Sandy & Brian's Wedding 17th June '09 Feedback




When we booked our Wedding in Tamisa is was one of the easiest decisions we had ever made, The hotel was gorgeous. It gives the choice of a replica “home” wedding or an outdoor banquet, both with a Spanish twist.

The staff couldn’t be more helpful, John the owner is very hands on and Joanne the hotel Manager had great organizational skills. Ewelyn ,Luchy, Curro, aswell as the restaurant and bar-staff made us and our guests feel so welcome.

We made one trip over in January to see the hotel and surrounding area and to also meet DJ, photographer etc my first impression was that the hotel did actually look as it does on the website, so no nasty surprises where the picture could have been take 30 years prior to you arriving! It is very welcoming and there is an unexplainable ambiance to the hotel, just sitting in the bar or patios looking at the vast golf course is so relaxing. So needless to say after our initial visit we couldn’t wait to tell our friends and family how good the wedding would be, and then countdown started!

As I didn’t have a wedding planner the staff at the hotel where extremely helpful and organized the wedding car and buses for the church and airport, as my Spanish language is fairly limited to ordering food and drink! Any questions that I had where always answered without delay, and I never felt like a nagging bride!

The Florist was recommended by the hotel and when I met Shona in January there was never any doubt in my mind, she would be doing my flowers. She is so warm and chatty and has a great nack for creating a floral masterpiece from what little vague description she is given! So do heed the recommendations that the hotel give and make an informed decision about who you use.

Our wedding was a semi traditional, laid back affair, and we chose to have the outdoor banquet. The tables and chairs where dressed, and the centre pieces where gorgeous. The columns also had flowers wrapped from head to foot. We could not fault the day, the staff did everything they could to make our day thoroughly enjoyable ,and it was very well co-ordinated. The food was well presented and tasted lovely, special diets where catered for and everyone was comfortably full by the end of the meal.

There was drinking and dancing into the early hours until guests retired in an attempt to “save” themselves for the BBQ the following day.

Our guests still talk about out DJ, who was very familiar with the hotel as he has done previous weddings,his name is Ian Preston. You will find plenty of entertaining uploads from him on Youtube! he had something for everyone, from looking after the speeches and timing, to entertaining the kids with a funny skit to knowing what music to play so that the guests that just wont sit down! A friend of mine said the only complaint she had was that he didn’t play and bad music to give her a chance to sit down! our photographer was Shaun@weddingsbyshaun.com(http://www.weddingsbyshaun.com/)and If you are looking for something a bit different then hes definitely your man. We got some great photos in the hotel aswell as in La Cala after the church.

All of our guests had a lovely stay at Tamisa and would definitely agree that the staff had a big hand in making our day very special. I can definitely see myself and my new Husband returning to celebrate future anniversaries.
