Testimonials
The following are a selection of comments received from couples who have used The Bottom Drawer's alternative wedding gift list service.
"We would like to thank you and the BottomDrawer Team for providing the service for us. As we live abroad it was very difficult for us to select a wedding list, as we didn’t want to use a UK store and ship everything out, nor did we want to select a Hong Kong store and have everyone confused by the prices or worried about exchange rates. The BottomDrawer concept therefore suited us perfectly, as we could include staple items from the home brands like John Lewis, but also include items we would like to by out here from stores like Shanghai Tang. We also appreciated the flexibility of being able to list some of our honeymoon activities such as the game fishing that we couldn’t have included with other services. We would also like to thank you for your time in clarifying our questions in the early stage of our decision process. As you know we were quite concerned about the mechanics of a cash based wedding list within the context of the issues surrounding the stability of other wedding list sites. We were reassured by your answers and appreciated you taking the time to respond in detail to us. Many thanks again." Caragh & Ben, Hong Kong

The other benefit for us has been the fact that we have been able to order things as we need them and indeed having now lived together for 6 months there are other things we now find we don't need so have the money to spend on other things.

“I can honestly say that I have found the whole Bottom Drawer experience a real pleasure! Your customer service is exemplary - I have had same day replies for many of my queries (and I had a fair few!), and all other queries have been answered by the following day. I was impressed that you took the time to find alternative suppliers when the original ones did not wish to take on the job (I think the state of our garden must have put them off!). I found setting up of the wedding list page very easy, and was pleased with the end result. I was also nicely surprised by the fact that you emailed me every time a gift was purchased - it was really exciting to see an email from you, and then to log in to see who had bought the present! I got quite hooked on the whole experience!” Samantha & Nick, Caddington
“Thank you for all your assistance with our wedding gift list. We found it very easy to use and had a lot of good feedback from our guests who enjoyed the change from the more common gift lists.

“Thank you very much for sorting that out for us. We thought it was great to be able to effectively get money as a gift but with our guests knowing exactly what it had gone to. We had loads of compliments for the gift list saying how imaginative it was and over all a great idea. I have given your detail to few couples we know are getting married in the future and I am sure you will be hearing from them.” Fay & Glen, Morden
