Hi Amanda, if I may pay you a compliment, thank you for listening and understanding what I I want. Of the few places I have spoken with, you are the only one who listened and kept with what I want. I’m very open to suggestions but some are very pushy in some regards and go on tangents when all they need to do is listen first. I felt you listened and your ideas are really good. Kym Gray

Hi Amanda,

thanks for the photos you have sent through – they are great!  I just wanted to say thank you again for all the hard work you put in with the bouquets and cake and reception decorations.  You really exceeded my expectations with all that you did and I had many lovely comments from numerous people.  I will be recommending you to all my friends that have upcoming weddings or events.  

Well once again a big thank you!  

Cheers

Alaine Roberts
