Claire & Jonny, 26 May 2013

 

From the very start Claire was very helpful she suggested that we came to to the wedding open day which was amazing I came along with my friends and most of the suppliers were there also and from the moment that I stepped in the yacht club I knew it was THE venue. Sergio was excellent very organised and the food the chefs cooked was amazing....read full review....

Peter & Trevor, September 2012

Having travelled to many places around the world, I always seen myself getting married somewhere exotic.... then I came across the Yacht club and it managed to exceed my high expectations! This place had to be booked! From the time we first contacted their wedding co-ordinator, Claire Holland, until the time we walked down the aisle.. everything was so professionally and respectfully handled. We didnt want to feel like our civil partnership was second class to a wedding and we certainly didnt feel it for one minute here. Everything was organised through skype calls and emails with Claire Holland. Whatever we suggested, she investigated and always came up with the goods, sometimes suggesting going one better!

We attended the wedding fayre at the yacht club 4 months before our wedding and seeing it was even more special than we thought! There we met all the staff, Sergio, Luis, Silvia, Claire and all the restaurant and bar staff. trust me when I say that staff dont come much better than this crowd! Not only are they slick and professional at what they do, they are also highly personable and this makes all the difference! We managed over the ensuing months, to arrange the whole wedding from home. Through Claire, we arranged the taxi buses for both stags (santa ponsa and magaluff), a champagne breakfast on a yacht (spectacular on the morning!) for the top table, the music for ceremony and equipment hire etc, all the food and decorations, evening entertainment and local dance act. It was only conceivable with the help of Claire Holland.

my Partner and 9 guests from our top table had the champagne breakfast and then we chose to go sailing for an hour. It was an excellent way to break in the long day and definately makes you feel special! We all decided to get changed at the yacht club in one of the back rooms while our guests were arriving and all suits and dresses were looked after by the yacht club. Throughout the ceremony, Luis and Sergio conducted things very professionally and with the service held by Miguel, all our guests commented on how amazing the whole thing looked. Following the ceremony we had an acoustic session set up on the proa terrace while all guests were served with canapes and cocktails. The canapes are highly recommended as they are simply mouthwatering and really add a bit of class to the atmosphere! Sylvia and her staff were on hand no matter where you turned and there was more than enough food and drink going around to keep all guests occupied! The wedding room was co-ordinated by sylvia and her staff and even though we requested a different table arrangement, nothing was too much hassle and the room looked superb on the day! The meal was top class and everyone commented on the quality of it. We also asked the chef could he make us a croquembouche for the cake.... again no problem! During the meal, Sergio organised our roulette and blackjack tables. They were set up outside the room we were eating and it was a nice surprise for all the guests to break in the nights entertainment. The free bar for all guests was the talking point of the night! Superb service, and ensured the music and entertainment was well complimented! As the night grew long, we had a capoeira dance show on the outside terrace. If you are thinking of other entertainment, I highly recommend these! The acrobatics and dance moves are simply stunning! Before the DJ replaced the live band, the staff carried through the crowd, a gigantic platter of paella which we ordered for late night snack. Visually it was very effective and many hungry eyes followed the platter to its destination before tucking in!

From all our guests, 92 people, we are being told that it was the best wedding they've been to. The location and staff is 100% the reason for these comments. If you want the celebrity service for your wedding... visit the yacht club. You wont be disappointed!!

Check out their facebook page and you can see the photo's of all the weddings... and while your at it, drop an email to Claire... you wont regret it!!

From now on when I think Cala D'Or... I think yacht club!

Deanna & Dean - August 2012

We both want to say such a big thank you to everyone at the Yacht Club especially Claire, Sergio, Sylvia and David for such an amazing wedding day.

I have been coming to cala dor for my holidays since I was a little girl and have always loved the place. Myself and Dean have been coming at least once or twice a year for the past 4 years and have loved it more than any other place we have been to in the world.

When we decided we wanted to get married during 2010 we thought straight away we would loved to get married abroad, and cala dor was the first place we looked as we loved it so much. Straight away we saw the Yacht Club and our mind was set on there and we never looked at any other place.

We then got intouch with Claire, who is such a fantastic caring wedding co-ordinator and my parents flew out the next month and booked it.

Claire, well what can we say you made the last 2 years of planning our special day a delight and we want to thank you so much for that. Our day was planned over emails and phone calls And as you can tell by our photographs every last detail was amazing in every way. You are fantastic at your job Claire.

