I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did decorating the ceremony and reception site for our recent wedding.  Having given you very little guidance…"I like pink and brown"…you did an amazing job of making our wedding a beautiful affair that everyone commented on and looks so fabulous in photos.  Your little surprises were so touching.  As our day-of wedding coordinator, you completely took the stress of the day out of my hands, and I never once thought about worrying about anything, as I knew it was being taken care of.  At the end of the day, my entire wedding party was wondering where they could get a “Madeline” to help organize their lives.  Again, thank you so much for everything you did for us, you truly helped make our special day that much more fabulous.

Hello ladies, I wanted to let you know that I was blown away by how totally gorgeous our room looked on our wedding day. You went above and beyond anything that I had imagined and I am STILL getting compliments. Everyone has told me that it was the most beautiful wedding that they have ever been to. Thank you both so much for all of your continuous effort and help with everything. My wedding was perfect!

Sincerely,
Amie & Brian Kidd

I knew I wanted to have a Wedding Day Coordinator because I am the type of person to get very stressed if things are not going as planned. Because of our day-of-planner from Madeline'sI enjoyed my entire day and did not stress at all. Our wedding planners made sure everything was taken care of from delivering flowers, dealing with the hotel reception manager, my slideshow, food, to making sure my grandfather who came in from a nursing home was OK and so much more!!  Our planners were absolutely wonderful!! I didn't have to worry about a thing which is exactly what I wanted :) I knew that if I didn't have them I would be stressing and tense throughout the day. Because of them I was a calm, relaxed bride the entire day!  Madeline's Weddings was there for every task. I literally did not have to worry about a thing. My entire family and wedding party were really grateful to have them there!

I will highly recommend Madeline's Weddings to all my friends that get engaged. I don't know what I would have done without you guys!

I want to start by thanking all the staff at Madeline’s Weddings for the phenomenal job done on my wedding!!! I had so many obstacles to overcome for the big day and Madeline’s Weddings just put my mind at ease. When I walked into my banquet room, tears started flowing at how beautiful my room turned out and that made my special day soo much more special. Every detail was meticulously done to perfection and I just had an amazing time! I want to give a heartfelt thanks again to everyone for just an absolutely awesome job. I felt like I walked into a storybook wedding. I can’t thank you enough for everything. There were things I never would of thought of taking care of for the wedding had I not consulted in the help of Madeline’s Weddings. You gave me your undivided attention and anytime I had a question about anything, you were always there to answer my questions and put me at ease. Continue doing the great work you do. I hope to see you again for my 25th wedding anniversary!!! Lots of thanks and love

The wedding day was great. The room was beautiful! I walked into the St. Charles Golf & Country Club at 5:00pm and it was everything I’d imagined it would be and even better. We are members at St. Charles and spend a lot of time there golfing but that night it felt like we were having the party of our lives in our own home. The General Manager of St. Charles commented the next day to us that it was most elegant wedding they have seen at the club and from him that’s a huge compliment. The purple and green was the perfect choice to compliment the room especially the hints of the dark purple it looked very elegant. And the cake, candy table and signing table looked great. I have gotten a lot of compliments from many people. And now Blair finally understands that the basic St. Charles white table cloths maybe weren’t the way to go after all!

Thanks again Madeline for all of your help and a job very well done!

Madeline,

The wedding was amazing!  There were a few hiccups along the way but thank god our coordinators were there to take care of everything!  I am not sure where where we would be without them. They were so organized and friendly.  Even our parents said they did an amazing job.  My sister said to me "wow, I am going to get a wedding coordinator when I get married - they helped you so much.  I always thought they never really did anything".
 
The wedding coordinators were amazing at the rehearsal.  They helped us figure out what order we should go in, how fast to walk, etc.  Our priest was even bouncing ideas off of them....we couldn't have asked for more.  I guess they had noticed that I looked a little nervous at the rehearsal so they made sure to give me a few words of encouragement on the big day before I walked down the aisle.  Such a sweet gesture and it really helped.
 
When we finally got to the Hilton after all of the pictures, the first thing I wanted to do was go see the ballroom.  I had been waiting so long to see how everything would be pulled together.  I opened the ballroom doors and I was truly amazed!  Everything looked so beautiful.  From the linens and chair covers, upgraded decor on the head table....it all looked amazing.  Everything looked great and the room looked amazing.
 
I was so sad when our coordinators came and told me that the time had come for them to leave.  It was such a  wonderful experience working with them so I made sure that I gave them both a bid hug before they left.  You really have great employees working for you.  I will never forget all that your team has done for us and how they helped us make our wedding day the best day of our lives.  Please let Alison, Dale and Ericka know that we really appreciate everything they did in helping make our wedding day a dream come true.
 
And to you Madeline, THANK YOU!  Without you, your advice and help and your company our wedding day would not have turned out as well as it did.  We are truly greatful!
 
Well, I think its about time I end this novel so I will send you some pictures when we get some from our photographer.
 
Thanks again for everything!!!!
 
