Travel Agent Dinner

2011-08-01T05:17:00.000-07:00

Cyprus' Elysium and Mediterranean Beach hotels (part of the Stademos hotels group) had organised a great evening on Thursday 28 July for some of our special travel agents. The aim of this get-together (and a perfect excuse for a brilliant dinner!) was to give a huge thank you to agents who have been booking and continue to promote holidays and weddings to these two hotels through Planet Holidays.

Well, last night was fantastic! We wined and dined… talked about how business was going… socialised and networked. Plus… the Greek meze served at Lemonia Restaurant was just amazing!.

Kyriacos Pyrillos, organiser and General Manager of the Stademos Hotels, was delighted to see so many travel agents had been able to join the evening. He also expressed his personal thanks to all the business brought in by the agents through Planet Holidays.

In turn, Planet Holidays is delighted of their relationship with Stademos Hotels and without each other, business would not be the same. Worth mentioning is that the Elysium is one of our TOP WEDDING VENUES in Cyprus and the Mediterranean Beach is one of our TOP Holiday destinations in Cyprus!

Last night was a great opportunity to enjoy meeting a group a special agents face to face rather than at the end of a telephone line. This dinner brought us all together to share and talk about good memories, changes over time, the present and future prospects of travel and our business.

The evening was great – we must plan others in the near future!

For those who were able to come (names shown below) a HUGE THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSTANT SUPPORT and let’s all have a fab year!

NEW TV PROGRAMME AIRS 4TH JULY ON RHODES

2011-07-04T02:19:00.000-07:00

Planet Holidays (www.planetweddings.co.uk) continue their successful wedding TV series with a new one hour show dedicated to weddings in Rhodes airing on Wedding TV and online at www.weddingtv.com from today, 04 July 2011.

Anyone thinking of getting married on the island of Rhodes, which boasts that it has 300 days of sunshine a year, should make sure they tune in for an insider view of the most romantic venues for tying the knot.

The programme showcases some of the best four and five star hotel venues, many new for this year, including one with its own rivers running through it with an island, plus two unusual venues - the Filerimos Monastery and kalithea Spa, as well as a Greek taverna.

Couples will be able to see footage from the following properties where civil and/or church wedding ceremonies can be performed:

AQUA GRAND EXCLUSIVE DELUXE RESORT - a new 5 star beachfront hotel 1.5kms from Lindos that offers beach weddings and weddings in the Gazebo overlooking the bay where the Guns of Navarone were filmed.

WHITE WASHED CHURCH OF ST PAULS AND ST GEORGE - a picture postcard location for a traditional church wedding in the pretty town of Lindos.

RODOS PALACE HOTEL - a 5 star hotel in Ixia, 4kms from Rhodes Town that has its own chapel for couples wanting a traditional church wedding or offers a variety of locations within the grounds for a civil ceremony.

FILERIMOS MONASTERY AND THE KALITHEA SPA - two unique and picturesque venues for couples looking for something a little bit different. The 15th century Monastery of Filerimos is located 10kms from Rhodes Town in a tranquil hillside location. Ceremonies are performed in the grounds.

Th Spa features some impressive Italian style architecture from the 1920s and the legendary spa was famous in ancient times for its healing water that came from the rocks surrounding the Bay of Kalithea. The building also features an impressive 14 meter high dome.

ALDEMAR PARADISE ROYAL - also in Kalithea this 5 Star is a new wedding venue for this year where civil ceremonies can be performed overlooking the sea or by their pretty chapel in the grounds. This is a great choice for those looking for a family orientated hotel on all-inclusive basis.

BLUE SEA BEACH RESORT - a 4 Star hotel that is also great for families, located 2.5km outside of the lively resort of Faliraki on its own huge stretch of beach. This venue is new for the wedding programme this year and can also be booked on all-inclusive basis or half board.

LA MARQUISE LUXURY RESORT COMPLEX - another new venue, this 5 Star hotel is located in a hillside scenic area of Kalithea and features a fantastic range of accommodation spread over 120,000 square meters, plus a lovely modern pool and a rooftop pool. Couples recieve a complimentary bottle of French champagne to celebrate their big day.

THE DOLPHIN TAVERNA - this typical Greek taverna is ideal for couples that want a more authentic Greek experience. It's located in Lindos that is increasingly becoming the popular choice of location for weddings.

LINDIAN VILLAGE - This stunning luxury 5 star property offers idyllic surroundings on the beautiful beach of Lardos on the south-eastern tip of Rhodes and uniquely has a river running through the grounds with an island where couples can tie the knot.

As well as a tour around these locations the programme also features a couple giving their reasons for choosing Rhodes as the place to get married. They said the island offers amazing value for the standard accommodation, with views to die for and an amazing turquoise sea, reminscent of the Caribbean - but much closer!

After a recce to the island to see what was available they chose the Aqua Grand for their wedding later this summer for its fabulous location and sea front private pool area.

Mathilde Robert, managing director of Planet Holidays said: "Couples love Rhodes for exactly the reason the couple featured in the programme suggest - it has a stunning turquoise sea - that makes an excellent backdrop to any wedding photos, plus the standard of venues is very high profile for the price.

