getting married - travelbee trustworthy?

nimo20

we are hoping to get married in January 2013 and have found the perfect package with a company called travelbee.co.uk. I was a bit worried about actually going the whole hog and actually paying a deposit as its a company i am unfamiliar with so im doing my homework first. Has anyone used this company????? :cool:

Travelbee is obviously a small company, but it does have an ATOL licence for 500 passengers, so 250 couples a year. The licence is due to be renewed at the end of September, as are 50% of all licences, so unless it disappears in the next 4 weeks, you would be financially protected if you paid a deposit. Booking three years in advance does seem to be forward planning to an enormous extent and in truth neither flights nor accommodation could realistically be booked by the company at this point because, for example, scheduled airline reservation systems can only book 330 days or so in advance of the date of return.
