Dear Theresa
We were indeed so lucky. Brilliant, genuine Flamenco. Delightful
company. AN education in exquisite food and drink. Perfect location.
Wonderful guides through woodland walks. Awesome architecture. Magnificent
scenery. Interesting people and places and luxury treatment in wonderful
accomodation. May AWOL continue to bring great breaks and holidays
to many, many more visitors to Granada..Here are a few thoughts
you might like to adapt for your own purposes.
A W O L IN GRANADA
An abbreviation which opens lyrically
An Arabian window over l’Espana,
An alluring wealth of Lorca literature,
And amazing Andalucía life.
Ambling along Albaicin alleyways,
Where whispering waters welcome white weddings,
Offerings of ornate objects, oval olives or oils,
Luxurious leather, lingering lunches liberally liquefied.
Activities wonderfully organised, lovingly
Arranged with optional, light luxuries.
Amicable waiters willingly organise local liqueurs,
As well as welcoming outrageous laughter.
Awesome Alhambra, Alcazabra arched architecture,
Where wary warriors once wielded weapons.
Ostentatious oasis of Ottoman origin.
Luminous landmark; legendary landscape.
AWOL in Granada is;
A wealth of language,
A warren of leisure,
A word of love.
Adios wise observer of life.
Thank you for our time with you,
Ray and Anne

Hi Theresa
Penny and I would like to thank you and your team for once again
producing a celebration that exceeded our wildest expectations.
Your in depth knowledge of all things Granadian; your contacts,
both local and further afield, and the calm, efficient way you managed
our itinerary made this a most memorable few days. Our thanks also
to Francisco for producing the meal of a lifetime and to Sonia for
the joyous way she helped us through everything.
Hopefully we will see you again before too long,
Mike & Penny

Hi Theresa
I am back to reality at work now, wishing I was still in Granada.
Alice and I would like to say how much we enjoyed our wedding and
how much we appreciate all of your hard work. We have had so many
brilliant comments from friends and family simply saying it was
the best wedding that they had ever been to. For Alice and me it
was simply the best day of our lives and the whole weekend was just
perfect.
This was all made possible by your self and the excellent service
you provided. Everyone told me before that organising a wedding
is the most stressful time ever and the fact that we were doing
this abroad would make it even harder. But we can honestly say that
it was very stress free and you made it very easy. Everything was
exactly what we had dreamed of and better.
So once again thank you so much and please pass our thanks on to
all the staff at the wedding venue they were all 1st Class I will
not hesitate to recommend you in the future and we will be visiting
Granada again In the near future
Feel free to use these comments on your website.
Good luck for the future.
Kind Regards,
Mr Daniel Henderson

Dear Sonia and Theresa, apologies for not being in touch sooner.
I just want to thank both of you from the bottom of my heart for
all your help in organising the most amazing wedding. You were soo
professional and brilliant, I can’t believe how well everything
went on the day and it truly was a magical day. The amount of people
who said it to me about how helpful you both were over the last
11 months and for organising the taxi’s and mini bus back
to Malaga airport.
I hope that we weren’t a nightmare couple for you both.
We are back to normal now after a fabulous honeymoon. Its very
hard to get back to work but it has to be done. We are hoping to
make it back to Granada next Sept for our first anniversary and
it would be lovely to meet up with both of you.
Till then take care and thank you once again

We would like to thank you for all the hard work you and Sonia put
in arranging such a special day for Alex and Jens. It must be difficult
to get everything just right but you did very well and remained
cool, calm and patient. Thanks also to Sabina for the beautiful
hairstyles for Alex and the bridesmaids - just what they wanted.
Once again thank you and very best wishes for the future.

Hi Theresa and Sonia,
I've just got back from honeymoon and in the office again. Feeling
a bit flat because I just didn't want to come home. I wanted to
email you both to say thanks so much for everything you did to make
our day so fantastic and run so smoothly!!! I said to Phil that
I was sad that we wouldn't be in contact with AWOL anymore to organise
another wedding!! But of course, we will keep in contact as we will
still visit Granada as it is the closest airport to where my mother
lives. You guys were just great and helped to make the most perfect
day ever!!! I will be recommending AWOL to anyone who wishes to
marry in Spain. I loved every minute of the day and our guests really
enjoyed themselves. The party finished at around half 4 in the morning
and thanks to you, they all got back home on the buses! I've received
cards of thanks and most of the guests have contacted me to say
it was the best wedding they have been to ever!!! You are more than
welcome to use our pics on our website (I like the idea of fame!!)
Take care and happy wedding organising for all those other lucky
couples you work with!!!!!
love and best wishes

From our very first contact with AWOL they stood out a mile from
any of
the other organisations we had spoken to. They gave a real sense
of
knowing the city and tuning into exactly what it was we wanted from
our
wedding which meant they were really able to come up with bespoke
solutions as opposed to trying to pigeon hole us into venues/suppliers
that they had established contacts with.
We didn't really have a set budget in mind when we started planning
but
did find things very reasonable out there compared to things in
England.
AWOL provided us with more than enough options on almost every element
to allow us to make things as economical/expensive as we wanted
as well
- from mini bottles of champagne at the reception to bowls from
'Todo
Cien' as the table centres!
There really isn't anything that I can find fault with in our whole
wedding experience and although this may be slightly rose tinted
glasses
on a grey afternoon in London I can say hand on heart it was completely
the best day of my life and Theresa and Sonia did everything to
help
ensure it lived up to all my expectations.
From our gorgeous blessing in the chapel to the INCREDIBLE reception
at
La Chumbera, the amazing food, the beautiful flowers and the
free-flowing wine and sangria there really wouldn't have been a
single
thing that I would have changed - apart from the fact that you get
to do
it only once! The welcome packs and advice provided by Sonia and
Theresa
also helped to ensure that Granada has become a fixture on several
of
our guests holiday destination lists!

I really cannot express how invaluable the services of AWOL were
to us. Theresa and Sonia are two very experienced and professional
people. They take care right down to every last detail in order
to make your special day a truly wonderful event.
We should have got married on September 17th 2005 but unfortunately
I lost my Father in the August and we had to cancel, this is where
AWOL really were invaluable, they helped to rearrange exactly the
same wedding for May 13th this year. I am pleased to say that we
had the best day of our life, with absolutely no hitches at all.
AWOL made what could have been a very emotional day a really special
day to remember.
We still have many of our guests telling us that it really was the
best wedding that they have ever been to.

Dear Theresa & Sonia, Words can’t begin to express our

about for 12 years a reality. Your patience and perseverance is
amazing and we truly thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

work and dedication you put into making Susie and my wedding day

Hi Theresa and Sonia,We just wanted to drop you a line to thank
you for helping to organize our trips whilst in Granada. Susie and
Paul’s wedding was a dream and we can imagine all the hard
work that went on behind the scenes. Back to the rain unfortunately,
but we do have some splendid photos and very happy memories.

Theresa managed to make a wonderful trip to Granada even more special.
She's not only a great organiser but she's also a a very warm person
with a very laid back attitude who knows all the hidden gems that
you wouldn't otherwise see in Granada. Thanks so much Theresa and
I'll see you next year.
