LEE AND COOPER WEDDING
MONA LEE AND KEN COOPER
SANTA YNEZ VALLEY FAMILY ESTATE
Dear Marc, It was a fabulous day & the food was absolutely wonderful. I still hear from family and friends on how much they enjoyed the food. You did a fantastic job. Thank you for your hard work and creativity. Regards, Marc and Melissa, Rincon Catering is amazing! There was never a moment during the planning process that I doubted your ability to execute my client's vision to perfection. And you did! The groom commented several times after the wedding about how smoothly everything went; the bride said "I was so relaxed, I just showed up and had fun!" I owe their wedding happiness in large part to our team work and your seemingly effortless attention to all the important details. Thank you! Leanne Cooper Elliot |

Melissa,
Mike and I are definitely going to be sending you a "proper" thank you very soon, but I just didn't want too much time to pass before we told you what an incredible job you did with our wedding. Everything was perfect, and I mean perfect. Of course, it went by fast, but it was by no means a blur. We will remember everything, down to the toasts and wonderful food ( which you were so generous to pack up for us ). We in no way could have imagined it going better. You took care of us every step of the way and made the day unbelieveable and special. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We not only consider you an amazing wedding coordinator, but after 18 months of engagement, we consider you a friend. Hope the wedding season treats you well.
Love,
The Dussaults

Melissa,
Thanks again for making the wedding run so smoothly.
I really appreciate so much your calmness and wisdom.
Your service to me in particular was so sweet- holding
my drink/bouquet as needed, bringing my lip gloss to me
so I didn't have to walk all the way up to the
house...
Blessings,
-Wendy

Thank you for the wonderful meal yyou provided our staff for our Christmas celebration and holiday party.
Needless to say, the meal was delicious. The veggies and risotto were big favorites but for some reason the browies were especially good this time. Some people said they were the best they had ever tasted.
Great seeing you as well. Glad you had some time to catch up.
Let's talk in January about your plans.
Call me for lunch.
Much love and may 2007 be your greatest year ever!

I know it has been some time since our wedding and I have had it on my mind to write you for so long. I can't put into words how grateful I am. Our wedding was so absolutely perfect.... thanks to you and your extraordinary talent. Melissa, you are a truely gifted woman and I am both honored and blessed to have had you as our coordinater. You have played a huge part in creating a memory that we will cherish forever.
