The site is really, really fantastic and the service you provide is truly outstanding. You have made this such an easy process. … I have to say, we have had such amazing feedback about the site. People really love it! … We really can't say enough great things about your service. Your attention to detail and your personal responses to all of our inquiries put you on an entirely different level from all of the other honeymoon sites we researched.

— Carolyn and Fernando Bohorquez, New York, USA

Buy Our Honeymoon provided us with a faultless service. A brilliant idea to start off with, the system itself is easy to use, highly flexible, and customisable — our guests thought it was fantastic. All this and superb customer service to boot. We can't recommend Buy Our Honeymoon highly enough!

— Niki Strange and James Bennett, Brighton

We've just got back from our honeymoon and I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Buy Our Honeymoon because we would never, ever have been able to have the honeymoon that we did, without you. The website was easy to set up and our guests loved the idea that they weren't just giving us cash. Thank you for being so patient with me, so helpful and so friendly. If only all the wedding preparations were as fun or as stress-free!

— Michelle and Mark Young, Worcestershire, on our Facebook wall

Not only is this site really intuitive and well constructed but the customer service you have provided to date has been first-class! I can honestly say that I've never experienced such quick, polite and personal service when dealing with a website, so thank you again!

— Scott Hart and Rebecca Moss, Surrey

Aloha! Wanted to tell you now that we're back from our honeymoon that we had the best experiences ever thanks to you! Researching gifts to put on our list made us do things we never would have.

Our guests loved the personal touches we included, like the photos and information about why we wanted the gifts, and the site was so easy for them to use! (for us to set up too for that matter!)

And finally: I'd like to say that I am so grateful that you never delete our pages. My husband and I spent a lot of time setting it up and it means a lot to us that we'll always be able to revisit it.

— Jamila and Marc Lewis, Cardiff

I have to say, your site is wonderful. I love how much flexibility your registry gives, both in listing items and in customizing it. I had a registry set up on a different honeymoon registry site, and I just went and deleted it (we hadn't publicized the registry yet), because I like your registry set up so much more!

— Elaine Swick and David Sims, Arizona, USA

Wow! This has been such a fantastic way to organise our wedding gifts. We have been blown away by how easy it is to create and customise a site dedicated to our honeymoon.

The vast majority of our guests raved about this idea! It has also helped us to map out each stage of our honeymoon in detail and we can reference every generous gift and keep a record while we're away. Genius idea, we wish we had thought of it.

— Jonathan and Gemma Sharpe, Surrey

I LOVE this website. It's so easy to use, looks amazing and the customer service is second to none!

— Kirsty Torrance and Peter Gowton, Lincolnshire, on our Facebook wall

Thank you so much for a BRILLIANT service. The website was easy and fun to set up and was just what we were looking for to set up our perfect wedding list. The instructions were easy to follow, designs fantastic, the gift cards very good quality and the help I received when I called the helpline was great. Most of our guests commented on how great our wedding gift website was and a few of them who are getting married soon have decided to use you. We really liked the idea of ‘suggest a gift’ and got some very funny ones!!

— Xavi Xerri and Mark Woods, Bristol

The website worked out brilliantly for Claire and I.

We used it for our honeymoon month in Vietnam and it made such a difference to our trip. Rather than struggling on a fairly tight budget, thanks to all our gifts we were able to do loads of tours, stay in nice hotels and have the trip of a lifetime. We did luxury cruises, cooking courses, stayed with local families, surfed, ate amazing seafood — and it was all made so much easier thanks to your easy-to-use and reliable website.

— Ian Winterton and Claire Metherell, Castres, France

I cannot tell you how much we love your site! It's a genius idea and we found everything about it amazing. Your customer service was so friendly and helpful, setting up the list was so straightforward and simple, the look of the pages was simple and fresh and our friends and family found it so easy to use as well. We got SO MANY compliments as well, people actually ENJOYED looking at our list and it came across as thoughtful and personal rather than some bland gift registry at a department store. We were able to really show our personalities. I hope to not use you again (haha!) but I really can't commend you enough for your fantastic site.

