"Petra, Jordi, and Rosanna: Thank you SO so much for all the time and effort spent on planning and organizing our celebration and trip. The entire trip was so special to us and went perfectly, and our friends all had an amazing time as well. We’ve attached a few pictures and will send more of the event night and setup once we get them from the photographer! We are also passing along the business card of the transport provided for our food tour in case it is helpful for any of your future events. Our chef, Lara from My Chef At Home Spain, was incredible and we would highly recommend her for future clients. Thank you so much again for everything!!"

"We had a wonderful elopement in Barcelona and we appreciate the support of Pearl Sandals to make it happen. The vendors that you use are very top-notch. I appreciated the fantastic custom work done by the florist Beltran in line with my vision. The hair and makeup artist was phenomenal and so lovely and sweet. Andrea's photography was perfect. Sharlene was wonderful to work with through the process as well and did a great job officiating. The guitarist was special. You truly keep a solid team of vendors on your rolodex. Additionally, it was great to get the discounts off of regular vendor prices by booking through you as the wedding planner. I also really appreciated the work by the Pearl Sandals team on the day of the wedding to prepare a magical patio space. You did such a lovely job to create a beautiful setting for us and you were very helpful on the day of our event - it was great to have you there for a toast afterward too! In terms of the planning process, you were all very responsive and quick over email. You provided detailed answers to our many many questions and helped to steer us in the right direction through your responses. Thank you so much, again, for helping us with all of the pieces of our Barcelopment! One thing is for sure, which is that we absolutely could not have done it without you."

“Petra and Jordi were an absolute dream to work with! We had a destination catholic elopement so we really needed someone who could help us with the logistics and paper work, especially since we didn't speak Spanish, and we couldn't have asked for a better team I was a bit worried since we were planning from across the world but from the beginning they were extremely clear, quick to communicate and informative, really putting my worries to rest. They connected us with great vendors and really catered their service to our needs every step of the way On our special day everything went super smooth exactly like it should, we really loved it Thanks again to the Pearl Sandals team!”

“We could not be more pleased about our experience working with the team at PearlSandals! The entire team worked tirelessly to make our international destination wedding in Barcelona special and seamless. Aside from incredible communication and vendor management, they went above and beyond to meet with us for venue tours and tastings on a trip 6 months prior to the wedding. They even allowed us to use supplies from their vast inventory and ship decor of our own to them to store since we live in the US. On our wedding day we were experiencing some chaotic weather (sunshine to rain and lightning) and the whole team handled everything perfectly and I didnt even have to make any decisions or give it a second thought. Petra & team- thank you so much for everything, we love you guys!!”

"Yes, I just want to second what Ollie said too - we had the most amazing day and I never thought I would feel as relaxed on my wedding day as I was (everyone commented that they never seen a more chilled out bride on the morning of the wedding haha) but it was because I had total trust in you all and you are all just so amazing at what you do! The venue, the vendors and the PS team made the day come together just perfectly & I wouldn’t change a thing! So the biggest thanks to everyone."

“Hey Petra, Now that we’ve settled back into our routine at home, I just wanted to send you a thank you email. You and your team and everyone involved in our wedding truly made it such a perfect and unforgettable experience for Steven and I. I don’t think I could’ve imagined a more beautiful wedding for us. Everything was perfect, it was even more than we could’ve hoped for. The food was absolutely incredible, Cal Blay in general was the absolute best, words cannot describe how amazing the food and the staff was. Everyone was so wonderful and professional and loving and just made our wedding that much more magical. I just don’t even know how to thank you for everything you did for us in the last year. It’s so weird that we won’t be talking as often seeing as for the past year we’ve been in constant communication. We just truly, from the bottom of our hearts, want to thank you and everyone for making our wedding day the best day of our lives thus far. The memories made will never be forgotten and it will be a core memory for the rest of our lives. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! ”

"Everything about the past week has been beyond what we imagined and we couldn't have done it without all your support and hard work over the past 18 months! Your recommendations and ideas helped create what we can only describe as our perfect day and we couldn't have asked for anymore. There is nothing we would have changed and all our family and friends were completely bowled over by the attention to detail and quality of service in particular provided by yourself and the rest of the Pearl Sandals team - shout out to Jordi our transport and imports king! We can't thank you enough for taking the time to get to know us as a couple and it's going to feel strange not speaking over email every week! Sara - you have personally helped create the most beautiful celebration and we have memories we will cherish forever."

