“Dear Aline,
We wanted to take a moment to truly thank you for everything you did to make our wedding day and the entire planning process so much more than we ever could have hoped for. We hired you later in the planning process than our friends, family, and even Google recommended, but the moment you came on board, you jumped right in without hesitation. You were professional, persistent, thorough, and incredibly organized from day one. Your spreadsheets, Excel forms, timelines, and attention to detail immediately showed us that we were dealing with a true professional. But honestly, the best part of having you as our wedding planner was that you took all of the worry away. We went from feeling completely overwhelmed to feeling safe, confident, and taken care of within 24 hours of you coming on board. That feeling is something we will never forget. You did far more than we ever expected from a wedding planner. Of course, you handled the planning, coordinated with vendors, followed up on details, and made sure everything was on track. But you also did all of the little and not so little things that showed just how much you genuinely cared about us and our experience. You steamed my wife's dress. You helped with transportation. You made sure we actually ate before the wedding. You anticipated problems before we even knew they existed. You were constantly thinking several steps ahead. One example that really stands out to us was the speeches. Originally, the best man and maid of honor were going to give their speeches while salads were being served. You recognized that we would likely be eating during the speeches and, more importantly, that it could make for some pretty awkward pictures. You made sure the venue served us first and early so that when those special moments were being photographed, we could actually enjoy them without having a mouthful of salad! That may sound like a small detail, but to us, it represents exactly who you were throughout this entire experience. You thought of everything. Even the things we didn't know we needed to think about. You followed through on every duty, every promise, and every commitment and then you went above and beyond that. You didn't just plan our wedding. You protected our experience of it. Because of you, we were able to spend our wedding day enjoying each other, our families, and our friends instead of worrying about vendors, timelines, logistics, or what might go wrong. That is an incredible gift, and we are so grateful for it. We would recommend you to anyone and everyone planning a wedding. If someone asked us whether hiring you is worth it, our answer would be simple: Absolutely. Without a doubt. Trust us you are in great hands with Aline. Thank you for your professionalism, your dedication, your persistence, your organization, your kindness, and for caring about our wedding as if it were your own. We could not have asked for a better person to have by our side throughout the process.
With our sincerest gratitude,
Brandon & Selena Desorcy”