— Heather Leigh Murray and David Keenan, Texas, USA

We were so pleased we decided to go with Buy Our Honeymoon for our wedding list. All of our guests commented that it was such a unique idea, and so personal to us, and your service has been second to none.

— Karen Livingston and Andrew Barnett, Glasgow

This website is awesome. I've searched the entire internet looking at every honeymoon registry website and this is by far the best!

— Dan Caryk and Sonja Isobe, Canada

A quick note to say thank you very much for our gift list. It was exactly what we needed. You also offer an excellent service — queries answered and solved efficiently on the phone and by email. We especially loved that we could choose an alternative currency and really personalise with text and photos. It's great that we can still view our list as we have not yet got round to the thank you cards.

— Ekta Parmar and Peter Fors, Essex

I just wanted to send a massive thank you for your fabulous service and great help today!

I messed up with my PayPal account and you were so so helpful and helped me sort the whole thing out in the best possible way! People keep saying to me that there must be some catch with only the one up front payment to you but today the service you provided me was above and beyond and I really wanted to thank you!

— Anna Cullen and Daryl Guy, Nottingham

We thought your website was a superb idea and can testify to having a great honeymoon as a result.

— Alice Huber and Guy Evans, London

We've been delighted with the site and your support and would definitely recommend it to other couples. It's definitely the best gift list around.

There's nothing I would change, it's easy to use, simple to navigate and organise. Great job!

Unfortunately I doubt you get much repeat business!

— Paul and Stephanie Walker, Surrey

Now that the dust has settled, we just wanted to drop you a quick line to say that we were delighted to have chosen your site for our wedding list. It is a brilliant idea, especially for those couples who, like us, have been together for many years and don't need any more housewares or vouchers. We found the site very easy to set up and use, and it has also been invaluable as a reminder when sending thank you letters to guests. The feedback we have had from our guests has also been 100% positive. Thanks again, and best wishes for the future.

— Edward Bacon and Maddie Baxter, Essex

We were very happy with the gift registry, and so were our friends. It was a great way of getting the gift that we wanted the most — quality time and romantic moments in exotic surroundings. We had a wonderful time in Tanzania and Zanzibar, and now we have lots of great memories to keep our hearts and marriage warm when everyday life kicks in.

— Hilde Rusten and Bjorn Gunnar Pollen, Oslo, Norway

We wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate you on a fantastic website which enabled our guests to buy us the most amazing honeymoon to the Maldives.

We found it very easy to use, good value and graphically far superior to any of your competitors. We particularly liked the ‘business card’ with our unique web address that we slipped into our invitations and also many of the developments you made over the past 12 months.

Your help and support in assisting our less web savvy guests to purchase gifts was also excellent. They were very impressed.

We now have the long but pleasurable task of thanking our guests which is made so simple with the gift history section.

— Sian and Luke Smithers, Berkshire

We have used your service and thought it fantastic — we couldn't fault the website in any way. It's a great concept that gave us the chance to use your design skills, but maintain total autonomy when it came to cash.

— Katie Bowman and Mike Chamberlain, London

Thank you so much. This is such a great idea and exactly what we were looking for.

— Christopher O'Connor and Clayton Dowty, New York, USA

The website is fantastic and easy to use and the link through to PayPal was brilliant. Your service was great when elderly Aunts had questions relating to the service and your build team was very accommodating when we suggested a few changes that we would have liked. Overall, a first class product and service that we shall be recommending to friends and family for a long time to come.

— Alan and Ellie Faherty, Hampshire

Your service was fantastic and I've recommended it to everyone who mentions a bridal list!

— Ruth and Alex Pike, Berkshire

Thank you for a fantastic service, you made our lives leading up to our wedding very easy. We are still amazed how efficient, quick and easy it was to get set up and our guests loved the personalised descriptions and photo we were able to upload. We will happily recommend your services to anyone planning on getting married...

— Alex Gerl and Tim Bevan, London

I have to say the gift list was one of the best, most innovative, easy to use, original ideas of the whole event! Everyone thought it was so personal to us and felt like we had given it so much thought. Not one thing went wrong — unheard of these days! Thank you so much.

