I know I said it a lot, but I don't think you realize
how much of a pleasure and honor it was to work with
you throughout our entire planning process. You kept
the entire thing FUN and about US. You made took our
ideas and executed them in a way we would never know
how. You understood who we are, what we like, and
you helped shape our wedding into the wonder that
it was. YOU EVEN CALLED IN A BEAUTIFUL DAY OF SUNSHINE!
I don't know many wedding planners that have THAT
kind of pull... :)
There were so many different aspects to this wedding
(family histories, 100% out of town guests, a million
different vendors from all over New England, and an
OCD bride who knew what she wanted), and you juggled
them all with grace and poise. You not only made the
entire 13 months we planned with you an absolute breeze,
you made the wedding day stress free and comfortable.
Knowing you were there for anything that could have
happened was a comfort, and even though nothing did
happen (at least, that we know of), knowing you were
there was such a comfort. When the buses didn't show
up at one of the houses, Donna was on it. When I had
a killer stomach ache, Donna was there with ginger
ale and bread, when Donna knew we liked cake, she
had 3 pieces of each flavor waiting for us in our
hotel room on our wedding night. You are fabulous,
and I cannot describe how amazing you are.
You took care in our lives, our relationship, and
our families. You took note that my brother was a
vegetarian, and made sure he was comfortable. It's
not only your incredible visions and impeccable execution
that make you great; its the little things you do
like bringing homemade strawberry shortcake to our
meetings, or offering to drive into Southie during
rush hour traffic because you know we get out of work
late and our weekends are busy that make you rise
above. I honestly don't know what we would have done
without you. You are truly a great friend, and a phenomenal
wedding planner. It's a good thing I have a lot of
friends getting married... because I know this won’t
be the last time you hear from us.
Early in the planning process when we told my parents
that we were going to be using a wedding planner they
both said "how come? can't we just do it all?"
...and after the wedding, they both said "thank
GOD you hired Donna." It was absolutely the most
beautiful wedding, and we could not have done it without
you.
XOXO
With lots of love,
