Dear Lisanne,
I just wanted to tell you how much we appreciated all the small and big details of our wedding. We didn't fully realize the tremendous benefit of having a wedding coordinator until we were pulling out of the driveway in the limo and both of us commented "Thank God for Lisanne!" The wedding reception went so smoothly thanks to your organizational abilities! I later found out that the florist stressed out on my mom because of the delay in getting the pew bows completed… thanks you for swiftly getting him away from my mom and telling him you were the one he needed to talk to and for finding the missing keys to a guest's car that had been valet parked. Please know if you ever need a recommendation from a former client, you should know the Cleary's and Haysletts would highly recommend your much-needed services. I really can't put into words how much we enjoyed working with you and how you made such a positive impact on our planning to the end product - a beautiful wedding.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Hayslett

Dear Lisanne,
We just wanted to thank you and Melinda again for the super job you did for David and Kim's wedding. Everything was perfect and you made sure of that. You helped make this a really special event in our lives.
Cordially,

Dear Lisanne,
Just a note to thank you for all you did to make Kim and David's wedding so very special. It was grand all by itself but all the touches you added made all the rest of us feel special. You provided a very valuable service that was appreciated by all of us.
Thank you,

Dear Lisanne and Katie,
This note is to express our appreciation for the wonderful job you did at our daughter Amanda's wedding. Every detail was well planned and it made the whole process enjoyable. Thank you for your expertise on so many occasions. It allowed Dan and I to remain sane and truly enjoy the wedding. Dan says thanks for the wedding day rescue with providing him with black socks. We'd be thrilled to be a reference for your fine work. Many many thanks.
Sincerely,
Jean and Dan Shapiro (parents of the bride)

Dear Lisanne,
Thank you for your assistance before, during and after our wedding on September 23, 2000. It seems that we had some very trying situations and
some difficult people to deal with throughout our preparation. Many sincere thanks to you and Katie for your calmness,
helpfulness and professionalism in the middle of it all. I appreciate your willingness to step-up and handle some big issues
as well as caring for the many details. Thanks especially for your above and beyond efforts of getting my brother a vest on
the morning of the wedding. I must say that the overall level of service you provided was quite exceptional.
Your attention to detail, distinct professionalism and genuine concern for your clients speak volumes for you and will
certainly continue to make you successful. Best wishes in your continued endeavors and thank you for all of your hard work.

Dear Lisanne,
Thank you so much for all of the help that you provided planning our wedding and for the beautiful and seamless flow of events that you and Melinda created on our wedding day. Never was a wedding coordinator needed so much as on September 25th when our venue had a fire and both our ceremony and reception had to be relocated only 18 days before the wedding. Your hard work, persistence and thorough knowledge of Atlanta and its wedding industry were our saving grace. I could not have coordinated all of the changes of details with both our vendors and wedding party. The tremendous effort you put forth relocating us was invaluable. Through you, Melinda and the team of top-quality vendors to which you referred us, the wedding day ran as smoothly as though we never had to change plans on such short notice.
After the ordeal of relocating the wedding, I assumed that your services during the wedding day would pale in comparison, however you proved me wrong. I did not foresee all of the hard work that lay ahead of you and Melinda. Because of you we were relaxed, enjoyed our wedding and were the guests of honor at our reception, all the while knowing that every detail was in your capable hands. Many people commented that that they had never seen a bride look so relaxed poised or composed on her wedding day. I was able to walk through that day trusting that you were in control of every aspect of the event. It showed to my guests and to my husband. David, our families and I enjoyed each other and the reception celebration without a single worry on our minds. We danced, ate, drank and socialized knowing that you and Melinda would guide us through the rest. You made the biggest day of our lives into the most perfect and special day for me, my husband, our families and friends.
Best Regards,
Jennifer Jones

Dear Katie,
I wanted to tell you again how wonderful everything was on Saturday. It couldn't have been as perfect as it was without you and Brook. I express my gratitude to you; you produced exactly what Holly had always envisioned her wedding to be. I truly appreciate everything you did for us.
Sincerely,
Ginny Brown (Mother of the Bride)

Lisanne--you did a WONDERFUL job--someone at the reception, who is a retired wedding photographer, said he had never seen such a perfect planning job - and he has seen hundreds of weddings. It is also great to know you do private parties...I am sure we will have occasion to call again. Thanks again for a memorable and beautiful event!

Dear Lisanne,
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! You were a pleasure to work with - in many ways. Not only were you pleasant, but so organized and thorough. That means a lot to a band - you'd be amazed!
I hope we'll have a chance to work together again!
Thanks again,

Dear Katie,
Thank you again for helping make my wedding day a truly wonderful memory. I appreciate all
your help throughout the planning process ~ everything was absolutely perfect! Please feel free
to use me as a reference!