Bev & Luke

Thank-you also for your patience and for being so accomodating throughout the planning process. Your high level of organization and attention to detail are nothing short of phenomenal.

Brett & Ryan

Madeline and her team at Madeline's Weddings made my dream wedding a reality!  I'm one of those picky brides, so it was important for me to choose the right company to make the vision of my dream reception come to life.  Not an easy task! I am so happy that I chose Madeline's Weddings!  I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful reception!  Madeline and her team went out of their way to make sure that when I walked in to my reception everything was perfect!  My jaw dropped when I walked in to my reception.  Madeline and her team had surpassed my already high expectations. There was not a linen out of place.  Madeline had even added a few surprises to complete the look.  Many of my guests commented on the beautiful decor and asked who provided it.  I was happy to say that Madeline's Weddings did it!  Thank you Madeline & Team for helping to make my special day perfect! :)

Hi Madeline and Everyone at Madeline's Weddings!
 
I don't even know where to start with what I thought on my wedding day. Everything was so, so beautiful! So perfect! My mom and I actually had a little sneak peek at things early Friday afternoon. Though it was nothing like seeing it all done up on the wedding day. The day itself was amazing. Bizarre & surreal. Fast paced and agonizingly slow. Exciting and hilarious. Loving and lovely.
 
The ceremony. How to describe seeing the room full of people looking back at me, Shawn standing in the distance. There are no words. We had a musician, playing acoustic guitar up at the front and it was so perfect. The ivory of the chair covers and the backdrop together with the music and the room itself all went together so perfectly.
 
Then, the reception. Oh. My. God. By the time I got to see it all done up it was filled with people and the murmur of their voices. Just walking into the room was absolutely breathtaking. I remember walking in and everything had this glow and a reflection of a glow from all the candles and all the lights and all the glass. The colors looked so unbelievably gorgeous all together. The head table was beautiful. The cupcake table was amazing. Everything was really just absolutely perfect (I need a thesaurus).
 
I have to say that truthfully, it was all beyond anything I could ever have imagined. I had an idea of what it would be but I didn't even come close. It honestly felt like walking into a dream. The hum of the room combined with the glow of the candles and the richness of the colors and the elegance of the fabrics. To be in that room surrounded by so much beauty was beyond a dream come true. It was a fantastic reality to be in and at the center of for a day. The room completely matched our mood, as it was both joyous and romantic. I know that those feelings would never have come through nearly as wonderfully and beautifully without you and everyone that helped out from Madeline's Weddings.
 
We send to you our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your huge contribution to making our wedding day the fantastic day that it was. You all did a wonderful, wonderful job. Fantabulous!
 
It all came together so wonderfully, knowing that the room would be beautiful as a result of all your hard work put such an ease to my mind while planning everything else. I truly, truly thank you for helping me create a day that I hope everyone that was there remembers.
 
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Candace & Shawn

Hi Madeline!

Thanks you for making our wedding run so smoothly and  look so beautiful! I had so many guests tell me how amazing it looked  in there before I was able to see it for myself, made me all that more anxious to get in there and check it out, even the girl at the front desk. :) You guys really made it look like a fairy tale in there, and all the extra touches... :) <3 They were right - what a stunning room!! All those little unexpected touches were so over and above anything I had expected. The staggered candles, the floating  white roses. It blew us away!

It was great working with you! I just finished writing a huge Madeline's plug to one of our groomsmen, he's getting married next year and was inquiring as to what we thought about your services. I'll also send him the link to your website ;)
Thanks again for everything Madeline - it just couldn't have gone off half as well without you. People were saying how relaxed I looked - easy to be relaxed when I know you guys have taken care of everything.  I really appreciate all you did to make it a wonderful day!

You really made our reception look first class! Thank you both so much!

Carrie & Brian

Meeting with Alison from Madeline's Wedding for a FREE consultation was one of the best decisions we made in preparation for our wedding. She helped us in realizing our vision for our very special day. She was full of wonderful ideas and was very accommodating to our schedule, questions and requests. We booked most of our decorations from Madeline's as they have very competitive prices and their selection is amazing. They even went the extra mile in helping us to find a florist, baker and others that we needed that where in our price range. In the end, we even booked Alison as our wedding coordinator for the day. I have to say, that was money well spent. She took away all the stress and we were able to enjoy our wedding day without worrying about timing, schedules and all other details. She and the team at Madeline's Wedding have become friends and I'm very pleased that they where a big part of our special day. We could have never done it without them.

Catherine & Richard Boissonneault

A big thank you to Alison and Madeline’s Weddings for your involvement in planning our big day!  Your recommendations for our vendors were absolutely perfect!  Your vendor suggestions and the way you worked with them really took the pressure off of us and in the end I am sure you spoke to the florist way more than we did and the result was having flowers more spectacular than we had ever pictured!  Alison, you really took the time to get to know the two of us over countless meetings. The best one of all, our “planning meeting” at Applebees which was more of a dinner with a special friend to discuss the wedding.  We relied on you to be so familiar with all the details and you never let us down.  When I had driven friends and family crazy with wedding talk, Alison was still as excited as I was to hear about my latest new detail, which usually involved something geeky like being insanely excited about stationery or our calculator favours (we’re very cheesy accountants).  I’ll never forget seeing the reception room at the Hilton and thinking, “is this really our wedding?” and we have heard nothing but rave reviews from our guests as well.  The only downside to all of this was saying goodbye at the reception knowing that we wouldn’t be talking nearly as often.

