    Amazing Wedding Planner!!

    I can't say enough about our wedding planner Kathleen! From start to finish, she was beyond helpful, organized and absolutely delightful to work with. With a destination wedding, you're putting all of your faith into someone to take care of all of the planning and execution of the big event. And she delivered! She truly brought my entire wedding vision to life. Every single thing about the day was perfect. I got to enjoy the wedding planning and day-of event worry free! I would recommend Kathleen and her team to anyone looking for a memorable wedding!

    Amazing experience with Kathleen

    I can’t recommend Kathleen at Bermuda Event Solutions enough. She was amazing. We had our wedding at The Reefs and had to book everything without seeing it, as we were coming from overseas. Kathleen guided us every step of the way, even helping with little things like booking a rehearsal dinner. She was always responsive and flexible. As we got close to the wedding I feel like I emailed her 3 times a day but she was always happy to help. And on our wedding day she was INCREDIBLE, taking care of every detail so we could just relax and enjoy the day. Thank you Kathleen!

    The Absolute Best!!!

    There aren’t enough complimentary words for Bermuda Event Solutions and specifically Emily Boden! From our very first call, her expertise was critical in helping us navigate the destination wedding planning process. Emily’s local contacts, can-do attitude, and excellent communication make her the perfect planning partner-in-crime. When COVID uncertainty arose and ultimately forced us to postpone our wedding a full year, she made the whole process much more bearable and less stressful. We really couldn’t have done it without you, Emily, thank you for helping us plan and execute the Bermuda wedding of our dreams!!

    Kathleen (and team) are the best - Choose no one else!!

    Kathleen is just amazing!! My fiancé and I had this crazy idea to get married in Bermuda and within about 6 weeks Kathleen made our perfect day happen. She was super responsive, answered all of my questions, offered advice and just made everything easy. We arrived in Bermuda a couple of days early to really soak everything in and enjoy the experience and that's when I spoke to Kathleen for the very first time. She planned every detail by email and never missed a beat. I emailed her a picture of the flowers I wanted, and viola that's what I got!!

    On the morning of our big day, I called Kathleen and said "Ahhhhh there's rain in the forecast!!"... She calmly gave me all options and we decided to change our date the morning of the wedding! Kathleen went out of her way to rearrange everything... yes, everything on the morning of my wedding day!! She hired new vendors and set everything up while I sat on the beach sipping a cocktail without a single worry because I knew I could trust her. The vendors she selected were so amazing as well (hair, make-up, minister, photographer, videographer) - everyone was super friendly, professional and just wonderful.

    Our (rescheduled) wedding day could not have been better! I wish I could go back and do it all again because every detail of the day was perfection. Kathleen even held my veil so I could get a perfect picture - who else would do that! Kathleen and her team can't be beat and my memories of Bermuda are so special. I appreciate every little detail!!

    Kathleen was amazing - she recommended excellent vendors, was super organized, and fun to work with! I can't imaging having planned our destination wedding in Bermuda without her help. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to be able to truly enjoy their wedding planning process and wedding experience!

    Excellent service from Emily

    My experience with Emily was fantastic from start to finish. She made me feel comfortable immediately despite planning from across the ocean. She was quick to answer all of my questions, and was a saint on the day-of to ensure that everything ran smoothly. Thank you to Emily for making my wedding a dream come true!

    A Destination Bride's Best Friend

    I cannot thank Kathleen Dodwell and her team at The Reefs in Bermuda enough for the easiest and most enjoyable wedding planning process ever! I am newly married, as of October 6th, 2018 and had the pleasure of working with Kathleen while planning my wedding from New Jersey for a little over a year. Upon speaking with Kathleen over the phone during our first interview my fiance and I knew that she was the right choice for us. We are a very busy couple and wanted someone to "hold our hand" throughout the process and Kathleen did that and more. She contacted us when we needed to make decisions and helped us select the absolute best vendors so research was minimal on our end. Kathleen's tireless work ethic and attention to detail shined through on our wedding day/weekend. It is one thing for the bride and groom to think that they had the best wedding ever but for all of your family and friends to make the same remark means that it truly was THE BEST DAY EVER! I would recommend Kathleen and Bermuda Event Solutions to any and every bride and groom who is looking to get married in Bermuda because she is the "Gold Standard" when it comes to communication, professionalism, attention to detail and knowledge of craft.

