"Fabulous Coordinator"... Thank you!!

Michelle Gregory - the Jones Victorian Estate

Wedding Coordinator/Designer

"To the most amazing Michelle,

It has been nearly a month now and I still can not believe how much of a success you made my wedding. YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON! My mom and I may have argued about useless wedding planning but she was so right to convince me to meet you. If you thought we bickered over flowers incessantly, you should have see her to try to convince me to meet you! Our first meeting/session I just was overcome with a wave of comfort and happiness that you would be the perfect fit for the planning of the wedding. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you have done: the hospitality at your house, vendor recommendations, meeting with the Church in San Gabriel, phone calls, borrowing of the Shinoda card, last minute/late night meetings, building of a timeline, all your hard work on the Friday before and most importantly just the role you played the day of. There are no amount of "thank you"s that can come out of my mouth to express how I feel. I know you and my mom have been in some contact but we still need to meet up next week to wrap up some loose ends.

Chris and I are forever grateful for all that you have done for us. Thank you for everything and of your tireless efforts you put in. It was extremely helpful having you there. You took a lot of pressure and stress off everyone and we are forever indebted to you for that! You are an incredible human being, a fabulous coordinator and genuine friend to all of us.

With love and appreciation,

Tiffany and Chris Garbis"

Paper Flowers?

Hi!

When Denise brought a box full of folded paper flowers for her ceremony, I had to think about it for awhile to wrap my mind and heart around it. As I pulled the soft green and ivory flowers out and folded them together, the whimsical artistry came through. Why not? It really will be fun!

Instead of Chinese lanterns, we hung these paper flowers in varying sizes and colors

The Chiavari chairs accented their wooden theme perfectly!! Check out the arch! It's all wood branches. Jeff, the groom, pulled up with a pick-up truck loaded with tree branches and trunks. It took us 2 hours but wow, the wooden arch was a spectacular backdrop and perfect! I tucked in a bird nest I had to one of the branches. Denise added two blue bird eggs for her "something blue."

A Cinderella Wedding at the Jones Victorian Estate

"Dear Michelle:

Thanks so very much for all the wonderful planning of everything you did for Denise and Jeff's wedding.

It was the most beautiful wedding and very relaxing atmosphere of any wedding I've ever been at. You have a wonderful peaceful place for all of this.

You are a great person and make the feeling of all this atmosphere the way it was.

Denise' dream was always to have a Cinderella Wedding. She was absolutely beautiful and breath taking. Thank you so much for everything you did!

God Bless,

Denise' mom Joan Addyson"

Balloons, a romantic swing... it's all here at the Jones Victorian Estate.

HI!

By the time Denise arrived, the day was warm, beautiful and perfect for her wedding day. Here, Denise and Jeff relax for a moment together in our grassy area on our romantic swing. I love that she wore boots!!!They added balloons and it created a wonderfully fresh touch to an old favorite!

The backdrop is gorgeous and lucky for us, they hired Michael of Memories by Michael. A true talent, Michael was everywhere! This is just a sample of what is to come.

I'll post more when I receive them!!!

Love,

Michelle

Dance the Night Away!

Hi!

One of my favorite aspects of the reception is the Bride and Groom's first dance. It can be magical, fun and entertaining all at the same time.

Where does one begin?

It's easy!!

I highly recommend Kathy Corcoran of New Energy

Dance, 714) 993-0906, in Yorba Linda. She is an expert social dance instructor and she's so much fun!! Here she is with two of her Brides!!

The lessons are private at her very own dance studio. She helps you enjoy this special moment that is yours alone while helping to create wonderful memories!!

Kathy teaches the Grooms how to lead and enjoy the dance. She teaches the Brides the steps to keep up with her partner! With her incredible knowledge of choreography, your dance will be something YOU can be proud of and not the same old thing!

Call her today. You will not be disappointed!!

Love

Michelle