We want to tell you how absolutely amazing the decor for our reception was...it was exactly the way I had always pictured it! We truly appreciated your professionalism and meticulous attention to detail which made our wedding an even more enjoyable and memorable experience.  We will always remember 2008 as one of the best years of our lives and you were part of it!  There are not enough words to thank you!

Hi Madeline,

Cindy and I are writing to thank you for an amazing job for our New Year’s Eve wedding! The linens and decor you supplied and the professionalism you and your team displayed were absolutely outstanding. Our friends are still raving about the amazing room with the red and black satin linens! The head table was exquisite from the backdrop, to the subtlety of the lighting and the warmth of the many candles, it was very elegant but still cozy. The idea to go with the color co-ordinated candy buffet table over cake was a huge hit and our people absolutely loved it.

Being in the hotel business I have seen many, many weddings and this room was like nothing I have ever seen before. We will highly recommend your services with confidence to all.

Thanks again!

Sincerely

Tom and Cindy

Madeline and the Madeline’s weddings staff,

The wedding was so great!
The decor was gorgeous--what I can remember of it---It all went by way too fast and I didn’t spend enough time taking in all of the details we toiled over. The candles were beautiful!
My favourite moment was walking into the hall with my Dad to go down the aisle--and seeing all the candles lit for the first time-gorgeous! Derek-was wowed even before the candles were all aglow. gorgeous candles and linens by Madeline’s weddings

Thanks so much for all of your help!!!! You were great and much appreciated!!
Keep in touch Lady!

Darlene & Derek

I could not believe my eyes when I walked into the most beautiful room, peered down to see my husband to be, surrounded by beauty. It was like a dream! The head table was even more beautiful than I could ever imagine. I had chosen 6 colors for our wedding. You and your successful staff members were able to incorporate every color and make it look elegant, not overwhelming.

We had a wedding consultant who was more than what you would expect. There were small issues here and there that were dealt with right away. I had no idea of anything as they were taken care of without me even being a part of it. Now that is a wedding coordinator!

Because of you, Madeline and your staff, we were able to book everything just the way we wanted it. There were no hiccups. You sent us to the best venders for absolutely everything.

I know that preparing for a wedding is stressful, but you really made it a breeze for us.

I still have people mentioning how much fun they had, and how absolutely beautiful everything was.

Thank you for making our dream wedding day come true.

Dawn & Chris Wilkinson

From the first meeting, everyone at Madeline’s was a pleasure to work with.  We can’t thank you enough for the beautiful job you did with the décor and for the fantastic day of wedding coordination you provided us. Jamie our lead day of coordinator was absolutely amazing.  She felt like family to us.  We were so thankful to have her taking care of all the little details because we knew from beginning to end we were in good hands. Having her and also Rhianna there on our wedding day, cueing us for when we needed to be ready, when to walk down the isle, making sure at the reception the dinner was on time, the speeches were on time and everything in between, made us both feel relaxed and because of this we enjoyed our day.

The vision I had for the wedding was for it to have a relaxed beachy feel without it actually having a beach theme.  When I walked into the reception, the room looked incredible and was exactly what I had envisioned. It really had that relaxed yet elegant feel with beautiful splashes of color, which was exactly what I was going for. The stationary was so pretty and very personal. Rachele, the designer, really captured what I wanted. Particularly the invitation, the program and seating chart were amazing.  I loved that all the stationary pieces matched each other, as well as matched with the rest of the décor.  I also had a few things that I wanted to added to the décor to add my personal touch– pew ribbon, paper lanterns lining the pews, silk fans and bubbles for the ceremony, a “just married” sign for the golf cart we rode away in, flip flops and toiletries in the bathrooms for the reception – and when I asked if I could provide all of this and have the decorators put it all out for me, our coordinators were more than happy to take care of it so that I could have all the special little details I wanted and not have to worry about it.  They went above and beyond. I can’t imagine having to do all of that myself, or have to ask a friend or family member to put it all out before the wedding.

Many guests have mentioned to us how the wedding had such a relaxed over all feel, and how relaxed and happy Garrett and I looked through out it all. Having wedding day coordination made that possible.  We have had so many compliments on the décor, how pretty it was, the matching details, and all of the personal little touches like the flip flops and silk fans.  Several people have commented to us that “you thought of everything” and how “it was so personal and touching”.  People were completely blown away. Hiring Madeline’s helped me to make that possible. I can not express my thanks enough to Jamie, Rhianna and the rest of the Madeline’s team for the great job they did!

Thanks again for everything,

Debra and Garrett Sorensen
