Thank You's...
What an enjoyable thing to do... to have the opportunity to write and present a wedding ceremony and often coordinate entire weddings. I have met wonderful couples who have come to this beautiful Lake Tahoe Area and allowed me to be a part of their lives as the begin the journey called Marriage. Following, are some of the notes I have received. You will notice that some of these notes have come from what have been traditional weddings. With our laws changing, I hope to soon have more notes from gay and lesbian couples too!
Dearest Ann,
Where do we begin to thank you for the wonderful service you provided for us? The cool October weather, the beauty of Lake Tahoe and the warmth of your heart made our wedding day perfect. Although our friends and family could not attend, your positive, caring and relaxed demeanor made us think we had known you for years. If ever there was a minister who truly evoked the spirit of God that would be you. Scott and I are from different Christian backgrounds and you proved that God loves everyone as we love Him.
With the deepest gratitude we say thank you so very much for everything. _Terry Elkington and Scott Taylor
Ann,
Thank you for helping us create the perfect wedding day. Nature provided a wonderful backdrop for the exchanging of vows and pictures to forever spark our memories. Your kindness, acceptance and humor made our day on the we will never forget! Best to you!
__The two couples, all women who came to Tahoe to share their Special Day with their best friends.
Dear Ann,
We just wanted to Thank You for everything you did to help make our wedding so wonderful. On the drive up that day we both commented that we'd never seen the Lake look as blue. We couldn't have dreamed of a day more perfect. When we arrived at Skylandia Park we were both very nervous with anticipation of the wedding and with our families being present; we were definitely out of our comfort zone. Your calmness and sense of humor helped to help us relax and be able to enjoy the day. The ceremony that you wrote was a true reflection of us. The pictures you took turned out great and we received the cd within a week. We have made picture albums for family members and made some enlargements. Everyone who has seen the pictures comment on what a great job you did. We loved the champagne and cake that you gave us. We especially appreciated the fact that you did everything to take care of the marriage license for us; we received it in the mail within 2 weeks of the ceremony. We have had a number of people ask about you after seeing our pictures so we have referred them to your website. You are a great person and we wish you the best.
Thanks again for everything. _Jenni Jones and Tami Roggensack
Our Dearest Ann,
We want to thank you for officiating our wedding. Our day was heavenly, and it could not have been more perfect. We especially thank you for all of your work behind the scenes to ensure that we experienced a memorable day. We thank you for going beyond the call of duty; we thoroughly enjoyed all the gifts---that was a nice touch. We will never forget the special time we had in Squaw Valley. Lodging in your Poole's Guesthouse was also a big treat, and having the caterer prepare our dinner party there made everything flow nicely and was very convenient for not only Neil and I, but for our guests as well. They are still talking about the wonderful experience they had at our reception. God bless you for your talents and for the huge heart you have to serve others in the manner that you do. We thank you for helping us enjoy the beginning of what will be a wonderful life together. __Neil and Miggie Buffler
Ann is terrific! I highly recommend her. I was lucky enough to find her website and was impressed with the beautiful pictures and how simple she made the whole wedding process. It was a refreshing change from some of the stress-filled weddings that we had attended as guests; Ann took care of everything! I emailed her and she called back the same day. answering all of our questions. It was great to be able to have her write our ceremony to reflect our thoughts and feelings, and the text she provided us was truly beautiful. The pictures were terrific too. Ann definitely can bring out the best in a photo. It was truly a special day, and definitely exceeded our expectations. The location was gorgeous. If I had to do it again, I wouldn not change a thing! I have recommended Ann to several people already! __Mark and Jennifer Restivo
Ann, I just wanted to write to say how much we loved our wedding! You were so helpful with all of the planning and the vows you wrote were beautiful! I will never forget our wedding day because it was exactly what we wanted, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Keith and I talk about it sometimes and agree that the location and the service itself were everything we were looking for to celebrate our day. Simple, elegant, and our close family and friends there. That backdrop on top of everything else, breathtaking!
Thank you again! You are forever in our hearts! _ Keith and Gabrielle Overton
Ann, I want to thank you so much for performing our wedding. I really enjoyed working with you, your creativity, professionalism, responsiveness and the way you made our wedding day special. You advice as to local suppliers was also invaluable. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be and more. You were terrific - thank you. _ Linda and Denis Winter
Dearest Ann,
AJ and I want to thank you again for our beautiful ceremony, all the hard work and all the "little extras" that you helped us with. Planning a wedding when you live hundreds of miles away can be frustrating, but with your help you made the process very enjoyable. We are still talking about how smooth and perfect our wedding day was. The location was perfect; thank God the weather held out just long enough for us to get pictures. The reception dinner could not have been at a better place; the service and food were exceptional!
Thanks again for your professionalism, attention to detail and your understanding of what we were looking for. We just can't thank you enough! We were truly blessed that my mom contacted you for our wedding ceremony, as well as the planning. We absolutely appreciate all the work you put into making our day so special for us and for our family members that joined us. You are a wonderful person with a big heart, a great sense of humor and you will always be our Fairy Godmother!
