"We absolutely loved The Big Day and our agent Michelle. She was able to help us book a honeymoon which lead us through Tahiti, Moorea, and Bora Bora. But I’m not writing to talk about how amazing our trip was, though it was a trip of a lifetime. Instead I’d like to write about a most unexpected great joy we experienced through working with Michelle. After deciding that we wanted to visit the islands of the South Pacific I stumbled upon TheBigDay and called them up out of the blue.
|
|
|
Much to my surprise a nice person answered the phone and 10 seconds later I was talking to Michelle who had personal expertise and travel experience in this part of the world. Just 30 minutes after our pleasant 10 minute conversation I had received 4 travel quotes pertaining to my desired location via email! And on top of that, the prices were 40-50% lower than what the same trip would cost us without using the agency. I knew right away that I found something special.
After that Michelle seemed more than happy to help me tweak things over the course of about a dozen communications. And I must confess that I had not had much travel experience (I've been as far as 1 hour out of my time zone!) so she also spent hours coaching me on virtually countless specifics involved with the trip. During this planning we were online setting up our honeymoon registry and selected the "live chat with an expert" feature and got Michael, one of the co-founders of the company! He even stayed on for over an hour helping us with our website and travel particulars. We were just blown away. Everything was perfect! We had the whole trip finally set up, we were booked from L.A. to the islands and back to L.A., which was no small task as this portion of the trip involved 5 flights. So it was our job to get ourselves out to L.A. and back.
You probably guessed it, 2 days after I made the final booking arrangements I get a call from Michelle and she says, "You didn’t book your other flight yet did you?" Our connecting flight from L.A. out apparently was canceled and the airline transferred us to another flight that was 10 hours earlier, it was logistically the worst thing that could have happened. Now the reason I have listed these tedious and unentertaining details of our travel planning woes is this, even after spending so much time working with me, Michelle redoubled her efforts and spent about another dozen hours over a week helping me untangle this mess. Keep in mind that by this point not only had TheBigDay already been paid in full for our trip but this new problem was completely outside of their booking and not their fault. It'd be like getting a flat tire on the way to the airport.
We were just so amazed by this entire course of events. If we had been working with any other agency we probably would have been considered the most annoying, time consuming clients their list could produce. But instead of feeling like a thorn in someone's side we feel like we have gained close friends through all this. We just can't say enough about Michelle and TheBigDay so that is why we just thought it best to list the things we went through and let you form your own opinions. We give this agency the highest possible rating and recommend them as strongly as we possibly can. We feel that the trip you plan is of your own making but getting to your destination and back with the most ease, cost efficiency, and the security of constant, knowledgeable support is what TheBigDay can offer.
Thanks Michelle, we love you and look very much forward to traveling under your umbrella again!"

"Dear Patti,
Our honeymoon you helped us plan to Jamaica was simply awesome. A few steps off the private back patio was the light sandy beach, the hammock and the winding path we loved to take walks on through all the incredible trees and foliage. We best touch was the people - they're just so cool and easy going. "yea mon" and "no problem" are they say and smile at you all the time. We called Wayne your taxi driver friend and he was a hoot, super friendly, taking us the whole day to YS falls, the Black River, a city center, and even a Burger King - we bought him
|
lunch there for something like $600 (Jamaican dollars)!... we saw so many things and learned how these people live. The golf course was very nice and almost completely to ourselves. We went para sailing, tried ALL the restaurants - why wouldn't you on an all-inclusive, right? :) I water skied for my first time, and my wife got to refresh her skills at that. We want to go back there sometime, or to another one of the Couples Resorts.
Patti, I'm glad I chose to work with you. I did a lot of research before hand, like most guys do for honeymoons, but when I found you, I noticed you had tons of good information which gave me confidence that it would go right. It was worth every penny even if there are ways to somehow find it cheaper. It was peace of mind knowing I had a good agent."
Joanna and Raphael

"Hi Patti,
We had a wonderful time. One more day on each island would have been perfect but vacations are NEVER long enough. We hooked up with the Travel Services guy our first day on Maui and he took really good care of us, helping us to book our activities. The only "issue" we had was getting from Honolulu to Maui, had to hang out in the airport for a really long time, but I guess that's typical with the island hoppers. Not a big deal.
Loved every minute of it! Thanks for the help.

