Testimonials

November 11, 2011 - "I have helped plan corporate functions and company parties for several years alongside excellent event planners. I’m also a Web and Graphic Designer and photographer. My other half is way into music and is a spreadsheet wizard. Our wedding planning could have been a snap on our own here in the Philadelphia area, but when we decided to host our celebration on our favorite island of Aruba, we needed a professional. From day one Bonny put us at ease. She was relentless in finding the perfect intimate venue for our ceremony and reception. She was key in executing the vision we had not only for the look and feel with the venue including flowers and decor, but the atmosphere for our guests ensuring that everything was top notch from the delicious food to the great service. You could see her personal touch across it all. For me to have been floating carefree in the sea hours before the celebration without a worry in the world, I have to hand it to her. We were able to enjoy the day so much more thanks to her not to mention revisit it in such detail with the amazing photos provided by Tania. We recommend Bonny Stanley without reservation to anyone wishing to tie the knot on Aruba. Responsive, attentive, detail-oriented, insightful and marvelous — that is Bonny! Our guests are still telling us how much fun they had. Our expectations were blown away. We have endless gratitude for her daughter Nathalie, Tania our photographer, John the reverend, our DJ and the folks at Aruba Surfside Marina! Looking forward to renewing our vows in 10 years with her."

July 30, 2011 - "Bonny executed our wedding vision perfectly! Her attention to detail is immaculate providing a personal touch to everything she does and making very helpful suggestions. Meeting Bonny was like being with a close friend, she really tries to make your wedding the best event possible. She is so welcoming and makes you feel comfortable immediately. She is fun and as excited as you about your event. On our special day the ceremony decoration was so beautiful it took my breath away as I walked down the aisle. All the vendors she chose (Tania for photography, Max the guitarist, and the live band) were professional, friendly and provided an excellent service. We are forever grateful to Bonny for making our wedding dreams come true. If you are looking to be married in Aruba there is no one better to plan the wedding of your dreams!!! "

July 08, 2011 - "Our wedding in Aruba was picture perfect. Thanks to Bonny I never had to worry about a thing. After our consultation 2 days before the wedding my mind was put at ease. I knew that all I had to do on our wedding day was show up. Bonny took care of everything, and it was exactly how I have always pictured it. She went out of her way to take care of every detail. She even organized a spa day for the day of the wedding for 14 girls, with the best hair and make up on the island. I can\'t thank her and her staff enough for making our day perfect. Without hesitation, I would recommend Bonny to anyone planning a destination wedding in Aruba. Thanks Again!"

Stephanie & Michael

July 04, 2011 - "My partner and I worked with Bonny for over a year before our wedding, which took place on July 4, 2011. Both the ceremony and reception exceeded our expectations. It was exactly what we had wanted, and more. For weeks after the wedding, our family and friends continued to rave about it, and they have even labeled it “BWE” (Best Wedding Ever)! Bonny is a professional who is personable, responsive, and extremely attentive. She was a pleasure to work with. Bonny went over every detail of the wedding ceremony and reception with us, and she was always well-organized and prepared. She truly cared about what we envisioned our day to be, and she worked to make it happen. We highly recommend Bonny Stanley to anyone looking to get married in Aruba. It will be an experience that will last a lifetime. Thanks again Bonny, we can’t express how special and memorable that day was for us. We wish we could do it again!"

Mark & Vinny

June 03, 2011 - "You know, you always think things will turn out perfect, that all the million details for a beach wedding will somehow come together. Sometimes that just doesn't happen. Sometimes everything about a beach wedding goes wrong. Oh, I'm not talking about us. Ours was BETTER than perfect. I meant other people. :) Bonny, you gave us an unforgetable wedding. Carole and I will never forget your many kindnesses."