— Susan and Stephen Wilcock, London

We thought Buy Our Honeymoon was a brilliant idea right from the start, but it surpassed our expectations. It was so easy to use, FUN to use, great value for money and our guests really loved the idea and had a great time picking gifts for us. What we hadn't really thought about was how much more special it would make the honeymoon itself, as each time we did one of our gifts we thought about the people that bought it for us. Can't recommend it highly enough.

— Karen Dawe and Stuart Down, Bristol

Just wanted to say that you have been absolutely amazing throughout our whole process of arranging our honeymoon! Clearly we were a bit thick at the start when we had one or two problems with PayPal but you sorted these out without a moment's hesitation. Our honeymoon was absolutely incredible and wouldn't have been the same without your help! Thanks again (you were great)

— Jill and Adam Redhouse, London

Thank you so much for helping us create the honeymoon and website of our dreams. We had a fantastic time and all our guests commented on what a great idea it was to have a honeymoon website and also how easy it was to use.

— Julie and James Emmanuel, Manchester

We've just sent out our invitations and people are starting to reserve items from our list, and we've had loads of comments about what a great website it is and what a novel idea. It's all so easy to set up and the service is fab too - thank you x

— Sarah Murray and Gary Evans, West Midlands, on our Facebook wall

Just a quick one to say I think your website is absolutely brilliant and that you have really made our wedding gift list so much more interesting than just asking for money!

— Catherine Smith and Adrian Mills, Solihull

This website and service was fantastic — perfect — just what we wanted/needed. What could be a more perfect way to pay for a honeymoon of a lifetime without actually asking for cash? Thank you!

— Jill Parker and Matthew Wood, Kent

I was talking to Richard earlier about how lovely you have been and how I am sure you are a woman who never sleeps (judging by the prompt replies I get to me e-mails at odd hours). Thank you for for all your attention, I have to say this is one wedding related thing that has been a breeze! I will heartily recommend you when asked.

— Clare Hutchinson and Richard Goodchild, Ipswich

Thank you so much for such a fab service. So many of our guests commented on how much they loved our list — and how easy it was to use! We also opted for you guys to suggest gifts for our list and the ones you came up with were perfect. One less thing to worry about with all the other stuff on the to do list!

— Emily and George McCullough, Surrey

Thank you for an absolutely awesome service and a fantastic idea. We always wanted money for our honeymoon but had no idea how to ask for it. Buy Our Honeymoon provided that answer, and more. Our guests were fascinated by the concept and we certainly had a memorable honeymoon. We even have enough funds left to go back to Paris in August for a mini honeymoon to do all of the things we didn't manage last time!! We enjoyed making up our list and enjoyed knowing that everything we did on honeymoon was been selected for us by our friends and was been chosen with as much care and love than if they were shopping for the more conventional wedding list. If anything, we found our "gifts" to be more personal to us than anything material we could have asked for.

— Elizabeth and Matt Bryant, Kent

This is just a quick email to say thank you to you and the company for all your help! We just got back from New York a few days ago and had a fantastic time. We got bought a lot of things from the site which enabled us to make the honeymoon even more memorable! We also got a lot of positive comments from our guests about the whole buy-our-honeymoon idea — think we may have a few friends who'll use it in the future.

— Mark Hardie and Sylvia Nash, Edinburgh

I thought the service was great, you guys were really helpful and I liked the way you were keen to make improvements to the service. I have probably recommended you to at least 5 other couples.

— Charlotte and Nick Penfold, London

Thank you very much for your excellent service. We had a great wedding and honeymoon, and your website received lots of compliments. I found it easy to use, as did the guests who reserved gifts. It was well worth the money — and I would definitely recommend your website to anyone looking for this sort of service.

— Jenna and Chris Sainsbury, Birmingham

We're 7 weeks to go to the wedding, and although it's probably the norm to thanks you guys afterwards, I just had to do it now — the site has been amazing — everyone thinks it is great and they all feel so involved, which is exactly what we wanted. Putting the site together was such a giggle for us, and now we can't wait to go!