    Thank you Kathleen for not only meeting, but truly exceeding, our expectations for our big day!!

    Emily Boden of Bermuda Event Solutions is the absolute BEST! Her help and expertise was invaluable in arranging the most beautiful wedding I could have dreamed of for my daughter and son-in-law. It was truly perfect and my guest raved about how incredible it was! Emily is awesome and her vendors are the best!!!

    Kathleen Dodwell at Bermuda Event Solutions was the best! From our first chat on the phone back in November 2016 we knew we had to work with Kathleen in planning our destination wedding. Our June 2018 wedding at Coral Beach Club was everything we could have imagined and more. Kathleen made planning from NYC easy, after talking on the phone and getting an idea of our overall vibe, guest list size, and budget she narrowed down our venue options to 3 for our January 2017 planning visit. After selecting Coral Beach as our venue Kathleen was able to coordinate EVERYTHING else with our vendors- band, flowers, transportation, photography, makeup, etc. We loved all the vendors she selected for us and couldn’t have been happier. I loved working with Kathleen because I felt like I could be as involved (the menu) or uninvolved (table top settings) in decision making as I was comfortable - After meeting twice I knew she “got us” and totally trusted her choices and input. We also never felt any pressure around budgeting, there was no up-selling or awkwardness around our choices.

    Kathleen helped us with everything from planning our family rehearsal dinner, buying supplies for our welcome bags, to even giving us a ride to our catamaran in her own car when our taxis were MIA!

    Our wedding day was seamless, we and our parents truly got to enjoy the wedding as guests- there was no scrambling to make any last minute changes or talking with vendors, Kathleen handled everything. Our guests (all 110 of them) kept saying it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they had ever been to! We are so happy with our wedding and would recommend Kathleen to everyone!

    Emily Boden is a consummate professional. She is a master event planner and knows Bermuda inside and out along with all the key players necessary to orchestrate any type of gathering. Emily is low keyed, easy to work with, fun and basically a wonderful person. I hope I will get the opportunity to work with her again. MP Summit, NJ

    Emily was instrumental in making our day run as smooth as possible. The weather looked like it was going to rain all day, so she was not only setting up one thing but also in communication with the next venue to potentially change our original plan in case the rain started. She had to make game time decisions and they were all spot on. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding planner and coordinator. Thank you Emily for making this the best day of our lives!

    Thank you so much Erin, it was a pleasure to be part of the journey and so pleased I could take some of the stress out of the decision making on the day!

    Kathleen was absolutely amazing. My family and I are so thankful that we were able to work with her to plan my husband and I's dream destination wedding. From the very first email she made us feel right at home and assured us everything would be taken care of. She went out of her way to make sure every detail was taken care of, from the marriage license to ceremony rehearsal, to our unique food requests (a pizza bar!), to even making sure the table linens were crease free! Her organization was top notch, we never felt overwhelmed or confused. She recommended great vendors and handled all of the communication so that everything tied together. Kathleen truly went above and beyond to make our special day unforgettable. My husband and I highly recommend working with Kathleen to plan the wedding of your dreams!

    My husband and I recently had our wedding at the Reefs. It was a gorgeous venue and we could not have been happier. Emily Boden (Bermuda Event Solutions) was our wedding planner. She was extremely easy to work with and was there for us every step of the way. She made the planning process easy and stress free. It was everything we could have imagined and more. I would highly recommend Emily for any wedding or other special event! Our pictures also came out beautiful thanks to Gavin Howarth at Howarth Photography. They were absolutely stunning! What a perfect day!

    Our wedding was a dream! We had it at the Reefs and worked with Emily Boden. Emily was fantastic and made everything so easy. She was so accommodating. Her laid back demeanor put us all at ease. Everything came together perfectly. The Reefs was the most beautiful setting. Our pictures were outstanding. Joseph Marables was our photographer and he was incredible. The value was great. We cruised there on the Norwegian Dawn from Boston. If we had to do the wedding over we would do everything the same. We are so happy! I highly recommend working with Emily!

    Great overall service & communication. They managed any and all hiccups and notified me after the fact (which was OK because I didn't know of the hiccup), when they had already worked out a solution, in one scenario that greatly benefited me.