Carole & Earl Kennedy

May 29, 2011 - "Bonny;
Shawn and I cannot thank you enough for planning such a wonderful wedding. I admit I was a little nervous about planning a wedding from so far away. The wedding was so romantic. The minster's words were so thoughtful and I cannot say enough good things about our photographer Tania. Our pictures are absolutely amazing; our family cannot even believe how beautiful they are. You planned every detail perfectly and responded immediately to all my questions. Our sincerest thanks for making our special day perfect! "

Jessica & Shawn Laverty

April 25, 2011 - "Bonny;
I can't thank you enough for setting up our renewal vows ceremony. From just a few simple questions you asked online, you managed to set up the perfect ceremony. You delivered everything you promised and more. The Rev. John Joseph was amazing. The pictures, while beautiful, did not do justice to how perfect the whole ceremony was. Your attention to detail with the aisle and flowers was fantastic. There was not one thing I would have changed. I enthusiastically recommend Weddings by Bonny to anyone who wants to have a perfect ceremony on the beach in Aruba. Thank you again Frank A. "

Diane and Frank

April 25, 2011 - "Hi Bonny! Sorry we haven't gotten back to you sooner but it took awhile to get back to reality. Bonny I cannot express to you how beautiful our renewals were. Even though I was quite surprised, Frank and yourself did such a wonderful job. It really was just perfect-the flowers,the Reverend,the pictures,the music-fabulous.I will never forget this experience and cannot thank you enough for making our day sooo special. It truly was wonderful."

While in Aruba we saw several other weddings that didn\'t even compare to what you put together for us. You made us feel so special and very well taken care of. We felt that you were able to make our day very intimate and unique by incorporating our personalities into the ceremony. We cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work and thoughtfulness! "

Chris and Rachel Young

From the first time I found your website I felt something, something that made me think this is the right person for us. With many questions, you came with answers, put my mind at ease and I knew it. Even before meeting you, I could feel your warm heart and honest nature. It’s really true that you give each and every bride the wedding of their dreams, as if it was your own family. You are such a special and wonderful person. I feel so grateful to have found you, you have changed my life. You enabled me to become Mrs. David Rubio on the most beautiful beach in paradise. I can only tell you that all of your hard work and effort really paid off and you have given us beautiful memories to last a lifetime. Everything you do is with sincere love and desire to please.

November 13th, 2010 - "We just want to say a very very special thanks to Bonny for a perfect wedding! Your coordination made many difficult decisions very easy. You were quick to respond to all questions and very flexible at the last minute when I made changes. Also, I wanted to give a special thanks to the people who worked on the day of our wedding. The setup was beautiful and everything was well organized. Not because this was my wedding, but, this wedding was the best wedding I have ever seen :). Orson had the whole party dancing and was a pleasure to work with, he really knows good music and knew the type of music everyone was enjoying. Tania was an incredible photographer, she was so organized and was patient with our families as they tried to take pictures. The pictures are beautiful and we'll cherish them forever. Could not have done it without you. Thank You so much Bonny for such a wonderful day, YOU’RE THE BEST!"

November 9th, 2010 - "My husband and i recently celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary by renewing our vows on the beach at sunset in magnificent Aruba..I contacted Bonnie by e-mail from my home in Eldersburg, Maryland and left it in Bonnie's hands from there, and she did not disappoint us. I requested special music, which she provided, along with a beautiful ceremony on a lovely spot on the beach. We couldn't have been more pleased! Bonnie knows how to make a couple feel very special and she is a very sweet, knowledgable wedding planner.We hope to walk across that beach and repeat our vows once again in another 25 years!( With Bonnie's help, of course)."

In the beginning I debated about needing a wedding coordinator, and I have to honestly say that it was one of the best moves I ever made. The wedding was beautiful and I didn't have to worry about a thing: all of your planning and organization made my special day go smoothly. The wedding site, flowers, and photographer were perfect and I couldn't have asked for anymore more beautiful. Thank you!!"