— Tina Hookway and Richard Wood, Doncaster

It's so nice to do things through your website, you take care so well of everyone! Thanks a lot, you made our honeymoon much much much better! … It was the best trip ever!

And we did not even spend everything, so we got some extra to start the year with, which was very encouraging.

It was a lovely service what you provided and everyone was very enthusiastic participating in it!

Lots of success to you, and many thank you's again!

— Karina Sabac and Marijn Simons, The Netherlands

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful service — so easy to use and all our guests said they love it! We are now planning the honeymoon of our dreams and are so excited!

— Caroline Kippen and Matthew Donald, London, on our Facebook wall

All of our friends and family who used the site thought it was a wonderful idea. I thoroughly enjoyed creating the site and making it personal to us. We got everything we asked for and had the most amazing honeymoon so thank you very much for all of your help!

— Lauren and Graeme Newall, Edinburgh

Now our wedding — and honeymoon — are over, I wanted to convey our many thanks to you and to Buy Our Honeymoon! Our experience of the service has been absolutely brilliant. The site is so easy to use, and we really enjoyed setting our pages up. Putting them together really made us excited about the trip ahead, which hadn't felt like a reality before! I know that people who bought us gifts enjoyed looking through the pages, and also found it easy to use. We couldn't have hoped for better, and are very grateful to you!

— Emily Cole and Matthew Spriggs, London

We were delighted with your service and had the most fantastic honeymoon, with your help.

All our guests commented on how easy the website was to use, and we loved helping to create the different items. We would definitely recommend Buy Our Honeymoon to any couple who are looking forward to an alternative wedding list. 100% professional and a wonderful creative way to create a honeymoon.

— Sarah Mahomed-Ross and Dexter Mahomed, London

Your site is fabulous and the service is fantastic. I always suggest it when talking to other brides on wedding forums!

— Victoria Turnbull and Tom Tootal, London

Thank you very much for the service you provided in setting up the webpage for our guests.

From start to finish the process was easy and simple, we were able to choose everything about our page so it could be tailored exactly how we wanted it.

The extra service we paid for where ideas were given to us in relation to the places we visited was great too. We didn't know about some of the things in Mauritius until we'd seen your ideas.

We'll definately recommend you to all our friends, thank you very much again.

— Luke Broadbent and Amy Jones, York

I would like to take this opportunity to say how pleased both me and my husband were with the service we received from Buy Our Honeymoon. You always responded to our questions within a matter of hours and we were very impressed how easy the website was to use for both us and our wedding guests. We have subsequently had the most amazing, action-packed honeymoon and we couldn't have organised it so easily without your help — thank you!

— Louise and Darren Bullis, Wiltshire

I love this idea. You can customize your wish list and register for everything from deeply romantic honeymoon experiences to hepatitis vaccinations to sock yarn. And Shelley and Andrew Green, the couple who created and run it, are fantastic and helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone who's getting hitched but doesn't need china.

— Rosemary Rowe and Kate Trgovac, Vancouver, on Rosemary's blog

Thanks very much again for all your answers. Very prompt and I will certainly be recommending this site to anyone I know that is wanting to set up something like this in the future.

— Martin Hill and Claire Mould, Kent

I wanted to tell you that lots of our family/friends have been very impressed by the website and the originality of it. So far, we have only heard some very positive feedback. From our perspective as well, we had first tried to do it through [a competitor], but the quality of design/service you are offering is far beyond their reach, and so we did not hesitate for long before switching to your website.

— Pierre-Adrien Nicolas and Amanda Smith, London

We loved using Buy Our Honeymoon for our wedding gift list. It's great to able to logon anytime and see what's happening, plus it was exciting to get the emails telling us we had new gifts!

Also, when we ordered additional cards they arrived really quickly, so all in all we were really happy with the site.

— James Clark and Melissa Albert, Northamptonshire

We just wanted to say that we were really impressed with this site, and our guests all commented on its originality when ordering our gifts. It really helped to add to the 'uniqueness' we wanted from our special day, we will definitely recommend you in future!