Sylvia and Sergio, what amazing and lovely people, nothing you ask for was too much trouble for them. They made us feel so welcome from the start until the very end. Even when our wedding day was over they still made us feel welcome. We want to thank you both for everything you did for us.

Sylvia- I took over my own flowers and table decorations and gave them to sylvia the day before the wedding as i had a picture in my head how I wanted the tables to look and Sylvia did just that the room looked outstanding and we want to personally thank you for that.

All 57 of our guests who came to our day said it was the most well organised beautiful wedding they had ever been too and it's to every single person that works at the yacht club we owe that too.

Our photographers Richard and Hannah (which was organised through Claire) Where absolutely fantastic in every way. They both captured every single special moment from start to finish and from the photos we have seen so far they are amazing. We would definatley reccomend them to anyone. During the photographs all the guests were served with canapés which were extordinary and definatley worth having and also we had a Spanish guitarist playing beautiful music, which was fantastic.

We just want to thank everyone again who played such a big part in our special day and we will remember this day forever. Don't forget you are all amazing at your roles you play to make everyone's day as special as our was.

Lots of love

Deanna & Dean Hudson

Sarah & Ash, August 2012

To a wonderful team at the Yacht Club.

We wanted to say a huge Thank you to everyone at the Yacht Club for making our wedding day truly amazing! It is more than 6 weeks since our wedding now and I don't think a day has gone by when we haven't talked about our special day because we really did have the best day of our lives! The staff at the club were fantastic (not forgetting Claire who was a star wedding planner throughout our organising), the food was delicious and the venue was stunning! We couldn't of wished for a better day! Our family and friends were full of compliments for the Yacht Club and we would all love to re-live the fantastic day we had over and over.

Thanks again everyone :) and we hope to see you soon,

Sarah & Ash

Vicky & David - July 2012

We had the most perfect wedding day at the yacht club. With all our guests blown away by the setting and surroundings as well. The staff were fantastic and the service was superb.

Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more.

We can't wait to come back again next year for our anniversary.

Love Vicky & David

Renate & Hakon - July 2012

We celebrated our marriage at the Yacht Club this summer. The planning went without any problems. The wedding co ordinator, Claire Holland, was really helpful and kind. The wedding day was wonderful in beautiful surroundings with great food. We will really like to reommend the Yacht Club to all of you who are thinking about getting married in beautiful Mallorca.

Thanks to all of the staff at the Yacht Club for making our day so fantastic and memorable.

Renate and Håkon, Norway

Colin & Susan - July 2012

We held our wedding reception at the Yacht Club in July and can honestly not speak highly enough about it. From the first moment we saw the yacht club we fell in love with the location and service offered. Having a UK wedding co-ordinator (Claire - all part of the package) is invaluable and her help was immeasurable. Sergio and Luis in Majorca were so helpful whilst visiting pre and during the wedding week. Nothing is left to chance and the organisation was fantastic. Service on the day simply made our day - to have 60 guests travel to Majorca meant their enjoyment was key to us - their comments reflected the perfect service that we experienced with a dedicated waiter on each table and wanting for nothing.

As we married at a catholic monastery Luis was on hand to assist in all paper work - again something that would not of been possible without his help. Food was of an extremely high standard and i simply can't praise the venue any further.

An easy choice if you want a relaxed, elegant and memorable location for your wedding.

Colin & Susan

Aimee & Carl - June 2012

My husband and I got married at the Yacht Club in June this year, which in itself is a breath taking venue with stunning views. Our special day was made so personal to us by the high standards of service and attention to detail from all the staff involved from our wedding co-ordinator Claire (based in the UK) to Sergio, Sylvia & louis at the club.

Along with our 71 guests we couldnt fault any part of the day and would recommened this venue without any hesitation.

Love Aimee & Carl x

Nicola & Ryan, June 2012

We had the most amazing wedding at the Yacht Club, everyone was so helpful. Sergio and his team were incredible and nothing was to much. The food was outstanding and all our guest's commented on how gorgeous it all was.

We had a fantastic view of the marina, and at night the Yacht Club was all lit up and magical. Just perfect for our special day.

We'll definitely be returning for our 1st year anniversary.

