GETTING WED AT THE ROCK HOTEL

Weddings are an important part of the Rock Hotel's calendar - from the smallest family gathering to a formal wedding breakfast for around one hundred we can guarantee a fabulous day will be had by all.

Organising a wedding can be a daunting task at the best of times but organising a wedding away from home even more so. Rest assured that if you choose Gibraltar and the Rock Hotel for this special occasion we shall make our expertise fully available to you from initial booking stage right through to the senior member of our team who will be at your service throughout the day itself.

With many years of experience behind us we can help you explore all your possible options to ensure that we give you not only a day to remember but one that you feel will be truly yours. We'll co-ordinate all your requirements on the day from transport to photographer from flowers to favours - we've even been known to provide witnesses in the past!

We firmly believe that there is no set formula - your day can be as individual as you are.

There are a number of locations around the hotel, from those that would suit an intimate celebration for the happy couple and a few friends to the largest family celebration. From wisteria covered terraces to a poolside event we've probably got the answer. We can also offer excellent accommodation rates for your guests and in most cases complimentary accommodation for the bride and groom.

Just call, fax or e-mail Toby Tobelem on 00 - 350 200 73000, 00- 350 200 73513 or toby@rockhotel.gi respectively.

"Our wedding and celebration customers say... "   "Dear Toby,  I write to thank you for the valuable contribution you made towards the smooth running of last Saturday's events...the events of the day were a great success.  All the guests I had the opportunity to speak to were extremely complimentary about how well everything had gone.  You can therefore be proud that you were part of the success of this historical day." 27-12-06 The Hon.JJH Gibraltar   "Last month we were fortunate enough to stay at your hotel for a week, during which time we were married at the Anglican Cathedral in Gibraltar.  In connection with the ceremony I had spoken previously to members of your staff, explaining that although no guests would be invited to attend we were enquiring if it would be possible for the hotel to arrange a small selection of refreshments, including a cake, for private celebration.  No doubt you are used to providing such facilities for much larger numbers but we did wonder whether the idea was rather ambitious in our circumstances.  In the event, however, the staff went to considerable trouble to meet our various requests and the whole of our stay, including the actual day, was a great success.   We have already thanked particular members of staff for their help but would like the management to know that we are very grateful for your evident ability to transform a somewhat unlikely situation into such a resounding success.  We clearly selected the right hotel..........." 19-12-06 Mr and Mrs R Herts   "...After the wedding reception we returned with many friends and sat in the bar till late..everyone said how lovely it was and how they hope to come back one day and stay at the Rock.  We will be back. 09-11-06 Mr and Mrs LS UK    "Very many thanks for facilitating the dinner arrangements at the Rock on the 30th last.  As always, a pleasure to dine at the Rock - an oasis of calm and good grace with delicious food.  It proved a great success with much laughter etc.  With my gratitude and all good wishes". 09-11-06 AL Gibraltar   "Thank you for all your help in making our wedding reception perfect.  Everything was lovely and everyone thought the food was excellent.  Please pass on all our thanks to everyone involved including Stacey on reception...We are very grateful to everyone involved in making our stay so wonderful." 03-11-06  Mr and Mrs L UK   "Dear Stephen, I am writing to thank you and all the staff at the Rock Hotel for the wonderful party you organised for my birthday.  Words cannot describe the way Toby behaved he was a real hero!...Modesty apart most of Gibraltar is talking about the party and saying what a big success it was.  Once again many thanks for all your help..." 01-11-06 Mr SL Gibraltar    "Dear Toby, Sorry it's late but G and I wanted to say thank you for helping make our day so wonderful.  We had such a well organised event and that  was down to you...Good luck with all your future weddings and hope they are as good as ours!" 25-10-06 N & G UK    "Re: G and D's wedding reception ...Just wanted to say thank you for providing an excellent atmosphere and such excellent service at the Rock Hotel.  This of course was so important to G and D who wanted everything to go without any hiccups!  So I would like to let you know that the whole day was perfect from start to finish!  