I will definitely recommend The Big Day to anyone I know planning a honeymoon and if we ever need travel services again, I'll definitely let you know."

"Hi David,
We didn't get to thank you for the wonderful planning you did for our honeymoon back in July. Everything from the time we got the air port to leaving was so well organized.
We went to Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora in July. It was the most amazing place we'd ever been to. From the minute we stepped off the plane, we felt like we were in a dream.
The hotels that you had us stay in were perfect and better than we'd ever imagine. It was so romantic and adventurous.
|
Everything that we wanted in a honeymoon was there. From the adventures, to peaceful and relaxing, to the fabulous scenery. And we were on each island for just the right amount of time. Thank you again! We'll never forget our honeymoon!"

"Patti, thank you so much for all of your continued help with our honeymoon preparations!! Jamaica was wonderful and Sandals was just as wonderful as they advertise :)
We also love the fact that you noted we were military and looked for other "perks". (The massages we received were fantastic!) Your assistance truly made it a perfect week and we will definitely be calling you again!"

"The trip that we booked through Patti at The Big Day were amazing! Being an active young couple, we were looking for "out-of-the-box" trips, and that is exactly what Patti provided for us.
We tried to find places to visit and things to do on our own (with Buenos Aires, Argentina serving as our "base camp"), but were very overwhelmed. Patti found trips that were right up our alley in Ushuaia, Argentina (where we were able to visit the "Southern-most city in the world, see Penguins at a Penguin colony, and hike in the mountains) and in
|
Iguazu Falls, Argentina (visiting a 2km-wide waterfall, one of the most spectacular in the world).
People think that I'm showing them a store-bought photo after seeing some of the pictures we took from this trip! We had an amazing time, and can't wait for our next big trip!"

"Dear Big Day,
Your site is quite frankly, DA BOMB! We had countless people telling us how cool, convenient, and well thought out it was to have an online registry. We even had married couples tell us they wished they knew about it when they were getting married, a few even offered to renew their vows just to use the site!
We looked at a few different options online and quickly came to the conclusion that there is no comparison. We honeymooned at the Regency Resort in beautiful St. Lucia, and as they say on the island thanks to The Big Day there was "no pressure no problem!"
|
We are so pleased with the site and services of The Big Day and so are several of our friends and family. If The Big Day was a movie, Ebert & Roeper would give it at least 2 thumbs up! Thanks you all for delivering an A+ product."
Karen and Cralen
Karen and Cralen went to St. Lucia.
"Dear Karin,
The day after our wedding we dashed off to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands for a fabulous, luxurious 11 day honeymoon. It was truly the time of our lives! Rumours of Romance is an exclusive and private (five unit) resort with luxurious two-bedroom and two-bathroom bungalows 12 feet from the most spectacular water we have ever seen (And we are pretty active travelers and have been to top resorts in Fiji and Hawaii).
|
|
|
Our unit had a lush tropical private pool with a wraparound deck and jacuzzi on the courtyard side and a panoramic view of the South Pacific on the ocean-facing side. It was island paradise.
After all that wedding planning all we wanted to do was nap, have massages on the open deck and try all the wonderful local restaurants, hikes, and snorkeling spots. We considered other honeymoon destinations, but we are so glad we chose the Cook Islands. We would never have considered it if our travel agent Karin at TheBigDay hadn't suggested our resort. We will be back soon!!"

