    Bermuda Wedding

    My fiancé and I were planning to take a cruise to Bermuda at the end of June to get married on the beach. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our cruise and our wedding, but we can not express enough how GREAT the Rose by Sharon staff had been at helping up plan for our special day. They were quick to respond, friendly and willing to do whatever to help us plan our wedding, especially since we live in NY. Even though we never got to see the final product, I can guarantee that it would have been perfect!

    My dream wedding came true!

    I couldn't believe the amount of effort Claire-Anne put into my wedding ceremony. She took all of the stress away and made sure I stayed calm during the process. She handled every little detail with professionalism. She is so sweet and will make your dream wedding come true because she simply loves what she does. Her team of vendors are equally amazing! They worked so hard and I couldn't thank them enough. My family had so much fun at my wedding ceremony.

    Beyond Incredible

    This was possibly the best experience we have ever had with a vendor and seeing as it was for our wedding day, that made it even better. They went above and beyond, were open to new ideas and perfectly managed the multiple personalities that featured in our wedding planning process. The quality of service was impeccable across the board. Do not hesitate to utilize their services. You won't regret it.

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    Words cannot express how grateful we are for your review, your words are very humbling. It was a pleasure to serve you and your family.

    Excellent destination wedding planner

    I had a wonderful experience with Rose of Sharon for my destination wedding in Bermuda. Claire-Anne, led an exceptional team to create my dream wedding. From the very beginning, Claire-Anne suggested different ideas and helped me envision what I wanted. I was nervous being in the US and not seeing anything beforehand, but she showed me the venue over Facetime and kept me updated with all the details. Claire-Anne was quick to answer emails and was always available for me and my mom. She helped worked with us with costs and when we told her our budget on each event, she adjusted the product and conformed it to what stayed in our limit. She addressed concerns I had and quickly offered solutions. She also booked vendors like DJ Donnie Durant, Velina Wheatley (henna), Traci (hair) and Serena (makeup) that were excellent and reliable.

    Claire-Anne and her team handled an Indian destination wedding, which has tons of details and many parts, with ease. Her attention to detail, cooperativeness, knowledge and skill helped execute a perfect wedding. Her team and Ambiance Design Studios, led by Tamisha Greene, went above and beyond with my decorations and even surprised me by matching the Chinese lanterns for one of my events with my dress colors.

    I want to thank the entire Rose of Sharon team: Claire-Anne Raynor, Veronica Douglas, Vernette Douglas, Cindy Smith, Maureen Clemendor, Monique Heyliger, and Cristin Raynor for their hard work and help during our wedding.

    I wouldn't think twice in my decision to hire Rose of Sharon again. It was worth the expense and was such a huge relief that everything was handled well long distance. Thanks again Rose of Sharon for memories that will last a lifetime!

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    Thank you very much for this wonderful review.

    Each event during your two-day celebration seemed to just get better and better. The atmosphere was beautiful. But what gave is the most satisfaction was watching how excited you were to see your vision become a reality. It was indeed our pleasure to serve you, your family, and your guests.

    We all wish you both and Avi all the very best!

    Rev. Maureen Clemendor performed our vow renewal ceremony to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. She delivered a personalized and beautiful ceremony, capturing important events in our lives and providing words of advice for the next 30 years! The ceremony included the taking of our wedding vows, delivery of our own personal vows, and the sharing of wedding rings. Maureen was authentic in her words and truly spiritual in her nature. We highly recommend her!

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    Thank you very much. It was my pleasure to work with you to reaffirm your love and commitment to each other.
    I wish you many more years of wedded bliss.
    Blessings

    We wanted a private ceremony on the beach and Rev. Maureen made it memorable.

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    Thank you for the review. It was a pleasure to perform you vow renewal and meet your wonderful family.
    Best wishes and continued happiness.

    In November 2010, after returning from a 10 day cruise throughout the beautiful Caribbean and getting engaged on the cruise ship, we came home and began discussing what beach would be the beach we begin our dream on. After tossing around several ideas, we decided to get married in Bermuda. Although I had never been there, I heard such great things and thought it would be a great place to get married. So we began searching the internet and contacting multiple wedding planners. As we received responses, we continued to ask questions specific to our dream. Some of them would not respond unless we signed a contract, others continued to send us a generic form letters, and of course there we a few that did not respond at all. This does not apply to Claire-Anne of Rose of Sharon. From the very first email Claire -Anne has been personable, prompt, attentive, and professional. Her responses to our email were exactly what we were looking for; good, open communication. I will say having never been to Bermuda and being somewhat of a control freak, I was a bit nervous about how things were going go but Claire-Anne continued to maintain an open line of communication with us which began to put me at ease. In September 2011, we sailed down to Bermuda on the exact cruise we were planning on taking for our wedding to meet with Claire-Anne. We were extremely impressed with the amount of time and attention Claire-Anne provided to us. From that point forward , Claire-Anne was just wonderful! She continued to communicate with us and did everything she could to make sure our dream wedding followed our dreams! Two and a half years ago when we began planning, we never thought Claire -Anne would be the friend and confidant she has become! Although we encountered a few minor glitches, our wedding was a most beautiful day to remember and we couldn't have chosen a better person to plan our wedding!
    Rose of Sharon truly has a gift to creating a beautiful event!