Nicola & Ryan

Charles & Claire, June 2012

Coming from the US, we initially had concerns about how to plan the details of our wedding from afar, without the benefit of being able to preview the kinds of things that one normally does ahead of time (such as food, flowers, etc.) There were lots of details to coordinate across an ocean, with a language barrier to potentially further complicate issues. Obviously, this presented us with a certain amount of trepidation when we first committed to a "Destination Wedding" in Mallorca.

However, from the very start, things could not have gone more smoothly. The Yacht Club's Wedding Coordinator, Claire Holland, was TERRIFIC! She basically handled just about everything for us: From all of the details of the reception, to contacting priests and helping us handle church-related paperwork, to all of the details at the church including a wonderful Spanish guitarist, to booking hotels and transfers for all of our guests. Claire had an enormous database of resources for everything and was very prompt about sending us extensive details about our options on everything from food to flowers to music to photography. Claire uses Skype a lot, so it was really helpful to be able to speak to her "face to face", and often! Even with the time difference between the US and Europe, Claire was readily available to talk to us. She was a pure delight to work with.

Once we arrived in Mallorca, the staff at the Yacht Club could not have been more accomodating. Besides Claire Holland, great thanks go to Sergio, Luis, Silvia and Pedro in particular. Last minute changes did not seem to be an issue as they were very flexible to 11th hour requests for a special meal for one guest, and changes in the music playlist for dancing. They really instilled a sense of confidence in us, exhibiting the utmost in professionalism.

The wedding ceremony was everything we could have wanted, and more. The Yacht Club arranged for a luxury van to transport our guests (with champagne) to and from the church. Claire's suggestion of a Spanish guitarist for music in the church set the traditional Spanish tone that we were looking for. The church was beautiful, and the priest (whom we literally met AT the church) ran things so smoothly you would have thought we had gone through numerous rehearsals (which clearly, we hadn't!)

Special mention should be given for the photographer recommended by Claire Holland. Richard, (www.weddingphotographymallorca.com) is possibly the most talented professional photographer I have ever seen. He met with us ahead of time to go through the types of photos and settings he recommended, and made sure he had a list of individuals that we wanted to be photographed with. He was unobtrusive, yet took some of the best pictures I could have imagined. He has a really creative eye for his profession. I would recommend him highly.

The reception was a dream. You could not ask for a more spectacular natural setting. Overlooking the marina, the Yacht Club itself is a beautiful, pristine, first-class facility. Cocktails and hor' douerves were served on the terrace near the infinity pool with the guitarist continuing to play. It was quite festive. As the sun set, the reception moved upstairs to the Cala Vista Terrace-- an unbelievably beautiful outdoors setting. The flowers on the tables were incredibly beautiful, and everything truly sparkled. We chose the traditional Spanish Fiesta package-- again, in our desire to really embrace the Spanish culture. Pedro and his staff actually cooked the paella tableside and it was a wonderful display, not to mention delicious. The Mallorcan wine was top quality, and continuously flowing. Music and dancing followed after dinner, with guests partying well into the early morning hours. We had the time of our lives, and could not have asked for a more perfect wedding, thanks to the top-notch staff from the Yacht Club!

Janet & Greg, October 2011

We discovered this venue at a wedding fair and Claire the Planner based in the UK was so professional and easy to get on with we decided to make the trip and visited the venue. We instantly signed up once we met the management and staff of the venue. The venue looks fantastic and we like what it had to offer.

The whole process was painless. Claire helped to contact our suppliers and recommended Florists, Cake suppliers, DJ equipment, even someone for the bouncy castle for the kids.

Sergio, the manager, was excellent throughout and so with Claire in England and Sergio in Majorca, the stress was taken out of the whole wedding experience.

The day? Well the day was absolutely superb!! Silvia and Luis went overboard to make our experience extra special. The food was fantastic. We had the Barbecue and they waited for the right time to start cooking and serving the food. Tasted fantastic. The waiting staff ensured that all our guests were fed and all the wine glasses and champagne flutes were replenished the moment they required. The staff treated our guests like family. Nothing was too much trouble. An example of their helpfulness was - A guest's camera ran out of battery power. Sylvia arranged for a local shop to send over a set of batteries to ensure that our guest would not miss too many photo ops.

She decorated the venue to our exact requirements and would not let us lift a finger except to place the name cards.

We partied until the wee hours. Everyone of our 80 guests commented the wonderful and friendly the service was and having had a wonderful day. We will all be certainly be recommending the yacht club on to friends and family.

