From the moment Hannah and Matthew first saw the sun deck at Villa Botanica, they knew it was where their forever would begin. The breathtaking view, paired with the assurance that a wedding planner would take care of everything, sealed the deal instantly.
“We run our own business,” Hannah shared. “If this was my team, it would be bonuses all round!”
That level of admiration reflects just how impressed they were — not only by the venue, but by the professionalism, warmth, and genuine care shown by the Villa Botanica team.
Despite jokingly calling herself “the world’s worst bride”, Hannah admits she did almost nothing in the planning process. Yet thanks to Clara, she felt supported from start to finish.
“Honestly, every moment was perfect. Clara was unbelievable — so kind, even when I probably deserved an eye roll! The food was incredible, the help was amazing, and the fireworks… WOW. Every single part of the day was perfect.”
The biggest surprise?
“I didn’t expect it to be as fun and magical as it was. It was amazing.”
Hannah’s advice for future couples:
“Go the full hog — worth every penny! Clara will exceed your expectations and be so kind about it, even if you don’t manage to do everything she asks (love you, Clara!).”
They encountered some minor stress with the CRM system during the lead-up, but the moment they arrived at Villa Botanica, everything shifted.
“When you’re there, Clara makes it all okay. We had no plan, and yet somehow it felt like we started our lives together so easily because she lined everything up perfectly.”

And despite her earlier worries…
“Yes — Matthew was waiting for me at the end of the aisle. As if he wouldn’t be!”
Final Words From Hannah
“Best day ever! We are so grateful for how much work Clara put into our wedding. I literally did nothing and Clara still smiled and was so kind. If I were her, I would have been frustrated, but she was just so lovely. Clara, you’re a genuine person with a heart for making people’s day truly special. I cannot wait to see your own wedding one day and wish you and your future hubby every happiness!”