"Hey Dream Team! We wanted to extend our deepest thanks for all your help yesterday, as well as all the time leading up to the big day! So many people asked how they could help, what they could do, if I was too stressed, etc. It was such a relief to say that it was already taken care of- our wonderful planning team had already helped us to think of everything and make everything come to life! We wanted to apologize for the trouble with one of the groomsmen and let you know he did make it home safe last night! For the other members of the dream team, Yolanda’s work was absolutely stunning, with a beautiful arch decoration and bridal bouquet, and I couldn’t get enough of the reception table decoration! Josep had a fantastic reading of the dance floor and really kept everyone having a good time. Andrea and Urko were both so fun to work with and very kind about allowing us relaxation and eating time as well as cooperating for so many group photos! If there is anyone I’m forgetting I’m sure I would have kind words, if only I weren’t so tired today! As for the Pearl Sandals team, you’ve all been superstars and we couldn’t be happier waking up today with all the memories you helped us create! All our guests have talked our ears off about how beautiful and wonderfully planned and perfect the wedding was! Thank you a million times!"

"Ahh, we loved every minute! It was just the most amazing time of our lives!! I’m sad to be home, and can’t believe this time last week we were making our way out to Spain, its gone so quickly!! The second day was perfect too! Everything went to plan, and was exactly how I imagined it! We had ample food, and so much drink left, but better to be that way round, as opposed to running out! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay. how could they not as Casa Felix, and none of us can stop looking back through the photos! Thank you to all of you for helping plan our perfect wedding, it was everything I had dreamt of, and more!!"

"Team Pearl Sandals & Gau WELL WHAT A PARTY!! Needless to say I have lost my voice. Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for making it one hell of a day and night to remember. The day itself is a little hazy as it went very fast – too many distractions make it difficult to focus, but I know I had an amazing time. Super over excited. All I have been hearing is how it’s the best wedding anyone has ever been to #nailedit ( and trust me they wouldn’t say it if they didn’t believe so ). Martin ( Toms Boss ) for him to say the food and drink service was excellent is definitely something to be proud of, he can be hard to please That Suckling Pig was delicious, shame I was still too nervous and over excited to eat it all. That Cheese Cake as well looked awesome, and the Espresso Martini’s – you want to come and work for Bacardi?they were fab! Petra, thank you for all the little touches also, it looked fantastic and coaching me through some of the decisions. Sorry if the getting people out of there was a little tough. In all seriousness, P&S attention to detail, all the above and beyond are second to non, and your hugs Petra, just make everything seem so easy when I know it’s not. So thanks. Thank you so so much to you all, you were a great team and even though the whether threatened us, no one even noticed the scheduled had changed slightly. Hope to see you all again. Much love. Mr and Mrs Kerr"

"Barcelona is a very special place for our relationship and it will always stay this way. We first met on a plane to that city and continued to bump into each other during that holiday trip. Coincidences led us to see each other in our hometown Istanbul and from then on we were a couple. When we reflect on the past we have always cherished beautiful Barcelona and our romantic comedy-esque beginnings. So when we decided to take our relationship to a next level and to get married, there was no question: we were getting married in Barcelona. While everything was romantic to that point we knew we need a down-to-earth planning from then on. Yes we love Barcelona and knew a thing or two about the city so we believed that we can get through, that we can easily plan and execute everything by ourselves. We were wrong. Even at first glance we faced with lots of questions to address and we couldn’t come up with working answers. We were far (3,5 hours of flight time from Istanbul to Barcelona), clueless and confused. With time passing we were worried and wondering if we can pull it off. In fact at one stage we started looking for solutions in Istanbul, half-heartedly. This is when Petra and PearlSandals team come into play and change everything, 180 degrees. We must admit that we couldn’t manage the process without their guiding and expertise. They manage to come up with perfect solutions, balancing our expectations and financial possibilities. They were with us in every step of the process, from conferences over skype months ago to solemnizing the wedding in the embassy. It was not only us as the couple but all of our friends and family were also happy and relaxed. Most of them were first-time travelers and language barrier was present but everything went very smooth. They keep saying that ours was one of the loveliest and notable weddings they have attended and hearing that makes us very happy. As I have written in the beginning Barcelona has a very special place in our story. And we experienced this chapter in our story most happily thanks to PearlSandals team. We will always be grateful to them."