God Bless! _ AJ and Tracy Pighin
Ann, I just want to let you know that I have read through the ceremony options about a hundred times. They are all so beautiful, and I can't make up my mind. You write such wonderful ceremonies and it's so hard to choose which parts I like best. I thought you would like to know. _ Sheena Meyer (Later, Mrs. David Steiner)
Hello dear Ann,
We absolutely enjoyed our honeymoon and after having returned to Switzerland we informed our family about our wedding. Some of them have been surprised, others said, "We knew that you would be doing something like that." All are very excited and happy for us when looking at the great pictures of our wedding day. We have to state again how happy we are that you made our day so nice and the ceremony just great. For us it was really the greatest day of our life and we are so glad to have found you as our minister. _ Christine Storti and Martin Schmied
Christine and Martin still live in Switzerland and continue to send emails from time to time. They are now the proud parents of a beautiful baby boy named Leonardo.
Dear Ann,
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for all of your assistance in both planning and performing our wedding. As you know, I had very little time (only a week and a half) and was in somewhat of a panic to get everything in place. When I found you, I immediately felt as ease with your professional attitude and warm personality. I just knew I was in good hands and need not worry. I was correct. Thank you for the quality in your preparation of not only our ceremony but in all of our arrangements including lodging, wedding location, wedding reception, wedding cake, flowers, photographer, hairdresser, massage, and limousine service. Everything was impeccable! Michael and I cannot wait to celebrate our first anniversary in Lake Tahoe. Ann, you made our special event wonderful and memorable. Thank you!" _ Vicki Rae McMullen
We were thrilled with all you did to make our day special and meaningful for us. Your recommendations for lodging and dining were perfect. I think the work you do is wonderful because you give couples like Greg and I the chance to work with you to create our own ceremonies. For us, being outside in God's "most beautiful sanctuary" was ideal. _ Greg and Jill Hall
Ann, it's been 7 months since that wonderful day at Lake Tahoe. Ron and I are still laughing and having great fun. Not only have we enjoyed the pictures of our wedding, but so has almost everyone who knows us. I know the gals I work with at Tucson High are probably getting tired of me asking them if they want to see them. It's so great looking at them and bringing back the feelings of the day. How can I not laugh when I'm married to Ron... in my first marriage I never would have believed that two people could have so much fun. We both still laugh when I get excited and start babbling about me being his wife or him being my husband. What a lucky couple we are! And... I'm amazed at the different level of commitment we have with each other. It's so different being "family" instead of just living together. Again, thank you so much for your wonderful help with our ceremony. You started us off on this wonderful new life with the most intimate, beautiful wedding ceremony. Thank you. _ Devora Olson
Hi Ann,
Dave and I have returned home from Lake Tahoe and we are settling into our new life together. Thank you for the wonderful wedding ceremony you provided us with. The setting was beautiful and ceremony was so touching... it felt like a dream. Thank you for making our day so special! You are a fun, inspirational person and we really enjoyed your company. Again, thank you Ann, for making our wedding day so memoriable. _ Lisa Wight
It was a pleasure meeting you and we just want to say thank you for everything. You are very unique in letting the bride and groom customize their wedding. Everyone we have talked to about it said they thought it was great and makes it even more special. Thank you so much for the cake which was great. You are so thoughtful and definitely covered everything. We sure do wish we were still there. But back to reality, in this Arizona heat. _ Richard and Janine Garrobo
We wanted to write you once again to say thanks. You made our wedding day very special - one we will not forget. The location was gorgeous and the pictures you took were fabulous! Also, the ceremony was very touching. It fit exactly how we felt about each other. We will recommend your services to others whenever the opportunity arises. With our copy of the ceremony we can look back at them and remember how we felt when we first spoke them. Not to be forgotten was the cake (oh, so delicious!! - chocolate, like there's anything else) and the goody bag you gave us after the ceremony. We truly appreciate your services and how comfortable you made us feel. Thanks again. _ Jack and Shelley Lowry
Hi Ann! We are home now in Oregon and happily married... (thanks to you)! Just want to let you know how special our wedding day was because of you. It was the perfect day and the most beautiful setting for our intimate lakeside wedding. We felt so much peace and happiness there and are sure to return many times more. You are so special Ann. We took the cake to a private park overlooking the lake the night of the fourth of July and we had a slice while watching the fireworks. The rest, made it home to Oregon. There was definitely more than two slices to that decadence! I really, really hope that we can meet again sometime. We hope to get back there next year to celebrate our anniversary too. Thank you abundantly for being so gracious. Your the best! Many blessings always to you. _ Love, Holly and Paul Gagnon
Thank you Ann, it was a beautiful ceremony. It was just what we wanted and the pictures you took are terrific! I just wish we had stayed at Poole's Guesthouse! _ Lee and Pam Ghiglieri
Dear Ann,
We want to thank you for our beautiful wedding day. What started out as an elopement and turned into a full wedding party, was more than we could have dreamed of. Even after we changed our minds and the wedding plans time and again, you took it all with such grace. Your sense of humor is something that I will forever be grateful for. Brett and I would not change a thing about our wedding and I hope you know how special you made everything for us. Our best wishes and may your life be as happy as you helped make ours. _Thank you, Brett and Tina Farish
Dearest Ann,
Steve and I would again like to thank you for the most beautiful day of our lives. You as a person Ann are as beautiful as the heavenly scenery of Lake Tahoe. Our wedding experience with you was absolutely perfect and would not have changed a thing! You have a gift and we feel fortunate for selecting you to perform our glorious union. The pictures, absolutely beautiful, are true artwork and far exceeded our expectations. _ Sincerely, Ruth and Steve Hanebrink
Ann, the pictures are wonderfull, we are very pleased!!! Thanks again for making our day so special. The champagne glasses are beautiful. We will certainly spread the word to anyone renewing vows or getting married. Thanks for all your efforts, and may God Bless you! _ Charlie and Lana Donahue
