The Lodge on Loch Goil
Words will fall short if I am to praise you for everything you have done for The Lodge on Loch Goil over the last 20 years .
However, this won’t stop me from telling you how valuable you have become for us now.
I wish you all the success in life !
Alice Gill has been The Lodge on Loch Goil Events and Wedding planner for the last 20 years.
She has taken the decision to retire and enjoy another path from 2022.
Over the years Alice has devoted herself to The Lodge on Loch Goil and during her time she has organised over 1200 Events and Weddings.
Alice will be greatly missed by the team here and we thank her for all her hard work and dedication over the years.
We are sure many Brides and Grooms that had Alice guide them through their wedding day will agree that Alice truly provided a magical and unique experience to all.
We wish Alice the best of luck in her next chapter.
What our vendors say about Alice
“
Your honesty, enthusiasm, humour and integrity were so evident in our dealing with you– essential characteristics that are lacking today. You were professional in every way and we were privileged to have had you walking our path with us. May we take this moment to wish that you will have many years to enjoy a well earned retirement with all your happy memories.
Don & Jean, Brush Stroke Memories

Alice is the kindest and most supportive wedding coordinator out there. I’ve worked at hundreds of wedding venues over the years and not one individual comes close to her enthusiasm, commitment and passion towards her couples. Every couple that I have photographed has told me how fond they are of Alice and how appreciative they are of her knowledge and genuine care. I will really miss being greeted by Alice upon my arrival. I wish her all the best in the future.

Having worked with Alice for more than ten years I can only describe this, not only of The Lodge but Alice herself as just an amazing magical energetic experience…
What a highly motivated driven lady full of inspiration always striving for the ultimate delivery of customer service, and always created that fulfilling dream for all her clients…

Alice had a brilliant way of making every couple and supplier feel at ease. So much so that the The Lodge feels like a second home for couples (and suppliers!) on their day. Every wedding I have worked at The Lodge has been magical and full of laughter and I can say this has been down to Alice’s hard work and genuine passion for each couples day. She pours 100 % into every wedding, treating each couple like they are the only ones to ever get married there.
After shooting weddings all over the UK (and further!) I have yet to meet anyone who matches Alice’s dedication, warmth and genuine passion for creating a fairytale day.

My experience of working with Alice for over 10 years, The Lodges’ wedding planner is that of a great big hug that makes you feel welcome and relaxed. Knowing everything will run perfectly and with a great deal of enjoyment too. Alice is truly incredible at what she does. She will be missed but her legacy of successful, happy weddings and couples lives on.Good luck Alice and best wishes for your future.

Since the beginning, you’ve been the life of The Lodge. We have seen you through many years being so creative and exceptionally committed to every project, wedding or event taking place at your beautiful venue. Working with patience with every client, bride and also wedding supplier you always represented the highest business ethics. Your professionalism and personal touch was unprecedented. It’s been a blessing to work with you for the last 15 years. We’ve learnt a lot from you Alice. Hope you’ll enjoy every minute of your retirement. We’re really going to miss you, your smile and positive energy.

Alice stands out from almost every wedding planner we work with, she has an eye for detail and exacting standards from start to finish, Alice epitomises the classic swan image, mile a minute behind the scenes and the perfect poised host with the guests. She will be a difficult act to follow but with such an immaculate venue, the groundwork is well set and the team and I wish her the best in the future.

As registrars of Argyll and Bute Council we have worked with Alice for over 14 years at The Lodge on Loch Goil, visiting the venue to conduct wedding ceremonies. Alice is one of a kind, at every wedding she showed that it was a unique occasion and she would put all her energy into making a couples wedding day everything they had ever dreamed of.
Alice, you are an amazing person full of positivity who we are going to miss working alongside at weddings but we wish you all the best in your retirement!

Alice has been an absolute phenomenal person both professionally and personally. Alice’s work ethic, organisational approach to all her couples is really something to behold. Alice has also been an amazing ambassador for my business, she loves what we do and her passion when explaining my work to couples is very humbling. I will miss her terribly but I know whatever is next for this fabulous, amazing and funny force of nature will surely be another big success story. Alice Gill you really are our industry! Pure class my lovely friend.

What some of our customers say about Alice
“
Alice and the whole team were unbelievable and couldn't do enough for us. As we eloped we didn't have family with us, but having Alice and Arlene with us felt like family immediately.

No other word can be used to describe the day than perfection. Alice and the team were on hand at every moment we needed them, not once did we want for anything throughout our day.

Alice, who runs the venue, is a force of nature. From initial contact to departure, her communication, energy and desire for your stay to be perfect is outstanding. Not only does Alice set these high standards for herself, but also all the other vendors that she recommends.

From the minute we first got in touch with Alice, we knew this was the venue for us. Alice made it seem effortless planning our wedding. Weddings have a reputation of being stressful to plan - I did not get stressed for one second! All I had to organise was a cake, hair/make up and outfits for the day - the rest was taken care of by Alice and her team.
Charlotte and Stephen
