A Day toRememberHelen and I wanted our wedding day to

be special as all couples do. We wanted

our friends and family to surround us and

help us celebrate. We had hoped to marry

in a sunny tropical island so we and our

guests could enjoy the wedding as part of

a family holiday. We had considered

various options and Malta and wedding

co-ordinator Sarah Young, Y Plan Events

was recommended to us by a friend. We

decided to investigate and what a

treasure this turned out to be!

From the moment we made contact with Sarah,

any wedding worries or anxieties we had flew

out the window. The fact that we were a same-

sex couple made no difference to Sarah. She

put us at ease and was extremely approachable

and open to our ideas and offered alternative

solutions to suit our budget. Every detail was

arranged via email. We didn’t have to lift a

finger other than to press the send button. This

suited our busy working lives.

As impressed as we were with Sarah and her

team’s preparation and creativity we were

blown away by the setting in real life and the

accessibility to everything from our Hotel (Le

Meridien, St Julians) which was just a pathway

from our wedding venue (Villa Brasserie).

We had arrived a little earlier than our family

and friends to attend to the usual last minute

details. And I mean these details literally only

took minutes as Sarah and Lisa had everything

so organized. When our guests did arrive we

could see by the looks on their faces how

impressed they were too. We could tell this was

going to be a holiday and a wedding never to

be forgotten.

As a team Sarah and Lisa presented as

extremely professional with an excellent eye for

detail. They made us feel so welcome and so

special. So much so that on the night before the

wedding all of our family and friends were able

to get together for a very special pre wedding

dinner and the best venue in St Julians was

made available to us.

Our wedding was all we had dreamed of and

more. We were treated like royalty. Everything

was planned to perfection and that is exactly what

the day was – PERFECT!

The commitment ceremony conducted by Helen’s

brother took place on the balcony of the beautiful,

scenic and romantic Villa Brasserie. We sampled

exquisite food and the best of wines were free

flowing in the Villa itself, which overlooked St.

Georges Bay. From the beginning of the ceremony

to the last dance our guests were treated to the

best food, wine and entertainment Malta had to

offer.

Just in case we could forget what an amazing day

our wedding was, the very next day Sarah met us

in person with photographs that we will never tire

of showing off to those unfortunate to have

missed our happy day. And the organising didn’t

end there; two days after the wedding Sarah had

organised a boat trip. This boat trip was unlike any

you are likely to experience in Ireland. We

boarded a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ type boat

which took us to the Crystal Caves and the Blue

Lagoon. Almost everyone from the youngest,

aged eight to the oldest, a little older than that

swam in the beautiful clear blue water.

To this day, almost three months later, our friends

and family are asking when are we returning to St

Julians so they can join us for another holiday to

remember!

From the moment we decided to have our

wedding in Malta to the moment we arrived back

home in Ireland Sarah Young and her team made

our wedding an event neither us nor our family

and friends will ever forget. If you’re trying to

make decisions about who is going to help you

plan your wedding, look no further than Y Plan

Events. Helen and I cannot express enough how,

because of Sarah and her team, we were the most

stress free and blissfully happy blushing brides

you’re ever going to meet!

Thank you so much Sarah and Lisa and everyone

who made our day so memorable.
