Sarah

 I tried writing a reference for the wonderful work you did for us for our Wedding in July, but it was a bit waffly and so I’ve condensed how we feel into something hopefully a little more succinct!

 S:Super organised, your meticulous planning, transparent budgeting and vast range of supplier contacts helped us work out what we wanted and how we were going to do it

O:Over and above in everything! Nothing seemed to be too much trouble even on the occasions when I felt perhaps we’d asked too much!

F:Fastidious attention to detail at every step of the way – with even a few surprises thrown in. I will always remember the sprigs of ribboned rosemary pinned onto the waiting staff’s outfits! Such a nice touch.

T:Thoughtful and intuitive, with heaps of creativity thrown in for good measure – the olive trees with fairy lights, the archery and croquet, the party bags for the kids...

L:Listened to our brief and to all the feedback, responding brilliantly (and sometimes patiently where needed) along the way.

E:Exceptionally easy to deal with, with no unnecessary pretension but remaining wonderfully professional throughout – in fact, I really do miss our chats!

Y:Youthful, energetic and fresh ideas combined with good old fashioned common sense and always 100% solution orientated.

E:Exclusively tailored to our vision, your management and delivery of the day was better than we could have imagined.

V:Virtually inconspicuous but you were a reassuring and subtle presence throughout proceedings, driving the flow without being over prominent.

E:Every eventuality prepared for with nothing left to chance – although we were very glad not to have to use the white umbrellas we had hired! 

N:Nothing went wrong – Nada, Naught, Nix!! (and if it did, behind the scenes.....we certainly didn’t know about it!)

T:Trustworthy – we felt very safe in your hands and the whole experience was enhanced by the complete lack of worry on our part.

S:Sensitive and diplomatic during the run up preparations but also on the day itself – always crucial when families are involved!!

To sum up, in a nutshell, pretty damn good Mrs Softley!!!

We would recommend you highly to anyone and everyone.  

Thanks so much again – I really don’t know what we would have done without you!

 Jo and James Simmonds
