anacaona Restaurant at Grace Bay Club, which was absolutely perfect! Thanks to Anacaona's manager, Kali! We had it all – outdoor lounge with couches, Tiki torches, overlooking the beach… elegant dinner (bravo to the chef!) under a thatched roof… candles… and dancing into the night with the tropical sounds of an incredible reggae band. At the end of the night, our wedding ceremony photos were already in our hands – and they were superb! Pennylaine did a beautiful job – we hardly knew he was taking pictures – but he captured every little detail of the ceremony. It was simply a dream – from the moment Brendan proposed to end of our “familymoon” in Turks and Caicos. Diane & Brendan Hughes ********************************************************
Beatrix, The wedding week was absolutely fantastic. Thank you to you and Elizabeth for a wonderful week. It was the best week of our life. Susan and Geoff ******************************************************** Beatrix, Dene and I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all of the hard work. Everything came off without a hitch despite what they say in the islands--that things just happen when they happen! We were so very pleased with the wedding and how natural and organic it all felt. For people like us who are very detail-oriented, it was so refreshing just to sit back and relax knowing that it was all being taken care of. We enjoyed every moment of our special day. Thank you again for everything. You helped to make one of the most memorable and joyful days in our lives such a truly, truly perfect day. All the best, Angi & Dene ****************************************************** Beatrix, It was a pleasure meeting you and we can't thank you enough for allowing us to have the most amazing, stress free & relaxing wedding!! It was perfect and all of our guests, including ourselves, loved each and every minute of our special day. Thank you again for all of your help with the planning, organizing, decorating, etc, we couldn't have done it with out you!! All the best, Jennifer & Marco Tome ****************************************************** I wanted to tell you that we have been speaking with Beth Lehtonen--you did her wedding this fall. She is a close friend of someone I work with so the mutual friend put us in touch. Anyway, she has reaffirmed all of what we already know--how wonderful you are to work with and what a great job you do! She had nothing but glowing remarks about you and the work you did. I thought I would pass that along to you. Lindsay and Matt ****************************************************** We really appreciate everything you did to make our wedding perfect! It was exactly what we wanted - simple and stress free! We think we have finally told everyone at home that we got married! My friends all say they are jealous they didn't elope!!! We have had so many compliments on our pictures. Ileana did a really great job, as did everyone else involved. We loved the ceremony, hotel, pictures, cake, flowers, and my hair and make-up too! We can't wait to find a good reason to come back to T&C! If you ever need a reference or anything else, please let us know! Thanks again to everyone at Nila Destinations! Sarah & Jeff Graf ****************************************************** Dave and I cannot thank you enough for a wonderful wedding and all the events surrounding it. Everything exceeded our expectations and you were definitely the reason for having things go so well. Leslie and Dave Jaras ****************************************************** thank you so much for everything! The entire wedding was absolutely perfect -you did an amazing job! It was a pleasure working with you! Love Allison & Blair**
Alex and I wanted to send a note to tell you how pleased we were with our wedding. It was exactly what we would have imagined it to be and more. You did an excellent job with the decoration of the flowers, the conch circle, and the cake and registration table. All the the little details were perfect. We were so pleased, and I feel terrible that we did not get to speak afterwards to tell you how happy we were. You could not have suggested a more romantic setting with the cocktail hour at the min-lounge with Anacaona and the dinner there as well. The service was outstanding and the atmosphere was breathtaking.. I know we did not have much input and it was a very small wedding, but you placed everything together perfectly, and I wanted you to know just how meaningful the day was to us. We were so thrilled we did not have to worry about a thing, because you had everything set up and timed beautifully. I adored the girls from Captain Hook Salon as well. They made me look beautiful and were also very professional as well. If I could have chosen someone here in the states to do my hair, I would have chosen them. Its so hard when planning a destination wedding, not knowing who to choose for vendors, but you made it very easy. We had the best vacation in Turks and Caicos and loved where we stayed. We have been recommending this island to everyone since we have gotten back. Although we like how it is not so popular, and more secluded than the other islands we have been too. It was truly the best vacation and wedding our friends and family have been to as well. Beatrix, thank you again, and I hope you know we would definitely recommend you to anyone inquiring about weddings or events in Turks and Caicos. We are thinking about having a family occasion there in a few years as