Thank you Rhee Bevere for this beautiful photo of our design=)

Dear Future Brides and Grooms,

We hope your wedding planning is treating you well! 2010 is an awesome year so far for Nicole Lisanne Weddings & Events by Design. We do about 30 weddings a year, and this year we have completed the first 3 already. I wanted to share with you the letters of thanks from these 3 clients, they are so sweet and heartfelt, and I'm so honored to have been a part of helping them have their dreams come true! Sometimes the best way to explain what the benefits of having a good wedding consultant are, is to let the clients speak for themselves!

"Dear Nicole,

Mel and I cannot thank you enough for all of your help and amazing work

coordinating our wedding! The night was flawless - the best of our lives

and one that we will never forget. Thank you for making the night run so

smoothly, being so kind, relaxed and professional, making sure we were

taken care of, and managing all of the vendors. The wedding would not have

been this amazing without you! Besides being so talented at what you do,

you are also a beautiful person - so kind, with great taste. I hope you

consider me a friend and I hope to work with you again! I wish you all the

best - a life of great happiness and success. Thank you for giving me and

Mel the night of our dreams. Love, Tomiko"

"Dear Nicole,

You are amazing! There is absolutely no way we could have pulled this

wedding off without you. You are so thoughtful, thorough, and completely in

control at all times..it made Paul and I feel at ease. You are a one of a

kind and so professional, we are lucky to have found you. Please accept

this gift (sorry it's so late) as our appreciate for everything you did

for us. Our wedding was more than we ever imagined and none of it would

have been possible without you! Lots of love, Poppy and Paul"

"Dear Nicole,

THANK YOU!!! I don't think I can say those two words enough to you. From

the very first planning meeting I knew I could trust you with the biggest

day of my life (so far). The actual event was more than a dream come true.

Not only did everything look and flow great. I was able to enjoy my day

with Matt, my family, and my friends 100%! I had no worries or stress

because I knew you had everything taken care of. Having heard from other

friends who got married, I know what a gift that is. Thank you for your

professionalism and also your friendship. You are the best at what you do!

Love, Gina and Matt"
