January 16, 2006

Amy -
While it is still fresh on my mind and I am still buzzing from the fun, I wanted to thank you. You and your team did an exceptional job. I didn't have to worry about a single detail and you anticipated everything that Eddie and I needed (even before it ocurred to us that we needed it). It was the happiest day of my life so far and I know that your hard work made it much more enjoyable for me. I know that there are many details that I never even had to consider for a moment - like the red wine's disappearance (I had no idea my friends could drink that much wine!)
Thank you,
Leigh

January 16, 2006

Dear Amy,
I owe everything to you for a spectacularly planned and orchestrated event! Your attention to detail, the preparedness of you and your staff, the monitoring of every moment on saturday to make all go smoothly, never overreacting to the 1 minute prior arrival of the mariachis! , the calming of Leigh, the ability to get those lights down and out for the MOB, ordering mas vino(all of our pals were the consumers, I fear) down to finding the lost earring, and packing food for Leigh and Eddie in the limo... we relished every moment and have you to thank for a beautiful, flawless event that you and the bride planned. Leigh told us sunday am that it was the happiest day of her life, and she knew there were more to come... my sincere appreciation for your incredible skillls, humor and professional guidance.
Our eternal gratitude,
Susan and Bill

Than you so much for helping make our wedding so special! It truly would not have been half as wonderful without all of your expertise and knowledge. Sorry this is so late- it took us longer to get settled in Dallas than I thought. I hope we keep in touch.
Love-
Allison (Casey) and Vince Reyna

November 2003

Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. You went above and beyond what we ever could have imagined. Thank you for that. It was absolutely the best money we ever spent. I have and will continue to recommend you to other people. Thanks again-
Blaire (Livingston) and Kyle Wardlaw

March 2003

I don’t even know where to begin thanking you. We have received so many comments and lovely notes from our guests going on and on about how great the wedding was and how it was the “funest” wedding they had ever been to. The evening was amazing. You made our wedding experience so fantastic I want to do it again! Thanks so much!
Rebecca (Gerlich) and Seth Krauss

June 7, 2003

In your last note to us you indicated that the end of our wedding was bittersweet because on one hand, you were glad the event was so successful, but that you were also a bit sad not to be working with us any longer. That note entirely sums up what you and Platinum Weddings & Events are all about- true concern and commitment, not only to the event itself, but to the people involved. We have never been so impressed with someone we hired for anything else before as we are with you. You gave us so much of your energy and time over the course of a year in order to make our wedding everything we wanted it to be. You never strayed from your upbeat and “can do” attitude and were always willing to listen to our concerns. Most importantly, you solved any problem that arose in the planning process without a minutes hesitation-and often your solutions ended up being better than we planned. It was also so wonderful to have piece of mind when it came to choosing our vendors- knowing that you had confidence in them and stood behind their work. It certainly made the planning process so much easier.
The wedding itself was so incredibly beautiful and elegant. In fact, we've had several people tell us that it was the most beautiful wedding they have ever attended. You and your staff made sure everything worked like clockwork and made it all appear seamless while doing so.
Amy, you helped make the most important day in our lives a day we will always cherish. Thank you for the outstanding job, the endless personal service, and for giving us the wedding of our dreams!
Angela and Mitch Abney (McGee)

I can’t thank you enough for all your hard work and planning for the school benefit. It takes a very special person to put so much time and love into something that doesn’t even directly benefit them. Greg, Dawson and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

How do we begin to thank you for all the hard work and effort you went to in order to make this day so joyous and wonderful? We appreciate you so very much and have enjoyed spending the past ten months or so working with you. You are one very talented lady and we are thankful we met you and had the opportunity to work with you. We hope to see you and the new baby sometime in the near future!
Love,
Kristen (Gatewood) and Nathan Stedham

June 2004

I wanted to thank you for all the hard work and efforts that went into Jennifer and Matt’s wedding. I loved having “you” in charge and it set my mind free from all the normal worries that take place the last few weeks of the wedding. I hope we can use you again for our other two daughters if you are still available! Thank you again for everything!
Julie and Renee Drouin

March 2004

I want you to know I thoroughly enjoyed working with you at the Valentine wedding. You run a very organized event, which makes my job so much easier. Thank you. I have enclosed some images from Ashley’s wedding that you might enjoy. I look forward to working with you again.
Very sincerely yours,
David Sixt Photography

May 2004

Cindy and I wanted to make sure you knew how much we appreciated all your efforts that made Kristen and Nathan’s wedding truly memorable. Everyone had a wonderful time, including the “MOB” and the “FOB”. We could never have done it without you.

