Tracy Thompson (Mother of the Groom, Anderson-Thompson Wedding Ceremony & Reception, May 26, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Michelle, Thanks for all of your guidance and help to give Kim and Aaron the Beautiful Wedding we had all dreamed of for them. It really was a lovely evening and we appreciate all that you and your staff did to make everything memorable. Best, Bee (Mother of the Bride, Pennington-Aguilar Wedding Ceremony & Reception, April 6, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michelle, I wanted to thank you for the extraordinary job you did for our families as Golden Eagle Wedding Reception Venue Coordinator and Wedding Planner. The location was absolutely beautiful, the reception events and set up ran so smoothly and was a heartwarming and fun celebration for family and friends. Most of all, the bride, Emily, had the utmost confidence and peace of mind you instilled in her so that she could truly enjoy her day as bride. You kept everything running smoothly and let us celebrate a wonderful occasion as though Emily and Justin Reker were royalty! I appreciate your professionalism, hard work, and expert organizational skills in handling all aspects of the Wiwi-Reker wedding from keeping us informed in the planning stages, to directing the rehearsal, then setting up the banquet, decorations, and coordinating the florists, photographers, DJ, and guests as they arrived. Not to mention the fact of actually lacing Emily into her wedding gown, and later serving Emily and Justin their meal! The wedding was magical and a memorable event for all of us and we will happily recount our experience with Golden Eagle Country Club and your expertise as wedding coordinator. Thank you so much! Sincerely, Lynn Wiwi Mother of the Bride – Emily Reker (Mother of the Bride, Wiwi-Reker Wedding Ceremony & Reception, March 9, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michelle, I just wanted to thank you again for helping make Emily & Justin’s big day a success! We all had a wonderful time (thank to you taking care of everything for us)!! Emily told us Sunday that it was “the perfect day”! Can’ ask for much more than that! Thank you! Jennifer (Step-Mother of the Bride, Wiwi-Reker Wedding Ceremony & Reception, March 9, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello Mrs. Griggs, Once again you have made our event a memorable one due to your involvement.

(HERO Gala, February 2, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Michelle, Thank you so very much for coordinating a perfect wedding and reception last weekend for Jan & Stu. Your organization skills certainly shined, and we were very pleased with the food, service and the bar at Golden Eagle County Club. Hiring you to be our coordinator was one of the best decisions we made throughout the journey of planning a wedding for our daughter. You set our tables perfectly and offered so much more support than we realized we needed. Golden Eagle was the perfect setting for both the wedding and the reception. The bride and groom, and both sets of parents all know we collectively hosted a perfect event. We have heard nothing but praise from our family and friend who had such a good time. All the pictures show huge smiles on everyone. Hope we cleaned up well enough on Sunday - if we forgot anything, just let us know. Regards- Jim & Maggie (Step-Mother & Father of the Bride, Gowen-Touchton Wedding Ceremony & Reception, January 26, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michelle, Thank you so much for the extraordinary job you did for Ashley and John’s wedding and reception. Your patience, your expertise, your hard work and your optimism (especially about the weather ☺) was so appreciated. Having grown up in a family who catered and coordinated such events, we have a full appreciation of the hard work, the behind the scenes activity, the planning and the attention to detail needed to have a perfect outcome – and perfect ours was. Than you for making everything so easy and for making the day so special. No regrets and we would highly recommend and strongly encourage all brides (and their parents) to call “Michelle” if they want a wedding/reception done with class and perfection! You were great to work with! Many thanks, Diane & Mike (Parents of the Bride, James-Apthorp Wedding Ceremony & Reception, January 19, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hello Michelle, I meant to communicate with you on Sunday. Our visit with you on Saturday was perfect in every way – it just couldn’t have been nicer. And, you are so wonderful to work with!! As we will be returning in May – on the 11 th I believe – I wanted to mention one thing. Golden Eagle is so generous with the portions of the meals. The peachy chicken was probably enough for two people and I even had trouble finishing all my wonderful quiche! Sherrie (Sherrie DeBoer, Daughters of the American Revolution Luncheon, January 12, 2013) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michelle & Golden Eagle Staff, Thank you very much for helping me create the most memorable day!
