Just wanted to send you a note and let you know that of all the people we've had to work with so far in the wedding process, Natasha was by far and above the most lovely. Super helpful, totally on her shit, and got everything done perfectly with total grace. We seriously thought about inviting her along we love her so much. Just wanted to let you know we think she's wonderful and we're glad you hired her.""I just wanted to sit down and write you a genuine and heartfelt thank you note for everything you've done. You and your contacts in Europe have done a great thing for me and it is all greatly appreciated. My suit looks and feels fantastic, and it's not just me saying it. You are fantastic. Thank you so much, and I will be in contact with you should I need any further assistance. Please stay safe in these crazy times, and I look forward to speaking with you again""I just wanted to thank you for the exceptional service we received this afternoon. I have spent LOTS of time in stores over the last fifteen years as a personal shopper and rarely have I been made to feel so at ease. I think the important thing you did from the beginning was to indicate that you were open to giving us as much time and attention as we needed without ever pressuring us to make a purchase. And then, when we had decided to go ahead, you were always happy to keep us within our budget."