"The honeymoon was great! Thank you for everything!! Having everything set up before we got there was perfect....I just kept the vouchers handy and we went with the flow!
Linda did such an amazing job...I had every spec of confidence that she would get everything done!! I will totally recommend your company to others planning a trip!! The Big Day definitely took every bit of stress out of planning the honeymoon...something we didn't

need with having to plan the wedding at the same time! We have lots of amazing pictures and it was the best trip Scott and I have been on....it was a perfect honeymoon!!!"
Stephanie and Scott
Stephanie and Scott went to Tahiti.
"For the record, it was amazing, convenient and a great idea. This is perfect for couples who do not need household items or the traditional wedding gifts. It was nice to have a travel agent assigned to us. It was everything that was promised and we felt as if we were "taken care of" by The Big Day.
I would use this type of service again and would recommend it highly to anyone who wants the opportunity of a once in a lifetime honeymoon. Kamalame Cay was incredible!"

"Hi Patti,
We had a great time! We did a 4x4 safari, had a sunset cruise and took a day trip to Moorea to feed stingrays, snorkel and swim w/ dolphins- All FANTASTIC!!! Bora Bora was just amazing!! Definitely like nothing else. The Bora Bora Lagoon resort was incredible and so was our bungalow (so glad we did that!)
We had massages, went wakeboarding and ate at Bloody Mary's. Again, FANTASTIC! Thank you so much- without TheBigDay our dream honeymoon would never have been possible!!
|
I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a once in a lifetime trip!"

"We'd like to thank Patti and the Big Day staff for helping us create our dream honeymoon! We spent 8 wonderful days on the islands of Tahiti, Moorea and Bora Bora in French Polynesia. We were a little nervous about the logistics of visiting so many islands, but Patti took care of all the details and we experienced a worry-free trip.
And since we took advantage of the Big Day's honeymoon registry service, our wedding guests
|
|

were able to purchase activities and meals for us to enjoy during our honeymoon. The only problem was that we wanted to stay longer! It was definitely the best, most amazing trip we've ever taken."

"Hi Michelle,
Steve and I wanted to thank you for arranging our honeymoon. We could not have asked for anything better. We had a wonderful time and were lucky enough to get to extend in Lanai. (We could not bear the leave the Four Seasons Manele Bay so soon).
Also, thank you for the wonderful strawberries that were sent to the room. What a wonderful and delicious surprise. Please pass our thanks and gratitude to the manager that you know at the resort.
|
|
|
We enjoyed our upgraded room and the champagne he had sent tremendously. He and his staff do an outstanding job and made us feel very special. We are spoiled (and hooked) for life. It was pure luxury and we will always remember our honeymoon with the fondest memories.
Thank you again for everything you did. Hopefully we will be able to have you assist us in our travels again, not just on our "Big Day.""

"Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Michelle!
I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful time we had. Paul said it was the best vacation he's ever taken and repeatedly said it was the best birthday gift he's ever gotten. I absolutely love Celebrity and can't wait to find another way to go again. I'm going to be watching for a Hawaii deal and then, eventually, Alaska. Paul just wanted to stay on the ship and go on the next 7 day trip. Thank you so much for all your help and if you come across a great deal on Celebrity for Hawaii, let me know. Here's a picture of the two of us on the second formal night."

"Hi David!
First of all, we would like to thank you for setting up one of the best trips we've ever taken! Everything was perfect! Our only problem is that it wasn't long enough! We spent 4 days in Kauai, 4 in Maui and 2 in Oahu.
We've recommended you to some of our friends and my friend is using TheBigDay for her wedding in December! Thank you for all you did!"

"Dear David,
I just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you for making our honeymoon unforgettable. We absolutely loved it and planned to go back in the near future. Our entire schedule went as planned except for one delay coming home at the airport. We made it to all three islands. Manihi was our favorite followed closely by Moorea. We loved Huahine too.
Our bungalows were all beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The only complaint we had was that it rained most of the time we were there, next time we will not go in May. All of the vouchers worked out great.
We even met another couple who used the Big Day in Tahiti and have become our life long friends! Just wanted to say thank you for helping to make the best honeymoon ever!"

