Hi Russ, 

I would be happy to refer family and friends to you in the future. It was a sincere pleasure to work with you, Russ, and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. Your linens, chair covers, and sashes created a beautiful and dramatic effect and enhanced the appearance of the room.

Thank you, again, for everything.

Warm Regards,
Colleen

Hi Russ,

You guys did a wonderful job setting up for our reception. Everyone complimented your work and it complemented the mansion and our centerpieces perfectly. You were so much fun to work with. We can't say enough about all of our vendors. I don't think there was anyone that we were unhappy with. I guess that means we have good taste! Anyhow, thanks again. We will certainly recommend you to anyone we know who is getting married!

Cheers,
Beth

Russ,

The wedding was spectacular this weekend! Everything went without a hitch! And the room was stunning! Class Act all the way! Thanks so much!

The skirting on the cake and head table was amazing, and the room was perfect. Thanks to all your help and the staff! Lauren changed her mind last minute on style of wedding cake, so glad I reserved the cake stand!!

If you like, I have your sample menu card and one of my own I would certainly be willing to give you. As for pictures - did you take any of the room? I did not get there soon enough and will need to rely on others!

Thanks so much! Look forward to working together soon (although I have no plans of events to soon)!

The photographer was able to get a few of Angela's photos up on the wedding channel web site. The tables   were lovely.  I am sure there will be more pictures to send your way with the tables more of the focal point. You were wonderful to work with.  I appreciated hearing your point of view, and you were right on with everything!

Thank you for all your advice. The wedding was so very pretty.

Thanks for the message.  I did want to contact you to let you know what a fantastic job you did.  You were so wonderful to work with -- even through the many changes and  the challenges we faced -- you have always been such a pleasure to work with.  You always made me feel like everything would work out well, and it certainly did.  The ballroom looked absolutely amazing!  You were instrumental in making that happen.  Between you and Wisteria, we received so many compliments from not only the guests, but also from the staff at the Graves Hotel saying it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever seen.  Thank you so much for your part in making this wedding so wonderful for both Erin and Craig.

Hi Russ!

Thank you for everything you guys took care of on the wedding day. My reception looked like something out of a magazine, thanks to Linen Effects. My coordinator told me that everything was executed flawlessly, resulting in minimal workload for everyone else. We really appreciate your services--everything was beautiful. I have made a little career switch into more event-type planning, and will most definitely be keeping Linen Effects in mind for future projects.

Thank you again for everything....it was much appreciated!

Hi Don, 

How are you? I’m not sure if you remember me—you helped me GREATLY one day. I was looking for black and white table cloths for my wedding, and you brought me all over your building to look for them…Introduced me to your dog, showed me some ideas on your computer, etc. And now Linen Effects is supplying me with the linens for my New Years Eve wedding at Windows on MN. 

I fell head over heels in love with your company the moment I laid eyes on it. The way your team interacts with guests, and the level of service you offer stands out from the rest. I know that this is a strange request, but would you ever have any need for another member on your team? I am currently employed at ****** , where a lot of my job responsibilities include the planning of events. My official cover letter and resume are attached, but I’d love to just sit down and chat with you regarding your needs for an assistant, sales rep or coordinator. With my background in marketing, management & customer service, I think we’d make a great team. 

Please let me know your thoughts! 

H. L.

Just wanted to follow-up and let you how extremely pleased we were with the final look of the Depot Saturday night.
You did a marvelous job and we so appreciated your ideas.  Everyone was very impressed.
We will continue to refer you to all we know.
Thanks.  Pleasure to have worked with you.

Dear Russ,
     We just got home last night.  Everything, and I mean everything, was absolutely fabulous.  The little lounge you created was fantastic and such a hit.  Of course, with the cool evening, we had everyone inside, but I still loved the look of the bar tables outside.  The lighting both in the bar and tent was beautiful.  The tent was stupendous.  Elizabeth could not believe how wonderful everything was.  The flowers in the centerpieces and all of the warm colors made for a glorious evening.
     I can not begin to tell you how much I also loved the wedding dining room.   It was magical.  Thanks for all of your help in putting together this wonderful wedding event.   I could not have asked for more.
     Sincerely,
     Marcia

Dear Russ,

Two weeks later and we are still basking in the afterglow of Naomi and Matt's wedding at the Marriott!   We can't thank you enough for the outstanding job you did in creating and executing all of the magnificent decor. 

