"One of a parents proudest moments, is to witness our children's marriage ceremony. Sept. 1st, 2012 Darren & Wanda Heimbecker hosted our daughter Serena Cappe & Joseph Reynolds wedding nuptials at their elegant Temple Garden site in Whistling Gardens Botanical Gardens. When Serena & Joe shared their exciting news about their engagement, the planning kicked into full swing!

Having a business relationship with Wanda, impressed by her professionalism, she'd shared with me the introduction of their pending Wedding Host stage. When asked by the happy couple for potential locations, it was easy to suggest ...... ‘Whistling Gardens’. I knew we could trust Darren and Wanda to ensure the happy couple's day was memorable and stress free. Serena and Joe were elated to the extent of giddiness, when speaking about their romantic dream Wedding Garden location.

The hosts paid special attention to the smallest of details, leading up to and ensuring the Bride and Grooms day was memorable ie:

  • A Bride's tent was erected prior to the ceremony.
  • Our guests we're personally welcomed to the picture perfect Temple Gardens.
  • Guest with mobility limitations were addressed and assisted to the site.
  • The Musical Fountain display announcing the introduction of Mr and Mrs Reynolds, choreographed and composed by Darren, himself.
All in all, we were very pleased with the service we received from Darren and Wanda. We and all our family and friends will cherish the memories of our children's beautiful wedding. Thank you for sharing in our Children's Wedding dream as they start in their journey in love together." Laurie and Clive Cappe - Parents of the Bride
