A Norwood Park summer wedding
Today I'm pleased to share this lovely testimonial received from our client Cat.
Cat and Sam live in Los Angeles and booked our Wedding Day Management service for their beautiful English country house wedding at Norwood Park.
"As I'm only 2 days since our wedding it's hard to wrap my head and heart around how much Val means to us. We were planning our wedding at Norwood Park from Los Angeles and although we did much of it ourselves and only hired Val for day-of planning, that term is such an understatement to what she did for us. Having her hold our hand throughout the planning, then lead us thru in those final days was the best security blanket either of us could have asked for.
She's kind. Sweet. Patient. Understanding and unassuming. She doesn't push. She isn't bossy. She quietly, graciously and unassumingly made our day go as smoothly as we could have ever dreamed. Val is a gift. She's a blessing to any event she touches. She's someone I'd like to put in my pocket and bring back to America to be my friend as she's such a lovely and bright shining star of an individual. She really is one of the special ones".
Until next time,
