Pauline & James - Aug 2008
To the Wedding Gifts Direct Team,
Thank you all so so much for all of your hard work in delivering such a wonderful service.
There are so many things to think about when you are preparing for your wedding, so it was so nice to find a website that allowed us to do all of our shopping from our living room....how good is that?!!! :o)
There was such a huge and wonderful range of gifts to choose from and, once registered, the service was lovely.
We really appreciated your calls to let us know what the next steps were and to guide us through the process.
Before finding Wedding Gifts Direct, we tried Myers, David Jones and even Peter's of Kensington, but none of them allowed us the flexibility that the Wedding Gifts Direct solution offered.
It was very important for us to find a solution for overseas guests since our wedding was in Ireland and our guests were from all corners of the globe. Wedding Gifts Direct was the perfect choice with a sercure online payment section!!
Receiving our beautifully wrapped gifts was wonderful. It was like ten Christmas's coming all at once! Cracking open a bottle of champagne, we toasted yet again to our new life together!!
Thank you so much for everything.
It is a truly wonderful service!
A very happy Pauline & James :o)

Wil & Lawrence - Mar 2008
Instead of us having to write down every item name, description, code and spend hours walking the floors of a store, we were able to spend a few hours at the showroom and make the majority of our gift selections. This was a huge timesaver and a much more relaxed way of selecting - it was like having a personal shopper!
Our international guests found the currency conversion easy to use and we also liked the way bigger items were broken down into 'shares' so that our friends could contribute to a generous gift.

Alison and Andy - Jan 2008
With so many of our friends and family living overseas, Wedding Gifts Direct proved to be a positve aspect of our wedding, as it was easy and convenient for them to purchase wedding presents online. We also moved overseas, to Papua New Guinea, straight after our wedding, and were comforted by the service received in the delivery of our gifts.

Tina & Arron - Dec 2007
You can't imagine how excited we were to receive and open our gifts! Thank you Wedding Gifts Direct for all your help, advice and personal service.
I did some research on Bridal Registries available before we signed up to yours. I am happy that we decided to go with you! It was a pleasure going through your extensive merchandise range and really convenient to set up-- from my bedroom! It doesn't get easier than this! I have to add, it made things easier for family and friends overseas, who couldn't make it to the wedding, but still wanted to give us a wedding present.

Erin & Brett - Sep 2007
Considering our wedding was abroad and we had over 250 guests from four different continents, the issue of what to do about wedding gifts quickly became a worrying dilemma. Once we discovered Exclusive Touch (now Wedding Gifts Direct) online, we immediately knew we had found the perfect solution. Our guests were all able to view and purchase beautiful gifts without having to pay for exorbitant shipping costs. Their prices were extremely competitive and the site was very easy to maneuver. Everyone loved it!
Catherine and Mary were an absolute joy to work with. Every time I called they were so pleasant and accommodating. They kindly responded to every single request and even listed all the gifts in both AU dollars and US dollars (to accommodate our numerous American guests). I would highly recommend Exclusive Touch (WGD) to any couple getting married abroad or just looking to avoid the hassles of department store registries. We couldn't be happier with their service!"

Emma & Daniel - Jun 2007
When I was asked me for a testimonial from a male's point of view, I was more than willing to help. Why? Because a service like Wedding Gifts Direct is so much easier than walking around a department store checking barcodes (and what guy wants to spend half a day doing that!). It really is as easy as going into Wedding Gifts Direct, sitting down with a beer and checking out the showroom. Then it's just a matter of logging on and adding to your list online at anytime - you can even add things you actually want, when the other half isn't looking.

Gopala & Jacob - Mar 2007
The girls at Wedding Gifts Direct have been fantastic, making everything so easy for us in our busy schedule. We booked our honeymoon through their travel agent and selected several gift items as well. The hotel was fantastic - amazing room, amazing views and a special thanks to your Honeymoon Specialist for all her help. The selecting of gifts was effortless, quick and fun, thanks so much to our bridal consultant for understanding and tailoring our registry to our needs and for making it an enjoyable experience. We can't wait to see our presents and are very excited. We would recommend Wedding Gifts Direct
to any new bride and groom to be.