"Planet Holidays takes great pride in taking care of all arrangements for the couple from the translation of the paperwork to liasing with the wedding venue, from organising the flowers to choosing the food and wine. Couple can reply on us to get their big day right from start to finish."

Planet Holidays overseas wedding cost on average just £500 for a simple wedding package and licence. Weddings can be organised within three months of booking, unlike the UK where venues often have to be booked years in advance.

Renewal of Vows

2010-12-13T06:37:00.000-08:00

If wedding bells rang for you
many moons ago, what could be nicer
than renewing your wedding vows
or celebrating a special
wedding anniversary overseas?

These special celebrations
can be organised as a private occasion
with just the bride and groom
or for a huge party to include
as many friends and relatives as you want.

You Can Book Just The Wedding!

2010-12-13T05:33:00.000-08:00

Our services can be as flexible as you wish and this
is why Planet Holidays has become one of the top weddings abroad specialists. Whilst it is best to let Planet Holidays organise your wedding as well as your flight and accommodation, we give you the flexibility to simply book 'just the wedding*'.

For more information call us on: 0871 871 0405
(*) The 'Just the Wedding' option does not apply
to weddings in Mauritius and Gozo.

Your Personal Wedding Planner

2010-11-29T04:18:00.000-08:00

Who can you really trust to organise the most important day of your life?

Planet Holidays is a renowned tour operator based in the UK offering a quality programme with the best selection of top-class hotels in Cyprus and Greece.

Many moons ago, I pioneered the original idea of offering British couples the chance to get married in Cyprus and the award I received from the Cyprus Tourist Office in recognition for placing Cyprus on the 'wedding map' was indeed as exciting and satisfying as arranging my very first wedding on the island
all those years ago.

Today, the excitement is just as great every time we receive
an enquiry from future brides & grooms.

Planet Weddings offers huge expertise, hands-on knowledge and a superb programme of weddings overseas that has evolved from listening to and meeting the many requirements of couples who have put their entire trust in Planet Weddings to organise the most important day of their life.

Supported by a caring team of mature, professional Wedding Co-ordinators overseas, Planet Weddings features a variety of wedding destinations including a fabulous choice of nuptial venues in Cyprus plus in the prettiest Greek Islands as well as Halkidiki, on the mainland. And responding to demands, new wedding destinations are being added regularly with Gozo, Mauritius, The Algarve, Slovenia, and Croatia counting as the very latest inclusions in our programme.

There are many reasons why couples choose to marry overseas... short-haul destinations such as Cyprus, Greece, Gozo and The Algarve allow many of your relatives and friends to attend your big day... a sun-kissed wedding photo album... the opportunity to combine your wedding and honeymoon destination... easy and relatively quick organisation of it all... and, just as importantly, the fact that a wedding overseas will be considerably cheaper than in U.K.

Whatever your reason for choosing to get married abroad, let's make today the start of the countdown to this very important event in your life and we hope that you will trust Planet Weddings to undertake the planning and organisation of your marriage as seriously as you are preparing to take your vows.

Everyone in the Planet Holidays Wedding team joins me and look forward to helping you plan and enjoy the very best day of your life.

Mathilde RobertManaging Director

Extra Touches to Complete your Special Day

2010-11-29T04:08:00.000-08:00

It is more than likely that you'll wish to include some special Finishing Touches to fit your colour scheme or wedding theme.

From balloon arches to scattered petals
to decorate your reception tables, pretty 'favours' filled with sugared almonds to give to your guests or bring back to the UK to friends and relatives who perhaps could not join you on the day.

Planet Weddings can suggest lots of lovely Finishing Touches to add a very personal touch to your wedding day.

And how about celebrating the start of your married life with a fireworks display that you and your guests could view from on-board one of the lovely yachts we have in Cyprus?

Similarly, we could arrange for local musicians to either accompany the bride-to-be to the wedding venue or to entertain you and your party during your ceremony or reception.

Favours... Balloons... Decorations & more...

Suit Hire... Jewellery... Transport...

Hair & Beauty...

Fireworks... Musicians... Scottish Piper & more...

SPA Pampering Honeymoons

2010-11-26T02:41:00.000-08:00

Feel relaxed and rejuventaed besides you are on holiday! Book one of our luxury spa hotels.

Up until a few years ago, hotels offering a sauna or a jacuzzi distinguished themselves from the norm. With today's strong emphasis on 'health & beauty', such facilities no longer count as luxuries.

Wishing to maximise the benefits a holiday can bring, the chance to explore new horizons and get away from the daily routine has to now has to also combine the best opportunity to totally revitalise mind, body and soul.

Within the range of hotels that we feature, many come complete with 'health & beauty' facilities offering a variety of treatments ranging from basic facials and manicures to the 'crème de la crème' in pampering packages.

You can have a Greek back-drop setting of perfect weather, white-washed hotels and cobalt seas, and indulge in Spa secrets.