— Paula and Ben Miles-Matthewson, Surrey

The set up went smoothly — the trial idea was a big plus for me. And the site was fantastic. It had a much more professional look to it than other comparable sites and was more flexible too. I am quite a technophobe and our site still looked fabulous because it was so simple to use and of such high quality.

— Suzanne and Chris Staden, London

Fantastic website and service. I can only say positive things about the value for money and ease of use of the whole service. Such a clever and simple idea. It really met our needs and no one said they found it hard to use or anything like that. THANKS

— Jackie Mundy and Glenn Howie, Surrey

As a couple that have lived together for several years, we thought this website was a fantastic idea. It seems our friends and family agree as everyone commented on what a fantastic idea it was & we were overwhelmed by people's generosity. We would not hesitate to recommend this service, it was easy & pain free to set up and to be able to still view our gift history is wonderful. Thank you for helping us to have a fantastic honeymoon!

— Debra and Peter Gravill, Cheshire

We found your site extrememly successful and well run. All our guests commented on the originalilty of it and it allowed us to have the honeymoon of our dreams which we may not have otherwise been able to have. We have consequently recommended your site to several of our friends engaged to be married.

— Louis and Jessie Lancaster, Hertfordshire

Shelley, I have to say your customer service is fantastic. You totally exceeded my expectations … If I had any doubt about which list service to use, you removed it! Thank you!

— Charlie Shedden and Jon Flannagan, West Lothian

We think you have a great concept, website style and the look is good. Your website is the only one I have found that provides the hosting of the list etc and leaves the money transactions to our guests' discretion. The other websites didn't give me enough confidence in that area.

— John Bailey and Lisa Wood, Worcester

I have been recommending the website to everyone I know who's getting married and they all absolutely love it!

— Lana Pugh and Gareth Hughes, Wales

I LOVE this service. By far the coolest and most fun wedding registry ever, and definitely the prettiest and best value of the honeymoon registry sites. Thanks again!

— Lynsey McCarthy and Gerald Buerer, California, USA

I totally love it — and John does too … I'm really really happy!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

— Emma and John Driver, County Durham

Our list is fantastic and we've received so many compliments at how personal it is, so we're really pleased to have set up our list with you. Thanks so much for all your help in getting an ideal URL for us, and for your wonderful software for making it all so easy!

— Tracey Fraser and Martin Robinson, Tyne and Wear

We're really enjoying your website — thank you so much for creating it! Your story was so nice to read — I sensed right away that you were great people, and I really like the site you have put together. The artwork is very attractive and simple, and to us, it's worth the money to have this interface.

— Sarah Brown and Jeff Napper, Pennsylvania, USA

A big thank you for all your help in setting up our list! Everybody absolutely loved it and found it so easy to use! It was the perfect way to help us with our honeymoon, and our friends enjoyed buying experiences as it felt like they were buying something specific for us, and not just giving us money! We found that each one of them bought the gift that most reflected their personalities, and we still remember all of their comments, as they were so funny and appropriate!

— Benedetta and Federico Sali, London

What a fantastic service! You were really helpful at every step and the service felt very personal.

— Hugh Raine and Lucinda Sugden, West Yorkshire

Many thanks for your kind generosity, we have had nothing but good experiences with creating the list so far, a fantastic site and an invaluable tool in our honeymoon planning!

— Andy Law and Abbie Carr, Aberdeen

We wanted to say that your website was absolutely fabulous!! We have recommended it to all of our engaged friends so we hope you get a few contracts through our recommendation!

— Kathryn Kennedy and Ben Larsen, London

Thanks for providing such a perfect service! Of the people so far who have seen our list they think it is an amazing idea, and hopefully it will get us our dream honeymoon, especially after all the expense of the big day itself.

— Jodie White and Michael Knock, Middlesex

We've just returned from our honeymoon in Egypt — which wouldn't have been possible without this wonderful service!

Thank you for making it happen.

— Holly and Kevin Stevens, Essex, on our Facebook wall

A fantastic service!! Your site was easy to use and great fun!! All of our guests commented on what a wonderful idea it was and loved reading our wedding pages!! Would very much recommend you!!