Rebecca & Peter

Nov 07, 2009 - Hello Bonny,

I just wanted to again, Thank You for making our Aruba Wedding a truly amazing experience. There is no question that without working with you, it would not have been nearly as beautiful, or as smoothly executed. You really showed us what customer service is all about and we could not ask for anything more. We had the chance to witness some other weddings while we were in Aruba and nothing compared, especially our ceremony, to what you had put together for us. Not only are you a true professional, but you are a great person. We really enjoyed our time getting to know you as well and hope that you and your family have a happy and prosperous future.

We are already looking at planning our anniversary trip back to Aruba and hope we have the chance to meet up again. Or should you visit the NYC area again, please let us know, we would love to get together for dinner or even golf! Should there be anything else that we could do, please do not hesitate to ask. I have already boasted about your services to our travel agents and asked that they look at referring their customers to you in the future. Elise and I would also be more than happy to be a reference for you as well as help you with building your business. Being that both Elise and I work in marketing as well as Design, websites, Public relations and social media, should you have any questions or be looking for recommendations, we would be happy to help you.

I will also start posting the images we have collected from our friends from the wedding and will send you the photos from our photographers when we receive them.

Thank you again, and we look forward to seeing you again soon. Have a great trip to NY and Las Vegas.

Paola Croes Garcia

Oct 07, 2009 - Hi Bonny ! Was also a pleasure for us to meet you! You're a very nice person and we wanna thank you for what you did for us. Pictures are very nice and we'll keep this beautiful day in mind for ever. See you next time in your happy island or maybe in France. You never know!

Julien & Sabrina

June 18, 2009 - What a beautiful wedding you put together for us. We were delighted at how pretty everything was and how splendidly everything came together. I am the worrier in the family (Megan goes with the flow) and I guess I needn't have worried so much with you at the helm. We can't wait to see the pictures. I'm sure you had something to do with the parting of the clouds at just the right time and ordering just the perfect colors of the sunset that night! Thank you a million times for all your hard work and the special attention and details you gave Megan and Cory to make their day such a memorable one.

Carla Klinger (mother of the Bride)

June 18, 2009 - Words can never express to Bonny my gratitude and thankfulness for her kind and attentive service in planning our wedding on June 18th, 2009. From the very first email consultation to the meeting after we all recuperated, her wedding expertise, amazing wisdom and overall service far exceeded anything we could every imagine.

We truly believe that if it wasn't Bonny and her creativity, ingenuity, purpose for perfection and her kind, gentle heart and spirit, our wedding wouldn't have been as beautiful as it was.

Bonny designed the elegant archways and set the stage with the spectacular "sand and heart flowered aisle". Bonny took my ideas and visions and made them into a reality. She kept in close contact with me sharing her expertise and email pictures and videos for me to preview ideas for the ceremony.

Bonny's contacts on the island were spectacular. She was even able to upgrade our room for us with one swift phone call!! Every vendor she contracted for the ceremony was absolutely perfect. The minister delivered a well spoken and heart felt ceremony, the photographer was patient and creative, and even her own family helped in anyway possible. Our wedding pictures can only provide small insight to exactly how wonderful and special that day is to us. Our wedding is forever etched into my memory as the most beautiful and romantic setting imaginable.

Organizing a wedding strictly through email wasn't easy, but her communication and attention to detail were exceptional. We really appreciated all of her advice, ideas, flexibility and patience, but most importantly take away from the whole experience her friendship.

Your Friends, Megan and Cory Conrad

June 07, 2009 - Bonny, Thank you so much for your services and making Monica & Duane's "wedding Day" So Special.

Carolyn Bellamy (mother of the Groom)

Jan 15, 2009 - We got married in Aruba on the beach at sunset. We worked with Bonny Stanley, the wedding coordinator who was originally at the hotel we were staying at. She was wonderful to work with, she was very prompt in getting back to us while we worked out all the details for our wedding. Sadly Bonny left the hotel prior to our wedding date, however she always remained professional and helpful with anything we had questions on.