The bride, groom and their families will always be grateful for all you have done to make Stacy and George’s wedding everything they dreamed it would be. Amy, you personally have made this adventure a pleasure. The professionalism exhibited by you and your staff at all times guaranteed an event that we have been proud to host and that our guests thoroughly enjoyed. I wish I could pass on the many glowing comments, observations, and expressions of pleasure we have received from our guests. The attention to detail and the quality of the vendors was appreciated and acknowledged.
Please extend our many thanks and appreciation to Dawn and Anthony for all that they have done; and as the years go by, we hope you will keep in touch. We would like to know that the Mader family is doing well. Thank you, Amy, for a beautiful and memorable wedding.
Fondly,

Hello Amy, just a quick note to say a huge "thank you" for your sterling efforts for Angela & Mitch's wedding. It was a beautiful occasion, and a truly memorable one, and we were so pleased that everything went so well. Your polish and professionalism is wonderful and we all thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and getting a feel for the work and effort that goes into making such a special evening - not just for the bride & groom but also for every single guest.
I really appreciate your help too with organizing the brunch, which went swimmingly well, and it was a really great idea from the social standpoint, as it gave everyone an opportunity to say fond farewells. Everyone that came mentioned that it was quite unusual but also an excellent idea and they all really enjoyed it. It was just right!
Best of luck with future occasions!!
Kind regards,
Vicki Hal & Calum McGee

I just wanted to thank you again for everything you did for Carrie and Scott's wedding. It was absolutely PERFECT! You are precious and will always be in our memories of that wonderful weekend.
Sincerely-

June 2001

Dear Amy,
I don't know how I'm ever going to thank you and "pay you back" for taking such good care of us throughout our wedding "process". I know you realize more than anyone there how much goes into a wedding. And with the added joy of "unusual" circumstances, it could have been very difficult. But you made it look so easy. Thank you for all your support, for the hours of planning and negotiating and caring. Thank you as well for your encouragement and kindness. The old expression of "we never could have done it without you" has never been so true. For everything, bless you!
Beverly Levy

Dear Amy,
Thank you so much for all that you did to make our wedding the unforgettable event it was. We really appreciate all your contributions- from the early planning stages, to recommending vendors, to being the substitute driver on the wedding day, to making sure that everything was accomplished on the wedding day given the last minute changes. You were an invaluable resource and we sincerely appreciate all your contributions to our special day.
Claire (Campbell) and David Seeger

Dear Amy,
Thank you for all the help. We couldn't have done it without you. You went above and beyond the call of duty.
Thank you,
Wendy (Ryan) and Eric Cole

November 2001

Dear Amy,
Where do we begin? Mike and I can't even begin to tell you how fabulous you were! I absolutely can't imagine planning the wedding without you. Not only did you make everything perfect for the wedding day, but you also make doing all the wedding planning actually fun! I hear about so many brides who don't enjoy the weeks leading to the wedding. But, with you, I could sit back and enjoy the time and cherish the moments of excitement and joy before the wedding with out having to worry about the details. I am an admitted control freak so for me to tell you that I could step back and let you handle the details is a very big compliment. You were everything we wanted and needed in a wedding consultant and I can't recommend you enough! I also wanted you to know that our family and friends were very impressed with you and Anthony. Thank you again for all your hard work and time.
Sincerely,
Teresa (Harrison) and Mike Schaffer

Dear Amy,
To the best consultant a bride could ever ask for. You were the greatest and we will always be thankful for all your help making our wedding wonderful. Not only are you a great coordinator, but we have found a great friend too.

