Recommendation from Work Event

Recently I coordinated a meeting at work with over 30 attendes. Dr. Delacy Ganley had these kind words to say....

Ann, boy oh boy do you do a good job in terms of inviting, making sure people know where they are going, making sure the name tags are ready, etc. The meeting was well attended and this is a testament to your relationship-building and logistical skills. The welcome table looked great and the food was divine. Well done!!!

Thank you to all who attended and enjoyed the event, it isn't every day you can say you enjoy going to a meeting!

Recommendation from Ruby and Jay


A big congrads again to Ruby and Jay! Thank you so much for letting me chare your special day. I wanted to share Ruby's kind words with everyone...

I wanted to send a HUGE thank you to you! Jay and I were fully able to enjoy our day and our guests because of you. I can honestly say that I felt completely confident in leaving things in your hands. You and your sister were working so hard-- always on the move! You were able to handle our very large wedding party effortlessly, especially at the church when everyone had to get their flowers and line up. I was also glad to see you right before my walk down the isle-- that breath mint really calmed my nerves :). The reception was decorated perfectly! Thank you for executing the vision in my head. You were so thoughtful in making sure we had something to eat even before the reception started. As the night progressed, you always kept us on schedule, and also worked our crowd into signing our guestbook! Nice! At the end of the night, we really appreciated all the clean-up you had to do. I know that there were tons of votives to pack up and those tall centerpieces were immensely heavy! Last but not least, we were ever so delighted to have a meal and two pieces of our wedding cake waiting for us in our room! I was also amazed at how organized things were when you packed everything for us at the end of the night. (You and I just love organization)

You also made quite an impression on the family! They really loved you and told me that hiring you was the best idea ever :)

The wedding planning process was an incredible journey. Thank you for tolerating my neurosis, insanely long emails, nit-picky timeline, and all our phone conferences.If there were any issues at all, I don't know about them, because you were there. Thank you for doing your job with such grace and ease. It really shows you like wedding planning! It would be my pleasure to be a reference for your potential clients.

Sincerely,
Ruby

Words of Thanks...







I wanted to share a wonderful thank you letter I received from one of my recent brides, Kelli, who has a gorgeous wedding in Temecula several weeks ago:

Hi Ann,
We are back from the honeymoon and rested up now, so I just wanted to take some time to thank you for everything you did for us! You did such an amazing job and it was such a relief having you there and knowing that everything was taken care of.

Everything, with the exception of the DJ (which was beyond your control) went perfect and it was all because you were behind the scenes, making sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to do. I was actually able to eat my dinner, dance and enjoy my own wedding, which alot of brides don't get to do because they are so worried about everything! And thank you for packing everything up for us as well! It was nice just to be able to leave and get back to our room because we were pretty tired! And it was was so awesome that you saved us some food and cake and put it in the room because we were sooo hungry from dancing all night!

I could not recommend you more and if you want to use me as a reference, please feel free to do so. It was a pleasure working with you and I will be sure to recommend you to other Knotties! Thanks again!