The presentation of the food was wonderful, the food was superb, the service was perfect! What more can I say, but congratulations to a wonderfully co-ordinated day and thanks to you all." 09-10-06 LO Gibraltar   "Toby and Nina, I would just like to send you my thanks for taking so much care of the Bar Council last Friday.  I was very impressed with the care and attention given to the smallest detail.  Everything went so smoothly and the food was delicious.  Thank you again for all the help you gave me with the late comers - I very much appreciated it." 09-10-06 MB Gibraltar    "We had a wonderful time in Gibraltar and will never forget the experience of getting married there...  The wedding breakfast at the Rock was lovely, the manager attended us and the food was excellent.... The Rock Hotel was lovely, the breakfasts plentiful and the room clean and the air-conditioning was very welcome as they were having a heat wave at the time!.." 04-10-06 A&CL  UK    "I can honestly say that the week could not have gone any better.  Everyone said it was fantastic and P and I were so pleased with everything.  The weather was gorgeous too, thank goodness!  One guest told me it was, "a few days of uncomplicated happiness!".  We could really not have asked for more and can certainly recommend our wedding package to any future brides and grooms to be..... Thanks also to the Rock Hotel for the fabulous food and hospitality..." 04-10-06 Mr and Mrs LR UK    "Just a note to tell you that our twelve night stay in your hotel was absolutely wonderful, it cannot be faulted.  Your staff, from the pool side to restaurant to reception to house maids did a fantastic job.  As for the wedding of my daughter - I have never been to a reception that was as professional and outstanding as the one laid on by Toby and all his staff that worked so hard.  Please convey my thanks to all concerned, especially Toby who has been so helpful since our first visit to see him 2 years ago.  I will make sure to let people know that the Rock Hotel is without doubt the most prestigious and friendliest hotel on the Rock." 29-09-06 VL and SD UK   "To all of the staff at the Rock Hotel.  Thank you for making our stay and our first anniversary so memorable. Thank you also for the champagne and anniversary card - a lovely touch which was so very much appreciated. A big thank you to the barman who always remembers us.  It is little things like this that really stand out and why we chose your hotel for our marriage in the first place.  Once again, thank you to everyone who contributed to making our stay as wonderful as ever.  Very best wishes to you all." 25-09-06 Mr and Mrs T UK   "Dear Toby, We would like to congratulate your staff and you for all your professional work...everyone including the Swiss journalists were very pleased with the food, dessert, drinks and service.  Well done to all." 15-09-06 Mrs MP Gibraltar   "Dear Toby,  We would like to thank yourself and all the staff at the Rock Hotel for making our wedding day and our stay in Gibraltar so special and unforgettable.  The reception room looked absolutely lovely and the food was delicious.  All the staff were very polite, friendly and helpful, so please thank them all on our behalf.  All of our guests had a brilliant time and we would highly recommend the Rock Hotel as the perfect venue for a wedding reception.  Once again, many thanks and hopefully we'll be back soon, perhaps for our first wedding anniversary!" 12-09-06 Mr and Mrs GW Spain   "Dear Toby, Just a quickie to thank you for all your help with organising my daughter's wedding...I thought the day went really well and it showed the Rock in all its splendour.  Your guiding influence was invaluable and your staff were a credit to you.  What impressed me most was the fact that their presence went unnoticed whilst their efficiency left absolutely nothing to be desired...Thanks again for everything you did". 12-09-06 Mr PJ UK   "Toby, I wish, once more, to thank you, and all of your staff, for making a perfect occasion for my son and daughter in law.  Everything, from the planning stage through to the end of a fantastic day was handled so professionally.  The setting was idyllic, the food and service first class, and your quiet organisation much appreciated.  On behalf of a large contingent of guests who stayed at the hotel for the occasion, I must also thank you for an extremely pleasant time.  Without exception, everyone was complimentary about their stay...I will recommend the Rock Hotel at every opportunity.  Thank you once again." 31-08-06 Mr RB UK    "Toby, we wanted to write to thank you and your team for making our wedding day and our stay at the Rock so very special.  We, and our family and friends were made to feel very welcome.  The Wisteria Room was such a wonderful venue for our ceremony and for our wedding breakfast.  