Below is letter I sent to vendor thanking her for the job she did.
Babs - I want to let you know how much Kerry and I both appreciate the fantastic job you did with the decor for her recent wedding. It truly was just the way she wanted it! You should know that she and I both were so excited to hear that you rented decor items! This saved us from having to find and purchase everything she wanted, as well as haul all of it down to Charleston and then worry about gathering it all up at the end of the evening to bring back home. She was a little nervous at first that you would not have the kinds of things she was looking for as she had a very specific idea in mind, then you graciously sent pictures of your decor items and immediately put her at ease! And thank you for incorporating what we did bring into the decorating scheme and creating such a beautiful and memorable day for us. You certainly relieved us of a monumental task which allowed us to actually enjoy the day! What a gift!! You were SO pleasant to work with and so helpful with suggestions of placement of decor as well as sofas, tables, etc. to keep the "flow of traffic" moving and each guest comfortable throughout the evening.
As mother of the bride, I can't thank you enough for ALL that you did to create such a beautiful atmosphere for us and our guests to enjoy on such a special day in our lives. I would highly recommend that anyone planning a wedding or any type event in Charleston who needs assistance with decor give you a call and save themselves a lot of trouble. Feel free to give them my name and number, and I will be glad to let them know that!
