Story

NOW FOR THE REAL STORY...

The first time Ryan saw Lauren, he didn't realise it would be the start of a 4 year pursuit. Luckily, amongst Ryan's many strengths is persistence. Although, after many anonymous gestures & countless ignored texts, Ryan was about to admit defeat.

Until one day, he was asked to visit a local family business who were interested in upgrading their telecoms. When asked if he knew of Chantelle Lighting, Ryan cried tears of joy. Of course he did, he had delivered endless bunches of roses here over the years. This was his chance... only to find that he wasn't going to be dealing with Lauren but her Dad, Anthony.

Ryan quickly discovered that Anthony was something of a del-boy & a man who appreciates a good deal. So with a heavily discounted quote, and the hint that Anthony could have his loft guest bedroom back, Ryan managed to sign more than just the telecoms deal - but his best deal yet!

Tidbits

How did you first meet?

See "Our Story"!

Who made the first move? How?

Ryan, sending anonymous flowers to the office

What was your most memorable date?

Drinking wine at The Gritti Palace over looking the Grand Canal in the heart of Venice

What's your favorite activity together?

We love nothing more than to just have fun.. but surfing in Newquay if we were to pick something other than drinking and eating!

Where are you going for your honeymoon?

We are heading to the Amalfi Coast for a few days, straight from Ibiza. But we are looking forward to a few weeks of relaxation in January, when we go to Dubai & Bali!

What's the best meal you have eaten together?

Lobster at Rick Stein's

We’re on the same page about

What's important to us, which is spending time with the people we love most. (You all!)

A life goal of ours

Is to wear Creed every day & Tom Ford glasses, to improve sight (private joke haha).

The most spontaneous thing we’ve done

Hiking to the top of Ingleborough Peak to watch the sunrise!

Schedule

Saturday, September 17, 2022

Ants - Ushuaia 🐜🖤

4:00 PM to 11:59 PM

We have a ground floor suite with a garden booked at Ushuaia Hotel on Saturday 17th. We plan to arrive for 4-5pm, and we'll use this room plus buy tickets for Ants. Tickets are usually £40, so this plus splitting the cost of the suite between all of us should hopefully work out to be around £75pp. We might be able to get backstage passes, but I don't want to promise! The suite means we can buy our drinks for the room from the off licence (instead of paying club prices approx. €22 each!).

Dress Code

Please wear black 🖤

Blue Marlin - Beach Club (Hen Party!)🥂☀️🐚

1:00 PM to 8:00 PM

I have booked 5 big beds at Blue Marlin - which will accomodate our party of 21 girls (this is everyone who has RSVP'd as attending). It is £105 per person, but you get this back in drinks & food. I have paid a deposit already (£435), but we can sort this out between us on the day. My bridesmaids have had a really good idea, to ask everyone to wear red swimsuits/bikinis & red cover ups and then I will wear white - which I think will look amazing on the group photos! Aiming to arrive for 1pm x

Dress Code

Beach Glam - please wear all red ♥️

Ocean Beach (Stag Party) 🍻🍾🩳

1:00 PM to 8:00 PM

We have now booked the VIP Palm Booth for 14 people at Ocean Beach. It is Sin Sunday at Ocean Beach, and we booked the last available bed as it’s a sold out event! It works out to be £135 each (which will reduce if anyone else decides to jump on). I have paid the deposit but Ryan can sort that out between everyone on the day as this will be knocked off the bill🍻☀️😎

Note

September is one of the high seasons in Ibiza. Please make your arrangements as soon as possible for the best rates and availability. We managed to get group discount codes for booking directly with hotels, however this would require upfront payment and Booking.com seemed to offer even better discounts plus free cancellations & pay at property options.

Hotel Product

TALAMANCA - Ibiza Corso Hotel & Spa

This is where me & Ryan plan to stay before the wedding & before we move to our Villa on the wedding day. It’s right next to STK steak restaurant and many of the other popular places - it overlooks the marina. We would recommend to book through (or similar sites) for the best deal.

TALAMANCA - Ocean Drive

This hotel is just a few minutes away from Ibiza Corso Hotel & Spa. We would recommend to book through (or similar sites) for the best deal.

CALA CARBO/CALA VADELLA - Casa Victoria Suites

This is a lovely quiet place, with nice views and is quite reasonably priced.

CALA CARBO/CALA VADELLA - Calador - Ibiza

We didn’t visit this hotel, but our wedding planner often stays here during the wedding season. She said it’s not as luxurious as Petunia (below) but it’s definitely one to be recommended as it’s chilled, clean and got a nice traditional Spanish vibe.

CALA CARBO/CALA VADELLA - Petunia

We stayed here during the second half of our trip. It’s an adults only hotel so it won’t be suitable for everyone, and it was quite expensive compared to other places. It’s right across the road from the wedding venue and has an amazing rooftop terrace where you can watch the sunset over Es Vedrá.

Calador & Petunia (Note)

When looking for prices for Calador & Petunia it seems as though they haven’t released dates this far in advance yet as it says there’s no availability, but I can’t imagine they are both already booked up that week.

Note

Villas & Rentals

Sant Josep de sa Talaia
This is an area I would recommend if you were thinking of hiring a villa for a group/family. It’s in between Talamanca and our wedding venue. There are some really nice, and reasonably priced, villas on air bnb.

I would also recommend to look at Talamanca on air bnb for villas too if you wanted to stay more central in a villa - but they are a little more pricey.

These are just recommendations, and absolutely no pressure to book in these areas or at these hotels. We understand that some people will want to make this a holiday for themselves and not just a trip for the wedding, so please feel free to use as much or as little of our advice as you please!

These will be going in our official invites, but wanted to let you know sooner rather than later so that you can start to look at areas and hotels for prices and availability in plenty of time.

Q & A

For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!

When is the RSVP deadline?

Please RSVP by January 31st 2022

Can I bring a date?

Please check your invite for your +1!

What will the weather be like?

The weather begins to cool down in September in Ibiza, when the summer season comes to an end.

At this time of the year, the average temperature is historically between 25.5°C and 21°C.

Typically in September there are around 8 days of rainfall, this is spread out across the month, which means there's a fairly high chance that we'll experience a shower or two during our visit. So maybe pack, or buy, an umbrella!

The ceremony and reception will be under cover and the dining area will be covered in the event of rain, so no need to worry about getting wet, fingers crossed for no clouds though :)

Where should I park?

If you want to drive to the villa, there is parking outside of the villa entrance.

What should I wear?

Our dress code is neutral. We would like everyone to stick with lighter/pale neutral colours please, such as white, grey, nude, light blush, ivory, silver etc. (please do not wear blue)

What kind of shoes should/shouldn't I wear?

The villa is quite flat so heels shouldn't be a problem. We will also be providing flip flops for anyone who wants to change out of their heels (Anthony Holly) :)

Are there any hairdressers/salon recommendations?

Blow Out Ibiza:

Are there any makeup artist recommendations?

Blow Out Ibiza:

Is it okay to take pictures with our phones and cameras during the wedding?

We have a photographer & videographer throughout the day/night so we would really love for you to enjoy the ceremony without watching it through your phone screens. After our vows have been said, during the confetti throwing we don't mind you capturing these moments - please just try to be discreet when taking any photos or videos so that you don't block any professional shots being taken with phones or flashes, but otherwise capture as many memories as you can (please share them with us <3 )

Whom should I call with questions?

Please call or text Lauren on 07585 967 742