— Amy Mears and Richard Tarr, Northamptonshire

I met a lovely lady by the name of Shelley at the Earls Court wedding fair, and Buy Our Honeymoon was just what we were after. We had seen other similar ideas, however the people running the sites took a percentage of the gift, and there was something about that we didn't like! With Honeymoon Promises, we pay a management fee, and all of the guests' gifts go directly to the honeymoon fund! She has also been an absolute star in giving us some ideas while we are touring the West coast of the States! If you know anyone else getting married, I can't recommend her highly enough!

— Anita Cade, Surrey, on her wedding web site

The site is looking fab, thanks for the service you provide.

— Celia Latchman and Robert Hipgrave, Middlesex

Once again thank you so much for your help, we will not hesitate in recommending you to anyone!

— Louisa Stewart and Marvin Brewster, Hertfordshire

The list worked perfectly and we had so many compliments on it. We really appreciate your help, you couldn't have made things easier!

— Maiya and David Vandermeersch, London

Thank you for this terrific service. We will continue to recommend to our friends as you have been very helpful and have provided excellent customer service. We had a wonderful wedding and honeymoon. Thank you Buy Our Honeymoon.

— Gina Febbraro and Ajay Kapoor, Colorado, USA

I came across your web site last Wednesday while I was trying to find a way of asking our wedding guests for money towards our honeymoon, without it sounding really crass. And I found it! I am absolutely hooked. What a fantastic idea and so easy to use. I will certainly be recommending it to everyone I know!

— Stephanie Carter and Alain Grandjean, Bristol

We had (and are still having) an amazing honeymoon. This service was awesome, we loved it, our guests loved it… fantastic!

— Tim and Katrina Smith, Bristol, on our Facebook wall

Great idea and great website that's already a talking point amongst guests and our wedding day is not here yet!

— Colin Bennett and Katie Jackson, Essex

Can I say again how much we LOVE the site!!! I have already had friends asking for the address so they can pass it on, everyone loves it!!!

— Catherine Rossall and Sam Wilkinson, Cheshire

Just to let you know, I put our wedding list together yesterday and your site is excellent! Really easy to use and very well put together. I own my own design & print consultancy and we do loads of websites and brochures etc so it's always nice to come across something that meets our high standards!

— James Moore and Julie Barton, Kent

My wife and I found your website very helpful. It's well organized, looks professional, and it was a great help to us in putting together our honeymoon. Thank you for your terrific service! I would recommend this highly to anyone.

— Terry Morgan and Liz Hall, California, USA

We really loved your site and how easy it was to use. It's such a good idea and I know that lots of our guests liked being able to choose what their money went towards.

— Angela and Richard Lamacraft, Hampshire

Your service was absolutely brilliant — thank you so much. Our guests loved the concept and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to people. Well done!

— Vicky and Jeremy Rice, Cornwall

Just wanted to let you know that we got your cards and sent them out Friday! We are so excited to hear everyone's response. We set up our website, and we're very pleased with how it came out. … So far all the feedback from our friends and family is how neat of an idea the honeymoon registry is.

— Jason and Amy Lehman, Alabama, USA

My fiancée and I signed up with this service a few weeks ago. We had a lot of fun designing our list at our own pace (and with the help of quite a lot of wine!) and found this website really easy to use. It both gave us the space to create something quite personal to us (all our items are named after songs for example!) and also something classy looking and very professional. The service so far has been excellent and though we aren't sending the invites out for a while, I am chafing at the bit to send it to all our friends!

— Emma Burnell and Nik Horne, London, on the Bridalwave blog

Thanks so much for helping make this lengthy process easy for us both. It looks great, Shelley, thanks a million.

— Sally Whitworth and Steve Vernon, London

We thought your wedding site was brilliant. So many people said what a great idea it was, as we've been together a long time, we have most things we need — and what we really needed was a great honeymoon. This has been made possible with your website and we got pretty much everything we put on the site bought for us. Very simple to use. A great idea and we would certainly recommend it to brides to be.

— Wendy and Steve Halls, Devon

Thanks again for everything, you have been outstanding!

— Kerry Richardson and Ben Mainwaring, Northampton