All the Vendors she organized and chose for us, the Florist, the Reverend, the Photographer, the spa and the steel drum band, were perfect. We say if Bonny suggests it go with it she knows these vendors and venues and has chosen some of the best in our opinion. Our wedding was so far from home and we thought it might be difficult however she made planning a destination wedding stress free for us.

Even though Bonny wasn't at the resort anymore she still cared enough to the follow up with us after the wedding to ensure that the vendors she hired were all we had hoped for. We were so impressed with her customer service and concern over our satisfaction regarding the choices she made for us. Bonny is a true professional. It was beyond anything we could have imagined.

We don't just consider her our wedding coordinator, we consider her a friend.

Jody & Glen Crockford - Canada

Aug 16, 2008 - Dear Bonny & Tania, I would just like to start off by saying thank you both for the happiest and most amazing day of my life. Bonny, I honestly don't think that I can thank you enough for everything that you have done, from helping me plan the most amazing memorable day. To making sure that me and all my guest were all happy and enjoyed our vacation/ honeymoon. Not only did you help me and my husband plan the biggest day of our life's, but you truly captured the day that I have been dreaming about since I was a little girl. you made all those dreams a reality, down to every last detail and idea that I described to you over the phone or through e-mail. You truly are a wonderful person.

Tania, you really captured everything the day of the wedding, the pictures came out unbelievable. You really have a eye for true beauty. Everyone I show my pictures to think that I went to a studio and had a backdrop, that's how amazing they are. You really took time and effort to make sure you captured each moment and I truly thank you for that.

Thank you so much for everything!

Diane & James De Paolo

August, 2008 - "Bonny Stanley arranged our weddings last year, August 2008. It was absolutely perfect in every way, couldn't have wished for anything more. She was excellent and had every fine detail organized. We got married at the occidental grand Aruba on the beach and had our reception on the terrace of the restaurant. Bonny was there all through the ceremony and right up to the reception to make sure everything ran smoothly. I emailed her hundreds of questions for months prior to the wedding and she always replayed promptly, I am sure I must have drove her insane but it never showed. I am so glad to have met Bonny, she made our dreams come true. "

We got married on the beach at sunset and the reception was also held on the beach. Bonny Stanley was our wedding coordinator. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very prompt in getting back to us while we worked out all the details. On the day of the wedding she made sure everything was taken care of. Everyone had a blast. I would highly recommend her to coordinate your destination wedding. Once again, thank you Bonny for working tirelessly to ensure our day was extra special you truly made our dream come true.

May 9, 2008 - Hi Bonnie, just a quick note to let you know what a great time we all had at Danielle's wedding. The Anderson's, Todd, Danielle, Ron and I had no idea what to expect. It had to be the most beautiful wedding we've ever been to. All of our friends and relatives raved about how great it was. We will recommend you to everyone. Again all our thanks.

Ron and Gail Gates

April 26, 08 - From the very first day we contacted Bonny we knew she was the one person who would help us ensure that we had a fabulous wedding day. She showed genuine care for our dream wedding. When planning a wedding from so far away (NJ), you need to have absolute trust that the person will have a clear picture of what you want, and Bonny gave us the confidence that she would go above and beyond.

From the initial wedding day preparations, and every detail in between, Bonny was professional. She was right there answering every email and concern with promptness. Bonny made us feel as though we were her top priority. She helped Joseph and I stay calm during our wedding planning process.

Bonny showed her experience and knowledge through her recommendations on photographer, hair stylist, florist, and minister. All of the professionals she recommended showed the similar enthusiasm of helping us reach our dream.

Bonny is an amazing planner. On the day of the wedding she was on site from early in the morning, ensuring the canopy went up correctly, to very late at night so we could end with pictures in the pool. Bonny loves what she does and it shines in everything she touches. We feel we have made a lifelong friend in Aruba.

