Hi Sabrina,
We just got back from Maui and I had to send you a quick thank you for EVERYTHING you did to help make our wedding beautiful and flow smoothly!
Everything was just stunning and I can’t thank you enough for all of your help.  I did want to send you the link to the video they played at the end of the night.  You might be able to use it for future clients or something,
or you can just watch it over and over like i do

Dear Sabrina,
We want to thank you for all you did for the Gala, once again, and for being such a pleasure to work with.
Your list of tasks is long, and you handle everything so calmly. Thank you for all the many floor plans you created, always willingly adjusting as our plans changed. We appreciate you fielding all the many questions and requests during setup.
We missed you the day of the Gala [I worked at a wedding], but we are thankful for Adrienne [La Dolce Idea's on-site coordinator at the event] who did a very fine job. Thank you for introducing her to us.
Thank you for everything!
Jim Ruecker, Gala Chair

I was against a wedding planner in the beginning stages of my wedding planning. Finally in the last stages I realized I needed help! Sabrina was the first person we spoke with and we hired her on the spot. Her personality and dedication to what little I told her about my wedding made me trust her instantly. The only thing I would change was I would have hired Sabrina sooner!

I received the following e-mail this morning, and it brightened my day!

Hello –
I would first like to say that you are very talented and your creativity is amazing. I live in New Jersey and found your website while searching through hundreds of ideas for my daughter’s bridal shower. I looked at your February blog and absolutely loved it. 
I have been trying to find the perfect invitations for her Breakfast at Tiffany’s theme and really loved the ones pictured in the blog. My question is: could you share with me where I can purchase these invitations?
Thank you so much for your help,

Donna L.

(The invitation Donna is referring to was created for Margherita’s bridal shower – Read the post on my wedding blog, Something Dolce).

La Dolce Idea’s events are always done with style, energy, and creative sophistication. Just what we need for our clients!

Thank you Sabrina,

I had the opportunity to work with an amazing team for an appreciation event at The Prado at Balboa Park last month – Pictures will follow.

The Prado is one of my favorite venues for weddings and special events, with lush historical gardens and a courtyard, elegant banquet rooms, romantic terraces and the outdoor grandeur of the historic Casa Del Rey Moro Gardens. I will be happy to show you around: contact me for a complimentary walk-through today!

Here is a thank-you note that I received after the event:

Hello Sabrina,

It was truly a pleasure seeing you and your staff at The Prado today.
The sweets were incredible, presentation was exciting and visually stimulating and the company, unsurpassed!

I have been at this property for 11 years now and I have to say, this has been one of the most delightful experiences of my career.

Should our brides and guests ask for something special and unique, I will be sure to send them your way.

Once again, please thank everyone who made this experience so wonderful!

Warm Regards,

Mr. F.  Rhine Magallanes
Sales and Catering Department
The Prado at Balboa Park

Today I would like to share a wonderful testimonial that one of my favorite wedding professionals sent to my couple BEFORE their wedding (which will take place on June 5th). I’m so flattered!

Hi Michelle,

I hope everything is going great for both of you!

We had a wedding tonight on the William D Evans and I was thinking about you. We were hired for just video tonight, but I snapped a few photos thinking about how much you loved the ceiling on the second floor and the lights on the bay. I promise Bob is a much better photographer than I am

The wedding was beautiful tonight as was the bay (but your wedding gets fireworks!). To be honest the only thing missing from this evening was coordination. Sabrina is going to be such a huge help to you on the day of, I wish our videographer had her tonight. With multi levels and no coordinator it’s a touch more challenging to communicate to guests where they should be and when, while making sure all the vendors are on the same page.
All the little things she will do will make a *tremendous* difference in the flow of your evening and will allow us to do a better job for you and you won’t have to worry about anything!

I’m excited and happy for both of you! Let me know if you need anything at all in the coming months and around mid May we can set up a time to discuss your family tree, special photo requests and any other final details.

Have a great weekend. Talk soon!

Best Wishes,
Amanda Morgan | Social Events Coordinator
