Steven and Larissa DUDLEY

Dear Alex and Bettina,
We are writing today to sincerely thankyou for your efforts as our reception venue. There are many things I can say that will explain why, but if we listed everything, this letter would be endless. The night went smoothly and without a hiccup. The food your staff prepared was far more than what we were expecting, and the way they conducted themselves professionally, is to be very highly commended. Your friendly approach to all our enquiries was explained well and without a hassle. You forever had a cheerful response and in which being a wedding, we needed the guidance from an experienced person to direct us in the right direction, which you demonstrated every step of the way. Throughout every step of the journey, other couples will appreciate the amount of help that you offered us. As people need guidance and confidence in what decision they will make, I feel that they should need proof of the quality of service that you offer, please feel free to use this letter as a referral to enhance their confidence in you.

Leigh and Casey HANSON

I would like to thankyou on behalf of my husband John and myself as well as my other two sons Alex and Dale for the excellent service and for a very smoothly run reception last Saturday 23/03/04 for my son Leigh and his new wife Casey.

Dear Bettina and Staff
Our sincere thanks to you and your staff at Boulevard Gardens for the wonderful finale to our special day. All our guests were most impressed with the service, food and the ambience of the reception lounge. We too couldn't have asked for anything better - the room looked so elegant and classy on our arrival. Bettina, your personal assistance right through the planning period of our special day made the job of organising the reception so easy and stress free. Also, your personal overseeing of the staff and catering on the wedding day was noted and appreciated too. We were most impressed with the special catering requirements we asked for, which were produced on time and to the right people.
All in all our day never had one hitch, (except ours), and the sun shone at the right time for our photographs to be taken. We were truly blessed in all regards

We're going well and loving married life. We hope you are also all continuing well, and the many celebrations and popularity of Boulevard Gardens continues.
Thanks so much for you help and contribution to our wedding day! We had such a lovely time and every aspect was as we'd hoped. Thanks also for your great help to my mother, who really did most of the hard work for me - she's wonderful! And was also thrilled with the reception, so that's extra great. There's one that we really like taken in your beautiful gardens.
Thanks again, and we hope things continue really well for you at Boulevard Gardens

Aga and Anthony GRIFFITHS

Dear Bettina and Alex
We had a very enjoyable evening at Boulevard Gardens with everything going very smooth and professional. Thank you Bettina for rectifying the cake problem and making it look more like it should have, and the communication before and after the reception
Everyone we spoke to commented on several things (including ourselves). The food, how delicious all courses were and the fact that everyone had had sufficient. The service, how professional, un-intrusive and especially how the wait people used the guests names. And not forgetting the room and setting, everything looked fantastic. You have a product to be proud of. Once again thankyou for your kind and thorough service. We enjoyed our wedding day very much and will cherish the memories for years to come.

Adrian and Marlene THOMAS

Dear Bettina,
How are you? We’ve been married now for over 3 months and we are loving it. We had prepared this CD for you but we’ve been real slow in getting it to you, we apologise for that. We have been to two weddings since ours and, neither of those places were as beautiful as yours. Thank you again for a Wonderful Day, and please enjoy the CD.

Debbie and Carl PETERSON
Extract from, Q-Brides Magazines April, 01.

After shopping around for months for the perfect reception venue, the couple visited the Walter Taylor Room at Boulevard Gardens and Debbie says, “I knew I had found the place! It was ideal for what we had in mind. They have beautiful, well established gardens, courtyards, fountains, statues and two lovely function rooms.” Many guests complimented both the food and the service but we reserve the highest praise for Alex and Bettina, they were complete professionals; patient and gracious and always willing to work with what we wanted to do. Everyone repeatedly said how lovely a wedding it was “It was what dreams are made of!”

George and Leigh IBRAHIM

Dear Alex and Berttina,
George and I would like to thankyou for the excellent service from your staff,

can be placed on such a priceless and special day. God Bless.
