Deanna, I totally miss you and your creative-positive energy!…read more
God has truly blessed Thomas and I I'm so many ways... He created the person who created Yelp, which is where I found You and that is where we started the journey for 'Countdown to Culbreath' (September 30, 2017).
I was literally sitting in my car scrolling thru Yelp for wedding stuff not expecting to find anything significant. I do believe things happen for reasons and that events in our lives are not random occurrences. When I came across your profile, I truly had no idea what to expect in planning for a huge life event, but after meeting with you for the first time I felt comforted and knew we were in good hands.
Understanding that each couple is different, I shared with you the things that I did know...
- Me and my now Husband (fiancé at the time) travel up to/mostly 80% of the time for work. We hardly have any time for ourselves or any recreational activities, so DIY'ing our wedding was completely not an option.
- We were definitely going to need someone who we could fully trust, cultivate a relationship with and thereby truly personalize our life milestone.
- We needed someone who is knowledgeable, organized, and provide us with information we needed to make decisions that would be in our best interest, someone who would be an advocate for us, our budget and someone who is personable that can collaborate with all our vendors (i.e. Contracts& Fine Print).
- We needed someone who could understand both of our personalities, cultural traditions and our intentions for hosting to a guest list of mostly out-of-towners.
- I know myself... I know what I like and I know what I love. I also knew that I needed someone who I could fully rely on and have unwavering confidence in them to design our wedding day.
- We needed someone who is knowledgeable, organized, detail oriented, fun, and adventurous. We needed someone with extraordinary vision.
Deanna, you are all of these things and more! We are so lucky to have your help in preparing for two (2) wedding ceremonies in one day. You exceeded all our expectations and to this day, our guests continue to shower us with amazing compliments of our beautiful wedding day; the rehearsal, day of coordination, décor, flowers, paper goods, flow & timing... literally everything.
For us (frequent career/business travelers), you made the planning and design process incredibly effortless. Thank you for providing the most important service of all; spending your time getting to know me and Thomas. Over the past year we have met face-face, talked on the phone, emailed, and communicated in every way possible. You even reached out to my family for information on coordinating the Traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony. Thank you for your hard work and all the effort that you & your team put into our day.
This truly meant the world to me; for my family they greatly appreciated that your design honored our culture and incorporated their wishes. Again, thank you Deanna for adventuring into the design of our Modern-Traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony! The whole experience is one that I will forever hold dear to my heart. Thank you for curating a harmonious space to culturally honor our families and all their sacrifices. The ceremony was so fun and each serving of tea were all special memories that still make me smile! These will definitely be shared for many generations.
The evening rooftop Western Ceremony was beautiful and seamless! The reception was fun and the suggestion of adding additional seating from your curated collection was brilliant.
I truly am looking forward to any future opportunities where we can re-connect and have you plan another amazing event. Thank you for being You and for being a part of our lives.
