(Wedding: November 2012)
Dear Marius
From start to finish everything worked out perfectly and all service providers involved were fantastic. Our special day would not have been possible without you – from day one you had your finger on the pulse, and made all the arrangements and planning an absolute pleasure and lots of fun. The attention to detail and professionalism was something we could not have done without.
Marius, you started out as our wedding planner but today we call you our friend. Thank you SO SO much.

Hi Marius
From beginning to end, you were an absolute joy to work with. Totally understood what we wanted - and didn’t want - and made our dream wedding a reality. Every suggestion was well thought out and planned and the execution was top-notch. On the day before the wedding when we had a minor mishap when the flight Alex’s sister - the hair and make-up stylist - was on from Germany was cancelled, you were fantastic - just one call to Marius and it was done: five minutes after hanging up, a call back to say, “Don’t worry, we have some someone on standby.” Wow!
On the wedding day you were always there - with a raised eyebrow to signal you needed to talk, and ever keeping an eye on the timings and staff. Totally under control and organised. You created an atmosphere of calm and allowed us to relax and enjoy the day. And the day after, all we needed to hear from you was, “Don’t worry, the bills are all ok”. And that was good enough for us; we couldn’t have asked - or got - more from you.
Thanks, Marius. And sorry about the disco balls…
Regards

To the best wedding planner I know!
Marius - Stevie and I have just arrived in Mexico from Cuba & we finally have proper Wi-Fi which I am so thrilled about because we have been dying to email you to say THANK YOU for the incredible wedding you planned and carried out for us.
We are completely blown away by how incredibly & beautifully everything (and I mean literally everything) was done. From the gorgeous wedding bedouin tent, perfect white aisle, brilliant musicians, stunning pre-drinks area (what a gorgeous plan B it turned out to be!!), brilliant Oyster Kings (which our guests raved about!!), to the EX-QUISITE tent.. Where to start with that! The tent literally took our breaths away.. The draping, bar, flowers and chandeliers were beyond beautiful and the tables looked sensational.. Wow!
So many guests came up to me and said it was the closest thing to a fairyland wedding they could imagine and that the tent looked out of this world.. I couldn't agree more. Steve and I have not stopped reliving every moment & every detail with such love & happiness.
You are so incredibly talented & put the whole thing together better & more beautifully than we could have ever wished for. From the bottom of our hearts - thank you. It was the wedding of our dreams and undoubtably the happiest and most special day of our lives.
It was such a pleasure working with you - it was joyful & easy from day one! Thank you for putting up with my random hour Skype calls from Honkers & my millions of emails. How worth it each one of them was!
We will raise our margaritas and toast to you tonight!
With lots of love and many many thanks from Cabo
Katie & Steve aka The New Mr & Mrs Hawinkels!

(Wedding: February 2012)
Marius,
Where do I even start, what do I say. Maybe the word PERFECT or even PERFECTION. Everything we imagined, all we wished for, our dreams came true. Thank you for co coordinating a master piece. From our first meeting in April 2011, you instilled a calm in Juanita, she was confident in you from the beginning. Knowing what she wanted but not being able to paint a picture for you, you listened without missing a thing and set out to work in the most efficient professional manner allowing your creative spirit to kick in. Most would call you an artist. I would rather like to call you an artistic engineer. Rather a strange way to describe a person I know but I find artists have flare which you no doubt have however it is your attention to detail which is more that of an engineer. The detail is what makes the whole event that much more amazing. People are still talking almost two months down the line.
I found you to be honourable, upfront and straight, qualities that are of most importance to me. Everything you committed to you delivered on. This is something one does not come across in business these days. Your work ethic is outstanding, the service providers that you recommend and utilised for our wedding were as superb as you had promised and the quality of the end product was sight to behold. I could spend days going over all the details and the attention you paid to achieving an ultimate finished product.
Marius, thank you for helping Juanita and I to create the most memorable day of our lives, we are very grateful to you for all your help guidance and effort. We would do it again in a heartbeat and we would not change a thing. We have all the confidence in you as a person, your ability as a coordinator and your efficient professional conduct. We would refer you to friends, family colleagues and even strangers in the blink of an eye, you are truly amazing at what you do. Thank you for adding the personal touch and for being there for us from the 1st day right up until the end. They way you oversaw everything personally still amazes me.
We wish you all the best and know that you will make many many many people very happy with your natural ability and exceptional skill especially all the lucky brides who have you at their side on their special day. Think we will have to meet for a coffee at Il de pain on our next visit to Knysna for a catch up and to show you some photos.
Yours sincerely