April 16, 2008 - After 25 years of marriage, we wanted to renew our vows in Aruba. We corresponded with Bonny for a few months before our arrival in Aruba. I let her know our wishes, and she coordinated everything for us. The experience was one of the most meaningful, beautiful times of our lives. Every detail, from the bouquet she had custom made for me to the sand on the beach being cleared and combed, to the timing of the actual vows being spoken at Sunset was impeccable. Our Officiant John spoke words to us that will remain in our hearts forever. Our photographer Tania, made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, we shed many "happy" tears that her lens caught beautifully. Bonny was there for every detail, right down to witnessing our Marriage Vow Renewal Certificate. I must admit I was nervous, but I felt as if I had a sister tending to me through the entire ceremony. I cannot express how much gratitude we have for Bonny and how she made our beautiful vow renewal so perfect. I would highly recommend Bonny to anyone considering a wedding or vow renewal in Aruba. She has left an indelible, wonderful mark on our lives.

Cathy & Thomas

Feb 29, 2008 - Bonny, Thank you so much for everything. It was so beautiful and far exceeded our expectations. It was very nice to not have to worry about anything and know that the biggest days in our new lives was in your hands.

Thank Dushi!

Mike & Jenna

Jan 3, 08 - Bonny helped to coordinate our 10-year anniversary vow renewal and she was wonderful! Bonny took care of all the details (from the reverend, to the florist, to the photographer) and because of her attention to details we had a wonderful ceremony that we'll always remember.

Cindy & Stephen Willis

Dec 5, 07 - We are from Canada and were so worried that we would have a problem getting married in Beautiful Aruba. From the moment I met Bonny Stanley, I knew it would be perfect. Bonny was nice enough to help with every aspect of the wedding and planning. Right from start to finish. It was like having a maid of honor in Aruba making arrangements for us. Our wedding was perfect. Bonny had planned it so well right from Paperwork, flowers, hair, make- up, Photography to the ceremony at sunset. Not one aspect was even remotely displeasing. Bonny produced exactly as promised and some. I can't even begin to explain how breathtakingly perfect our wedding was thanks to Bonny. Thank you so much Bonny for making our day a fairy tale come true.

Lisa & Douglas (CAN)

Dec 1, 2007 - Dear Bonny, Thank you for all you have done and your patience to make our destination wedding wonderful. We would not have had it any other way. Our family and friends really enjoyed themselves. We had a blast.

Denise & Jeff Panek

Nov 15, 2007 - Bonny, I can't thank you enough for coordinating our beautiful wedding! We couldn't believe how perfect it was from start to finish. We (and all our guests) continue to talk about how amazing it was. The next day all our guests were asking me what went wrong since usually there is at least one thing that doesn't go right that only the bride knows about and not the guests. And I loved being able to say " absolutely nothing"! It was perfect, even more perfect than either of us imagined. Thank you again for making our wedding absolutely perfect.

Best Regards,

Andrea O'Connor

Nov 13, 2007 - Hi Bonny, Thank you for coordinating the wedding. Everything was beyond our expectations. The upgrade was wonderful. We are very thankful for all your hard work and attention to detail.

Thank you,

Kelly Turner

Nov 10, 2007 - Hi Bonny, Gabe and I returned safely to NJ last night and are still in awe at how much fun we had while in Aruba. The wedding was more beautiful than we could have imagined- it was truly spectacular! All of our guests continue to rave and rave about the night. Please extend my thanks to the reverend, the DJ (everyone loved the music!!), the servers, the florist (the flowers were just stunning!!) and anyone else who helped make the night so beautiful. Thanks so much also to you and to Tania for making sure things ran so smoothly!!

Bonny, thank you again. These memories will last forever!

Best,

Laura (Gavilanes!!)

