| A Whole Lotta Love |
| We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our Shi Shi brides and grooms! We love our design and detail meetings, the days and nights spent getting things "just right", the first time we see our girl all dressed up and ready to go, and the amazing rush of wedding day! And so, we are completely thrilled when our brides and grooms tell us how much they LOVE, LOVE, LOVE us! Now that's a whole lotta love... A REAL LIFE FAIRYTALE "Gina, Where do I even begin. I have been drafting a thank you letter to you for weeks, but every time I seal the envelope, I think of at least two more things to say. Thank you for all that you did to make our wedding day become a real life fairytale. With the help of you, Joe, and the girls of Shi Shi Events, I really felt like a princess. The crazy visions that have been bouncing in and out of my head since I was a little girl became a reality and were executed beautifully. You and the rest of Shi Shi Events made wedding planning fun, exciting, and most importantly stress free for me, Rusty, and our families. Thank you for caring and giving me so much of your time, wedding planning or just girl time. You have an amazing gift! Without you, I would have cried down the aisle, and my picture would have looked awful, hahaha. Thank you for being there for me and know that I will always be there for you. Love, Sam (& Rusty too!)" {anniversary 7/30} "Gina, We are so grateful for everything you did! You were a blessing from above. (Joe & Katie were pretty darn great too). -George & Karen" {MOB & FOB of Sam} _______________________________________________ COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW BEAUTIFUL EVERYTHING WAS “Dear Gina, Words cannot express how grateful I am that you helped in coordinating my daughter’s wedding day. Everyone had a terrific time at Anna Marie & Bill’s wedding. My family from out of town couldn’t believe how beautiful everything was. If it wasn’t for all your help it would not have been possible to give my daughter a beautiful wedding. Keep in touch. Affectionately, Mary” {MOB of Anna Marie anniversary 10/1} _______________________________________________ AMAZING "Gina, What can I say - you are amazing, thank you for all you have done, this wedding is going to be gorgeous, I couldn’t have done it without you! You are an amazing wedding planner and I will always love and cherish the bond we have developed over the year planning this wedding. Thank you! Love, Lindsay” {anniversary 7/2} _______________________________________________ SIMPLY THE BEST "Gina, We have tried to write you many times and couldn't find the right words to thank you for all you did for our wedding. We finally realize it is going to be hard to put our appreciation into words, but we will try. In summary, know from the bottom of our hearts we thank you for making our version of a "dream wedding" into a reality. Thinking back to the time we decided we wanted to hire a wedding coordinator we had several reasons for doing so. A couple of reasons we decided to hire a planner were: - We had no idea what we were doing and didn't know where to start. - We didn't know what type of wedding we wanted. - We didn't have time to research vendors to find the best for our style and budget. - Most importantly, we didn't want to worry about details on our wedding day, nor did we want our parents bothered with any work leading up to and the day of the wedding. Thanks to you, all of our reasons for hiring a planner were justified plus much more. As mentioned, we were not sure what we wanted our wedding day to look like. We started by wanting a spring or fall wedding on water or some sort of scenery and you helped us seek out these locations and show us the logistics involved. You were more than patient with us when we realized that idea was not what best suited us. You helped us talk through what was lacking in our first plan and then helped us to find what it was we truly did want for "our day". We appreciate the fact that you were never pushy to try and force us to make a decision we weren't comfortable with; I have heard from friends they were rushed to make a decision they later regretted and this was never the case with you. Your work ethic proved to us you would work tirelessly until we were happy. The first time we talked we said we wanted our wedding to reflect us as a couple and you promised our guests would walk away feeling the day represented us well. This was absolutely the case. The number of times our friends and family have said the wedding very much reflected us is countless and for us that is the best compliment we could receive. Looking back, the day and days leading up to our wedding were a dream come true. We loved the fact that by spending time with us you quickly found key elements that were important to us and made them a part of our day. We, of course, are biased but we have never been to a wedding that was both elegant and a complete blast. If we had a dollar for every person that said our wedding was the best, most fun, or most beautiful wedding they have ever been to we would have our wedding paid for. As the bride and groom we feel incredibly lucky to have had as much fun as we did on our wedding day. When we say it was the best day of our life we also mean it was the most fun we could have possibly had. We have seen many of our friends who didn't seem to enjoy their wedding because they were stressed or busy with details. Neither of us felt one ounce of stress and were able to enjoy the day knowing you would take care of everything and anything needed. Thank you for that precious gift. Thank you, Gina, for taking charge to help us find Cleveland's best wedding vendors and then guiding them to turn our vision into a reality. You're simply the best. Mandy & Scott" {anniversary 2/19} _______________________________________________ FAR EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS "Dear Gina, Brian & I are finally getting settled into "real life" post-wedding. We often can't believe how fast our engagement went and that it's all over. :( We had a great time planning the wedding with you and an even better time enjoying it on our big day! Thank you for helping to plan such an amazing and beautiful day for us. Our family and friends are still talking about it, many claiming it was "the best wedding they've ever been to!" The final day far exceeded our expectations - and looking back - it was a very easy process for us. You helped us to meet our overall goal in hiring a planner; plan an amazing wedding in less than six months all while working crazy jobs and caring for Joshua! :) The process was virtually stress free and at many times throughout the process I was so glad you were there to work out the details or resolve a potential issue. This allowed Brian & I to enjoy our engagement. Lastly, a big thanks for your amazing vendor recommendations. We were not interested (nor