A Note of Thanks

We were honored and delighted to design and plan the wedding of Cynthia and Michael at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens on Saturday, September 5th.  The couple resides in Los Angeles, and were only in town a handful of times before the wedding, so we really maximized our use of weekly conference calls, emails, and of course the time they were able to spend here.  The result was an intimate, beautiful, flora and fauna themed wedding day capped with spectacular September weather.  We can't wait to share photos from their wedding day with you!  On Tuesday, I received this letter of thanks from our new bride: 

"Hi Gina,

I can't believe the wedding's over! Mike and I were so happy with the way everything turned out. Thank you so much for all your help and hard work with it all!...Again, thanks so much for everything! It was such a great night! Things couldn't have turned out better!

All the best,
Cynthia"

We too wish Cynthia and Michael all the best, for they are truly an inspiring couple.  Love and luck from all of us here in the Shi Shi Events family!!

We're excited for our brides yet to be married this year and are putting the final touches on their wedding day plans.  And, we're just beginning to develop our brides' weddings for our 2010 season.  For those of you also planning for 2010, here are some helpful questions to ask when seeking your caterer: 

1) Do you have experience catering to my type/size of event?  (This is especially important if you are having your wedding reception at an "off-site" venue.) 

2) Is there a fee for the food tasting?  

3) How many may attend the tasting?

4) What is the guest to staff ratio?

5) Do we have to purchase all beer/wine/liquor through you?

6) If a cake is brought in by another baker, is there a cake cutting fee?

7) Do you provide china, flatware, and glassware?

8) What service charges and fees to you apply to my total event order?

9) What happens to the food that is leftover?

10) What is the typical deposit for your services?
