Very accommodating and beautiful

These houses were amazing and in the perfect location. Modern House was my favorite, the view and pool were incredible. My guests and I have decided we have to go back to visit every year now.
We had a 90 person wedding reception there and they accommodated us all on their deck. It was a little crowded but we had fun!

Mid March Wedding Week

Absolutely Perfect!!! My middle daughter’s wedding could not have been better. The setting at Squires estate in Governors Harbor allowed for each family and assorted guest to each have their own home on the single grounds of Squires estate capturing a very personal old world appeal in the idyllic surroundings of the Caribbean. The Russell House served as the perfect central gathering home for family and friends the days before the wedding, the poolside dinner reception, and post wedding relaxation as the celebration continued. Mish, Boy meets Girl Weddings, based in Eleuthra handled all the details to include fabulous welcome luncheon, wedding reception dinner and day after dinner for all. She also helped arrange for the photographer and the band – no detail too small or big! Patrick’s Squires Estates and Mish’s wedding planning and execution made this wedding a genuine relaxing celebration and vacation for all. We will be back!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