Lisanne,
I wanted to tell you that you were more than wonderful and I can not stop bragging about you and your staff. Please especially tell Laurie thanks as she kept me so calm. I would love to be a reference if you ever need one. Thanks for making my wedding a dream come true and making it go so so smooth. Alan and I actually had a BLAST at our own wedding and people told us that was not possible.
Morgan Henritze Hamilton
Dear Katie,
I just want to thank you so much for all of your hard work. I don't know how I would have managed without you! You are truly wonderful at what you do and I can't tell you what a comfort it's been to have everything in the hands of such a professional. It was also great that every time I spoke with a vendor you referred me to, they always told me what a wonderful job you do - it just confirmed what I already knew.
Please us me as a reference - I would love the opportunity to tell other brides how lucky they'd be to work with you!
Thank you for everything. You've made this a great experience for me.
Love,
Chandra
Hey Lisanne!!
We just got back from our honeymoon yesterday and we had a blast!! I really
need to thank you and your staff for the amazing job you did for my wedding.
I know there were a lot of issues before the ceremony but you and your
assistants did a wonderful job working through them and most of all keeping
me calm. Truly, I don't know what I would have done without you-I really
mean that from the bottom of my heart. There were countless things that you
did for me that day like cleaning my dress, gluing my eyelash (never doing
that again!), making sure I was alright, fixing my bustle that was broken,
getting me out of sticky or unwanted situations...really I could go on
forever. And, to top it off, the wedding was beautiful! The reception site
looked gorgeous and went off without a hitch (at least that I know of)!
Everyone is STILL raving about the reception and how beautiful and fun it
was. So, thank you for ensuring that we had a wonderful and memorable
wedding day.