"Kudos to the Big Day for making our honeymoon such a wonderful experience. From the first time I spoke to Michelle to the time the honeymoon was over, she was a huge help in setting up our dream vacation. The hotels that we stayed in were amazing and made for the most memorable experience of our lives. Additionally, the Big Day was great at coming up with new ideas for how to design your gift registry. From using Google Earth to sending out emails, they were right on top of how to make the most of your registry.
|
|
|
In the midst of planning our wedding, it was hard to focus on wrapping up the details of the honeymoon. However, Michelle was always right there and ready to go out of her way to answer our questions and make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you to Michelle and to The Big Day for making this whole process so easy and for making our honeymoon so memorable."

"Hello Karin!
This is our first morning back from our honeymoon. It was absolutely magical -- THANK YOU!
Having the private tour was definitely one of the highlights (the group tour at Machu Picchu wasn't that great, but we had plenty of time to go and be by ourselves).
We were also pleasantly surprised with all the accommodations, which kept getting better and better. The Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo hotel has got to be the most romantic place I've ever seen: candlelight, orchids, natural brooks, a fireplace in our suite!! It was perfect!!"

"Hi Michelle,
Patrick and I just returned from Tahiti last week and we had a blast. Thank you so much for planning out such a great trip for us! The itinerary was great and the hotels were awesome. We ended up loving Bora Bora Lagoon Resort. I have no idea what those people in the travel blogs were talking about! It turned out to be absolutely perfect. We toured the main island during one of our days in Bora Bora and we were so happy that we were not staying in the other hotels on the southern stretch where a lot of hotels are bunched together. We loved our location, the fact
|
|
|
there were no cars on our motu, the fact we could get to Vaitape quickly, and our bungalow had a beautiful view of the main island. It was fantastic. Everyone there was also super nice and accommodating and the place was low-key and laid back compared to the Intercontinental Moorea. We loved it.
We also loved Manihi and our place there was also fabulous. I think we ended up liking Manihi and Bora Bora the best. Manihi was also the perfect end to our honeymoon because by the time we got there after days filled with activities in Moorea and Bora Bora, we needed time to rest! Manihi was absolutely amazing, geographically, and we loved the resort.
We ended up doing most of the activities you recommended as well. I think our favorite by far was the lagoon and motu picnic. The shark feeding tour was also really fun. Thanks to you, we had a wonderful and very memorable honeymoon!"

"We just got back from our two weeks of paradise in New Zealand and Australia, and we have all the folks at TheBigDay.com to thank for giving us the chance to have the best honeymoon ever! All of our wedding guests were so impressed by our honeymoon registry that they were thrilled to purchase activities for us. We were able to do everything we wanted to do on our trip -- from taking an adventurous thrill ride on a jet boat through the majestic canyons of New Zealand to climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge (pictured) and being rewarded with awe-inspiring views of the majestic skyline from the top! It was an adventure we will never forget, filled with memories that will last a lifetime!"

"We just participated in what was the best experience of our lives so far---our wedding and honeymoon!
This wasn't just your typical wedding, it was a destination wedding from California to Maui! In planning a destination wedding, there are so many more factors that go into creating it above and beyond the wedding event itself. There is a vacation to plan for yourself and for your guests.
Luckily I came across Sue Slater, who helped me TREMENDOUSLY with the undertaking of this huge
|
|
|
"project." Sue created a packaged deal that left our guests able to pay in payments over several months time to make it even easier---before the package deal was in motion, we had about 15 people on board to go and once the package deal was out and it was all set and done, we ended up with 65 of our family and friends attending the event, and enjoying nearly a week of fun and unforgettable moments; one after another!
Through the engagement year, Sue helped a great deal also by calling guests to collect payments on mandatory due dates, and also setting up automatic payments with those who wanted it so that they could more efficiently budget their trips. She and her husband also helped to reserve us rental cars for the vacation! Sue helped us also to book our honeymoon, which was a big help, and a trip that was great fun! Sue and her husband both would work and stay up all hours of the night to make sure payments were made and deadlines were met, and were always eager to help in a polite and encouraging manner!
So the entire experience was a well oiled machine that had a lot of hands working to make it wonderful; but in my opinion, Sue played the biggest role by getting all of our loved ones there to share in the joy that the occasion was about---because no matter how pretty the flowers are, or how great the dj is at your wedding; if you don't have all of your loved ones there to share it with you, it just isn't the same. Our greatest gratitude for a precious experience is owed to her!"

"We wanted to thank Ed and everyone at TheBigDay for making our honeymoon such a great adventure! We knew where we wanted to go, Jungle Bay Resort & Spa in Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic).
Because it was so off the beaten tourist path, several travel agents said they couldn't book us there, but Ed and TheBigDay made it happen! And even better, we were able to have it all paid for thanks to our honeymoon registry.

The resort was amazing - cottages along coastal rainforest, with wonderful meals, daily massages, and excellent excursions included in the package. We had a great time sea kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking to beautiful waterfalls."

"Hi Karin,
Mike and I made it home from our honeymoon on Monday morning and we are just settling back down to the real world. I wanted to thank you so much for all your help and also for the very, very nice surprises that you sent to our stateroom while on the Tahitian Princess!! The strawberries were so delicious!
We had such an incredible time in French Polynesia and it was everything we hoped it would be. We really appreciate your expertise in areas like where we should stay on the cruise ship. You picked a cabin for us near the middle of the ship and, even on the roughest days, I never got sick while in the cabin.
|
However, we met some people with cabins at the back of the ship and they were taking Dramamine everyday.
Thank you for making the trip so easy and so unforgettable for us. You took care of everything and we really appreciate that! As soon as I can convince Mike that we are ready for another trip, I'll contact you again. Thank you so much!"

"Our friends and family who used the site thought it was so clever and practical...they loved being involved in making our honeymoon special and being able to give such personalized gifts to us! It was fun both at the wedding and after we returned from the honeymoon to talk to everyone about their specific gift and the experiences we had while doing that activity. More people need to be aware of this great registry! Setting up the registry also helped us spend time researching what we wanted to do on our trip and get very excited about all of our activities.

A special thank you to Aruna, for all of your great, efficient help, support and follow up. You were an absolute delight to work with on all the planning for our honeymoon. You made it easy, fun and exciting.

We were not sure if the idea would fly with our families and friends, but just as you predicted, the gifts were coming in at the last week, and we were able to relax and vacation in style. I think the website spurred the people who didn't use it, nevertheless to choose to give cash, which we got in equal amount to travel gifts.

We have too many photos to catalog, and it was all worth it! We got to stay in one of the two castles we wanted, and a very wonderful self-catering flat in Edinburgh. I've already turned some friends on to the idea of The Big Day."

We started speaking to Laura back in January, and I was definitely not her easiest sale. I kept coming back to her with different resorts and different islands, and she kept giving me more and more information. She was so patient, always as friendly as can be, and our experience was terrific! I came back months later to ask more questions about the thank you notes link which Linda responded to, and answered all of my questions. We are really looking forward to our trip, and your firm is filled with very helpful and friendly people."

"We had an awesome honeymoon and we are still amazed at how easy your site made it for us to gather funds for it! I love that I spent virtually no time at all in dealing with the registry after I created our list of honeymoon activities. And even that part was extremely easy and fun.
Your company has really set up an unbelievably simple, user-friendly system that even the most un-savvy computer person could use.
And once we finished our end of the deal (creating our fun list), we never had to lift a finger from then on! The funds rolled in, the checks were continuously sent out to us, and the honeymoon was paid for!
I can't say enough about the ease, simplicity, and efficiency of The Big Day. There can't be any simpler registry out there. Everyone should use this because it is so much more personal than asking for pots and pans. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!"

