Hi there sweetie!!!
Randy and I cannot put into words how wonderful and pleased we were with how the wedding turned out. We talk about it almost every day and have such fond memories of our entire trip. We've looked at the pictures over and over again and we wish we could do it over just to remember every single detail because it was so wonderful. You and Lew are amazing and we were so pleased at how smoothly the wedding went. You are a saint and a blessing to us. To only work with you over the phone and through email for the last 6 months, proved to be very successful. We felt so confident after we met with you at your house the day we arrived -- it was like meeting family! You knew us so well and I'll never forget how good I felt during he ceremony to look at you knowing how dedicated you were to making our day very special. Everyone at the wedding kept telling us how much you cared for us and it showed. I tear up every time I think of how perfect everything was. You are truly an amazing and dear person Leslie. I hope we can keep in touch because I feel like you are part of our family now. Much love and a big hug!

Jocelyn & Randy, St. Louis, MO

Hi Leslie,
We had so many people tell us that it was the best wedding and reception they had ever gone to....of course, that is because of the beautiful ceremony on the beach and the reception....OH MY...that DJ was fantastic!! I still can't believe the DJ got my rather shy son on the dance floor. Thank you for recommending him, he was everything you said he would be and more!!
But most of all, you held a beautiful and very intimate wedding ceremony even with family and friends around. The Sand Ceremony, blending the lives and love of Jodi, Gary, Marquis, Marissa and Mitchel, was perfect for bringing both families together in a moment they will never forget.
I said you are an angel, and you certainly are. You have a wonderful way of making everyone you meet feel so special. You created one of those memories that everyone hopes to have at least once in their lifetime, and I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful memories my daughter will have of her wedding day.
Love,
Pam

Hi Leslie,
I was sitting here thinking about all that has transpired this week and all that is to come next week. As we approach Friday evening and Mandy and Justin's wedding and I want to take a moment to write to you.
I have to tell you that although I am excited and stressed I have such peace of mind knowing that you are there making it all happen with such order and calmness. When I ask you a question you have the answer and you even take time to reassure me when I am feeling the pressure. I value you so much.
As the days go by this week please know that I am handling it because I know you are there!
6 days to go.......

Dear Leslie,
I just wanted to thank you for all of your efforts in making our wedding day very special and exactly what we had in mind. Arriving in Florida the day before the wedding made it impossible to try to firm up anything myself. And with life being so hectic, trying to arrange the wedding from a distance would have been a nightmare. What a god send you have been. You thought of every detail, even some that I would have missed! I didn't have to worry about a thing. And you spoke with me so regularly I never felt that things were getting away from me. You took the time to get to know Joe and I enough to set up a service and reception tailored to our wants and dreams, not to mention our bank account. Additionally, the warmth and friendship shown by you and Lew will not be forgotten. I would recommend your services to anyone trying to arrange a wedding or special event on the Key, and after all, where else in the world could be better!

Kim & Joe, Cincinnati, OH

Dear Leslie,
I'd like to thank you for all you did to make our wedding a memorable one. My family and I couldn't have done it without you. Arriving in Florida and knowing everything was taken care of was such a relief. Everything was absolutely perfect, the sunset, beach, and of all things the ceremony. I couldn't have asked for a more romantic wedding. I can honestly say I'm sad it's over and done with. But at least I will always remember that romantic 18th day of October on the beautiful beach of Siesta Key. This is definitely a memory that will last in my heart forever. Thanks again Leslie for helping out in making our special day come true.

Whitney & Matt, Xenia, OH

Dear Leslie,
I just wanted to let you know how much Randy and I loved our beach wedding. Everything was just beautiful! The beach wedding site was perfect. The flowers were lovely. The restaurant was fantastic. I started out trying to make the arrangements for the wedding myself, but soon realized that was going to be a real problem. That was when I found you. You made wonderful choices for us and we were very pleased with the whole day. Randy and I have wonderful memories of our wedding that we will never forget. We both thank you very much.