Oct 26, 07 - 'We knew we were getting married in Aruba. What we didn't know was that our original plan, that it would be just the two of us, on Palm Beach, with a Aruban Reverend, was going to change drastically. First my stepson Tony volunteered to be my Best Man, and Stephanie, good friend of the family, volunteered to be Kathy's Brides Maid. Next, to our astonishment, my parents (NOT Island people) asked to join us, and Kathy's Boss Kristi, who had been to Aruba before with her, asked to be there as well. We then found out that Kathy's CEO was already going to be on the Island with her husband, who volunteered to do the photography. What we now needed was a wedding co-ordinator, someone who could help us catch the serenity of the island in a simple spiritual ceremony, and thus, into our lives came Bonny Stanley. How did it work out? Well if a picture is worth a thousand words, here's a few to go by. We'll leave it to say, we started with a wedding co-ordinator, and left with a life long friend.' We love you Bonny.

Keith & Kathy

Oct 23, 2007 - Dear Bonny, Thank you for coordinating such a wonderful wedding for us in Aruba. At first, I was hesitant to make wedding arrangements so far away from home as you never know what your in for. But with your expertise, great persona, and being on top of it all... I had nothing to worry about. I know you will have great success in what you do. We could not have asked for a better time... I will never forget that day.

Everything was perfect.

Sincerely,

Lisa & Joey

Oct 19, 2007 - Hello Bonny, Sorry it took me so long to respond. I've been busy. I attached a few photos. Ok maybe a lot of photos. I love so many of them I didn't know what ones to choose.

October 12, 2007 - Hello Bonny, Wanted to say thank you so much for everything you did. It really was a beautiful wedding. We watched the video with some of our family that could not make the trip and they loved it. Our parents cried again too when they watched it, as we did. You are very good at what you do and it shows. Everyone commented to me how great you were and of course we agreed. Thank you so much. It was hard to get on that plane and leave Aruba. We had such an amazing time & an even more amazing wedding! We received the documents and pictures today. The pictures are so beautiful!!! Tania you did an amazing job!! Thank you so much!! We really couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding. You both are so great!!! Thanks so much!!!

Oct 6, 2007 - Hey Bonny, Sorry it took me a few days to get back to you. First of all I just want to thank you for the beautiful job you did with our wedding! We had no idea what anything was going to look like and what you did went way beyond what we hoped for - so thank you!! I sent you the whole wedding album the photographer gave us. I downloaded it onto the Kodak website and it's a lot fast for me to send the whole album at once it that way. I hope you doing well - we wish we where still down there. We had a blast! Thank you again for everything,

Sep 19, 2007 - Choosing to get married in Aruba was the most precious decision that we have had to make in our lives. Bonny Stanley kindly took all of the stresses and strains out of preparing a marriage abroad and we can honestly say that our wedding day was the most perfect day of our lives. Bonny always went beyond her call of duty even down to re-assuring us of the weather! We would like to say a 'massive' thank you to Bonny for organizing the most perfect venue, along with reverend and of course photographer. If I had to do it all again, then I would not change a single thing. Thanks Bonny!"

Yours Sincerely - Jack Kawalecki father of the groom.

Sep 10, 2007 - Bonny, Thank you again for EVERYTHING!!!!! We all had a wonderful time and you did a terrific job! Per Doug and Donna's request can I get Reverend Warlaw's address? They want to send him a book on cancer that Doug and Donna wrote. Let me know.... thanks again and it really was a pleasure working with you! Now that I am done, I don't know what to do with myself?

Take care,

Aug 26, 2007 - On behalf of our 80 wedding guests, Kenny and I would like to thank you for the GREAT job you did in planning and executing "A Picture Perfect Wedding". Your expertise and exquisite taste made this day very special for us. Everyone on your team was very professional and friendly. Not only was this a special day for us, but you and your team made our stay in Aruba an Excellent experience. The wedding ceremony was officiated by John Wardlaw and his personal touch to the ceremony was truly amazing. If ever planning an event in Aruba I recommend Tania Cunha for photography and Yado for videography. They were very professional and were able to capture magnificent shots. We enjoyed that day so much, that all 82 of us are planning to return in 2010 for a group visit. Once again, thanks Bonny for a job well done.

