Hi Renson,
I just wanted to take the time to give you our heartfelt thanks for the time and effort put into making our wedding day so memorable. Our day was everything we hoped it would be and thankfully the weather was perfect! The cake and flowers were beautiful and I was only sad that I couldn't bring them home!! Thank you again for making everything so stress free and organised. Steve & Melanie Prescott xx
Just on a second note, I have contacted the UK senior registrar to inform them of our marriage and a marriage performed in Kenya does not have to be recorded in the UK to be legally binding and in fact they have said we cannot record it in the UK. However, they have suggested we need to have several certified copies of our marriage certificate. Are we able to arrange this with you? Or could you give me the details of where I can obtain certified copies?
Thank you Mel xx

We Hired Renson as our Wedding Coordinator in March 2012.
We were recommended Renson by the Baobab hotel and Spa where we were looking to stay and hold our wedding in March 2012.
We corresponded with Renson via email before flying out to Mombasa. We met up with Renson at our resort the day we arrived at our arrival in Kenya.Renson took us around the hotel to different spots where weddings can be held,giving us the pros & cons for each spot.We went through all of our options with Renson and he advised us on the best times of day when the heat would not be to high for us or our guests.We completed the legal paperwork, confirmed the style of cake and the type of flowers. We arranged to meet up with Renson for an hour two days later to finalize the plans.
We met with Renson again, (he had arranged for the head chef and duty manager to be there as well) to discuss the menu, drinks and how we would like the area for the wedding & reception decorated.We were told by Renson to relax and enjoy our holiday and he would be in touch on the day of the wedding.
On the day of the wedding Renson contacted us by phone to re-assure us that all was in place and ready for our big day.
Renson, coordinated the whole day including the Masai escort and the photographer.
Renson is an expert in his field and made our wedding a special day which we will never forget. He is organised and very calm,his very calm and relaxed attitude that nothing was to much trouble put my wife`s nerves at ease.
We would not hesitate in recommending Renson to anyone thinking of getting married in Kenya, nothing is to much trouble for him. Give him a call or drop him an email.
We have continued to keep in touch with Renson, and look forward to meeting up with him when we go back to Kenya next year.

Dear RENSON,
I've written this recommendation of your work to share with other LinkedIn users.
Details of the Recommendation: "Renson planned my wedding in February 2012 and helped to make it the most perfect day any bride could ask for.
Being from the UK and getting married in Kenya, I thought it would be quite tricky to plan; I was given Renson's contact details about 6 months before the actual wedding was due to take place and he was more than happy to answer any questions or queries that I had which really helped to put my mind at ease ahead of travelling to Kenya.
Upon arrival, when checking in at the hotel, Renson had already requested a meeting with us the following day. Upon meeting Renson, I felt immediately more relaxed, he has such a kind, gentle nature and really took the time to listen to me and my finace and to understand how we wanted our wedding. He gave excellent advice and knowing that he has so many years of experience I knew that my wedding was in very capable hands.
Renson also did the photgraphy for my wedding; because he'd taken the time to get to know my fiance and I we both felt very relaxed and could not fault him. The end result was fantastic, the phots were much better than we were expecting and we were so pleased to get actual photo prints as well as the images on CD!
I would definitely recommend Renson to anyone getting married in Kenya. He made a concious effort to ensure that our every need was met and truely lives his principle that every wedding is unique.
Asante Renson!"

“We had the pleasure of using Renson's services last December, as our wedding coordinator in Kenya. Renson’s work started months before the wedding day contacting us back in the UK and asking us exactly what we wanted for our special day and presenting us with numerous options and suggestions. The day following our arrival in Kenya Renson met us at our resort and ran through all the options again from flowers, choice of cake, ideas on how to stay cool in sweltering temperatures, photographer choices, legal paperwork and running through exactly what would happen during the service. He then met with us before the wedding and made sure that we both were happy and turned up at the venue on time along with the tribal dancers and that everything went smoothly during the afternoon. A couple of days after the wedding we then met to choose the wedding photographs. Renson is a true professional and made our special day run like clockwork, more importantly he set my wife’s nerves at ease and was able to sort everything out just as we had wished. If you are thinking of getting married in Kenya I would certainly recommend you give him a call.” April 2, 2012