Thank you. G & Jan

Gemma & Dave - July 2011

Myself and Dave would like to say a huge Thank you for making our special day so wonderful, from the moment we chose the Yacht Club for our wedding we didn't have to worry about a thing, you really did make it perfect, it was unique and flawless, just as we wanted.

Getting married in a different country and planning it mostly over email should have been daunting, but it wasn't at all. Thanks Claire.

The attention to detail shown by all of the team was second to none. Sergio and Luis made us feel so welcome at the Yacht Club from the moment we arrived, they couldn't do enough for us, giving us different desserts to try (all of which were delicious), to even clipping fresh flowers from the garden on the morning of the wedding to help decorate our tables!

Our wedding day was perfect, the weather was gorgeous and more importantly the WOW factor our guests got when they arrived made it for us.

Every one of our 50 guests commented on how beautiful the Yacht Club is, the location, the views over the marina, the food, the decoration, the staff...just perfect!! ( and not forgetting the games room for the children, that's all they have talked about since we got home!)

Richard, our photographer was fantastic, thanks for recommending him to us, the photos speak for themselves, lovely guy and brilliant and what he does.

Claire, Sergio, Luis, Silvia and the rest of the Yacht Club team really did make our Wedding day the most perfect day in every way possible, we can't thank you enough for everything you all did for us.

We will definitely be coming back to the Yacht Club for our anniversary next year, probably joined by most of our family as they all loved it as much as we did.

Hope to see you all again soon

Gemma and Dave Brocklehurst

Erica & Michael - July 2011

We got married here on the 15th July and to say the day was amazing doesn't do it justice, the venue, staff, food and service was better then i ever could have imaged. The staff were helpful and politle and all our guest commented on the high level of service. The food was breath taking and the service flowed nicely.

If i could go back and do it again i would but i would not change one thing!!!! trust me if you want a beautiful setting with a fantastic service in Majorca this is the place for you.

Thanks again Sergio, Claire and all the staff - see you soon.

Kerron & Kerry - June 2011

Having bought 86 people from the UK to see us get married we hoped and prayed that our day lived up to everybody's expectations. So what can we say !!!!!!! The Cala Dor Yatch Club over exceeded the expectations of ourselves and our guests.

There truly are no words good enough to put our fabulous day into perspective. We wouldn't like to mention names incase we missed somebody out because every member of staff went above and beyond there call of duty.

There was not a single thing we would change about our day, it was just perfect and the guests were all blown away by the whole experience. Alot of guests commented on how " we really have set the standard" and " This is the most amazing wedding I have ever been to ".

Getting married abroad would unsettle most people and the all the staff were very consensus of this and at all times presented ideas and suggestions that were to our advantage, they wanted your big day to be as special as we did, and nothing was to much trouble.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so magical.

Claire feel free to share our link with our review xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx thank you so much for all your help xxx

Colin & Nicci - August 2010

We chose the Yacht Club because we fell in love with it the minute we walked through the door 12 months earlier.

It was without a doubt a truly magical experience. Everyone talks about organising weddings and how this can be a very stressful experience. We are living proof that this is not true. We loved all of the planning. We worked with Claire the wedding co-ordinator from day one and she made the whole thing easy and enjoyable - nothing was too much trouble. She treats your wedding as individual so it is unique, not like other venues when you fit your wedding into their package!

All the staff were wonderful and did everything we asked for and more, before, during and after the wedding. Thanks to them the whole day went without a hitch. The meal was faultless and the evening buffet was also excellent and plentiful. Our friends are still talking about "The wedding of the year"

Thank you, Colin & Nicci

Nadja & Richard - July 2010

To everyone at the Yacht Club

We would like to thank you for the wonderful reception that you gave us. Everything was perfect from the table settings and the food, down to the kind attention that your whole staff gave to us.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with everyone of you to make our day so very special – you even managed to book the weather for us!

We will definitely be recommending you to all our friends and family. We wish you all the best and hope that you are able to make many more couples as happy as you made us.

Nadja & Richard

Paula & Will Gough, October 2009

Hi Claire

What can we say! We can't thank you and the whole team at the Club for giving us the best and most memorable wedding day! From the time we booked up till the big day, you were all so helpful and kind to us and our guests.

Everyone was blown away when they arrived at the Club just as we wanted them to be. They all said how delicious the food was and how attentive the staff were.

We would love to come back to the Yacht Club again one day soon - thanks so much for everything.

Paula & Will
