There is always something to be said when you are able to keep your guest list to a minimum, go crazy on linens/décor and treat your guests to a food and beverage experience, especially when the bride is a celebrity chef, you know the food and beverage is going to be eagerly anticipated. Along with the brides moms involvement, we created a warm environment in a ‘cooler’ room (wine cellars/rooms are always at a lower temperature, don’t forget that, so pashminas were provided for the ladies) and it turned out fabulous. Karla/Elegant by Design jumped right on board and ‘got it’, Monico Décor provided the linens/overlay for the whole table and chivaris and chair toppers, Peter of Vive Ent kept the corner dancefloor filled. This was one bride who when I said to order tea sandwiches for after hair/makeup has been finished so the ladies would have something to eat pre cere beginning, knew what I meant and had a beautiful display of tea sandwiches pre-ordered, I did a bit of quality control on the taste and can attest to the fact that St Regis did them beautifully as they would be done in a lovely English tea room!!! Thanks to Eileen at the St Regis that was hands on and all over the place to ensure everything from the hotels standpoint went well, and of course the banquet, beverage and culinary teams who out did themselves. Just as I love it when guests applaud as a bride walks up an aisle or the parents do, I really love it when a chef comes into the room and he gets a standing O!!!
Till tomorrow

Thank you for your great ability to oversee things and in such a fun and relaxing way. I know that the day went so smoothly because of all the time you spent on all the hidden details.
Thank you for making my wedding perfect. Everything went really well and I was able to really enjoy it. My guests are still complimenting me on how nice everything was. Everyone kept commenting on how calm I was and that is because I had you to take care of everything.
I wanted to thank you again for all you did. The wedding was beyond my wildest dreams. It was beautiful and exactly as I pictured it.
I just can’t imagine how the date could go through smoothly without you, you were amazing. Going through the whole process with you was a great life experience.
You are a great woman and a wedding co-ordinator ‘extraordinaire’. We are blessed and honored to have you as our co-ordinator.