    I cannot even begin. I am the pickiest, most annoying person to work with. Maybe being a big law firm attorney on the east coast has something to do with that. I am extremly obsessive and vocal, but also did not know what I wanted. I contacted Rose and a few other planners in Bermuda as I am stateside. I found the other planners to be very pushy or unresponsive. Claire of Rose of Sharon was a godsend. She helped me search through every venue, providing me with pictures, and budget and tons of help, without even forcing me to pay up front for services. Her responsiveness, especially to a control freak like me, was amazing. Her professionalism and kindness really helped calm my frantic personality. She was wonderfully reliable and addressed every little email I shot off to her. I LOVE HER. I rarely recommend people, in fact, she is the first person I am writing a recommendation for in my entire life. That is how important my time is to me, but Claire is worth it. I cannot thank her enough. Thank you, Claire!

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    I am honored to have been able to assist you. At Rose of Sharon, we understand the need to have questions answered in a timely manner, and why we must be patient and answers as many questions as we can. Bermuda is another world... and if you don't live here it can be hard to navigate.

    Coming from Quebec, Canada, my husband and I did not even know where to begin in planning our dream wedding. We knew we wanted a cruise wedding and we knew it had to be in beautiful Bermuda, as we had received nothing but marvelous comments about this dream-like island in the middle of the Atlantic.
    We stumbled across Rose of Sharon on the internet and were skeptical to begin with, however after the many hours of telephone conversations as well as back and forth e-mails, we were convinced that Claire-Anne would stop at nothing to make sure that our day would be extra special.
    Now that we are settled back at home and have had the occasion of watching our ceremony over and over, as well as flip through pictures of the day that now seems like a dream, we can only think of one person who made this day EXACTLY what we wanted: Claire-Anne. Our wedding will be the one referred to in the upcoming years as our friends and family members take turns getting married and pray for the same magic that you helped us experience on that special day.
    If we could re-do the entire thing, I would not have changed a thing… OK, maybe hurricane force winds, but even the sun came out as we said our vows on what was supposed to be a windy and rain-soaked day.
    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your professionalism as well as your whole-hearted passion for making our day perfect.

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    WOW! What an amazing day.. storm clouds one minute.. and bright sun shine after you say I DO.. a blessing in it's self. Thank you Katie your words are much appreciated

    Having never been to Bermuda prior to my sons wedding, I relied on Rose of Sharon & Claire Ann Raynor (event planner) to guide me in all aspects of decision making and planning. Not only was every email I sent (and they were numerous!) answered promptly, I was also given insight on ideas/situations I hadn't thought of. When weather became a possible issue the night before the beachside (Stonehole Bay) wedding, I received a phone call from Claire Ann to assure me they had everything under control if a change of venue was needed. The next morning I received a "welcome to Bermuda" message from Claire Ann with a weather update and confirmation that the wedding would go as planned. As she promised, the weather cleared and the day was beautiful! Every detail....flowers, photography, venue, transportation, clergy were perfect. In choosing Rose of Sharon, we not only found an exceptional wedding planner, we found new friends!

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    Thank you Shelley... It was an amazing day with inspired decor that has set the trend for our weddings since that day.
    Thank you for your kind words...

    Claire met us as a wedding planner, but through the many months leading up to the day, became a friend to us both. We trusted her from the first moments we met her and she did not disappoint nor betray that trust. She assisted us the whole way and when we cut from the wedding, to meet financial goals, she did so without making us feel guilty. She skyped us frequently to update us on the arrangements and even did some "behind my spouse's back" planning to add "special" moments to the ceremony. Yes, we recommend Rose of Sharon wholeheartedly.

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    Your Light House Wedding with the Bag Pipes was amazing and we are truly thankful for your kind words. Thank you ever so much.

    Claire-Anne and the Staff at Rose of Sharon were outstanding!
    My husband and I got married on July 12, 2010 in Bermuda. When we first got engaged, my fiancé suggested getting married in Bermuda. My first thought was “OK – we are scheduled on a cruise to Bermuda from Baltimore in July and most of our family is going, so that would be really beautiful”. Then reality set in and I thought “How on earth am I going to plan a wedding some place that I have never been!”. So I did a Google search on Bermuda Weddings and ended up at the website for Rose of Sharon. After talking with Claire-Anne on the phone, I knew she was the one for the job! Her enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and responsiveness made it the easiest wedding to plan! I didn’t have any stress and everything was perfect! The transportation, the music, the flowers and especially the location! We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding and we owe it all to Claire-Anne and her staff. Thanks again for making our day so special!

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    Thank you Kim... It was truly a pleasure. Your words mean so much to us.

    Claire-Anne and the Rose of Sharon staff are first-class! My husband and I felt like we were the only bride and groom on Earth! Not only was everything from flowers to music handled professionally, but everything was beyond perfect. I really felt like Claire-Anne handled the wedding with the care of a sister.

    Awww Audrey... you are precious... yes we are like Sisters now...

    Claire Anne and her team made our dream a reality! Everything was absolutely beautiful!! Working with them is like working with your girlfriends. They're kindness and warmth made me feel at ease and stress free ( considering we have to plan a wedding in a place we've never been before)
    All my emails, phone calls and questions were promptly answered. Coco Reef had the most beautiful view and We had the most amazing time at Bone Fish for our reception. If we were to do it all over again, I would absolutely pick Rose of Sharon over and over again!

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    Thank you... your words have bought tears to my eyes.

    Attentive to our need and made our wedding vision come true!

    From the start we felt at ease. Very good communication and efficient. Shared great ideas in line to our vision for the ceremony and reception as well as helped us stay within our budget. On the day we felt everything went according to the plan and it was stress free for us. Extremely attentive from the beginning to the end. Made our vision come true and it was a beautiful day.

    Rose of Sharon's reply:

    Thank you for your review Jeshmi. You both were beautiful to work with. It was truly a pleasure to serve you and your guests.