(Wedding: November 2011)
Hi Marius,
So nice to hear from you! I’m sorry, you must think us terribly tardy but please forgive us – our wedding was simply the most spectacular day and we owe a lot of that to you.
Sadly we’ve experienced the loss of my mum since our wedding but I do know that she was absolutely over the moon with every little detail – she wouldn’t have wished for anything more. Well, perhaps no wind so I could have worn the veil!
Our photos are simply stunning but of course they did throw up lots of new emotions but I think I’m ready to share, mum would have wanted us to. They are so beautiful!
I will try to send through some nice clips and a slightly fuller picture wedding day story for you to share in your blog over the weekend.
Thanks for keeping in touch and chat soon

Dear Marius,
We can’t thank you enough for the most wonderful wedding you organised for us. Your absolute precise attention to detail was very much appreciated by us and did not go unnoticed by our guests.
We couldn’t have wished for a more successful day. I know the elements were against us but in the end I think it made the day even more magical and enjoyable.
Please thank all the suppliers who worked with you and Forest Hall for going the extra mile and making Claire and Jono’s day the best day of their lives – I truly mean that from the bottom of my heart. We have had so many compliments and guests saying that this was the best wedding they have ever been to.
I wish I had a few more daughters that we could do it all again and again. What fun. I wouldn’t want to change anything, not even the weather!!
Thank you again for all your hard work in making it a very happy and memorable day for us all.
Fondest love

Hi Marius,
We cannot possibly thank you enough for the most amazing day that we experienced. Truly there is not a single thing that we would have changed – each and every detail exceeded our expectations! Cannot possibly imagine having tried to organise all of that without you. The whole day was an absolute success thanks to you.
Kind regards

Dear Marius and your entire team,
Words cannot express our gratitude. Thank you so much for coordinating such a spectacular event. My husband and I are so appreciative to you and your entire team for managing such an immense event for us and for making sure that our special day was indeed extraordinary and unique.
Beyond a shadow of a doubt our wedding was the best, many of our guests posted on Facebook that this was the “Wedding of the Century”. From the beautiful decorations to the delicious menu it was obvious to all who attended that you put great time and effort into making our wedding experience a big success.
We want to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful experience, as well as for all of the time and effort that you routinely put into organizing our special day. We appreciate all of the work you do and for making our event a spectacular one.
Both our families were overwhelmed with joy and happiness when they met you and seen the hard work that was put on in making our special day a success. My mom still talks about you and your gentle mannerism all the time!!
Thank you for the small and long chats that we used to have, Thank you for the thousand emails, Thank you for putting us at ease , Thank you for being calm as always, Thank you for your hard work, Thank you for the long hours you’ve put on in making sure that this was a success, Thank you for the advise you’ve given us at all times, Thank you for the long meetings we had, Thank you for being patient, Thank you for caring, Thank you for understanding.
Thank you for being there always when we needed you the most, we appreciate you; continue with the good work that you do.
Here’s to a long relationship, unfortunately you’re now part of our family and we’re all very happy and excited to have you onboard.
We love you M and dankie vir alles.

The man behind the scenes, Marius of Weddings by Marius. The man with the huge smile and extraordinary personality. From the first day we met you, you were so much more than a wedding planner and coordinator, you also became our good friend.
No-one has ever dared to say that getting married is a piece of cake but, with you as coordinator, our fairytale wedding transformed effortlessly into reality. Marius, thank you so much for everything you did for us. Thank you for all the innovative ideas and recommendations, your support and approachability, and for the most beautiful wedding we could ever have dreamed possible.
You are a people person and your respect and professionalism puts you head and shoulders above the rest, a person who can turn any bridal couple’s dream into reality. Your and your team’s service is exceptional Marius, and we honestly felt like royalty before, during and after the wedding.
Thank you once again for EVERYTHING!! Our wedding day was more than WOW!
Greetings
