"Carole, from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything you did. Thank you for taking the time to be with us on our day. Everything was so perfect and we will never forget all that you did to make our wedding day the best that it could be!"
"You walked into the room and your air of calm took over everything and all of us!"
"Although I grew up in Michigan, my husband and I lived in South Carolina while planning our wedding. Carole was an indispensable asset to us. She was able to connect us with a great network of reputable vendors, answer all of our logistics questions about an island wedding, and provide support and information throughout our planning process. We had a couple issues with our venue along the way, but Carole was able to fight those battles for us and ensure our wedding day went as planned. Additionally, having Carole around the day before and of the wedding meant that no one in the wedding or our family had to worry about ANYTHING. Carole made sure all the decorations were set up, coordinated the vendors, and was even there to help the guys figure out their pocket squares. We are so grateful to her, and encourage anyone getting married on Mackinac to employ Carole to help them with their festivities. Her fees are very reasonable, and for all the time and effort she put into our wedding, we would have been perfectly fine paying double!"
"It’s hard to believe we are at the journey’s end of the wedding planning, but it was filled with fun, excitement, and love! We all have lifetime memories to cherish."
"We had such a wonderful weekend! Thanks for all you did. Mitch and I were just talking about how smooth it all went with the help of you and your assistant. You even were able to fix my shoe!! We had the best day of our lives."
"I can’t thank you enough for making our wedding work for us and our family. Jim and I talked half way home about how you were there helping us every step of the way until the end. Your personal attention to all of us was above and beyond our expectations. We'll keep in touch... "
"Thank you so much for everything!!!!!! We had an amazing time on our honeymoon, just what we needed. We ended up going to Riviera Maya Mexico and stayed at an amazing resort- Secrets Maroma Beach. Everything was absolutely perfect for our big day and we have you to thank for that. We truly enjoyed working with you and our families couldn’t have agreed more. The day went off without a hitch and that is without a doubt owed to you!!!!!! April and Michael June 2009 I wanted to say thank you again for making our wedding so memorable. Everything went perfectly! I am so happy you were there for us and made sure everything went as planned. Job well done!!! "
"You are truly amazing at what you do! Keep up the great work. We will definitely be back to the Island. Richard and I are about to board the plane to Jamaica for our honeymoon. I will be in touch when we get back. I cannot tell you how much the wedding exceeded our expectations. It was a true fairytale:) Lots of love,"
"Howdy from Texas! Well, it has been one year since “I do” and we constantly think back on a year ago and marvel at the tremendous work that you did! We are so incredibly thankful for everything you did! We couldn’t have done it without you!"
"I want to thank you for the outstanding job you did as wedding coordinator for Adam and Erin. The weekend was absolutely perfect! We have viewed the photos from the photographer and they are superb! You pulled off a "fairy-tale" wedding. Again, thank you."
"Thank you so much for everything!! We had such a fantastic time this weekend. Everything was just perfect - even the weather!! We couldn't have done it without you!!"
"I really don't know what to say other than you created the most BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT wedding I could ever have imagined! Your assistant, Kathy, was wonderful, and Matthew was absolutely AMAZING! I don't know how you did it, but even the weather was perfect and our children were happier than I've ever seen them together!! All of them, even Jess! Her and John had 2 incredibly beautiful bonding moments alone together this weekend. Totally unexpected! My heart is so full right now, I can't see what I'm typing.................. Ok, I've compose myself. I am actually a little sad because I have loved working with you so much I don't want it to be over."
"We are so happy that we hired you as our wedding planner. You were worth every penny that we paid and more. During the planning stages, you were a great source of information and advice and you answered our hundreds of questions promptly and thoroughly. With our vendors, you never let us settle and continued to search until you found us vendors that were right for us. As for the wedding day, you were a complete Godsend. Although we were both nervous, we were really able to relax and enjoy ourselves knowing that you were handling all the details and all the individuals and personalities involved. We had a fabulous band thanks to your relentless efforts to find a band that played both Spanish and American tunes, and as you can tell, everybody enjoyed the music and kept the dance floor packed. The instrumentalist/vocalist at the church was great and we know that it was his professional relationship with you in the past that brought him back out of wedding performance retirement. Although we have yet to see the finished products, the photographer and videographer seemed to be doing a great job and we hardly noticed them at all (just as we wanted). The reception room was beautiful, the cake was delicious, and we can go on and on. Throughout the whole process, you respected our wishes, yet told us respectfully but firmly when you thought we needed to do things differently. In addition to all the behind the scenes work you did leading up to the big day, you were there every step of the way during the ceremony and reception. You were a calm, quiet force making sure every detail was attended to.”
"Thanks so much for everything, you were a star! I can’t believe how hard you worked on the day and how seamless it was for us. Thank you so much, we had a great wedding and realized after just how much of a difference you made."
