Hi Pam,
We celebrated my daughter’s marriage on the 21st November 2009.
Thanks to your book and Barbara at Celebration House we had a very successful wedding which made for a truly happy and memorable day.
I was one of those Mom’s who was left to do most of the organizing as Kate our daughter, is living in the UK and had just had a baby. I bought your book for myself and presented her with one as well so we were on the same wave length. Your book is a “must have” for every bride and mother of the bride, such a source of knowledge,
giving one much comfort and taking the stress out of it all. I spent the night before the wedding at the venue with Kate and the baby as we had a very early start (6.30 am) to be ready for the ceremony at 10.30. I took the book with me, as a source of comfort just in case I needed to sort something out in my mind on the day!
We used the service providers that Celebration House recommended and I want to tell you they were all excellent, we had no hitches or let downs. Our guests complimented me on how smoothly everything went and how relaxed I was, but I need to pass that compliment on to you and your service providers who seemed to go the extra mile in their passion for what they did.