Dear Lisanne,
I'm writing with the sultry breeze from the harbor here in Phuket, Thailand, at my back . . . with finally a moment to thank
you again for your wonderful care for so many details involved with the planning and execution of Lauren and Jay's wedding day.
It feels as if we've been in something of a time warp since leaving Atlanta, and I feel quite remiss in not sending this message
earlier to tell you again how much we treasure and appreciate all the care you put into assuring a beautiful wedding celebration
and incredibly fun reception for all of us.
I do intend to follow up with an appropriate thank you letter . . . in fact, hope to find some beautiful Thai papers in
Bangkok this coming week. With pleasure, I look forward to writing to you and the special vendors you introduced us to, as
well as to some special guests who shared our wedding weekend. It's always a pleasure to find "down time" to write . . . as
the full days at home in Silicon Valley seem to preclude my concentrating on these nicer details . . . Lisanne, you could not
have been more accommodating of the several last minute details of day consumed with the St. Patrick's Day parade and a
schedule that almost ran away with us! My visual picture of your pinning shawls and finding us for the Bride and Groom's dance,
of instructing our guests for the sparkler get-away, of appropriating last-minute valet requirements and delivering my garment
bag to the hotel . . .you were absolutely in charge and wonderful throughout what has to have been a very long day for you.
Thank you for giving us the incredible gift of this day to enjoy and cherish, without the worry of details fully in your very
capable hands.
I cannot imagine trying to arrange for a reception of the magnitude of Lauren and Jay's without your capable assist.
Please know that you are a very special part of the collection of memories of a special, once-in-a-lifetime celebration.
We'll return home on April 11 . . . I'll definitely mail a note to you then as well.
With fond regards and our appreciation,
Helen and Jim Carreker (parents of the bride)
Dear Lisanne,
I've had several weeks now to savor the many and very special details of Lauren and Jay's beautiful weddings and reception. The overwhelming sense of appreciation for the care you took to give us the day of Lauren's dreams has remained with us. It's a pleasure to write to say, once again, thank you for a fantastic job of oversight and coordination. Jim and I had a great time at the reception and dance party, and all thanks to you, Lisanne. We really did not worry about any of the party flow . . . you managed the afternoon and evening seamlessly. The professional photographs are excellent and tell the story. You gave us a day to cherish always.
Fond Regards,
Helen and Jim Carreker (parents of the bride)
Lisanne,
Please tell Lanna and Katie thanks for us. They did a great job - which was an especially daunting task with my crazy wedding party!! They kept things running very smoothly and I would be happy to give your company a glowing reference if you need one!
Robin Furr
Dear Lisanne,
Thank you for all the help pulling together Kate's wedding. I especially appreciate all you did at the reception. It would not have flowed well if you had not been there keeping things moving. The glitches that we encountered were small and you handled them perfectly.
Thank you again,
Connie LaVine
Dear Lisanne,
I know that making sure a wedding runs smoothly is your job, but I wanted to thank you for all of us for making Laura and Brad's so perfect. Because of you, we had a stress-free time and thus were able to enjoy ourselves fully and to "party down" as Laura used to say. So again, thanks to you and Melinda for helping to make this wedding such a special time for us.
All Best,
Dorothy Sussman
Dear Lisanne,
Thank you for making Katie's wedding day so perfect. My praises for you will be spread far and wide. Pete and I have received so many lovely notes about the wedding.
Sincerely,
Maureen Golden
Lisanne,
Tony and I would like to thank you again for a wonderful job well done. Everyone commented on how well things went. You are a great coordinator. I hope we will have a chance to work together again (when I find a husband for my daughter).
Thanks again,
Delores and Tony Williams
Lisanne,
Thank you so much for coordinating such an elegant and meaningful reception. I appreciate the time and thought you put into this memorable occasion for me. You are a dear friend and I'm so thankful to know you.
Love in Christ,
Teresa Sussman
Dear Lisanne,
Many, many, thanks to you, Melinda and Allison for all of your help, ideas, and assistance, in planning and executing our ceremony this past weekend.
We have had so many compliments about the evening and we are very grateful
for everyone's efforts at Watermark Weddings.
Fond Regards,
Eddy & Todd
Dear Katie,
This is WAY overdue, but I wanted to let you know what an incredible job you did for us in Paris. We had an incredible time and an unbelievable experience that we will cherish forever. Our family and friends were so impressed with the day that it's now in the books as "the best wedding experience ever."
We absolutely loved the beautiful church, the bus for the pictures, the patio stop overlooking the Eiffel Tower, the restaurant reception and, of course, the George V Hotel. Everything was very well planned and went so smoothly. Thank you so much for that experience. And
please thank your assistant, too; she saved the night with the music!!! Please feel free to use our name as a reference for anything.
We're going to be on a TV show called "Portland Weddings" this coming week. Is it ok if we throw out your name?
Hope this message finds you well.
Sincerely,
Jose & Kristin Rios
Dear Katie,
You were instrumental to the success of our wedding! Katie, you did such an amazing job with the coordinating. I can hardy believe how smoothly the day unfolded. You're fabulous!
Thanks again and stay in touch,
Kerrieann Axt
Lisanne,
It was a wedding and reception that will give back memories for a lifetime. It was just wonderful. Thank you and your staff for your great understanding and efforts in helping us make it happen. Please pass along our thanks to all involved including the wonderful support
group at the Atlanta History Center. The feedback we have been receiving from our guests is that they all had a most wonderful time.
Art Hahn, Father of the Bride
Lisanne,
Nicki and Chad's wedding surpassed all our expectations! It was certainly a pleasure meeting you and Lisa on Saturday and participating in the fruits of your labor over the past several months.
Nicki is our first child to be married, and since it has been 32 years since our wedding, this was truly a "new" experience for us! I'm not even sure there were wedding consultants in our little town then! When Nicki suggested that we take advantage of your expertise, we put our faith in the two (actually Chad, too!) of you and decided to be "guests" at our daughter's wedding! That's exactly how it turned out!
We want to thank you for everything you did to achieve the "perfect" wedding - in every way -- for us! Your organization and expertise as well as your choice of vendors was exemplary! Your award as the 2003 Atlanta Wedding Professional of the Year is well deserved!
If you ever need us to offer a recommendation for you or your company's services, don't hesitate to give our name. Thank you again for all your help in making Nicki and Chad's wedding so memorable!
Linda and Kurt Marshek
Lisanne-
Wes and I are so indebted to you for all of your help and hard work to make our wedding day one that all of our guests will remember. I cannot thank you enough for ensuring that all of the details of the day were carried out smoothly and perfectly. Everyone commented on how well-timed and beautiful the entire evening was and how relaxed I was all day long! We especially appreciate how well you and your assistants were able to fix the florist's mistakes and even helped to resolve the situation after the wedding day had passed. It was over and above our expectations along with everything else you did for us! Thank you, again, and we look forward to sending many more happy brides your way!
Sincerely,
Wes and Anne Manning
Oh Lisanne- that was truly the best night of our lives- thank you sooo much for all of your help! So much planning, time, and love goes into that and I will tell you that to have 300+ people at your wedding and to have it be so beautiful and lovely (I cannot tell you how thrilled we were with the way the ceremony turned out- did you see it? It was amazing and so lovely! Everyone keeps telling us that it was "the best wedding that they have ever been to"...from the ceremony (the Fox folks are absolutely fantastic- love Jim and sweet Nikki!) and venue, to the food (Rich and Affairs did the MOST SPECTACULAR JOB!!! Everyone keeps saying how phenomenal the food was...to the flowers (those gals really did an amazing job too!) to the cakes (Ann with Outrageous Cakes did a tremendous job)- to the video montage (everyone really loved that Lisanne- it was so worth the "splurge" for the larger screen- it was perfect!)...it was truly an epic night and I just cannot thank you, Alison and Katie enough for all of your help and expertise...I am sure it was not an easy task to coordinate 300 guests doing anything...but you all did an incredible job...additionally- can I tell you how many people loved the candle lighting at the end? A colleague of Ian's from CA said that it brought tears to his eyes- he said it was like "being in a movie" when we left The Fox...what a lovely touch and Lisanne- you helped make it all happen for us!
Ian and I are just beyond thrilled with how everything turned out...yes- we spent a lot of time and money on our celebration, but it was worth each and every penny...it was truly the best night of our lives...thank you for your guidance on everything Lisanne,
Holli and Ian