well, because we enjoyed it so much. Sincerely, Christina and Alex Manoogian ************************************ Dear Beatrix We have recounted all the memories from our weekend wedding a hundred times and EVERY time, your name surfaces as the key reason for its incredible success! We loved every single moment from start to finish and it truly is because of you that it was so incredible! You were able to capture everything we wanted the day to be and did it all with such elegance, grace and style. From the first time I called you to inquire about weddings on Turks and Caicos, I knew I was in great hands and you never disappointed. There honestly isn't one thing that we would change about the entire affair...it was truly amazing from start to finish...all because of you! Thank you for everything. With lots and lots of love, Heather and Afwa ********************************** Dear Rosalind & Elizabeth, Thank you for all your coordination efforts to make our wedding day so wonderful. Brigitte is a true artist, and the tropical imaging crew are amazing, thank you for connecting us with them. I thought you might like to browse through some of the photos. I think the smiles say it all. :) Warm Regards, Sue Allison Dean :) http://www.tropicalimaging.com/blog/wp-content/slideshows/dean/ ********************************************** Hi Beatrix, Thank you again for all that you did to make our wedding such a special event. My family and friends were so amazed at how beautiful everything was, it was really better than we could have ever imagined. You helped tremendously! You are awesome! Please stay in touch! Love, Melanie and Jon ****************************************************** Dear Beatrix, We wanted to express to you how thrilled we were with every part of our wedding day on May 4,2005. Thank you so much for your personal attention and making our day so extraordinary! From our pre-ceremony paperwork to making sure we had the perfect flowers in our bouquets to our champagne toast, you allowed us to enjoy our ceremony to the fullest extent without having to worry about anything! Beatrix, you are truly the kindest person and it was so apparent that you care so much about your role in making this a special day for others. Thank you for taking such good care of us! We would be honored to recommend you to anyone planning to marry in Provo and wish you all the best in your life. Sincerely, Carrie Roberts & Jason Redi ********************************** Hi Beatrix, I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for all your help putting together our wedding. I apologize for the lateness of expressing my appreciation - but I just returned from our honeymoon. It was so nice to work with you - everything was perfect -and you made everything so easy! I certainly appreciate being able to relax the entire time. Our family and friends had a wonderful time in Provo and thought everything was beautiful. Both my husband Karl, and I appreciate all the extra attention and detail you brought to bear on our big day - (and keeping my nerves calm!) which made it truly special. Thanks again for your help. Karl and I are already planning our next visit down to Provo for later this year. Hopefully our paths will cross again either at the Ocean Club or elsewhere about the island so that we can stop by and say hello. Kind regards, Sarah Durkin Hamming ********************************** We just wanted to thank you for all your help with our wedding. You were such a joy to work with. You made everything so easy, enjoyable and stress free! Not many people can say that about their wedding. It was so wonderful how we were made to feel like we were the only two people in the world and not just another appointment on your schedule. We wanted to especially thank you for helping with Samantha during the ceremony. You were so warm and kind that she went right to you. Stephen and I were able to focus on each other without wondering what she was doing. That was a big concern of ours. We wish you a lifetime of health and happiness. Thank you again. sincerely, Jennifer, Stephen & Samantha Sanchez ********************************** Thank you again for helping us have our dream wedding !! It was every thing I ever dreamed my wedding would be . Everyone had such a great time. There was not a thing I would have changed ! The flowers, food, the sunset cruise, Anne who did the makeup, Geraldine who did my hair, Heather , Preston and the pictures all were amazing. Parrot Cay was also wonderful !! Kendra and John ********************************** I cannot thank you enough for helping me realize my perfect dream wedding day! You were a pleasure to work with, & everything went off without a hitch!! We were just so pleased with EVERYTHING!! All my best, Donna and Anthony ************************************ Beatrix.... Caryn and I could not have been more pleased with your efforts in planning and coordinating our wedding! Everyone we have shared the photos with has been astounded. The whole "team" you assembled for our wedding made for a very special day. Everyone at CNN says they have never seen me so happy....and they are right! I wish I knew ten more couples getting married....I'd demand they contact you for a wedding they'd never forget. Caryn and I will never forget ours. We will be back to the Islands as soon as we can, and we will look you up. xoxo Caryn & Greg ************************************ Beatrix, Craig and I wanted to thank you for our special weekend in Provo. We had an incredible time, and all of our 58 guests absolutely loved Provo! Everyone had a blast at Hemingway's Restaurant for our rehearsal dinner. It was a nice casual way to start the weekend. Our reception at Anacaona was wonderful. The food was excellent and the staff was very accommodating and friendly. But our favorite part was definitely the sunset cruise. The scenery was incredible, and it was so romantic -- such a great way to finish off our special weekend. None of our guests wanted to get off that boat. We would do it all over again! Provo is a very special place to us and such a magical place to start our married lives together. The flowers, music and decorations all looked fantastic. Thank you for your hard work and your recommendations. We wouldn't have changed a thing. All our best, Nikki and Craig Adams ********************************** Thank you again for a PERFECT wedding! I can't express in words how pleased Peter and I were with how everything turned out. Our honeymoon was great, but it just couldn't compete with Provo and the Royal West Indies. I know that we'll be returning to Provo for many years to come. Annie & Peter ********************************** I wanted to tell you that our trip to Turks and Caicos was AMAZING and the wedding was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for all of your help! I just can't express enough how much we loved everything. The flowers were beautiful, as well as the tiki torches on the beach. Pastor Colby was great, we really enjoyed meeting him and feel blessed that he was the one to perform our ceremony. You could tell that his heart is really in his work. The pictures are breathtaking, and everyone that has seen them thinks they are straight out of a magazine. Did you get the link that Ryan sent you to view the photos? You can purchase photos from that website, but if you haven't yet, please let me know and we will mail you a CD with all the pictures. Feel free to use any of the pictures on your website or other advertisements. The dinner at Coyaba was also incredible, and the cheesecake was the best I have ever had. You'll have to tell your cake lady that she does a wonderful cheesecake! Thanks again for everything, you are wonderful! Valerie and Ryan Barr ********************************** Nelson and I just want to say thank you again for making our wedding day so magical. It seems like a dream now that we are home. Thank goodness we took so many pictures. You did such a magnificent job and we consider ourselves very, very lucky to have found you on the internet. Our families had a fantastic time as well and still talk about it every time we see them. Many people are wishing they would have come now! I wish we were back there too! I have given your name to 2 brides here already. I hope they decide to have their weddings with you on the island. Again our most heartfelt thanks and appreciation for everything. The flowers, the cake, the food, the set-up, Mike and Nadia, and all the support. You truly made it the most memorable and special experience anyone could ask for in a wedding. You have a true gift. With all of our deepest gratitude- Nelson and Tessa Leung ********************************** Beatrix: We would like to thank you again for making our wedding a very memorable experience and for informing us of the wedding web page. You were an absolute pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend you to anybody. Thanks again. Hope to see you again next year for our anniversary. Best regards, Randall E. Couture ********************************************** Dear Rosalind & Elizabeth, Thank you for all your coordination efforts to make our wedding day so wonderful. Brigitte is a true artist, and the tropical imaging crew are amazing, thank you for connecting us with them. I thought you might like to browse through some of the photos. I think the smiles say it all. :) Warm Regards, Sue Allison Dean :) http://www.tropicalimaging.com/blog/wp-content/slideshows/dean/ ********************************************** I cannot thank you enough for helping me realize my perfect dream wedding day! You were a pleasure to work with, & everything went off without a hitch!! We were just so pleased with EVERYTHING!! I will be sending you a card in the mail, so look for it in about 5 weeks (the mail takes forever to get down there!) All my best, Donna ********************************************** Beatrix— We were so overjoyed and delighted by all of your work and your decisions for our October wedding at the Villa Renaissance. You have excellent taste and style and your colleagues are top notch. You run such a well-organized professional company. It was so relaxing to work with you—everything ran so smoothly—even when you had very little input from me. Weddings can be an emotional time. I thoroughly appreciated having your help getting everything together. The actual date was so relaxing and beautiful and serene. Like a dream. Unforgettable. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Mr. and Mrs. David Charles Schleifer And family. ********************************************** Dear Beatrix, It was wonderful meeting you this past weekend - I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful job you did helping Gary & Michelle plan their wedding weekend - everything was just perfect (even the weather for all the evening events!!!) - we had a great time and I'm glad they were able to stay on for a few more days alone! Hopefully we'll get another opportunity to visit T&C - the Sands was super - thanks again - Jane Serlin *********************************************** Hi Beatrix ... Alex and I want to THANK YOU for a most memorable and beautiful wedding. The weekend could not have been more perfect. The Rehearsal and the Wedding were everything we imagined it would be THANKS TO YOU !!!! We had a blast!!! Not only did Alex and I have a wonderful time but our guests have been raving about the weekend and everything you helped us coordinate. Thank you for all of your advice and direction. We can't express enough how grateful we are. Many Smiles and Best Wishes to you always Cynthia and Alex Lando *********************************************** Hi Beatrix, I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say what a fabulous job you did for Sheila and Terry for their wedding on February 20, 2004! I thought that every detail was extremely well orchestrated and congratulate you on a job well done--especially for such a large (and sometimes a bit crazy) group! We all had a great time and everyone I know really appreciated your help throughout. I hope that all is well with you and wish you much success in the future! Yours, Paula Douglas (Bridesmaid!) *********************************************** Beatrix Thank you so much for arranging our wonderful wedding. It was simply fantastic. Nothing could have been improved: everybody had a superb time on Provo, and our wedding was the perfect finish. Please also thank Oliver for me: he was great. Max and I really enjoyed our holiday as we knew that you would take care of all the details for the wedding. I only started getting nervous about an hour before the catamaran arrived - and that wasn't worrying about your arrangements! If you ever need a reference, feel free to contact me. We shall be in touch when we return for another vacation! Thank you so much. Marianne and Max Marianne Slight [marianneslight@yahoo.com]**
Dear Beatrix Can I congratulate and thank you for the wonderful job you did in helping my daughter Marianne have such a memorable day when she married Max last Friday. It was magnificent. We are busy getting the photos sorted and I will certainly pass some on to you if you like. Do you know if Oliver has e-mail access? If so, could you let me have his address - or if not, his mailing address (and his surname please!). I certainly want to write to thank him and also ask him if he could let me have a copy of the "service" he used. It was very apt and moving. Again many thanks Kind regards David Slight ******************************************************** Faye and Jason .. first off, i just wanted to thank you and your assistant for everything! our wedding was the most beautiful day of our lives--it was even better than I had pictured it in my dreams...everyone is still talking about it--and you should see the pictures, they are magical, and the video also---he did a magnificent job, everyone that saw it wished they were there. i will never forget it or you for making it all possible, you are the best!! Maybe one day we'll come back with our kids and show them where we got married. Please let Oliver Ferguson know that he was the best minister in the world, the vows were beautiful.. anyway, thank you again--you made our dreams come true--that will be one of the most unforgettable days of our lives-- sincerely, Faye ****************************************************** Beatrix! What a fantastic wedding and honeymoon. Everything was magical and perfect! We can't thank you enough! We miss the island terribly and will most definitely be back! Thank everyone again and please know that you are doing a fantastic job! Lots of love, Becky and Jason ****************************************************** Beatrix, Well we are back in the real world again and very sad to have left Provo. I don't think we could have possibly had a better trip. We also want to thank you for helping us with exactly what we wanted with the wedding ceremony. It was the perfect amount of planning (not much for me!), perfect company, perfect ceremony, perfect flowers, perfect weather, and we had great wedding cake every morning for breakfast!We also want to tell you that we were thrilled with the quality of pictures. So thank you for all that and making the arrangements. It really allowed us to enjoy our entire stay on the island without having to worry about pulling it all together. ****************************************************** hi there! we are back safely and missing you all so much. there is no place finer than T&C. we had a truly splendid time. I took my wedding photo album to work today and everyone was oohing and ahhhing. I felt still very much the glowing bride. haj sends a hello and lots of appreciation for all your hard work. Keep playing in your beautiful beach, and do not work too hard. by the way, coyabas was truly delish! Take care and hope too see you again next year! ****************************************************** Beatrix,** Thank you so much for all of your hard work in planning our wedding. As you know, I have spend some time as a Bridal Consultant. I was a little worried about having someone else plan all the details of my wedding, especially in a place that I had never even been to before! But, hats off to you. You did a great job and I wouldn't have changed one single thing. The minute we sat down together to go over the final details, I knew that I didn't have a thing to worry about. Everything was perfect. The