"Making the decision to elope was not easy but after talking with Shirley-Ann it felt right. I was dubious about organising my special day over the internet and from another country but Shirley-Ann eased all my anxieties and made the process so easy. The hardest decision I had to make was the colour of my flowers!

Andrew and I both felt at ease when we met Shirley-Ann on the day. She made us feel like the only couple in the world and her patience and calm were welcomed. Our ceremony was small and simple but I would not have had it any other way and we are so glad that Shirley-Ann was able to share our day with us and make it so wonderful.

It is always the little things that you remember and I certainly won't forget my husband having his fly down for half of the ceremony, Shirley-Ann never skipped a beat!'"
