Testimonials and Reviews
We believe we offer the most flexible and best value honeymoon gift list service on the market. But don't just take our word for it — here's what some of our customers have told us...
The site is really, really fantastic and the service you provide is truly outstanding. You have made this such an easy process. … I have to say, we have had such amazing feedback about the site. People really love it! … We really can't say enough great things about your service. Your attention to detail and your personal responses to all of our inquiries put you on an entirely different level from all of the other honeymoon sites we researched.
— Carolyn and Fernando Bohorquez, New York 
We wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate you on a fantastic website which enabled our guests to buy us the most amazing honeymoon to the Maldives.
We found it very easy to use, good value and graphically far superior to any of your competitors. We particularly liked the ‘business card’ with our unique web address that we slipped into our invitations and also many of the developments you made over the past 12 months.
Your help and support in assisting our less web savvy guests to purchase gifts was also excellent. They were very impressed.
We now have the long but pleasurable task of thanking our guests which is made so simple with the gift history section.
— Sian and Luke Smithers, Berkshire
I have to say, your site is wonderful. I love how much flexibility your registry gives, both in listing items and in customizing it. I had a registry set up on a different honeymoon registry site, and I just went and deleted it (we hadn't publicized the registry yet), because I like your registry set up so much more!
— Elaine Swick and David Sims, Arizona
The couple sets up a web page which introduces their guests to the idea. One of our favorites was this one. Isn't that perfectly gracious? Don't you just love them, sight unseen? … You can just see their dream honeymoon, can't you? And if you were friends of theirs, wouldn't you just love to help them get it?

Thank you so much for helping us create the honeymoon and website of our dreams. We had a fantastic time and all our guests commented on what a great idea it was to have a honeymoon website and also how easy it was to use.
— Julie and James Emmanuel, Manchester
I thought the service was great, you guys were really helpful and I liked the way you were keen to make improvements to the service. I have probably recommended you to at least 5 other couples.
— Charlotte and Nick Penfold, London
We thought Buy Our Honeymoon was a brilliant idea right from the start, but it surpassed our expectations. It was so easy to use, FUN to use, great value for money and our guests really loved the idea and had a great time picking gifts for us. What we hadn't really thought about was how much more special it would make the honeymoon itself, as each time we did one of our gifts we thought about the people that bought it for us. Can't recommend it highly enough.
— Karen Dawe and Stuart Down, Bristol
Now that the dust has settled, we just wanted to drop you a quick line to say that we were delighted to have chosen your site for our wedding list. It is a brilliant idea, especially for those couples who, like us, have been together for many years and don't need any more housewares or vouchers. We found the site very easy to set up and use, and it has also been invaluable as a reminder when sending thank you letters to guests. The feedback we have had from our guests has also been 100% positive. Thanks again, and best wishes for the future.
— Edward Bacon and Maddie Baxter, Essex
We are very pleased with the changes you've made and the pictures give the list a nice finishing touch. You've got our personalities down to a tee, we especially love Harrison's Cave, and Harbour Lights is very funny.
— Sudge Roy and Sally Williams, Merseyside
Just a quick one to say I think your website is absolutely brilliant and that you have really made our wedding gift list so much more interesting than just asking for money!
— Catherine Smith and Adrian Mills, Solihull
Thank you for an absolutely awesome service and a fantastic idea. We always wanted money for our honeymoon but had no idea how to ask for it. Buy Our Honeymoon provided that answer, and more. Our guests were fascinated by the concept and we certainly had a memorable honeymoon. We even have enough funds left to go back to Paris in August for a mini honeymoon to do all of the things we didn't manage last time!! We enjoyed making up our list and enjoyed knowing that everything we did on honeymoon was been selected for us by our friends and was been chosen with as much care and love than if they were shopping for the more conventional wedding list. If anything, we found our "gifts" to be more personal to us than anything material we could have asked for.
— Elizabeth and Matt Bryant, Kent
This is just a quick email to say thank you to you and the company for all your help! We just got back from New York a few days ago and had a fantastic time. We got bought a lot of things from the site which enabled us to make the honeymoon even more memorable! We also got a lot of positive comments from our guests about the whole buy-our-honeymoon idea — think we may have a few friends who'll use it in the future.
