No experience necessary. The peace chant is simple, easy to pick up and lovely to sing. If you’d rather not give voice, you’re welcome to come and soak up the waves of beautiful sound, accompanied by monochord and Himalayan and crystal singing bowls.

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 - that it was almost overwhelming.
I thought I'd pass on to you some quotes from cards & letters we received.
"The Matara Centre was a beautiful location for the occasion, it was a real pleasure to stay there"
"I haven't yet come down to earth after the wonderful enjoyable weekend - just out of this world!"
"We're still amazed at how great everything was, it could'nt have gone better"
Lots of love Julia & Martin - We will be back. xx

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, although she clearly worked very hard, she made it all seem as if it was a pleasure to her. Your housekeeper did us proud with a lovely meal on Thursday evening and the young man who managed the bar was also hard working and charming.
Althogether the staff are a great advertisement for the philosophy of the centre.
We are delighted that Rosie and Dom chose the Matara centre for their marriage and take away the happiest of memories of the celebration in it's wonderful setting.
With best wishes

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 memory we'll treasure.
Kind regards
Lucy & Mark

Dear Rebecca
In the rush of farewells, we did not thank you and the staff for all your efforts on our behalf on Sunday.
We are really so pleased with our day at Matara, which lived up to all our expectations will stay with us in our best of memories. All the staff were so kind and helpful. The food was beautifully prepared and presented and the room looked stunning. We have had many compliments from our guests.
Great Food, great service and great venue - you can't be beaten!

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.

Dear Geoffrey, Rebecca & Jean
Re: House Rental 7, 8, 9th December 2007.
Now that the excitement of the wedding, Christmas and New Year has settled down, Diana and I would like to say a Big Thank You for letting us share your house.
It was an absolute treat to have our own base, to entertain our friends, provide our son with an Usher's lunch and give the band a base!
We had a marvelous time made splendid by the comforts of the house and your help & support.
Best Wishes for 2008

Dear Rebecca, Jean and all the staff at The Matara Centre & Kingscote Park House.
Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend 4-6th Jan 2008, so wonderful in everyway. It exceeded all our expectations, and all our guests commented on the venue - some of the younger ones have already decided that it's the place for their wedding when they find husbands. Thankyou Rebecca for doing such an amazing job of organising and saying 'yes' to all our little requests. You just made it so easy. And thankyou so much to Jean for the wonderful buffet, it was exactly what we had in mind and everyone loved it!
Thanks for everything, we will be up to see our tree 'Sybill' when we return from honeymoon in July.
Mark & Amy xx
