Customer Reviews

Down to earth

A very useful friendly format. Sensible suggestions. To make the occasion even more special, I used the wedding song in Defenders of the Holy Grail by Agori. The music is available through Elfstone Publishing

"The Perfect Home Wedding" fulfilled its promise

Don't let the soft-focus photos and frou-frou design fool you - the author's matter-of-fact tone and frank advice helped me plan a wedding that suited my sensible style. So many of the guides are written like filler for ad pages, but the language of this one kept me entertained throughout the entire planning process. (P.S. Getting hitched went off with barely a hitch!)

Presentation and some common sense advice

The book is a straightforward, down to earth, ideas book. If only there were more of them out there. I found it invaluable as a precursor to preparing for my own wedding recently.

An excellent source of inspiration for wedding planning!

Even though I'm not getting married at home, I found this book very useful. I didn't find it a good planner book, but with it's many beautiful pictures it was great for creative ideas. It probably won't be useful if you're getting married at an all inclusive reception site, but if you are getting married at home or somewhere with more freedom, check it out. It's not budget conscious, but I was definately able to incorporate some of the ideas into my wedding by doing-it-myself. I flip through every so often just to see if anything strikes me...so it was definetely worth the purchase. But, if you don't buy it...at least take a peek at the bookstore and see if anything sparks your creativity.