— Mark Hardie and Sylvia Nash, Edinburgh
We're 7 weeks to go to the wedding, and although it's probably the norm to thanks you guys afterwards, I just had to do it now — the site has been amazing — everyone thinks it is great and they all feel so involved, which is exactly what we wanted. Putting the site together was such a giggle for us, and now we can't wait to go!
— Tina Hookway and Richard Wood, Doncaster
With bespoke packages and a research service, guests can really get a taste of what they are setting you up for whether it's a day of jetskiing or a sunset cruise. There isn't a service charge and guests can offer you gifts via PayPal, cheque or in person.
— Camilla Chafer, Bridalwave blog review, April 2007
It's so nice to do things through your website, you take care so well of everyone! Thanks a lot, you made our honeymoon much much much better! … It was the best trip ever!
And we did not even spend everything, so we got some extra to start the year with, which was very encouraging.
It was a lovely service what you provided and everyone was very enthusiastic participating in it!
Lots of success to you, and many thank you's again!
— Karina Sabac and Marijn Simons, The Netherlands
All of our friends and family who used the site thought it was a wonderful idea. I thoroughly enjoyed creating the site and making it personal to us. We got everything we asked for and had the most amazing honeymoon so thank you very much for all of your help!
— Lauren and Graeme Newall, Edinburgh
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful service — so easy to use and all our guests said they love it! We are now planning the honeymoon of our dreams and are so excited!
— Caroline Kippen and Matthew Donald, London, on our Facebook page
We were delighted with your service and had the most fantastic honeymoon, with your help.
All our guests commented on how easy the website was to use, and we loved helping to create the different items. We would definitely recommend Buy Our Honeymoon to any couple who are looking forward to an alternative wedding list. 100% professional and a wonderful creative way to create a honeymoon.
— Sarah Mahomed-Ross and Dexter Mahomed, London
Your site is fabulous and the service is fantastic. I always suggest it when talking to other brides on wedding forums!
— Victoria Turnbull and Tom Tootal, London
I love this idea. You can customize your wish list and register for everything from deeply romantic honeymoon experiences to hepatitis vaccinations to sock yarn. And Shelley and Andrew Green, the couple who created and run it, are fantastic and helpful. I highly recommend it to anyone who's getting hitched but doesn't need china.
— Rosemary Rowe and Kate Trgovac, Vancouver, on Rosemary's blog
Thanks very much again for all your answers. Very prompt and I will certainly be recommending this site to anyone I know that is wanting to set up something like this in the future.
— Martin Hill and Claire Mould, Kent
The site is looking fab, thanks for the service you provide.
— Celia Latchman and Robert Hipgrave, Middlesex
The set up went smoothly — the trial idea was a big plus for me. And the site was fantastic. It had a much more professional look to it than other comparable sites and was more flexible too. I am quite a technophobe and our site still looked fabulous because it was so simple to use and of such high quality.
— Suzanne and Chris Staden, London
I think your website is great. I'm also in the wedding business, and I'm going to tell all my brides about this!
— Adel Kotze and Hugh Frames, Oxfordshire
We found your site extrememly successful and well run. All our guests commented on the originalilty of it and it allowed us to have the honeymoon of our dreams which we may not have otherwise been able to have. We have consequently recommended your site to several of our friends engaged to be married.
— Louis and Jessie Lancaster, Hertfordshire
Instead of just registering for household goods, why not register where your honeymoon will be and have people help you with the little added things like parasailing?
— Sean P. Aune, 30+ Online Tools for the Perfect Wedding, Mashable, March 2008
We think you have a great concept, website style and the look is good. Your website is the only one I have found that provides the hosting of the list etc and leaves the money transactions to our guests' discretion. The other websites didn't give me enough confidence in that area.
— John Bailey and Lisa Wood, Worcester
Just had a quick glance and it looks fab ... I have been recommending the website to everyone I know who's getting married and they all absolutely love it!
— Lana Pugh and Gareth Hughes, Wales
I totally love it — and John does too … I'm really really happy!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
— Emma and John Driver, County Durham
A big thank you for all your help in setting up our list! Everybody absolutely loved it and found it so easy to use! It was the perfect way to help us with our honeymoon, and our friends enjoyed buying experiences as it felt like they were buying something specific for us, and not just giving us money! We found that each one of them bought the gift that most reflected their personalities, and we still remember all of their comments, as they were so funny and appropriate!
