About Us
Perfect Gay Honeymoons was launched shortly after the introduction of the Civil Partnership Act in
December 2005, offering a high standard of civil partnership abroad and honeymoon services to gay
and lesbian couples. Initially the company offered same-sex couples the opportunity to book luxury
honeymoons and to ensure they receive all the frills a honeymoon couple deserve on their special trip
away. The company has since introduced its civil partnerships and commitment ceremonies abroad
programme with an ever-expanding portfolio of locations.

In 2006, in conjunction with its partner 'Perfect Weddings & Honeymoons', it was awarded the accolade of
Midlands Weekly Media Small Business of the Year. In 2007 the company gained recognition for the first time
in the UK Travel Industry by having two nominations in the TTG Awards 'Specialist Agent' and 'Young Agent'
categories. Then in 2008 as the company has begun to grow, it went on to win 'Most Innovative Agency' at the
Midland Travel Trade Ball, and was a finalist in the 'Customer Service Award 2008' for the Midlands.

In Autumn 2008 Directors Danny Waine and Helen Doyle won the 'TTG Big Idea'; a Dragons Den-style
competition, securing a £100,000 private investment from four of the UK's most successful travel
entrepreneurs. This has enabled the company to expand its agency side of the business Perfect
Gay Honeymoons, as well as to launch in 2009, 'Perfect Weddings Abroad', the UK's first weddings
& civil partnerships abroad specialist tour operator; leading to the launch of two new websites and the
company's first weddings and civil partnerships abroad brochure in early 2009.
The company prides itself on high levels of service, innovation and benefits from the diversity,
creativity and experience that its staff brings. Couples and guests from across the UK book via
the company's website or call centre; whilst many Midlands-based couples prefer to visit the
business' main retail premises in person, based in Staffordshire. There are also exhibitions, such
as the National Wedding Show at Birmingham NEC where the company meets UK couples, and is already
planning it's own Perfect Weddings Abroad Roadshows in select locations across the country for
next year.