Ada Nicodemou & Chrys Xipolitas - Feb 2007
Sue Robson from Wedding Gifts Direct took us through our Bridal Registry and she made it a fun, easy and quick process. We heard that organising your Bridal Registry would be challenging but our experience at Wedding Gifts Direct has been one of the best parts of organising our Wedding. We felt naughtly picking out so many beautiful things and not having to pay for it!.... Ada Nicodomou & Chrys Xipolitos

Jen & Ben - Feb 2007
The Wedding Gifts Direct team were fantastic from day one. From the initial phone call, which was a blessing when we had a million things to do, they made putting together our Gift Registry easy and fun, you can't really go wrong with a glass of champagne and a beer! Not to mention lots of fantastic advice. I think we would have lost it walking around a department store for hours, or days on end!!! With our wedding being held out of Sydney and all our guests travelling interstate if not from overseas, the whole process was made much more simple and convenient. It made organising our gift registry the pleasure it should be. We have a few friends getting married in the upcoming months and we will definitely be recommending Wedding Gifts Direct. Thanks guys!!!

MIX 106.5 ‘Sammy and Subby in the Morning’ talk about Wedding Gifts Direct - Feb 2007
I just thought Wow! One of the wedding gifts they have is a Jet Fighter Strike Mission for $2749. You fly at 7000 feet at G Force speed, which is like asking the father if you can have the hand I imagine, and then you do a strike mission loop, roll, pitch, turn 30 degrees at break back speed as you commence a tactical approach to your strike target area, then climb again to finish in a diving bomb to the ground! That’s the Jet Fighter Strike Mission. Wouldn’t that be great! Or you can go horse back riding or scuba diving. Just interesting, interesting presents… (Sammy Power)

Wedding Gifts Direct has been such a professional and easy service. Nothing is a problem for the girls at Weddings Gifts Direct. The range is great, service second to none and the ease of it all is so refreshing. Thank you to everyone at Wedding Gifts Direct – you helped make our wedding stress free and easy. I could not recommend you enough!

Lauren & Paul - Nov 2006
We can’t thank Wedding Gifts Direct enough for providing such a wonderful service. There was no way I was going to get my fiancé to treck around a department store writing down barcodes. They offered such great practical advice about the number of items, the range of gifts and we loved the option of breaking big gifts into shares. It was also great to be able to amend our choices both before and after the wedding day. Our guests (particularly those interstate) commented how easy it was to purchase gifts without having to find a store close to them. All in all, the service and experience was amazing - I can't imagine doing it any other way and recommend it to everyone!

Fiona & Colin - Nov 2006
I was searching for awhile to figure out what way would be best to organise our bridal registry. I am very busy and couldn't stand the thought of dragging my future husband around a Department store to write down all the things we liked. Our Bridal consultant helped me set everything up with ease over the phone in a few short phone calls and then via email. I could sit at home with the convenience of browsing the products over the internet in peace and quiet. My partner and I could pick everything from there and then so easily add it to our list with the slick of the mouse. I would highly recommend their service. You won't be disappointed. They are professional, have amazing presentation and are so friendly to deal with. Thanks to all the team at Wedding gifts Direct for all your help.

Thank you, Julia and Matthew

Rebecca & Chris - Jul 2006
I cannot recommend Wedding Gifts Direct enough - they turned our gift selection process from a nightmare to a very enjoyable experience. We spent half a day in a department store, individually writing down each item and ended up with only 5 on our list, before giving up entirely.
Our consultant was so helpful, instead of rumaging through stock trying to match up valances with fitted sheets and gravy boats with dinner sets, she gave us ideas and set it up right before our eyes. It is such a great concept and full credit to our consultant and her team. Thank you for providing one less headache in the world of wedding planning!
Thank you
Rebecca & Chris

Nicola & Owen - Jul 2006
To You All at Wedding Gifts Direct!
Thank you so much for your wonderful and friendly service at all stages of the gift list process! It started well with beer and champagne, continued with regular emails and finished with beautifully wrapped presents on our lounge room floor. It felt like Christmas morning as we opened all our gifts!
Thank you for all you have done, we will certainly recommend your service to others.