did we have time) to interview multiple vendors. It was so helpful to be able to fully trust your preferred vendor recommendations and everything from the photographer to the cake was absolutely amazing! We wish you much continued success & happiness!! Best, Sarah & Brian" {anniversary 12/10} _______________________________________________ FUN & ENJOYABLE "Gina, Thank you so much for all your help in planning our wedding! It was so much fun, you made the process fun and enjoyable. You did a great job of keeping me & everyone organized. Thank you so much for all your help, dedication, and great ideas! Sincerely, Becky & Bob" {anniversary 10/16} _______________________________________________ UNFORGETTABLE "Gina, We just wanted to say thank you again for everything you did for us. You truly made our wedding day one of the most special, memorable, and unforgettable days of our lives. Thank you again! Love, Jenn & Anthony" {anniversary 6/19} _______________________________________________ COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU "Gina, Thank you so much for all your help with planning the wedding. We could not have done it without you or asked for a better day. We had several family members tell us how great you were! :) Thank you again! Love, Lacey & Sam" {anniversary 5/15} _______________________________________________ WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION "Gina, Words cannot even begin to express my appreciation! You truly made a bland hall turn into a magical place! We received so many compliments, and I wanted you to know how much of a difference you made. The ambiance was perfect! Thank you, Mike & Danielle" {anniversary 9/4} _______________________________________________ ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I MADE "One of the best decisions I made in the planning of my wedding was bringing Gina on board – she brought new ideas to the table and made the whole experience worry-free and flawless. As a design professional, I know I had definite ideas and a specific style I was hoping for - Gina took the time to get to know ME and could pinpoint exactly what design elements would complete and complement my vision. I cannot thank Gina enough for taking the time to listen to my obsessive ramblings and ideas and for turning them into the wedding of my dreams!" - Heather {anniversary 6/6} _______________________________________________ ABOVE & BEYOND "Dear Gina & Shi Shi Family, Thank you; thank you; thank you!!! We are so very grateful to have had you on our team! We could not have done it without you! You went above and beyond to make our day not only gorgeous but a reality!!! You became a good friend, who truly cared about us and that means the world! With love, Dan & Erica" {anniversary 7/11} _______________________________________________ MOST WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED "It was an honor to work with Gina and Shi Shi Events when planning our wedding. Gina possesses the gift of being able to listen to her clients and create an event that reflects their styles and personalities. It was important to us that our wedding was personal for every guest that attended. Thanks to Gina's insight and vision, not only did our guests enjoy themselves, but we still receive compliments and accolades for how beautiful, elegant, and fun our wedding was. Gina and Shi Shi Events exceeded our expectations and provided us with the most wonderful experience we could have imagined." -Brooke {anniversary 7/21} _______________________________________________ WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND "Being a marketing professional, I know that attention to detail and day-of coordination are essential to ensuring a successful event. While any wedding planner can boast these skills, Gina and her team go a step further to make each wedding unique and special to the couple. Working with Gina and her staff enabled me, Jeff and our family to relax and enjoy our big day. I would highly recommend Shi Shi Events to anyone planning a wedding. Whether it’s brainstorming unique ideas to develop an exceptional wedding or ensuring vendors deliver on their promise, Gina and her team do a fabulous job throughout the entire process." - Lauren {anniversary 12/6} _______________________________________________ SEAMLESS & MEMORABLE "We were so thrilled with Gina’s work at our wedding. We originally sought out a planner to help us come up with unique details for our wedding to really make it special for us and our guests. Gina helped make that a reality. Anyone planning a wedding knows there is more to it than just picking out napkin colors – and Gina’s service definitely reached beyond typical planning and execution – she was there to assist with the full range of wedding issues, including family, stress, emotions and budgeting. Our wedding was as seamless as it was memorable, and we have Gina to thank for that. She made the planning process as special and as enjoyable as the wedding day itself, and we are so happy to have worked with her. Thank you Gina!!!" -Colleen {anniversary 8/25} _______________________________________________ THINGS COULDN'T HAVE TURNED OUT BETTER "Hi Gina, I can't believe the wedding's over! Mike and I were so happy with the way everything turned out. Thank you so much for all your help and hard work with it all!...Again, thanks so much for everything! It was such a great night! Things couldn't have turned out better! All the best, Cynthia" {anniversary 9/5} _______________________________________________ I DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT A THING "I am so pleased that we chose Shi Shi Events to help coordinate our wedding. Gina had such wonderful ideas and suggestions throughout the whole process that helped make our special day unique and memorable for everyone. The best part was that I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of my wedding - everything was handled for me seamlessly!" -Monica {anniversary 7/20} _______________________________________________ FLAWLESS EXECUTION "Gina was extremely helpful in every aspect of planning my wedding. She listened to my concerns, put me in touch with great contacts, and delivered flawless execution on my wedding day. I was at ease knowing that she and her staff were there. I would recommend Gina and Shi Shi Events for any event I was planning. " -Elizabeth {anniversary 5/12} _______________________________________________ TOOK CARE OF EVERY DETAIL "Gina's relationships with some of Cleveland's best vendors were terrific. And the day of our wedding went flawlessly - Gina and her staff took care of every detail!" -Lisa {anniversary 8/18} _______________________________________________ HARD WORK & ENTHUSIASM IS CONTAGIOUS "Gina's hard work and enthusiasm is contagious. She will explore every avenue in order to make your vision appear, all the while making it fun and memorable!" -Erin (anniversary 7/19} |
