Reviews for A Beautiful Wedding
GUEST




They did the most fabulous job to make me wedding ceremony unique and memorable. The whole setup was very picture-perfect and guest-friendly at the same time. The flowers were very lovely and matched my motiff. Excellent sound system. The best part for me was the Sand Ceremony, which I thought was both unique and very profound. They took all the hassles and worries of arranging a wedding ceremony from me and made my bride very happy. I am very impressed. I would highly recommend their services.

Ren made my wedding day a dream come true!I live in the Bay Area and my husband and I celebrated our first year dating anniversary in Coronado. We knew that having a beach wedding in Coronado was our dream. Ren made it all reality from our first point of contact via email and her follow up calls, she was truly heaven sent. The setting was amazing and everything down to the last detail was perfect. Our guests commented on how beautiful and perfect everything was and we truly impressed. We heard by everyone that it was the most beautiful wedding that they have ever attended. I would highly recommend "A beautiful wedding" by Renata Daversa to anyone. Thanks again RenLove E&B 2011

Getting married out of town is nerve-racking. When I found Renate and she said "just complete the questionnares and just show up. I will take care of the rest.", she really meant it! I cannot tell you what a weight lifter she was and how wonderful it was to work with her. My wedding was PERFECT in every sense and I couldn't have done it without her! In addition, the photographer that we chose from her list was AMAZING. My best friends were jealous because we got too many great photos. My wedding album is x 2!Lots of Wishes!G.Garcia

Our wedding ceremony turned out beautifully! I must admit, we were a bit worried since we did not meet Ren until the wedding day and did not know exactly what to expect, but no worries, brides, they know what theyre doing! She always quickly responds to any questions you may have. From the location, to the set-up, to my bouquet and hubbys bout, everything exceeded our expectations! Ren's voice is so soothing that they used it as voice over for our same-day edit video! (you can check out the video at http://vimeo.com/28914286 to hear her and see their work!) We recommend abeautifulwedding.us to everyone!

Ren was so helpful through out our destination wedding planning. We were looking for a one stop stress free way to get married that was not going to break the bank account. We got everything we needed through Ren and had a beautiful ceremony on Coronado Beach. Thank you Ren for making our say extra special! And my flowers were gorgeous!
GUEST




Everything was wonderful and so very easy to work with. I was very worried planning a wedding from out of state but Ren made it so easy and it was very beautiful and just the way we wanted it. We were married on Coronado beach during August and she still made our ceremony a private affair for us! I would recommed her to anyone.Thanks Ren!
GUEST




They provide a large assortment of options. They will allow you to customize everything. The whole experience was fantastic. Its almost better if you give them an idea of how you want it done, then they will customize the experience for you. They are very relaxed, and friendly. We had the best wedding and felt nothing but comfortable the whole time. They are the BEST!!!
GUEST




Ren was so helpful. We originally had our wedding scheduled in July but changed to June 18, 2011 with only a weeks notice Ren pulled everything together for me. She was so caring and sweet about all of our needs. Ray and I would recommend her for your special day.
GUEST




Words cannot describe what a beautiful ceremony Ren helped us to have! She was very flexible, extremely nice and very accommodating. Anytime I emailed her to ask for information, she always went above and beyond to assist me including providing suggestions for our honeymoon, which was in San Diego, and an awesome photographer! On the day of our wedding on Central Beach in Coronado, Ren was super excited! She was bubbly and so ready to make sure everything was perfect for us. I will never forget her dedication and commitment to making sure everything was flawless, and it was a ceremony that we would forever reflect back on and smile. Ren, you are GREAT at what you do!! Thanks for everything!
GUEST




Our wedding on 03/26/11 was the most beautiful, easy experience of my life. After having to change the wedding venue 3 weeks prior, I contacted Renate to inquire about her services. I was so pleased to hear that her company was 'one-stop-shop' for all our wedding needs from the chairs to the flowers to the wedding vows and everything in between. Since we live outside San Diego, I had to really rely on her to be my coordinator through this whole process, and she was GREAT!I emailed Ren almost every day for awhile as I was still a bit rattled from all the change prior to contacting her, and she was always very quick to respond and usually within the same day. She was extremely helpful with suggestions on things where I needed them, and helped us secure the location for the wedding as well. The day of the ceremony, Ren was calm and happy, getting the wedding party organized and making sure that I didn't have to worry about a thing. The delivery of the vows was beautiful and she even honored a request to give mention in the vows to my father in law who passed away. Everyone who attended our ceremony said that it was the best they had been to in years and that everyone seemed calm and happy. Thanks to Ren!I would recommend using Ren for your event. You will receive excellent attention to detail and a fun, upbeat officiant who really is on the ball!

Renate performed our marriage in centennial park, Coronado. Everything was absolutely flawless! I hired Ren about 6 months before our wedding date. She was extremely easy to work with. Not only did she officiate our wedding, she provide the following with set-up and removal: chairs, bamboo arch(with decorations), asle runner, rose petals, bridal bouquet, MOH bouquet, sound systems, guitarist, and photographer. My favorites were the bouquets, and the venders she recommended(which I will review separately). She also emailed us a selection of vows to choose from, unless we wanted to write our own. She is extremely flexible. My guests commented on how beautiful the ceremony was, and everything Ren said. I would not change a thing about the wedding! You will not regret working with Ren!
GUEST




Renate was a dream come true for our simple, Southern California wedding. She handled flowers, officiation, music, chairs, sound system for our simple beach ceremony in August in Coronado near San Diego. We booked her back in February because her schedule fills up fast and I am so glad we did! She made it a stress-free experience and our guests had a great time. I highly recommend her.
GUEST




Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Ren assisted my husband & me in having the most beautiful wedding anyone could ever ask for. We planned the entire thing in less than three months and with Ren's help, you would have thought we were planning it for years. She had great hints and aids for picking our vows and readings. I don't know how you put a price on the individual that legally binds you to the person that you are going to spend the rest of your life with, but I'd say she's pretty priceless. My husband & I were both extremely satisfied with her knowledge and assistance. If you are looking for someone that isn't so judgemental and you want a special wedding that isn't like everyone elses, Ren can help you make that happen.
GUEST




She was wonderful! She performed the wedding extremely professionally and smoothly. Everyone at my wedding commented about how great she was. Her other services are delightful as well - her bouquets are gorgeous!! She always replies to emails/phone calls right away, and she is always nice and pleasant to talk with. She really enjoys what she does, and it shows with everything she does for you. I already recommended her to all my friends getting married - she is wonderful!
GUEST




Renate was outstanding, always very responsive to answer questions, provide suggestions for ceremony location and content. Her website is also great for help with creating your own personalized ceremony. Very professional, we received the exact ceremony that we wanted! Thanks Ren, for making our day perfect!
GUEST




I was very happy to have found "A Beautiful Wedding". Everything was exactly the way Renata and I had talked about it. I would recommed this service for a wedding of any size.
GUEST




Renate officiated our ceremony in June and it was great. She's very pleasant and you can tell that she is committed to making your wedding as great as possible.
GUEST




Ren made my wedding day beautiful! She treated me like I was special and listened to all of my needs. I would recommend her to everyone! The bouquets for myself and my bridesmaids were gorgeous!
GUEST




A beautiful wedding is great. We look back and wouldnt change a thing about our special day. It was so memorable. Again Ren at A Beautiful Wedding is wonderful
GUEST




Rev. Daversa was a very professional woman and her website was so easy to use to create the ceremony that was just right for us. Her voice was very lovely, she was very sincere, and happy. She looks great in our pictures too. For an extra fee she also supplied a great sound system. The only things are that she doesn't do rehearsals (which may or may not be a big deal for you) and she also skipped over the readings that were supposed to happen and neither of us were in the mind to remember that. It worked out fine because we just did the readings before the meal, like a blessing. Anyway, that could've partly been fault too because I didn't make sure to call her and verify everything the week before the wedding. I still recommend her highly.
Vendor response to review
I would like to first and foremost thank the couple for a wonderful review. However, no readings or poems were ever submitted to me for inclusion in the ceremony script, so nothing was skipped over during the ceremony. I always stick to the ceremony script and never vary from what we have agreed upon. Warmest regards, Renate
GUEST




We hired Rev. Grant Daversa for our non-denominational ceremony. He was very accomodating to our preferences. We wanted a tea ceremony, which he was very willing for us to include. He helped us with our ceremony/vows wordings and the ceremony order. All of this documentation was sent to us one week before our wedding. We changed a wording here and there, but he was happy to incorporated in! Not only that! He arrived on-time, which allowed us to have our beautiful ceremony during sun set!
GUEST




Ren made it extremely easy and stress-free to book my destination wedding in Coronado Beach! All over e-mail and only two phone calls. I couldn't be happier with the services I received!
GUEST




Rev Renate is very nice and professional and made our ceremony special. She was very flexible and allowed us to customize our ceremony. The only thing I would say is she has done so many weddings I think she forgets you only do this once and you don't know what is going on. If you are a planner who likes to know details she will work with you but you have to ask. She doesn't do rehearsal so we were a little lost as to what to tell everyone and how to run the ceremony reherasal. That said she did a wonderful job and lead us through the ceremony without any issues and helped to make our day special. Overall I would recommend her she was super nice and everything went smooth.
GUEST




Ren was wonderful. She made us both feel very comfortable. She was early the day of to set up and said the ceremony beautifully. I would recommend Ren to anyone!
GUEST




she did a great job..a little pricey but worth the service she provided!
GUEST




A complete Nitemare!!! Renata cancelled 5 hours prior to our wedding. We called to confirm the details once we checked in to the hotel and she claimed to not have a baby sitter for her children. We gave 6 weeks notice and sent her a deposit of 150 dollars for which she claimed not to have recieved during the phone conversation, but upon checking it was determined that the money order was cashed. Do yourself a favor and use someone else. Just imagine the stress of this situation, we spoke to her on the phone atleast 4 times prior to our event, and she was very pleasent but when she cancelled on our wedding day she was acted very cold and indifferent. The day was saved by the staff at Hotel Del Corrando, they had a list of 20 people and not to my surprise "A Beautiful Wedding " was not on the list, nor have they ever worked with the resort. We have a great day despite Renata. Do not trust the details of this special day with a " A Beautiful Wedding"!!!!!!!
Vendor response to review
I am sorry that were not able to be of service for your wedding. We make every effort to provide the utmost in professional service and have served hundreds of wonderful and very satisfied couples. Your wedding date was held for 7 days, which is our policy and outlined clearly in our formal confirmation, but unfortunately, we never did receive a deposit or signed contract to officially reserve the date and time. No check was ever received or cashed by our company. Perhaps you have us confused with another company.
Hi Ren,
I wanted to express you our deepest appreciation for your invaluable assistance with our wedding ceremony this past week. Your exemplary professionalism and extraordinary patience before and after the ceremony helped to make a rather 'do-it-yourself' event, a great success. Everything turned out perfect and beyond our imagination!
Thanks again for everything!
Very Best Wishes,
Nick and Isabel