"What can we say only the biggest thanks for your professionalism, your dedication and your kindness throughout this whole process. Thank you also for your patience on the day (we are vaguely aware of some mini dramas but we had no idea on the day and for that we are eternally grateful!). Please extend our thanks to everyone who contributed; to our beauty crew (they were so patient and understanding of my control freak..lets call them..tendencies!) and so understanding of what we wanted. To the florist (oh my god..we almost cried leaving our bouquets behind); those flowers were worthy of a royal wedding To the caters; everyone was raving about the food and couldn’t stop talking about it. One of our favourite moments was our cake and dessert presentation and these desserts were to die for To JoanRa thank you for being so cheerful and positive and making our ceremony so personal. There were a lot of tears of joy from everyone including ourselves To our musicians; wow!! I’m tearing up just thinking about the music. To our DJ; i think the packed dance floor speaks for itself. Thank you for listening to our requests and creating an atmosphere of fun and laughter To our photographers; their patience and professionalism were outstanding. They listened and fulfilled all of our requests. We cant wait to see our shots. The owners of Sant Pere de Clara; what a breath taking place. Honestly, our wedding venue will be talked about for days, if not years, by our guests. They just couldn’t get enough of it. To hotel Atenea; they were wonderful and it was a great place for everyone to hang out and chill If we have forgotten anyone (we are currently exhausted from our lack of sleep and alcohol induced antics yesterday ) please tell then we’re sorry but we know that everyone’s part no matter how small, was important and made our day the wonderful unforgettable experience that it was. We will hold a special place for PearlSandals, and all of your contributors, in our hearts forever. Once again thank you Lots of love, Mrs and Mrs White"

"Hello Pearl Sandals; Petra, Jordi, Natalia and Rosana, Greetings from cold Boston, where we are finally back to normalcy after an amazing October! Huge warm hug and thank you for the whole team for organizing our wedding. It was a long journey (two years!!) and so much patience and skill was required from all of you to help us through the planning. Now after seeing everything that went into the planning both of us are just horrified to even think of having done it without your help. Everything was just perfect on the wedding day. Special thank you good hearted people for minding Eliana, it was invaluable since she was so very miserable that day for a reason we did not understand since usually she absolutely loves crowds and attention- until we learned the day after the wedding that she actually was sick with her first cold and therefore so miserable and difficult to entertain. (We all in the Vilassar-house caught a nasty cold.) Maybe also some of my stress was affecting her as we had heard just days before the wedding that our green card got rejected and we were stranded in Spain until we got me a new US-visa. So we ended up having an extra ten days of “honeymoon” in Madrid the following week while applying for new visa for me. We did end up loving the extra family-time though. Also, our new return flight was through Dublin on the day when the hurricane hit Ireland, so we got an extra days delay in our flights returning home. Adding to all this the independence commotion in Catalunya, you were the only part that we could count on during our wedding trip, and we are forever grateful for that. Wishing you a wonderful winter filled with beautiful people and weddings, and calmer times for Catalunya. If any of our friends in Barcelona are looking for wedding planner, we’ll be sure to recommend you! Suvi, Brendan and Eliana"

"Yesterday’s wedding was terrific! SO AMAZING! I just want to say that it is my great honor having you ladies and gentlemen planning, preparing, hosting, recording and taking care of our wedding. Starting from Guillermo’s visit and brunch shooting in the early morning to the great dinner till late night, everything was perfect! You really made it: beyond expectation in every aspect! Barcelona is such a lovely city. What’s more adorable are the memories of such great time we spent together. If anyone ever would come to Beijing, do give me a call and I’ll show you around the city with pleasure. Again, thank you all for the great support all the time. Look forward to watching the best moments shootings of the wedding day! Already feel excited with all kinds of imaginations and expectations! As for the closing words, since I love the poem from Ancient China that Esperanza read at the ceremony so much, I found its Chinese character version! It was a singing poem from Han Dynasty, with over two thousand years history. Here it goes: 《上邪》 我欲與君相知， 長命無絕衰。 山無陵， 江水為竭。 冬雷震震， 夏雨雪。 天地合， 乃敢與君絕。"

