Hi Michele,
     Thank you so much for delivering the Thank You Cards to my house. They are PERFECT!!!!
      I really appreciate absolutely everything that you have done for Micheal and I and my parents. I don’t know what we would have done without you. You work so hard for every single wedding that you help with and I hope that each bride appreciates you for your talent and wisdom as much as I did and still do. You help make dreams come true…what a great job!!
      Thanks again and I look forward to ordering invitations, announcements, etc. from you guys in the future. Have a great day!

Michele and Melanie,
     Thank you so very much for your generosity and your time. Missy's wedding day will be a much more memorable day for her as she reflects upon it.
     Your expertise in planning was very insightful for me. I only now can appreciate just how important the presence of the wedding coordinator really is ...
     With many thanks ...
                                             Sincerely,

Michele,
     This is long overdue, but I want to thank you so much for everything you did to make my wedding a success! You are great in a crisis...can you believe there was a power outage? Thank you for keeping things under control and sending someone for the generator! Everyone says they will always remember my wedding, not just for the temporary lack of lights, but for such a wonderful evening! My mom and I always talk about how we couldn't have done it without you. We would have had no idea what to do during a power outage! Thanks for everything! Dan and I are doing well and hope you and everyone at Bridal Potpourri are as well.

Dear Kate,
     Kate, I just wanted to say that we got the fans, and they were a hit. The church was a little warm (not as hot as it could have been at noon in August in Florida) and people were truly able to use the fans. They also thought it was a wonderful idea. I am so glad that I found your company because I have seen other fans at weddings before, but they did not have the class that yours had. The fans really helped set the tone for a lovely afternoon. Thanks for doing everything you could, from working with the clip art and trying to get the watermark just right, to making sure that we got the fans in a timely manner without being over charged. We appreciate it all and will try to think of another way in which I can support your business because it was such a pleasure. Cheers!

Dear Kate,
     Just wanted to thank you for all that you did to make our wedding wonderful. You were a huge help. I know that my parents and I would not have made it through without you. Thanks so much!

Dear Michele,
     Thank you a million, billion times. From the moment I stepped into Bridal Potpourri, it was like a weight (make that several weights) lifted off my shoulders. So many people told Chris, me, and our families our wedding was the best one they'd ever been to, and while they gave the credit to us, we know where it's due. Your thoughtfulness, patience, advice, and honesty just made so many things look great and appear effortless. Melanie, Andrea and you are worth your weight in platinum. All of us had a wonderful time, and we hope you enjoyed it too. P.S. Please thank Erica as well.
                                             Warmest Regards,
                                             Kate Sodini Gallagher

Dear Kate,
     I just wanted to thank you for your superb service planning Brooke's wedding. Bridal Potpourri came highly recommended to me, and I'm delighted to say that person was accurate.
     Living in Delaware, it was important to find someone to line up reputable vendors and be there to advise my daughter while I was 600 miles away. I thank you for helping her choose lovely invitations and guest favors, and having them shipped to Delaware. All the vendors you recommended - DJ, florist, photographer, limo service, seamstress, even the hair salon - were cooperative and professional and delivered their services exactly as promised. But Kate, the most important contribution Bridal Potpourri made to ensure a perfect wedding was to find a wonderful church to exchange their vows. We gave you a budget and a list of wishes, and they all came true.
     Until someone begins to plan a wedding, they have no idea of all the tiny details involved. I'll never regret the cost of your services, because it was worth every cent and more. Having your calm attention at the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception kept things running smoothly, and kept us together! Of course Bridal Potpourri was always professional, but it was more than that; you were very conscientious that we were trying to give our daughter the most special day of her life and did everything you could to make that day happen.
     Thank you again for all of your time and patience with our family.                                                                            Sincerely,
                                               Tracy Solloway

Dear Michele,
Thank you for helping us pull off an absolutely flawless day. Everything was gorgeous, and planned perfectly. We are just now getting settled again and getting some pictures organized. We will email you some of the digital ones and send you a few from Hockinsmith.
                                               Thanks again ,
                                               Kate and Shane Sablotsky

Dear Karrol,
We wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the beautiful flower arrangements you made for Suzanne and Brian's wedding. The special urns, silver bowls and choice of flowers and greenery were just perfect for the occasion. Suzanne absolutely loved her bridal bouquet -- we all marveled at how beautiful it was! You are truly gifted with flowers and we'll always remember the flowers along with our memories of that day.
                                               Sincerely,
                                               Sandy and Wayne Lybarger
                                               Suzanne and Brian Janes

Dear Michele,
Thank you so much for helping to make the wedding of my dreams possible. You made the whole experience less stressful and more fun. Thank you for listening, understanding, and calming all of my fears. I truly feel blessed to have your help and friendship.

I would definately recommend your services any time!
                                                  Sincerely,

     I want to thank you for helping me pull off a beautiful wedding. It calmed my nerves a great deal having you there that day. Tell Karrol thank you for me, too. She seems like a wonderful person and seemed to go the extra mile to make things nice.
                                            Sincerely,

Dear Michele,
     Thank you so much for all your hard work and efforts in putting together our "Save the Date" packages. It was a huge success! Drew and I loved the brochure and are so pleased with the outcome. Not only were we delighted, but everyone who received them. I cannot tell you the number of compliments we have received. Thank you again and hope to meet you in person when we visit Lexington.
                                           Sincerely, Bryn and Drew 

Dear Michele,
     Thank you! Thank you! You and Karrol made our wedding such an enjoyable experience. My family and I were able to relax knowing that the "details" were in very capable hands. Not only was hiring a consultant one of the best wedding decisions I made, but utilizing you to handle all of the stationery needs was a tremendous help. I know that your job is often stressful and frustrating, but I hope rewarding too. You are very good at what you do! I look forward to continuing to see you for all of my stationery needs! I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
                                           Sincerely, Tricia Henry Mitcham
