Blake & Noé

Chère Cecile et Anna,

We want to thank you both for helping to make Blake & Noé’s wedding days absolutely magical!!!
We greatly appreciate all of your handwork, your expertise and your calming guidance. Also, for keeping us all on track, for orchestrating every detail with each of the lodges, and for making each event worry free. I can’t even imagine everything that you negotiated. Without a doubt, we couldn’t have pulled everything off without you two. I’m sure we don’t even know all that you did behind the scenes to insure such a successful celebration.

And somehow, you even spoke to the Gods, or rather the Goddesses, and got Mother Nature to provide absolutely the most spectacular day for the wedding! Damn you are good!!

We are forever grateful!!!
MERCI, MERCI BEAUCOUP!!!