The meal was delicious and so well presented and the team on hand were extremely attentive, whilst remaining unobtrusive....thanks to you and your team our wedding day was even better than we could have imagined." Mr and Mrs H UK   "We have just arrived back in the Algarve, but felt I should write to thank you for giving us such a fantastic wedding.  Everything was so much better than I ever expected and ran like clockwork.  Every one of our 16 guests thought the hotel, the food and the whole wedding package was superb and I think you will see some of us again very shortly.  One of our guests is already planning to come for Christmas and New Year.  Having never organised a wedding before I couldn't have believed it would have seemed so easy. But that is all thanks to you both and your fine hotel.  My sincere thanks again to the Rock Hotel and your great staff."  Mrs GH Portugal   "We came to stay here for our first wedding anniversary.  We stayed here in July 2005 and loved it so much.  We want to come every year if finances allow!!!  Thank you so much, we really enjoyed ourselves." Mr and Mrs S Cambridge   "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the exceptional hospitality shown to my family, as well as myself, during our recent stay at the Rock Hotel. It certainly was a most delightful weekend for us all. The co-ordination and professionalism exercised by your catering staff at my son's christening celebration can only be described as superb; this, coupled with the excellent cuisine made the event all the more enjoyable. Please give a special "Thank You" to Toby and to Alfred, and also to the housekeeping department, reception, bar staff and anyone else who may have contributed to what for me (and for my family) has been a most memorable occasion." MV Barcelona   "Dear Toby, Thank you once again for organising such a pleasant and delightful dinner last week. The host and all the guests enjoyed the food and the venue tremendously...." JDH Gibraltar   "Toby, we wanted to write to thank you and your team for making our wedding day and our stay at the Rock so very special. We, and our family and friends were made to feel very welcome. The Wisteria Room was such a wonderful venue for our ceremony and for our wedding breakfast. The meal was delicious and so well presented and the team on hand were extremely attentive, whilst remaining unobtrusive....thanks to you and your team our wedding day was even better than we could have imagined." Mr and Mrs H UK   " Dear Toby, We recall you telling us a few months ago that our wedding day would be a great success. Actually, the day was better than we could ever have envisaged, and you were the single cause. Words fail to record just how grateful we are for your total support and the manner in which you and your team looked after us both on the day and during our delightful stay in the Rock Hotel...... " P&S I Hants   " Please accept our sincere thanks for the excellent support your staff provided to S and myself at our recent wedding. From start to finish the service was faultless and we have nothing but the highest praise for the Rock Hotel....Toby took complete charge of the wedding breakfast, although his light touch enabled our guests to thoroughly enjoy themselves whilst his team provided an excellent and friendly service.....Our guests are completely sold on Gibraltar and the Rock Hotel and I'm sure you will see some of them in the future. We embark upon our marriage with the fondest of wedding memories, and we are again extremely grateful for your support. " Cmdr. and Mrs P I Hampshire   " Dear Toby....Making arrangements to hold and celebrate the wedding so far away from the UK was quite a difficult task......however, from our first telephone conversation, your excellent information pack, prompt e-mails, patience and your excellent advice we knew we could trust you to create a memorable wedding celebration. We all enjoyed the day thoroughly. The Wisteria Room was an excellent choice for us , as was the wedding breakfast. Your staff gave excellent service and we are particularly grateful to you for acting as toast master...we shall look forward to seeing you and all our friends in Gibraltar on our next visit. " Mr and Mrs DH UK   " Dear Toby... I take this opportunity to thank you personally for the arrangements you made for the wedding reception, and congratulate your staff on what turned out to be an excellent evening enjoyed by all. The meal and the service in the restaurant were truly excellent and the service in the lobby equally so. Again, many thanks to you and your staff. " Mr CF Gibraltar   " On behalf of both of us, our family and all our friends who attended our wedding we wanted to say thank you very much for everything. The whole day was absolutely perfect. There were a few hitches (ie with the taxi!) but what's a wedding without a few mishaps!!! Thank you to both Toby and Nina for being so welcoming and helping out with all of the