— Benedetta and Federico Sali, London
We're really enjoying your website — thank you so much for creating it! Your story was so nice to read — I sensed right away that you were great people, and I really like the site you have put together. The artwork is very attractive and simple, and to us, it's worth the money to have this interface.
— Sarah Brown and Jeff Napper, Pennsylvania
Many thanks for your kind generosity, we have had nothing but good experiences with creating the list so far, a fantastic site and an invaluable tool in our honeymoon planning!
— Andy Law and Abbie Carr, Aberdeen
We wanted to say that your website was absolutely fabulous!! We have recommended it to all of our engaged friends so we hope you get a few contracts through our recommendation!
— Kathryn Kennedy and Ben Larsen, London
Honeymoons can be expensive, so why not create a registry for it? I think it's a great idea especially for those hard-to-buy-for couples who already have everything or for couples who are heading into their second marriage.
— Lynn Little, Tie The Knot blog review, August 2007

Thanks for providing such a perfect service! Of the people so far who have seen our list they think it is an amazing idea, and hopefully it will get us our dream honeymoon, especially after all the expense of the big day itself.
— Jodie White and Michael Knock, Middlesex
A fantastic service!! Your site was easy to use and great fun!! All of our guests commented on what a wonderful idea it was and loved reading our wedding pages!! Would very much recommend you!!
— Amy Mears and Richard Tarr, Northamptonshire
I met a lovely lady by the name of Shelley at the Earls Court wedding fair, and Buy Our Honeymoon was just what we were after. We had seen other similar ideas, however the people running the sites took a percentage of the gift, and there was something about that we didn't like! With Honeymoon Promises, we pay a management fee, and all of the guests' gifts go directly to the honeymoon fund! She has also been an absolute star in giving us some ideas while we are touring the West coast of the States! If you know anyone else getting married, I can't recommend her highly enough!
— Anita Cade, Surrey, on her wedding web site
Once again thank you so much for your help, we will not hesitate in recommending you to anyone!
— Louisa Stewart and Marvin Brewster, Hertfordshire
The list worked perfectly and we had so many compliments on it. We really appreciate your help, you couldn't have made things easier!
— Maiya and David Vandermeersch, London
Thank you for this terrific service. We will continue to recommend to our friends as you have been very helpful and have provided excellent customer service. We had a wonderful wedding and honeymoon. Thank you Buy Our Honeymoon.
— Gina Febbraro and Ajay Kapoor, Colorado
I came across your web site last Wednesday while I was trying to find a way of asking our wedding guests for money towards our honeymoon, without it sounding really crass. And I found it! I am absolutely hooked. What a fantastic idea and so easy to use. I will certainly be recommending it to everyone I know!
— Stephanie Carter and Alain Grandjean, Bristol
We had (and are still having) an amazing honeymoon. This service was awesome, we loved it, our guests loved it… fantastic!
— Tim and Katrina Smith, Bristol, on our Facebook page
Great idea and great website that's already a talking point amongst guests and our wedding day is not here yet!
— Colin Bennett and Katie Jackson, Essex
The thing that struck me about Buy our Honeymoon was its simplicity and value for money … I think it's a fabulous idea. It is a fun way for guests to contribute and a practical and very flexible way for the couple to collect a financial contribution for what is one of the most expensive parts of a wedding.

Your service was absolutely brilliant — thank you so much. Our guests loved the concept and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to people. Well done!
— Vicky and Jeremy Rice, Cornwall
Just wanted to let you know that we got your cards and sent them out Friday! We are so excited to hear everyone's response. We set up our website, and we're very pleased with how it came out. … So far all the feedback from our friends and family is how neat of an idea the honeymoon registry is.
— Jason and Amy Lehman, Alabama
My fiancée and I signed up with this service a few weeks ago. We had a lot of fun designing our list at our own pace (and with the help of quite a lot of wine!) and found this website really easy to use. It both gave us the space to create something quite personal to us (all our items are named after songs for example!) and also something classy looking and very professional. The service so far has been excellent and though we aren't sending the invites out for a while, I am chafing at the bit to send it to all our friends!
— Emma Burnell and Nik Horne, London, on the Bridalwave blog
Thanks so much for helping make this lengthy process easy for us both. It looks great, Shelley, thanks a million.
— Sally Whitworth and Steve Vernon, London
Thanks again for everything, you have been outstanding!
