| 2009-08-31 | Lenore | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I received a quick and knowledgeable response. I asked friends and family what they would do and got several different answers, which was frustrating me even more. I needed someone outside the family to give me an expert opinion. Thank you so much for your quick reply, I can now resolve this problem. |
| 2009-07-28 | Linda | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you. That really helps! She went above and beyond, so I am going to send her some more, but Im feel better knowing that I did not insult her. |

| 2009-03-22 | Molly | 10 | 9 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank You Gary and Teri. I appreciate the advise very much! Just to answer one of your questions...There is a physical brick memorial being unveiled at the ribbon cutting ceremony. I think it is being dedicated to the fishermen who started the company 50 years ago. I will send you a final copy of the invitation so you can see how it turned out. Thank you again for your time. I am soooo glad I found you! What a great service! |
| 2009-03-21 | Brenda | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks...I would ask your site again. Brenda |

| 2009-02-10 | Stephanie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | That was very helpful. Thank you! I realised I cannot please everyone so I have to do what is proper, right and of course best for the wedding and ourselves as the couple. :) I will speak to the relevant parties so that everyone understands it. Thank you again! |

| 2008-12-31 | Priyanka Pratap | 8 | 7 | 10 | 10 | No | Thanks a lot |
| 2008-12-29 | Marya | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you very much! Your answer was very helpful with the planning and etiquette portion of a wedding that is proving to be a little complicated. My fiance and I will take your advice about sending invitations to those in the US and France, passing along a verbal invite to those we think might want to/be able to attend the other event. |
| 2008-12-18 | Cheryl | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much for such a quick response and for taking your time to answer. Thank you again. Cheryl |
| 2008-11-17 | Jennifer Pearl | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you so much for the reply. I guess I really do know more than I thought as I did research both of the financing options you mentioned. Also, I was thinking of using the space as rentable space instead of a full service space with catering. The client would have to hire a caterer. It is becoming the norm in my area as we have many historical buildings where catering would not be possible on-site. I do like the idea of the vacation though, see what works and what doesnt. I have worked with other planners at historic locations and see how it is run during an event (safety, valuable art care, tenting, ceremony options, etc.) so maybe that would be my next step - coordinating some more of those events would give me some insight into what I will be up against. I just never knew how it was done with others - you hear stories of immigrants coming over and starting up a grocery store - that takes lots of $$ and I just never knew how it was done on a less corporate level. Thanks again and hopefully I will write back in a couple ..... |
| 2008-09-15 | Genny | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I forgot about bees I am allergic to stings. |
| 2008-08-03 | Trish | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | I know what you mean I hated when my friend did that. All she thinks about is herself |
| 2008-08-02 | Trish | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | That really is good for planning |
| 2008-08-02 | Judy | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | THANK YOU!!! that solves a problem |
| 2008-07-31 | Danielle | 8 | 5 | 10 | 10 | No | I already decided to do a destination wedding, I was hoping for advise on wording the invations. |
| 2008-07-21 | Lucrecia | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you for your prompt reply. I appreciate it. |

Expertise
My main specialties are invitations, catering, and banquet locations or in general, wedding receptions. Started as a family business over 75 years ago I now own and operate a catering & banquet facility for over 30 years and have catered small cookout events to large formal ones with everything in between. I even had an event that was attended by the President of the United States. I have been involved with over three thousand weddings and have been told that I have seen and done it all. I must reply almost, because something new always pops up.
Experience
I have preformed almost every service needed at a reception from invitations, hosting and catering the event to photographing, dj and honeymoon plans with the latter being special circumstances. I have worked and hosted weddings up to 750 guest and other functions up to two thousand. With well over 30 years experiance of consulting with brides I have seen much of what works and does not.
I have also been involved with many business and orginizational functions and also have been listed in "Who's Who" business and executive edition.