wedding plans for the day, especially the table decorations as they were perfect. All the staff at the Rock Hotel did a fantastic job on the day and during our stay at the Rock Hotel. Everytime we stay at the hotel we are more and more impressed and it really does feel like a second home to us. Our dream wedding was fulfilled at the Rock and thanks to everyone for their help in making this possible. Everyone who attended had a fantastic time. We will definitely be coming back to the hotel for our anniversary next year and look forward to seeing you all then. " Mr and Mrs L Peterborough   " On behalf of my wife, P and N we would like to express our great appreciation for the great success of our reception at the pool on Sunday. It was a wonderful evening which was enjoyed by all present, this was no doubt due to the great effort of yourself, Toby and all the staff. The general comment of those present was that they could not understand how local people organised their receptions in Spain when we had this wonderful venue, service and quality on our doorstep. Once again many thanks. " Mr P Gibraltar   " We would like to thank you so much for making our September 2nd wedding breakfast a very special event.. We were pleased that you recommended the use of the wisteria room. The table setting was beautiful, more so than I ever imagined. We were very comfortable in there for several hours. The food was excellent and the waiting staff were very polite and not at all obtrusive. Altogether our family enjoyed themselves immensely. We are so appreciative of the memories we have of the entire weekend " Mr and Mrs H UK   " F and I are writing to thank you and your staff for providing the most wonderful setting for our recent marriage. It was a day we will never forget, for absolutely the right reasons! All our guests were extremely impressed with the way they were treated and one of our guests is seriously considering the Rock as the venue for their offspring's upcoming nuptials. Will you please pass on our thanks to all the staff as their attentions and efforts played a significant part in the success of the day. " Mr and Mrs L Gibraltar   " Hi Nina, I thought I would drop you a line now I'm back in the office to thank you for making our wedding day so memorable. I am sending special thanks to yourself, Toby and Dennis for your outstanding professionalism, great guest service skills and your unparalleled flair for attention to detail!! Indeed the entire team at the Rock made both myself - and my entire family feel very welcome. We noticed that there were several other weddings taking place last week - yet at no point did we feel that we were just one amongst a number of bookings. Your attentive staff ensured we felt very special and helped bring a touch of magic to our special day. I would not normally be so effusive in my praise but I truly believe you deserve a well earned pat on the back! We look forward to spending our anniversaries with you for many years to come and I will have no hesitation in recommending you to friends, family and business contacts alike. Once again, thank you for all your assistance - please pass on our heartfelt thanks to everyone!! " Mrs MB Lancashire   " Just a quick note to say thank you so much for your attention to detail during our stay and marriage this week. Your staff put on a wonderful wedding breakfast and your reception and hair salon staff went well beyond the call of duty to aid our day smoothly. Please extend my thanks to all your staff. My special day was all the more memorable because of your staff kindness. We have decided to make an annual visit to your hotel on our anniversary and will definitely recommend your hotel to others. " Mrs AA Staffs   " Dear Toby, Just a note to say thank you very much indeed to you and all your staff for making our wedding a very special day for both of us, our family and friends. We thought you might like the enclosed photo as we think it perfectly captures the feel of the wedding and the wonderful time we spent at the Rock Hotel. We hope to see you again on the occasion of our first anniversary! " Mr and Mrs LM UK   " We would like to thank the Rock Hotel for its effort on my brother's wedding. He and his new wife had a fantastic stay and were full of praise for the service they received. He particularly wanted to single out the following people for thanks: Moira - who put herself out to make sure every arrangement went smoothly and to accommodate last minute requests - even from home during the weekend. It was much appreciated. Adbullah - who came in early to prepare the requested cocktails for the post-wedding at the hotel. Again, it was much appreciated. Toby - who did an excellent job accommodating the arrangements for the post-wedding party and evening banquet in the dining room. This helped make a potentially stressful day very relaxed. Yet again, much appreciated. " SK UK
