“Thank you Avalon for creating such an inventive, affordable & time efficient way of doing a pre-marriage course. I was putting off booking a pre-marriage course because honestly I was very apprehensive at the thoughts of someone preaching to me about how to work my relationship, my marriage and my family. With work commitments and a young family getting the time off together to attend a course would be difficult. After speaking with Dave Kavanagh from Avalon he recommended the DVD pre-marriage course and well what can I say. The course is absolutely genius. We both have fun doing it and after years together we even learnt things about each other because of the workbooks. We done the course in our own time and had fun doing it. The content was down to earth, honest and current.

I cannot recommend the DVD/online course high enough. I would recommend it to everyone.”

Congratulations and well done Avalon.

Thanks, Hazel & Dave McCreery

“Having completed the Avalon programme we wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the experience.  It was very beneficial to be able to watch a DVD in our own home.  We completed the booklets before watching the DVD and the interaction with each other was very amusing and loving especially when we discussed our answers. It was nice to sit down with no distractions and we really felt a close bond with each other when the course was completed.

We would highly recommend this Avalon online marriage course and thanks for sending our certificate so promptly.”