"We have an established home, so help paying for our honeymoon was what we needed and wanted. While we participated in each of the activities in our itinerary, we thought about the person who gave it to us. We included a picture of us enjoying the activity in our thank you notes, so we could show the person how much we appreciated the gift.
The website has so many great features beyond just the registry. We loved the thank you notes tracker and the free email account, which we used both for registering on bridal sites and as the RSVP email address for our post-wedding reception. We would recommend your site to anyone."

Club Maeva Tulum was a place that I had dreamed about my entire growing up life before I even knew it existed. Food was of serious gourmet quality, especially surprising when you think of the "all inclusive, buffet style" environment. I cook a lot, my family cooks a lot, we are cooking channel addicts and Emeril would have had nothing but nice things to say about the food. My wife and I could not have had a better experience."

"We just got back from our honeymoon cruise that was registered on your web site! We both want to thank you all for the help and suggestions you provided along the way...it truly helped make our honeymoon spectacular! My sister suggested that we register for our honeymoon because like most other couples who've lived together before marriage, we were already established with the "stuff" for the house, and I took her advice...and I'm so glad I did!
Your registry is amazing, and we had so much fun getting it all put together! And our families and friends just loved the whole thing! We just wanted to let you know how great we think you're all doing and to thank you again for helping to make our honeymoon better than we could have dreamed!"

"We really liked The Big Day. It was perfect for us because we do not need 'stuff'. Since I was laid off in March, getting the cash for a honeymoon we were not sure we should spend the money and this was the best gift anyone could have given us.
Your site was so easy to set up and use. It was also fun creating our honeymoon. I also want to say how responsive you were whether I called or emailed - you were right there to answer my questions immediately. Many of our friends thought this was a great idea and loved the site. I did not hear any negative feedback at all and I'm sure they will all remember to tell their friends, too. My best friend is getting married in September and she is planning on using your registry."

It was also a fabulous way to track who had given us what, so that thank-you notes were really easy to manage and distribute timely."
Eileen and Chip

"We wanted to make sure you knew that Steve and I were extremely happy with your services. We shared photos with the friends who bought us items off of our registry. Most married people always remember who gave them certain gifts.
It's even more memorable to brag about our unbelievable honeymoon to Tahiti and remind the friends that bought us dinners, drinks and fun excursions that we thought of them while we were there, and think of them every time we look back

at the photos because they helped make our honeymoon possible!!!"

I can tell you that we have received a ton of compliments on the site, and I am sure word will pass along to others who will use your site in the future for their registries as well. Thanks again for being SO customer oriented!!!"

"Now that's what I call service! You have been wonderful and so quick to respond to all my questions. You can definitely count on us to recommend you to anyone we know who is planning a wedding. And even though this is not our first marriage, it is by far the first time we've done anything like this, and I have to say, the response has been very positive. Everyone loves the site - what a great concept! Thanks again for all your help."

"We had a wonderful honeymoon and got to do many things that we most likely wouldn't have done (or been able to afford) without this registry. We did everything from helicopter rides, to bike rides, sailing, snorkeling, and eating like a King & Queen at some fabulous restaurants! Every service group recommended on the registry was pleasant and professional. The extra cash we registered for to fund spa treatments allowed us to have a special relaxing treatment together at the hotel.

We will definitely recommend your service to other engaged couples. Truly, we didn't need any more "stuff" between us, and we had a better honeymoon with more activities because of your registry."

"The ceremony is over, the Honeymoon bags are unpacked and we've sent out the thank you cards. Now it's time to pick up the little pieces and reflect on everyone that made everything fall into place so wonderfully.
So, thank you for making our dream honeymoon happen.

