Love Notes…Lauren + Jeff (07.11.09)

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I just love getting notes from my happy couples (and their families!) after weddings.

Heather, just wanted to offer a big thank you for all your help with Lauren and Jeff’s wedding.  You truly helped us create a wonderful atmosphere and allowed us to enjoy it!  We have had nothing short of unbelievable feedback!

- Les, Father of the Bride

I just wanted to send a quick thank you to everyone for helping make my wedding day so special.   It was the best weekend and it wouldn’t have been the same without everyone’s help along the way!  I just got back to the office today and have emails, letters and voicemails from friends and family raving about the wedding from start to finish (flowers, hair, makeup, music, food, etc….literally everything!).  Everyone said it was the best wedding and that they had a blast.

I have lots of friends getting engaged so when they ask, I will be sure to send recommendations!

Lauren, bride

We just got a  comment card back from our wonderful April 18th wedding couple!  Here are Kristen’s remarks:

kristin mathisWould you recommend our services to others?

Yes

Please tell us about your experience with First Coast Weddings and Events:

Great experience – from start to finish! Heather & staff are professional and available – all appointments happened as planned.  Most importantly – Heather executed on everything we planned and more.  Our wedding looked even better than I imagined! On our big day we had no worries – any issue that came up was handled immediately.  We are so pleased and blessed to have found Heather/First Coast Weddings and Events.

Is there anything particular we can do to improve our services in the future?

Not at all – I felt that everything /every interaction was professional and executed flawlessly!

PS – Thanks to Melanie too for all of your help!

One of the best parts of my job is getting thank you notes from our lovely couples after the wedding.  This morning, I found this note from Michelle and Jamaal in my stack of mail:
