Dear Amy,
I wanted to write you a note to tell you how pleased my family and I have been with your services as our wedding planner. Having worked with you on three weddings (including my own), I can honestly say I do not know what we would have done without you being a part of our team!

Your sense of style, attention to detail and most importantly, your ability to listen to your client’s vision and dreams, have made each event a special, memorable, and very different experience.

I think you know me well enough now, and my sons and husband will certainly agree, that I have incredibly impossible high standards for perfection. I have personally had peace of mind knowing that your participation and expertise would ensure that all of our wedding weekend celebrations would occur as we planned and expected. Your own standard of professionalism and work ethic surpasses what I would have imagined and goes beyond expectations.

I also want to thank you for adding to our memories by providing us with beautiful and creative photographs, most of which have been better than the professional photographers!

I feel as if you have become a part of our family and hope that we continue to stay in touch. If there is anything I can do to help with recommendations, please do not hesitate to give your prospective clients my name.

It has been a pleasure to work with you.
~ Warm regards, Edwina ~

 

Amy,
The wedding was wonderful! While it was my first wedding to plan, I believe it was far more complicated than most, and it simply could not have gone as smoothly or appeared as beautiful and relaxed without you. Your recommendations of Mike, Peter and Mark were great. People are still calling me and telling me how wonderful the food was. The time and effort Peter put in to planning and re-planning the tenting exceeded my expectations. For a wedding that size and it being outdoors, it is amazing that it was done with what appeared to be relative ease.

I realize there were many details you covered without my even being aware. The photos you took were beautiful, thoughtful and captured the whole event. Many people said it was the best wedding they ever attended. Emily and Evan said it was the best weekend of their lives, thus far.

I hope to be able to have you coordinate other events for us down the road. Feel free to use any pictures from our wedding if you think they might help other brides.

Evan and I both wanted to thank you for helping us plan the absolute best weekend of our lives. Everything was perfect - and we mean that! Although I am so sad that it is over - I am looking forward to pictures and videos - and we will have amazing memories that will last forever.

Thank you again - I cannot express enough how much we loved our wedding weekend - thanks to you. We will be calling you for the next wedding in Wolfeboro.
~ With love and appreciation, Emily and Evan ~

 

Dear Amy,
We wanted to write this letter to thank you for making our wedding go off without a hitch. Without your efforts from the planning stages throughout the event we couldn’t have done it without you. When we originally came to you we told you we were looking for a professional with an eye for detail. Having had gone through our event we can safely say that you lived up to your billing.

Having you as a part of our team we were able to sit back and relax and enjoy our perfect day. Our outdoor ceremony was tastefully decorated and so was the dining room. Thank you for your much needed input to make it that way.

We appreciate all your efforts in coordinating our event the day of. It was so relaxing watching our guests move from the cocktail hour to the dining area without us having to do a thing. With you in charge, we were able to use the time with our photographer to capture the sunset as a back drop for all of our wedding photos.

At the end of the night we were able to walk to each table and talk to our guests. All of them commented on how great the day turned out. It was at that moment we knew that not only was the day great for the both of us but it was a smashing hit for our guests. With that said a final thank you for helping make our wedding day a day we will always remember. Thanks again.

P.S. The pictures you took were amazing!! You really captured some amazing moments and some of the photos are definitely artwork!
~ Jeff and Melissa ~

~ Amy ~

 

Amy,
I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you were able to help Amy and Drew put together the wedding of their dreams!!!! There was not a soul that did not come up to us and tell us it was the best wedding and event they had ever been to!! Everything was lovely and the flow of the entire evening was just perfect. I will be sure to recommend your services to anyone inquiring.
~ Edwina (Mother of Drew) ~

 

Amy,
Thank you again for everything - especially being so accommodating with me. I’m sure it wasn’t easy working with another event planner.

All aspects of the wedding were absolutely perfect, actually more than perfect. Still today, people talk about how incredible our wedding was. It is always a topic of conversation.

In my job, I have dealt with event planners and suppliers all over the world, and I work with some of the very best here in Chicago on a weekly basis. I have to say that working with you was an absolute pleasure from the very first email. You have a great talent for making people feel comfortable in your abilities and you were always there for advice and suggestions. Although we quickly formed a personal friendship with you, your professionalism was never compromised. We had 100% confidence in your ability to manage a very complex wedding day, allowing Jen and I to focus on having a great time. We never felt a single moment of apprehension when it came to the wedding details. It is very apparent that you put your heart and soul into everything you do, and we knew that you took a sincere interest in making our wedding day the best it could possibly be.

We know that you did a lot of things for us that were way above and beyond the call of duty, especially staying very late into the night after the ceremony, and countless long drives for site inspections. I'm sure there was a lot that we don't even know about. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It was a sincere pleasure working with you Amy. Should you ever need a reference, or anything at all, please feel free to contact us. I would be happy to help in anyway I can - and Jen and I both hope to keep in touch.
~ Scott Baker (President, Chicago Travel Consultants – DMC) ~

 

AIM!!!
There just isn't enough paper for me to tell you how awesome you are and how we had the PERFECT wedding. So I apologize in advance for my weak attempt to sound grown up and appreciative because really all I want to do is give you tons of hugs and smiles and thank you every year for giving me the time of my life....
~ Lindsay ~

 

A referral letter written by Lindsay to an inquiring bride on my behalf:

I can't say enough about Amy. Having the wedding outside was the best decision, but there were a lot of details that I hadn't thought about. Amy took care of everything. She made a lot of suggestions, narrowed down a lot of decisions and took care of all the little details that you definitely do not want to be thinking about the day before and the day of the wedding. She has a great relationship with local vendors, is easy to work with and most importantly, she is exceptional at taking an idea you have that is most likely improbable and turning it into a feasible situation. There are many things that are either financially or logistically impossible but somehow Amy is able to make it work I'm sure you have heard this before from other people but I loved my wedding. Every part. Amy had a huge role in that. My husband and I both feel that the price we paid was well worth the stress free planning and wedding we had.
~ Lindsay ~

 

Amy,
Thank you for all your help in planning our wedding.  You connected us to vendors that were excellent, knowledgeable and dependable.  Your experience and advice helped us think of every detail – big and small – that contributed to our wedding being a beautiful, unique, and incredibly fun event!  You being there from beginning to end on the wedding day made such a difference – I didn’t have to worry about a single detail during the ceremony/reception – and your hard work ensured that everything went smoothly.  We can’t say enough – your services helped make our wedding a wonderful, memorable event.  Thank you.
~ Erika ~

 

Dear Amy,
We just wanted to take a few moments to thank you for all of the time and effort that you put into our wedding and reception. I’m sure that all brides at some point can relate to the stress of planning a wedding. It’s a lot more difficult when you are planning a NH wedding from out of state. Luckily for us we found you.

Not only did you take the stress away by getting in touch with vendors that we chose beforehand and had a tough time reaching but you also recommended excellent vendors for things we had yet to think about. You gave us great, unique ideas and on top of everything else you made us feel like we were the only people you were working with (what bride doesn’t like that kind of personal attention?).

I would have to say the thing that most impressed us was from speaking with us through countless e-mails and phone calls you were able to pull the wedding and reception together without us ever seeing the finished product until the day of the wedding. While I’m sure this would be hard for some couples it was easy for us because of the trust we established with you. People that I talk to are still amazed at how we could relinquish control and not have any idea what our reception site, etc would look like after it was decorated. We were very happy with everything including the fact that you even met with the florist more than once to make sure that the flowers coordinated with the “mystery” design that you had in mind. You never lost sight of our vision.

During the wedding day you orchestrated things perfectly and made it easy. It was like taking guidance from a member of the family. That’s what you became to us— a member of our family. We would gladly do it all over again and still today we tell everyone that we just could not have done it without you!!!
~ Sincerely, Dave & Cec ~

 

Dear Amy,
It was a true pleasure working with you! Julie's wedding was perfect! Your ideas were terrific, your input worthwhile, and your stamina unreal! I only wish we had relinquished our reigns to you earlier. Once we all decided that you were the "go to" person everything just fell into its proper place. Being a "type A" personality, giving up control is huge, but you tactfully and gently suggested I do so, "because that's what you do!" I could then really enjoy the final days of preparation and concentrate on Julie and Luke. I felt like a guest at the actual event because I knew you were there overseeing everything. Please feel free to give out my name and number to anyone who wants a reference for you. I will give you the rave reviews you deserve! Best regards and all the best to you and your family always!

P.S. AMY!!!!! These pix are fantastic! I LOVE THEM! You captured all the details! (Leave it to a woman!) We are going to use one of your photos for our holiday card. I think you should advertise your photography skills too - your photos are sooooo good! Thanks so much for these - WOW!
~ Joan (Mother of the Bride) ~

 

Amy was a dream to work with and hiring her as our wedding coordinator made our entire wedding weekend flawless. Her extensive knowledge in all aspects of the wedding industry allowed her to help us transform our visions of our rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception into realities. During the planning process, she provided wonderful, affordable suggestions regarding décor, food, and beverages. She was always warm yet professional, and was able to work extremely well with the innkeeper of our wedding venue. She made an effort to get to know my husband and me so that on our wedding day, when questions arose, she could make informed decisions with us in mind so that we wouldn’t have to be bothered with details. Amy also took beautiful pictures at our wedding. The gift CD she gave us is truly a treasure. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience working with Amy; it truly was a pleasure, and the peace of mind she provided us was priceless.
~ Julie and Luke ~

 

Amy,
Thanks for all you do to assist us when we have events in New England. We know that if we ever need additional help, we can always call Signature Events! Your staff is professional, talented, and enthused. You understand our needs for top quality presentations with a high attention to detail and you know how much we value customer service. I know I can’t go wrong when you are involved.
~ Scott Graham (President, Excellent Meetings) ~

 

Working with Signature Events is always a pleasure for the NHLRA. The fact that every detail is carefully considered from planning to onsite ensures us of a successfully executed event every time. Even more impressive, is that Signature Events has truly taken the time to ‘know’ our association, our members, our culture – and therefore not only has become an integral part of streamlining the process, but also provides important creative and visionary advice that keeps our events fresh and attractive.
~ Michelline Dufort (President, New Hampshire Lodging and Restaurant Assoc.) ~

 

As Co-chairs of the Festival of Trees we have worked with Amy Piper of Signature Events for the past 9 years. She has been Chairman of the Preview Gala for 6 of those 9 years and in that time we have found Amy to never give less than 110% to, single-handedly and on a volunteer basis, put together the Festival of Trees Preview Gala. The Gala is the most talked about and most anticipated event in the Wolfeboro area. Amy coordinates every facet of this event with professionalism and a dedication to detail and we truly enjoy working with her.
~ Sandi Johnson and Carolyn Sundquist (Co-chairs, Festival of Trees) ~

 

Aim,
A note of appreciation for your tremendous work and effort to help make my Mardi Gras party at the Castle in the Clouds, the best party ever. Your attention to detail, vendors, decoration, presentation, options, ordering and follow through was exceptional. I could never have done it without you. You made attending my own party a pleasurable event, which I have very fond memories of. You worked your butt off and everything in your control was perfect! Feel free to use me as a reference anytime.
~ Paul Zimmerman ~

 

Signature Events has planned a number of successful net-working and social events for us in addition to being the reliable source we call for our entertainment needs. We choose to work with Signature Events time and time again because of the professionalism, creativity, attention to detail and knowledge of reputable vendors that Signature Events provides.
~ Gene Goodwin (Executive Director, Sugar Hill Retirement Community) ~

 

Amy,
It seems like yesterday I was your first client, but 10 years ago you assisted with the Hawaiian Luau party at our home. Your knowledge of the right vendors helped to make our party a very successful one. To this day, I still get comments about how much fun our party was. It was such a wonderful evening with the pig roast, live music and our own sand dance area.

Over the years you have handled our company holiday gatherings. Your attention to details, such as location for the event, appropriate décor for the dining room and various entertainment choices each year have made our gatherings very memorable for our employees. I have been able to thoroughly enjoy the evening with everyone without having to worry about a thing. Each year we invited some of our subcontractors. It has been said that they only worked for us so they could attend the holiday gathering at the end of the year!

For the past three years, I have turned to you for help with our company teambonding events. Each event has been memorable due to the locations, teambonding event and food. It is truly a great day for me and our employees to spend a day away from work to get to know each other in a different setting and laugh at each other. It is definitely a nice break from our day-to-day work.

For the past two years you have helped with a fundraiser dear to my heart. I just know when I call you, there is weight taken off of my shoulders. Your assistance allows me to do my work, and I know everything will be fantastic with you on my team!

Thank you for all that you have done and your professionalism in working with me.
~ Catherine Drouin (Vice President, Green Mountain Communications) ~

 

We found Signature Events doing a Google search and we are glad we did. We had an international conference coming up in Colorado and had just lost our executive. Amy picked up the pieces and was able to execute perfectly...online registration,
e-news updates, sponsor requests, A/V needs, meeting rooms, hotel liaison for us at The Broadmoor...whatever the conference committee needed she gladly took care of it. We liked her so much that we had Signature Events do our next conference at Opryland in Nashville. Who would of thought that an event planner in Wolfeboro, NH would be able to pull this off? Maybe there is a reason why NH is first in the nation.