Donna & Randy, Ithaca, NY

Dear Leslie,
Everything was absolutely perfect.  I want to thank you for everything you did to make it such a special day for us. You always stayed in contact with me and were honest when I asked for your opinions. I REALLY appreciated that. You had a very indecisive bride on your hands, but you handled it all with grace and patience and that's what reassured me so. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services and expertise to anyone. My wedding was such a small affair, I can only imagine how invaluable you would be to a bride planning a large wedding!

Thanks again Leslie for being such a special part of our day.....we will never forget you!

Veronica & Javier, Cypress, TX

Dear Leslie,
Thank you so much for the beautiful surprise you helped my husband arrange for our 18th anniversary. Renewing our vows with beautiful flowers, tiki torches, and a champagne toast on the beach at sunset was very special. Even though I cried through the whole thing, I loved it. I have a very special husband and you were there to organize and take care of everything.

Larry & Mary Jo, Chicago, IL

Everything was perfect. The weather, beach, accommodations, bagpipes, steel drummer, barbecue, cake! Everyone is still talking about the wedding, they all thought it was beautiful, and I did get the pictures, they are really beautiful!

Vicki & Frankie, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada and Virginia Beach, VA

You exceeded our expectations! The extra photography at the drummer circle on Sunday was so special.

Damaris & Shawn Michael, Fort Myers, FL

Hi Leslie. I just wanted to thank you again for your services. Our wedding was just what we wanted. It was perfect.....intimate and special. You offer an excellent service to brides. It was so WONDERFUL to have a contact in Siesta Key to arrange the photographer, flowers, location, dinner reservations etc. Having never been to Siesta Key, it would have been very difficult to do on my own. The copy of the vows with our wedding picture delivered the next day to our room was also a great added touch. EVERYTHING was just perfect. . . just what we were looking for. Again, thank you both very much.

Debbie & Rick, Canton, OH

Leslie, thank you so much for sending the pictures. They turned out great. Rissa and I can not express how pleased we were with the wedding and your services in general. Including our children in the wedding ceremony was very special. Thank you again for all that you did.

Ruth & Dale, Taylorsville, KY

Hi Leslie!
Thank you very much for everything! What started out as a less than perfect wedding trip ended up to be a perfect wedding! The new site that you staked out for us the morning of the wedding on July 4th proved to be PERFECT! And with the rain stopping as I stepped out of the car, it was just as if someone was stepping in and making sure everything worked out for us! Thank you very much for helping to make our beach wedding dream come true! I'll be sure to recommend you to anyone else I know that wants to have a wonderful beach/sunset wedding like ours!!

Leslie and Lew - Thanks for everything! It turned out just beautifully and we couldn't be happier! We truly could not have done it without you. You played so many roles in the entire ordeal - from wedding planner to counselor, and none were less than spectacular. Your flexibility and positive attitude always calmed my nerves when decisions and life became difficult. We cannot express how thrilled we are with our wedding. Thank you so very much. We feel tremendously indebted to you both for making our wedding so beautiful and perfect!

Adam & Sara, Gainesville, FL

Hi Leslie! The wedding could not have been more perfect! I love the pictures and have shared them with friends and family. Thank you for making our wedding so special. The sunset was absolutely perfect. It was hard to leave Siesta Key. Mike and I are definitely talking about staying at the same condos again. Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Leslie,
Weddings are incredibly stressful, but having your insight and time helped to make our plans and our day perfect.  I know that Becky and I are biased, but we think that it was the coolest wedding we have ever been to.  We have nothing but great things to say about you.  Thanks again.

Andy & Becky, Miami, FL

Our wedding was a dream come true for me. It is something that I have always dreamed of when I was a little girl and it was a day that Jerry and I will never forget. Thank you both for making our day so memorable. The pictures turned out fantastic.

Dear Leslie,
Thank you so much for all that you and Lew did to make my daughter’s wedding celebration so successful.  Kelly and Reyer were very happy, and every guest had an absolutely wonderful time.  I enjoyed it all so much more than I had ever realized was possible!
Perhaps it was unnecessary for me to write, but no matter how many weddings you plan -- every single one is a huge life experience for the couple and their families.  You will be remembered always, and we are so grateful to you for all that you’ve done for us.