You are masterful in your profession and you helped make our daughter's wedding one that we, and all of our 438 guests, will remember and treasure for the rest of our lives!   We have received may letters, filled with superlatives and thanks for the elegant and flawless event that it was.

We enjoyed working with you and would not hesitate for a moment to work with you again on future events.  We also want you to know that we would be honored to be a reference for you with potential future clients.

Once again, we thank you and your staff from the bottom of our hearts for all that you did to make our wedding weekend one of the best in our lives!

With appreciation and admiration,

Diane and Jon R.

Hi Robin,   All I can say is the linens were fabulous, really making the decor.  I received so many compliments on them, told everyone where they came from, and Betsy was thrilled and so was I.  The tent was beautiful with them, and when I got up on the stage to welcome everyone and toast the bride and groom, I was blown away at how pretty the tables were.

The wedding was a big success in spite of the rain,   The ceremony, tents, food, flowers, and band were GREAT, and I think everyone had a fun time.  When the photos arrive, I will send you some.  I think it was the prettiest wedding around!!!!

Thank you so much for everything.  It was really a pleasure working with you.

Best wishes,

Hi Russ,
 
     The evening was wonderful... although I'm glad it's over (the organizing/work part of it that is).
     Thank YOU and YOUR STAFF very very much.  The room was amazing!  I'm so glad you and Julie assured me that the tall decorations would be spectacular.   I don't have a vision for that sort of thing.
     Bob was very pleased with everything.   Earle Brown staff told both of us that this is the best decorated room they have ever seen, even better than all the weddings they have had there over the years!  They were even impressed.
     Is the last invoice you sent the final complete invoice?  I'd like to get payments all wrapped up this week if at all possible.
     All in all, the evening was a huge success.   Thank you again for all your hard work.

Dear Robin,

            We are absolutely indebted to you for working your magic on the St. Paul’s ballroom.  Your talent helped transform it into the most romantic, beautiful room.  Did you know Barb said the hotel may want to use a photo for their wedding brochure?!  Thank you for your expertise and good advice and above all, for being such a nice person throughout it all!

            Our very best to you,

                        Kathy F.


Dear Mr. Jensen:

            Although our event was over a month ago, I still felt compelled to write you a heart-felt thanks for the wonderful service and consulting we received from your company.  Despite our small budget and shrinking needs as we finalized our decorations plan, Russ Mohr was always available and offered his best with a smile.  I do realize that many people would not take the time and energy to provide 100% customer service for a small order.  That is what makes Mr. Mohr’s attention to our account special.  I will be sure to refer Linen Effects for both small and big events I come across in the future.

            Sincerely,

Don:

This is a long overdue email regarding Russ Mohr.  I have had several events this past year and one late last year that I have worked with Russ on coordinating.  Russ is not only accommodating, he’s creative, thoughtful and calm.  He takes time to listen and understand his client’s needs.  He doesn’t hesitate to pinch hit in a crisis situation to a fellow vendor often when the client isn’t even aware.  He spends extra time on finding just the right centerpiece, charger plate, overlay, or whatever it may be to add that finishing touch to create a successful event.

Allianz Life honors the relationship that we have with Linen Effects and dually respects the ongoing professional working relationship that we have with Russ Mohr. Well, I know that you are grinning from ear to ear, I think you should give him the rest of the day off for all his hard work and efforts.

Have a good weekend.

Dear Robin,

            Thank you so much for all your help during the planning of all my wedding details.  You were such a pleasure to work with and you always made me feel comfortable and confident in what we were choosing for our linens and rentals.  The ballroom at the Lafayette Club looked so beautiful and I really owe a lot of it to you recommending the gold damask.  Thank you for all your kindness.  I will definitely recommend you to everyone.