flowers were perfect. The location was breathtaking. Everyone involved with the wedding did their part and were on time for everything. The cake was awesome- and much larger than we ever expected. (We fed everyone in the restaurant that night!) Not only were you pleasant to work with, but everyone on the island was so nice. They spoiled us rotten everywhere we went. We really did not want to leave. :( I would suggest your services and the Turks & Caicos Islands to anyone. If you ever need another reference, feel free to give me a call. Thank you again. It turned out better than I ever imagined! Cheers, Mrs. Kimberly l. Rubinstein ******************************************************** Cindy and Dan Hello Beatrix: Just wanted to touch base with you and tell you what a magnificent job you did for Dan and Cindy. There wedding was so lovely thanks to you. They were very pleased. I saw the pictures yesterday and the photographer did a great job!!!! I will keep my ears open regarding a possible rep job. We don't have a lot of tour operators selling the Turks and Caicos. It is a very expensive Island to visit and the average traveller looks for cheaper destinations unfortunately. I think the Beaches is probably the most popular with Canadaian Families. Our group certainly enjoyed themselves other than the little bug bites. Everyone enjoyed the food at the Allegro as well as the magnificent beach, pool and fabulous evening entertainment, not to mention the fact that the resort was not busy. It was great meeting you and I hope our paths cross again someday. Sincerely: Diane Ellsmere ( mother in law ) ****************************************************** KIM & STEVE SMITH My name is Kim and my husband is Steve and we were married on 02-02-02 in Provo. What a dream. We hired Beatrix to handle everything and she did. We met with her the first morning we were on the island to provide documentations, to meet with the person who was performing the ceremony, and the photographer. (She arranged all that) Then we proceed on to enjoy our week before the wedding. Saturday came and we were the most relaxed couple to be married on the beach because Beatrix handled everything and I mean everything. She arranged for the flowers, dinner reservations, when to start (sun down), the champagne for the toast. I had several email interactions with her prior to arriving and she made herself very accessible to us after arrival. We can not say enough positive things about Beatrix. You made a great choice with her and a great choice of islands to get married on. Provo is beautiful, we can not wait to go back. If there is anything else we can help with, let us know. I was just sending a message to you when I received yours, so let me add on. We had a very small wedding, just Steve and I. (This is both of our second marriages) I think the only thing I would of done differently would be my hair! Our day was perfect and very dreamyyyyy. I put everything in Beatrix's lap and she took care of everything. Our pictures are 5 by 7s and they gave us the negatives so we can do different sizes back here. If you what something different, express that to Beatrix. The owner of the photo studio is very pleasant and helpful. The whole island is very accommodating. We can't wait to go back to see the people we became friends with. When is the day? What else can I help you with? We stayed at the Royal West Indies. Where are you staying? How many people are attending? What are you wearing? I'm so excited for you. We had the best time, we even ended up extending our stay from 7 days to 9. Kim and Steve Smith ****************************************************** AUDREY & STEVE We had a wonderful time in Turks and Caicos. It is really a water island -- so if you are into sitting on the beach, scuba diving, snorkeling, etc. It is perfect. Beatrix made our wedding the success and occasion that it was. She is very attentive to details and responsive to what you are looking for. I was also trying to work with the wedding coordinator at our resort, the Allegro, and got very frustrated b/c of their lack of responsiveness. For that very reason, I insisted on working with Beatrix. In addition, Beatrix is very sweet and smart. I felt like she understood what I wanted to do and how this was the biggest day of my life. She offered great suggestions - like decorating the gazebo we got married in and even had thoughts on how to decorate it. It did look great, as I think you can see from the pictures. I think the important thing to remember is that you are in the islands and they don't have access to everything we have in the states and such. For this very reason I enjoyed it b/c it made decision making much easier. Three choices of musicians -- keyboardist, guitarist or steel drum. Highly recommend the steel drums & bongos. It gives a true island feel and is so fun. Another thing was flowers and what was available down there. I just used the island flowers of daisies and bougainvilleas (which are beautiful) and then had them get white roses shipped in. Not too complicated and very much doable, plus I provided a picture of the bouquet that I liked for me. I felt that any decisions I made with Beatrix I could trust her judgment and know they were going to get done correctly. I also think she is extremely well priced for her services. Plus, she has great contacts on the islands that help in getting things done right. I highly recommend using Beatrix and NILA Destinations. Best of Luck! Audrey**
