Testimonials and Reviews
We believe we offer the most flexible and best value honeymoon registry service on the market. But don't just take our word for it — here's what some of our customers have told us...
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.
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.
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.

With bespoke packages and a research service, guests can really get a taste of what they are setting you up for whether it's a day of jetskiing or a sunset cruise. There isn't a service charge and guests can offer you gifts via PayPal, cheque or in person.

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, UK
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, UK
We are very pleased with the changes you've made and the pictures give the list a nice finishing touch. You've got our personalities down to a tee, we especially love Harrison's Cave, and Harbour Lights is very funny.
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!
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, UK
We think you've already done a fantastic job on the list! The pictures and text are looking great.
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, UK
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.

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, UK
The site is looking fab, thanks for the service you provide.
I think your website is great. I'm also in the wedding business, and I'm going to tell all my brides about this!
— Adel Kotze and Hugh Frames, Oxfordshire, UK
Instead of just registering for household goods, why not register where your honeymoon will be and have people help you with the little added things like parasailing?
— Sean P. Aune, 30+ Online Tools for the Perfect Wedding, Mashable, March 2008
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, UK
Just had a quick glance and it looks fab ... I have been recommending the website to everyone I know who's getting married and they all absolutely love it!
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, UK
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, UK
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
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, UK
Honeymoons can be expensive, so why not create a registry for it? I think it's a great idea especially for those hard-to-buy-for couples who already have everything or for couples who are heading into their second marriage.

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, UK
Once again thank you so much for your help, we will not hesitate in recommending you to anyone!
— Louisa Stewart and Marvin Brewster, Hertfordshire, UK
The list worked perfectly and we had so many compliments on it. We really appreciate your help, you couldn't have made things easier!
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, UK
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, UK
The thing that struck me about Buy our Honeymoon was its simplicity and value for money … I think it's a fabulous idea. It is a fun way for guests to contribute and a practical and very flexible way for the couple to collect a financial contribution for what is one of the most expensive parts of a wedding.

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
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, UK, on the Bridalwave blog
Thanks so much for helping make this lengthy process easy for us both. It looks great, Shelley, thanks a million.
Thanks again for everything, you have been outstanding!
— Kerry Richardson and Ben Mainwaring, Northampton, UK