Dear Amy,
We really enjoyed the wedding celebration a great deal more because you and your crew were taking care of everything!
Thanks so very much

May 2002

Dear Amy,
How can we ever thank you enough?! We are so fortunate that you agreed to take us on. Heaven knows what we would have done without you, as a matter of fact, I don't even want to think about it. Until someone sees for himself or herself what a wedding coordinator does, one can't possibly image the work and details involved- it's amazing. Once again, thank you for putting up with my barrage of questions, etc. and for maintaining patience And professionalism all the while! If I had to deal with the many details on Sunday that were necessary, I would have gone crazy and certainly would not have been able to enjoy that special day. I should certainly feel a great sense of accomplishment for everything went beautifully- even better than anticipated. Take good care and continue to be Austin's #1 wedding coordinator. You are with us!
Many thanks with fondness and appreciation,
Judy Ann Eichenbaum (mother of the bride)

April 2002

Dear Amy,
I don't know if we got to tell you how amazing you are, but we will tell you now. Our wedding was the most "happenin" party I've ever had! I mean, people are still telling us how fun and beautiful it was. I was even happy and carefree. You took care of everything for us, and forever and ever, we'll always look back on our wedding day as a fun, exciting party. Not like we're glad it's over J In fact, sometimes I wish it were still about to happen. We love you; Amy- and you did an awesome job!!
Love,
Nicole (Speck) and Stephen Sicola

June 2001

Dear Amy,
Thank you so much for your invaluable contributions to our wedding. With your careful attention to every detail of the wedding, we were actually able to relax once the weekend's events began-to take the time to enjoy ourselves and spend time with our friends and family. When we began the wedding planning process over a year ago, we were confident that you would help us create fun, exciting, and wonderful weekend. It was all of those and more. Thank you as well for your fabulous vendor recommendations-Miss Janette's cakes swept our guests off their feet and the set up was perfect!
Many Thanks,
Tara (Pellenberg) and Mark Levy

March 2002

Dear Amy,
I want to thank you for all your hard work and creativity in putting together my wedding. It was beyond anything I imagined and I was able to enjoy all of it because I knew you had everything under control. You are wonderful at what you doJ
Sincerely,

October 2002

Dear Amy-
Thanks again for asking me to be a part of the Bluntzer/Ley. They really were one of the sweetest couples I've ever worked for (and such fun too!). It is always a highlight to work with you and Anthony. You're the Best! Thanks for supporting my business!

September 2002

Dear Amy-
I understand that it is not socially acceptable to use these cards until Sunday, but I figured that you would forgive my transgression. You ought to be the first to receive a note on this stationery, given your instrumental role in putting everything into place…your guidence; support, patience, and humor have all been such a blessing over the past nine months. I can only begin to thank you for all you have done and will do to pull off what I know will be a magical and beautiful day. I know that I may forget to thank you for all of the hard work on the BIG DAY but you know that we are incredibly grateful. We simply could not have done it without you and really would not have wanted to.
Much thanks and much friendship-
Tiffany (O'Brien) and Mike Nels

Dear Amy-
Now that Matthew and I have finally gotten settled out here in California, I wanted to officially thank you for everything you did to help make my wedding so amazing. You were the best thing to happen to me during my wedding planning. You were able to take thoughts and ideas of mine and make them work together. You helped me to recreate my dreams. My wedding was everything I have ever imagined, dreamed and hoped for. It was perfect and I owe it all to you. I don't really know if this simple card could ever truly express to you my sincere gratitude and appreciation for all that you have done. But, I hope it gives you an idea. Once again, you and Anthony are the best.
Sincerely,
Emily (Rankin) and Matthew Theriot