Kristy & Matthew - Jul 2006
We would also like to thank you so much for all of your help. You have made the whole process so much easier and a lot of fun. After we had spent 3 hours at a department store and ended up with only 15 items (and a couple of "discussions" along the way) we were so relieved to find another option. Its been so convenient to be able to work online.
Thanks again!

Kate & Dave - May 2006
Wedding Gifts Direct made our registry experience an absolute pleasure. Having already invested several hours in a department store and made very little progress we approached Wedding Gifts Direct and completed our whole registry in under two hours!
Given how much my husband hated traipsing around the department store it was a great surprise, that he thoroughly enjoyed the Wedding Gifts Direct experience, especially the offer of a beer on arrival at the Balmain showroom!
Many of our guests commented on how user-friendly the website is and they took advantage of being able to buy shares in the more expensive gifts. The range of gifts available is excellent and it was impressive that we were able to specifically request certain items to be added to the product list if they were not previously listed. Being able to review and change the registry list after the wedding was really useful as several of the guests who didn't check the registry bought us registry items, resulting in a double up.
All in all, I highly recommend Wedding Gifts Direct for friendly, hassle-free registry service.

Michelle & Damien - May 2006
My fiance absolutely hates shopping and I was dreading visiting the department stores with him to set up a gift registry. Spending hours trapped in a department store with a pen and paper would be stressful enough but to be trapped with someone who becomes instantly claustrophobic in a shopping environment would be a nightmare!
Meeting you at the Bridal Expo was such a relief! Thank you so much for taking the stress out of setting up our wedding gift registry.
We enjoyed our experience so much that we have recommended you to friends who have since set up their registry with you.
Warmest regards,
Michelle

Nicole & Ben - Aug 2005
Thank you so much, I cannot stop raving about your service. Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved. The presentation of the gift wrapping was superb, we could tell how much time and effort went into wrapping each gift and all the background work that is needed to run such a Company.
Best wishes for the future, I know you will do well.
Kind regards,
Nicole (and Ben!)

Le Roy & Susan - May 2005
To the team at Wedding Gifts Direct...
What a great experience dealing with you for our wedding gift registry. Before finding your website we had started a registry at one of the department stores, and were finding it a trying experience: walking around with a clipboard, trying to write down 13 digit codes, prices and descriptions of what we liked, only to find half the items didnt even have a price/code sticker on them, and elements of every range were missing. The task seemed impossible, and the thought of our guests having to go through similar torture was worrying. As soon as we saw your website and understood your business concept we knew it was the ideal solution. What a contrasting experience on every level: efficiency, professionalism, a can-do attitude, pleasing environment, complete ranges, expert advice. What more can we say: it was hassle free, and our guests commented on how easy the process was for them.
Thanks for treating us so well.
Le Roy and Susan

Paula & Nathan - Apr 2005
The thought of dragging my fiance around a department store for hours whilst we picked gift options was not a pleasant one.
Wedding Gifts Direct made the whole experience so easy, even he enjoyed it. The gorgeous showroom, wide gift selection and fabulous service made the wedding registry one of the few things I did not have to worry about. All of our guests both locally and overseas commented on how simple the whole process was, the convenience of being able to view and purchase gifts online was essential.
I would recommend Wedding Gifts Direct without hesitation and can not thank the girls enough for sourcing and providing all of our stunning gifts.

Wedding Gifts Direct should be the only way to set-up a gift registry. The whole experience is amazingly easy, flexible and fun ~ exactly how it should be for a couple planning their big day and a total contrast to trying to set one up with a department store. Many of our guests commented on the brilliant service and we couldn’t agree more.