    Kathleen from Bermuda Event Solutions planned our wedding at The Reefs. We choose to get married in Bermuda because we wanted a small (27 people) stress free wedding. Kathleen was absolutely amazing and managed to make the entire planning process completely stress free! I had never been to Bermuda before but I felt completely comfortable having Kathleen plan everything for us. I sent her several pictures for inspiration and she choose the minister, flowers (Flowers by Gimi), musicians, transportation, everything! Everything was better than we could have imagine. Kathleen was so easy to work with and was full of great ideas and suggestions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get married in Bermuda.

    Kathleen at Bermuda Event Solutions made all of our wedding dreams come true! Our first meeting with her was also our first time in Bermuda. We were planning to view multiple venues during our stay but instantly fell in love with the idea of having our special day at The Reefs. It was exactly what we had envisioned for an intimate group of 25. From the setting to the amazing staff and the flexibility to make all of the details of our day exactly what we had imagined, it was perfect!

    The planning process was very simple. She would send us the options, we would choose and she would take it from there. That was it.

    On the day of, she was there to make sure everything went according to plan. It was because of her that we had no bumps in the road. Because it was the beginning of the season, we were able to have our reception at Coconuts with complete privacy. After dinner, she arranged an area on the beach for us surrounded by tiki torches. The venue, photographer, Pastor, violist, steel pan, food/beverages and even weather were all better than we could've imagined going in.

    Kathleen gave us a completely stress-free and magical wedding experience, from start to finish. I will always recommend her and The Reefs to anyone I know thinking about getting married in Bermuda.

    We met Kathleen when we visited Bermuda to look at wedding venues. We loved her and hired her immediately. From start to finish, she was absolutely amazing. She listened to everything we wanted, was incredibly responsive during the planning process, and found us the most wonderful vendors. On the day of the wedding, rain was threatening. She kept us calm, quickly switched some plans, and the result was a perfect day. Every single one of our 95 guests commented that it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Hiring Kathleen was the best decision we made.

    I do not even know where to start! My husband and I decided a year ago that we wanted to get married in Bermuda. The marriage process in Bermuda seemed easy, especially living in the US. I shopped around for wedding planners online and was pleased to find Bermuda Event Solutions. I spoke to Emily Boden who was great every step of the way over the past few months via email and phone. She made it EASY, no stress wedding??? Is that even possible??? YES. It was. I sent her images of ideas of what I wanted and she made them all come to life.

    I didn't do a trial run, never been to Bermuda, had no idea what to expect really but the entire day was magical.
    Emily actually had a prior vacation planned so she explained to me early on that she would still love to plan my wedding but she would have someone else fill on on the actual wedding day. Christina( who was just as sweet and amazing and made the entire day smooth)
    I called Christina the moment I arrived in Bermuda and she had everything all set and ready to go for me down to the hair and makeup appointments, flowers, transportation, music, ceremony, and even cocktail party. She was fantastic. We got married on the beach at Stonehole Bay (where Emily recommended, and had a breathtaking view and cocktail party at Casos Point) It was a hot day and Christina and her boyfriend were there the entire time making sure everyone was okay and happy. My pictures turned out amazing. All 32 guests are still telling me how perfect my wedding way. I would recommend them to anyone planning their wedding in Bermuda. Simply amazing. 10

    Thank you Jennifer - I enjoyed the planning process and was only sorry not to be there on the day to share it with you!

    I worked with Emily Boden of Bermuda Event Solutions, for approximately 7 months, to plan my destination wedding. I can't begin to describe how perfect it all was. Emily was wonderful. She made planning my Bermuda wedding, from Massachusetts, so easy. She took care of everything according to my specifications and understood exactly what I was looking for.

    The Reefs was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Days later, my guests are still raving about the dinner at Coconuts. The officiant, photographer and violinist that Emily set up were wonderful and the cake and flowers were exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, Emily couldn't be there the night of the wedding but she made sure Christina was there to make sure everything went off without a hitch.

    I can't say enough about our experience to do it justice. Thank you for everything. It really was just perfect in every way.

    Bermuda Events Solutions was top of the line. Kathleen was responsive and always had our vision in mind when making recommendations. She thought of things we hadn't thought of in advance and was on top of so many details all at once. We were blown away by every single one of our vendors (Gavin Howarth Photography, Flowers by Gimi, The Reefs Resort as a venue, DJ All Star for music, Moongate Productions for videography) and she clearly has a good relationship with all of them from previous events. She was calm and organized and our day was absolutely perfect, large part due to her. We would recommend Bermuda Event Solutions and all of these vendors to anyone looking to get married in Bermuda.