Mr. & Dr. McKinley Battle, Washington, DC.

Jun 16, 2007 - I am a travel agent and booked my nieces wedding at a resort in Aruba. I have to say I have seen many weddings " But Bonny Stanley the wedding planner did Such a Great Job" everything was beautiful.

Jun 7, 2007 - Bonny arranged the most beautiful and memorable wedding I could have asked for with absolutely no stress. We had 35 guests who still talk about our wedding after almost 2 years! The wedding was so beautiful that every single guest couldn't help but cry and even strangers on the beach (trying to sneak a peak) were crying! Everything was planned perfectly, from flowers, to food, to photography, and even to creating an entire back-up plan for unplanned rain! My husband and I always wish to do the entire night over again...we couldn't have dreamed of a more perfect wedding.

May, 30, 2007 - "We decided on a destination wedding as we didn't want all the headaches associated with typical weddings and we wanted a no hassle l and stress free experience. After hunting around we chose Aruba due to the certainly of the climate, the travel time from Toronto, and the facilities available at the hotel that we chose. The facilities included a wedding coordinator which was Bonny.

When you are arranging a wedding abroad you place 100% confidence in the people that are arranging it for you. Having never seen the venue, or the facilities you are completely reliant on someone interpreting what you are looking for, understanding your point of view and making sure they deliver on the promises which are made. We had several communications with Bonny before getting to the resort and she gave me confidence that the wedding would be handled well, and we are "particular" clients.

Upon arriving at the resort we met with Bonny and she basically took it from there. I didn't have to do anything other than show up... which was great and exactly what we wanted. I trusted that her recommendations and promises would be delivered and they were precisely.

Having now started her own Company, she will need satisfied clients recommending her to others. I would wholeheartedly recommend her and the services that she offers. She made our experience, stress free and it went off without a hitch. Bonny is also a very lovely person, someone whom I felt an instant connection with and trusted, easy to relate to and understanding in a no nonsense type of way, what needs to be done.

Julie and Rob Toronto

May 19th, 2007 - My husband and I were married in Aruba in May of 2007. We had always loved Aruba. We had gotten engaged there and thought that it would be the perfect place for a Destination Wedding. Fortunately for us, we had 70 guests join us for our Aruban Wedding. Bonny was our Wedding Coordinator and we cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is sweet, professional and extremely organized. She was instrumental in not only planning our beautiful beach wedding and reception, but assisted us with our group snorkeling trip, our rehearsal dinner, our Aruban Civil wedding ceremony, our photography, our flowers, our wedding cake, our hair, make-up, spa treatments, etc..... The list could go on and on. We would recommend Bonny to any of our loved ones/friends who were thinking about planning a Destination Wedding. Aruba is a great place to get married and Bonny is the person you want to make it happen with romance, beauty, taste and class. Thanks Bonny!!!

Tracey & Todd Young (USA)

Mar 27, 2007 - We were married in Aruba on March 27. It was beautiful and the coordinator Bonny Stanley was an absolute godsend. She took care of every possible need we could have had. The people from the hotel, reverend, photographer, were unbelievable. By the end of the evening my husband and I felt like royalty. Here in the states to plan a wedding and have people do their jobs perfectly in assisting rarely happens. Bonny and her staff took care of everything for much less money and much more care and competence. We will always cherish this beautiful day and forever thank Bonny and her staff for being the reason it went off without any problems.

Mar 17, 2007 - My fiancé and I were married on St. Patrick's day. Bonny Stanley arranged everything for us. Bonny and I emailed back and forth and she was wonderful to deal with, she took extra special care of us during our stay. Tania Cunha was our photographer and was great when I forgot the cab fare when we got married. I just couldn't remember to bring everything. She did all the pictures that we wanted to do for our wedding and a few that I didn't think of.