To book a Spa holiday, call us on: 0871 871 2240

Wedding Gift Vouchers

2010-11-24T08:06:00.000-08:00

It is very likely that you'll already have planned a Wedding List to help relatives and friends choose the most suitable presents for you. But how about also giving them the opportunity to share the expense of your overseas wedding by offering you a Planet Weddings Gift Voucher to contribute to the cost of your flowers, your cake, etc...

When adding your Planet Holidays Wedding Gift Voucher to your Wedding List, simply ask your friends and family to contact us on 0871 871 0405 to purchase a gift voucher. Once we have recieved payment for the required amount they wish to pay (plus a standard fee to cover cost of card, postage & administration), the voucher will be forwarded to them to present to you as proof of their gift.

Gift Vouchers cannot be accepted less than 8 weeks prior to departure, which is when full payment
of invoice is due. Wedding Gift Vouchers may also be used against the cost of pre-booked spa treatments at selected hotels.
A perfect gift for the bride (and groom!) to enjoy a pampering treat before the big day. Another popular idea is to arrange for the beauty treatments to take place after the wedding day - a wonderful complement to their honeymoon to help them unwind after the event and indulge in well-deserved quiet moments together.

A Reason to book your wedding through a wedding 'Specialist' Operator

2010-11-12T07:13:00.000-08:00

PLANET HOLIDAYS RESPONDS TO BBC ‘WATCHDOG’ WEDDING ITEM - When it comes to overseas weddings ‘you get what you pay for’ says operator

Friday, 05 November 2010

PLANET HOLIDAYS (www.planetweddings.co.uk) said it is very disappointed that overseas weddings were given a bad name on Thursday, 04 November 2010 BBC 1’s ‘Watchdog’, which featured two weddings that had gone wrong for couples who had booked through Thomas Cook.

The specialist operator that offers weddings in Cyprus, Greece, The Algarve, Mauritius, Gozo, Slovenia and Croatia said that large tour operators, such as Thomas Cook are all about numbers and that they are more interested in booking holidays for the couple and their guests, than the wedding itself, which is often a secondary priority.

Mathilde Robert, managing director of Planet Holidays said: “It is the old saying ‘you get what you pay for’ that springs to mind. The problem is many couples see an overseas wedding as a cheap alternative to getting married in the UK and generally this is the case as it can be much better value,”

“However by opting for the cheapest wedding package in the market through a large tour operator, whose main interest is selling volume, couples often find the service provided is abysmal as the stories on last night’s Watchdog showed. Large operators will often cut corners as their main interest is not really in selling weddings.”

“We are a specialist wedding operator who always put the wedding first and the selling of any holiday package secondary. Our wedding co-ordinators are extremely professional and efficient and will be on hand for the couple from the moment they first make the booking through to the actual wedding itself.

“As managing director I also personally double check every wedding booking and it is this level of service that couples are guaranteed when they book through Planet Holidays. A wedding is meant to be the best day of a couple’s life and we go out of our way to ensure it always is,” adds Mathilde Robert.

Planet Holidays offer a wide choice of stunning venues in their dedicated wedding programme including castles in Slovenia, cliff top villas in The Algarve, museums and historic venues in Cyprus, a spa complex in Rhodes, by a lake in Crete, as well as a great number of three, four and five star resorts in all of their featured destinations.

The operator can arrange religious and civil ceremonies, as well as same sex blessings and can cater for just the couple who wants a simple wedding ceremony or couples with hundreds of guests that want to pull out all the stops.
As well as the wedding ceremony and reception the wedding co-ordinators will also organise any extras the couple want including flowers, button holes, photography, DVD, car hire, hair and makeup and wedding cake. Couples therefore have the same level of service and detail they would expect if they were getting married in the UK.

Planet Weddings also offer a ‘Go-See’ option giving couples the chance to go and see their wedding destination to either select their venue or see the venue they have chosen and add any finishing touches, plus meet with their wedding co-ordinator. This is a great option for couples who either can’t make their mind up on a venue or really want to get involved with all the arrangements, just as they would if they had chosen to get married in the UK.

Planet Weddings in Croatia

Get Married in Croatia
Weddings in and around Dubrovnik

With a splendid coastline that stretches over 1700km,

Croatia is an excellent holiday destination. Whilst those who can afford it have been spending their cash acquiring all the privacy they seek buying one of the many islands that bathe in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Croatia, others are quite content to spend a week or two getting to appreciate the overall appeal

of this beautiful area of Central Europe.

Reached in just about 3 hours from the UK, it is also not surprising that Croatia has become an attractive nuptial destination.

Our selection of special venues for your big day are located in and around Dubrovnik which include:

Terrace of a City Hall villa in Cavtat

Lokrum Island

Sponza Palace • Dubrovnik

Palm Garden Terrace at the Excelsior Hotel • Dubrovnik

and we will be able to recommend to you a variety of options where you

(and your relatives and friends) can stay; and needless to say that the choice is plentiful enough to avoid your guests staying at the same hotel as you

(unless you wish to, of course).

Inclusions: Planning & administration of your wedding
• Translation of the wedding documents by the court's translator • City taxes • Registry Office fee to perform the ceremony at above mentioned location • Court translator
to assist during the ceremony • Wedding co-ordinator
• Validation of the wedding certificate