"Those wonderful memories stay. We have heard from many of our guests that it was the best wedding they have ever been to (and probably will be). So thank you very very much. It was really a fairytale day for us. Everything was so beautiful and perfect. I don’t know How you can manage to organize so many beautiful weddings so often (saw in instagram that you had a wedding the next day also). Really amazing! Everything was like We hoped and imagined! Everybody said that it felt unreal! Also I want to thank you once more for reminding me to enjoy the day and let it go. You probably noticed that I’m a little bit of a control freak and perfectionist. It was really important so that I Could enjoy the day. I will always remember when We walked to the aisle and you said to me “enjoy this is your day”. It made me had tears in my eyes already then. It was really the best day of my life. I got to marry Eveliina but also had the dream wedding I have hoped for from the age of 13. Big hugs to you too! And my wife and dad says thank you and wishes great fall to all of you! Meri"

"Hi Petra, Jordi and Suzan, On behalf of Allan and myself I just want to thank each one of you on your amazing work to make our wedding day as special as it was. We honestly can’t thank you enough, to take us on as clients at late notice when we needed you the most is something we will never forget. We couldn’t have asked for more from you, you all went above and beyond your job and every single detail was more than perfect. Even after the wedding you Jordi had to put up with a lot of texts and what’s apps and I apologise but also want to thank you for doing so. Suzan you were fantastic, such a kind bubbly lady who helped us soo much and we wish you the best of luck for your future with Pearl Sandals. Petra you were amazing! You looked after us girls and the men from the moment we all arrived, making sure we ate, making sure we stayed hydrated and being motherly to us all. Allan and I hope that we have made life long friends and we certainly do not want to fall out of touch with you all. Should any of you ever visit Ireland please let us know. And we for sure would love to see you if we return to Barcelona. Thank you for making our dream come true and making memories for us that will last forever. Your newly married couple."

Probably wouldn’t be good for my liver though… It’s still funny to think of Nick as my husband. It sounds very grown up. That’s nice that things are slower. Barcelona is lovely in autumn and it’s nice when the tourists start to dwindle I bet. Thanks again for the pics. We were waiting on a nice one to put on the thank you cards so will get cracking with those this weekend. Take care and keep making beautiful weddings! xx"

"Jordi. Thank you so much. I think I said to both you & Petra yesterday how much it meant to us and how everything ran so smoothly thanks to you both. I could not have wished for it to have gone better. I am hoping with one of my two children you may have to help us again in the future! They too were both very impressed with everything. Very best wishes & fondest regards. John & Elaine. We asked PearlSandals to help us organise our recent renewal of Wedding Vows ceremony near Barcelona. Petra did a fantastic job for us. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and she was extremely professional before, during & after the ceremony. Her attention to detail is meticulous, and she communicates very promptly. The ceremony was a huge success and something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. Petra played a huge part in its success, and we cannot recommend her services highly enough "

So easy to work with, enthusiastic about love and weddings that we were absolutely at ease with the process of getting married in Barcelona. Petra and her team’s attention to detail and creative flair meant that our wedding was the bespoke, relaxed occasion, exactly what we wanted and thoroughly enjoyed by all our friends and family. Through every step of the way Petra and Jordi where there to give options and advice. Petra you are a truly gifted and wonderfully kind person. We wish you all the best for your new venture, we have no doubt that you will succeed. Thanks to you and your team we had a wonderful wedding."

"When we decided to get married in Barcelona we spent a while looking for a wedding planner. We couldn’t of chosen anyone better than Petra. Getting married abroad you have to put faith into your wedding planner and hope they are on the same wave length and share your vision. Petra certainly achieved this and more. She made the whole process a joy and stress free. Nothing was a problem, Petra listened to our ideas and was in regular contact offering advice and keeping us in the loop. She organised for us and our guests a get together the night before the wedding at the Terrace Bar of the Diamond Palace, even the rain didn’t put a dampener on the evening Petra had everything covered an alternative room and blankets for when it faired up, even a dash for a bottle of Bacardi for one of our guests wasn’t a problem. The wedding day was everything we had hoped for and more as a bride you just want to relax and enjoy the day without getting asked questions from florists, caterers, bands etc Petra made this possible and all we had to do was turn up and enjoy the day. All our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever attended a lot of that is down to Petra and her team. Petra you are awesome we just don’t know who we are going to email everyday helping us make decisions! Wishing you Continued Success You Deserve it"