"Good Afternoon Patti,
We wanted to write to let you and your prospective clients know what a wonderful experience we had with TheBigDay registry and travel agent services. We booked our trip to Mexico through TheBigDay travel and created our registry with them as well. Both tasks were easy and stress free.
The reps were able to answer all of our questions and guide us through everything we needed to know

and do to prepare for our trip and to create our registry. When we got into actually creating the registry, the website was easy to navigate and understand.
It was so convenient to break down the entire cost of our trip into pieces (such as air fare, dinners, nights in our suite, etc) and to add excursions (so that we would get extra money to pay for them when we got there) and having the pictures and explanations there already helped to streamline the process. Once registered we were able to get very professional looking cards to insert in our shower invites just as you would at any retail store registry. Our family, even our grandparents, found it easy to purchase items online at TheBigDay and they were so excited to get us something unique instead of another toaster or coffee pot.
The day of our shower we not only received the wonderful gifts from off our registry, but also very creative ways of displaying them. One of our friends got us a toy boat which represented the sunset cruise we registered for. Another friend got us an underwater camera and towels to use on our snorkeling trip that they purchased for us. It was truly a memorable experience and something that made our shower so much more special.
Finally, after all the hard work planning the wedding around work and the holidays, we were ready to go on our honeymoon. Patti sent us all of our travel vouchers and all the information we needed far in advance so all we had to do was show up at the airport on time. Of course we did, and when we landed in Mexico we were directed to all the right places so there was no confusion. Our driver took us to our hotel in the Riviera Maya that TheBigDay had set us up in. The El Dorado Royale Spa Resort was amazing from the moment we stepped out of the shuttle. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. We settled in, scheduled our excursions with designated on site travel agent, and the rest of our time there was simply REMARKABLE. TheBigDay could not have sent us anywhere better. Traveling home was sad, but again very easy and stress free.
The whole experience from beginning to end was seamless and perfect. We want to send a BIG thank you to everyone at TheBigDay for making our honeymoon dreams come true. We never would have been able to have such a great honeymoon without you and the services you provide. To anyone even thinking about using TheBigDay for any of their services, we would highly recommend it! Thanks again!"

"I sent you an email a couple of weeks ago regarding how my fiance and I could tactfully let our friends and family know about our registry with TheBigDay.com without seeming pushy. Gene and I are having our wedding in Hawaii and are not having any showers prior to the event - this really made the notification difficult, UNTIL... MY SISTER IN NORTH CAROLINA CAME TO THE RESCUE!! She put together the most adorable poem that I'd like to share with you...so maybe you could put it on the website for other couples to utilize. It fit our needs so well, it may solve the problem of some other baffled couple. Thanks for all your help!!"
"I've already referred two other couples to your site and will continue to do so. I think it's the greatest thing to happen to weddings in a long, long time!! Take care and thank you and your staff for all the help. This has been a wonderful experience!""

"Dear Aruna and the wonderful staff of the Big Day,
We want to thank you so much for making our honeymoon the trip of a lifetime. We were a little nervous using a Honeymoon registry, as it was so new and different from anything anyone we know has ever done. From start to finish The Big Day made it so easy for us to reach our guests, to post about our honeymoon, and to organize the gifts we did receive.

Your online tips helped us to personalize the registry and we were able to get everyone attending the wedding really excited about buying us a piece of our trip. By booking our trip through you we were able to collect all those funds for the trip for free (!) and it was definitely the best deal of our whole wedding. The trip was made even more special for us because of the fact that it was purchased for us by all of our friends and family.
The trip itself was just a dream from start to finish. Aruna suggested Fiji’s Royal Davui Resort to us and it was just ten days of pure paradise. We began with a breathtaking helicopter ride over the mountains of Fiji, to arrive at the tiny remote island in Beqa lagoon. From there we enjoyed ten nights of sun, gourmet food, spectacular views, and amazing service. The resort was everything we hoped it would be, spectacular luxury and relaxation. The snorkeling was like none other we had ever seen. Since the island is located on a coral reef, we could literally step off the beach and see thousands of parrot fish, clown fish, sargent majors, and angel fish on spectacular coral heads. The staff was warm and friendly and after ten days we certainly felt like family. With only about ten or so other guests on the whole island we felt like we truly were on our own private getaway. It was just the place we were looking for – a spot to enjoy the beach, the sunsets and each other’s company.
Thank you so much for helping us find the perfect location to celebrate our marriage."
