Nov 19@12:52pm: Dear Geoffrey and all at Matara Our wedding was always intended to be a public affirmation and celebration of the 18 years we have spent together and of our commitment to a shared future, with those people we care about most and who have shown us their love and support over the years. The intention sent out to the universe, on the very wet night before the wedding, was for a day filled with joy and magic, drawing people together. Thank you for creating such a unique environment in which all that and more could happen! Earlier in the year, you encouraged us to let go of any thoughts of the...

Nov 19@12:51pm: Dear Geoffrey and all at the Matara Centre, Thank you so much for everything you did for us in the build-up to our wedding day, which turned out to be a truly phenomenal experience. As we learnt from Geoffrey, when the day arrived, after months of planning, we relinquished control and had no intention other than to show and share our love. It has been wonderful to receive such positive and joyous messages from our guests since the wedding. It seems they were so enraptured by the whole feel of the Matara centre- the setting, the decor, the people, the sense of calm and love and togetherness ... [from Comments for The Matara Centre]

Nov 19@12:51pm: Dear Geoffrey We wanted to write to express our appreciation of and gratitude for all the hard work and dedication that makes the Matara centre such a perfect place to celebrate a marriage. We loved everything about the wedding of our daughter, Rosie and her partner, Dominic: the beautiful setting and the sound of the water. The gracious house where the two families could spend time together and the thoughtfulness and professionalism of the staff. We particulary wanted to say what a tower of strength and source of endless good humour Rebecca was. Nothing ever seemed to faze her and, althoug... [from Comments for The Matara Centre]

Nov 19@12:50pm: Mark and I just wanted to thank you and the whole Matara team for your enthusiasm and hard work on the run up to our wedding, and on the day itself in December. We had the most fantastic day, which even the appalling weather failed to spoil! Everything ran smoothly thanks to your attention to detail, we really could?nt have asked for more. The house is just breath-taking and its peaceful surroundings made it the perfect place to wind down after the big day. Mark and I didn?t want to leave. Thank you again - your efforts were very much appreciated and our time at Matara will always be a memo... [from Comments for The Matara Centre]

Nov 19@12:49pm: Dear Rebecca, Geoffrey and all the staff A huge thank you to you both for allowing us to hold Adrian?s 50th Birthday Party at the Matara. It was a huge success and went better than we could ever have imagined it would. This was of course partly down to the beautiful venue and of course, the wonderful staff who were so helpful and happy - we felt they were a part of the party too. Everyone enjoyed it so much that we are looking for an excuse to have another party at the Matara. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Warmest wishes.