Dear Amy-
Gosh, Mali and I have finally caught our breath. So I wanted to let you know we really had a blast at our wedding and enjoyed ourselves! Thank you for all the preparation, consulting, execution, and most of all the last minute details you and Anthony did for us. Our families all have sent emails and phone calls about how well they thought the wedding went and like you told us, if it doesn't go exactly as planned, no one will ever know. It was especially great knowing you were always in the background taking care of things. The flowers, cakes, pictures etc. were all very nice! I am sure we will continue to see you around Austin!
Kind Regards-
Mali (Simpson) and Nik Dash

July 2000

In one word, describing Amy and her service…"WONDERFUL". There are simply not enough strong adjectives to explain how thrilled we were with Amy and her team. We had a very extensive wedding way out of town at our Ranch- 250 people coming mainly from Austin. We had LOTS Of extras for the 100 children we had at the wedding. She arranged everything form the Amy's Ice Cream, frozen lemonade (for our daughter), to the petting zoo, pony rides, horse drawn carriage, clowns, cozmo jumper and artist for cartoon pictures of the guests. We had flowers everywhere, handing candles from the trees, and lots of tents to manage. We had to bring in our own electricity and portable bathrooms (real bathrooms- not port a potties); they were air-conditioned complete with lighted mirrors and flowers. We had to have cooler fans, mobile refrigerators for ice and extra lights for the parking area as we started in the light and finished in the dark. She had to arrange for a stage, dance floor, extra food for our 20 attendants in the wedding, singer and keyboard not to mention the band, chairs for ceremony, tables and chairs for the dinner and catering-our ranch is about 50 miles from civilization. We had a party the night before that was for 60 people and was an entirely different theme- including different flowers, table clothes etc., she set it up and tore down to get ready for the big event the next day. We had 4 limos shuttling family back and forth Friday, Saturday and Saturday night. I really wanted to have frozen margaritas in addition to the other beverages and she made that happen. They were wonderful. The cakes were special. My husband's was a cowboy boot with our brand and mine was an exact replica of my cowgirl hat-and they were delicious. I could go on and on.. But everyone that attended the wedding still talks about it as "The Wedding". It was an experience I will never forget. I have given many large parties and events in both my professional as well as personal life and I will say this exceeded every expectation. I am a Vice President at Dell and have very little extra time with a job and two small children. Amy took care of everything. She went out of her way to come to me and work around my schedule and we worked a lot out ion email. I told her what we wanted (right up to the last minute) and she just got it done. All we had to do was find clothes, get the marriage license and show up. She eve took care of dining someone to all of the girl's hair on site. 6 little girls and 4 ladies. They did our make up as well. It was a totally stress free and beautiful experience. Oh, I almost forgot, she even found our minister to marry us. She was absolutely wonderful and made the ceremony very moving and inspirational. There is no doubt that you will be thrilled with Amy. I will definitely ask her to help us on future events. I know that with this kind of event that there should be something small that we could have done differently or could have gone better. Honestly, there is absolutely nothing that nay of us can remember that we would change. We feel strongly that we would never have pulled it off without Amy; she has a very special talent.
Best of Luck to you in your upcoming wedding and new life.
Linda (Hargrove) and Larry York

We wanted to thank you for putting so much work into our wedding. Without all of your help, our day would not have been so perfect. You guys definitely are the best.

Amy-
Thanks so much for all your good work. You really eliminated a lot of the stress that can come from such an event. It was so nice to be able to concentrate on each other and our guests and not even thing about anything else. We really enjoyed spending time with you.
Warm Wishes-
Julie and Hector Garcia

June 2000

Dear Amy-
Ron and I have both been very busy. As you know, we both took new jobs the very day we returned from our honeymoon. However, we would be remiss if we did not take the time to thank you for the outstanding job you did during our wedding planning, as well as during our wedding rehearsal, ceremony and reception. Your services were invaluable. During the past few months, we have talked to couples who were seeking reference information regarding your expertise. We emphatically told them how wonderful you were during the wedding process and the valuable asset and offered services work far more than money could ever buy. Thank you for your competence and best of luck in the future. Please continue to use us as a reference so we can continue to sing your praises.
Sincerely,
Alicia (Moore) and Ron Reynolds