"We could not imagine what this would be like without all of your help and guidance. We appreciate all of your input! You’ve been amazing!"
"We can’t thank you enough for all your help on planning our wedding and making our wedding day go so smooth. We have had so many compliments about you. My Mom said so many wonderful things about you, too. It was so nice you walked her down to her chair at the beginning of the wedding…she was so thankful for that."
"The wedding was idyllic….fairy tale stuff…we had a great time."
"We cannot thank YOU enough for all you have meant to us now and in the past. You made Amy’s dream come true and made the wedding a perfect memory for all of us. …it was like a fairy tale. You orchestrated perfectly.
"Thank you so much for the beautiful wedding for Julie and Chris. It was exactly as they wanted. It was so great to enjoy the day and not worry about the details."
"I was calm and secure throughout the entire planning process up through our wedding day because I knew you would have everything organized and finished! And your positive attitude in each of our meetings showed us the more important side of the planning process; the people who were part of our wedding in any sense, as a guest, family member, or team player, and how to treat each other are more important and more remembered than any wrinkled napkin or out of place flower! I grew up there and I still wouldn’t know how to coordinate taxis! You were an enormous help and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to untangle my veil before walking down the aisle.
"If we could thank you in every language it wouldn’t be enough. We hear everyday what a glorious time our wedding was, and know you were behind the scenes making sure everything was better than perfect. Because of your attention to detail and ability to think ahead, we were able to it as well. We will thank you forever…we will never, ever forget you and what you did for us. It was perfect."
"Thank you so much for making our wedding everything we dreamed of. It was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t have done it without you."
"We made incredible memories during our wedding on Mackinac Island that we will treasure forever. Without your expertise and guidance, our wedding wouldn't have been the same. We can't thank you enough, you truly made our fairytale wedding come true!"
"Words can’t express our gratitude for your professional and gracious manner in working with us to put together Mary & Chuck’s wedding. There is no way we could have done it without you! From the largest to the smallest detail, you anticipated the need often before we thought of it ourselves – and executed everything in a timely manner."
"You took care of every detail in a quick and efficient manner. Nothing was left for us to do or decide after we reached the island. A stressful wedding was actually turned into a weekend vacation for us because of your services. You took care of us and treated us as if we were family."
"I know it's been a few weeks but, I wanted to sincerely thank you for helping Mark and I with our wedding. It was absolutely perfect and we could not have asked for a more memorable day."
"Without Carole’s help we never could have pulled off a 200+ person sunset cocktail cruise, a 50 person rehearsal luncheon, a 250 person ceremony, a cocktail hour on the front porch of the Grand Hotel, and a beautiful reception in the Theatre Room. She was awesome!"
"You made my fairytale wedding come true!"
"I can’t believe it’s over! I’m very sad about it, but yet very happy at the same time just because nothing was so perfect! Not one thing went wrong, and if it wasn’t for you, I don’t how we would have pulled it off. You are absolutely amazing!!! Jeremy and I can’t stop talking about how wonderful you are and how everything was so perfect because of you!"
"You went above and beyond all of our expectations in making sure detail was attended to. Because of you, we were able to focus on each other and our special day instead of being stressed out."
"If I had to do it again I wouldn’t change a thing. We’ll have wonderful memories of this weekend for the rest of our lives."
"Thank you so much for everything you did for our wedding. It was perfect! It was definitely our dream wedding, & everything went so smooth because of you."
"We want to thank you for helping to make our wedding day such a beautiful and memorable experience. You picked the PERFECT place for us. Thank you for taking the time and listening to what I imagined our wedding day would be like. Your expertise and experience helped to fulfill our dream and the day far exceeded what I imagined it would be."

"Everybody had a wonderful event and thought the event was perfect, Lorena and I included. We very much appreciate all of your help and efforts which made the day a success!"
"Eric and I have such wonderful memories of our wedding day, and we know that much of the credit belongs to you and the year you dedicated to helping us."
"You helped make it turn out just the way we dreamed it would."
"We cannot 'Thank you' enough for making our wedding so wonderful. You are one of those special people who by knowing you, makes life so special. You have a gift for connecting with folks…and we are so grateful."
"We thank you once again for our fairy tale wedding…. We plan on coming back every anniversary."
"It was wonderful working with you. Your attention to detail and constant communication made our lives much easier during the planning."
"How will I ever be able to thank you? Our wedding was like a fairy tale. It was perfect and beautiful!!!! And it was all thanks to you!!! You REALLY are a WEDDING GODDESS!!!!!!!"
"It has been about two weeks since our wedding on Mackinac Island and I still feel like a princess! We both want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the outstanding job you did with our wedding. Every detail was perfect."
"Thanks for making our day so special!"
"Thank you so much for everything. We certainly couldn't have done it without you. And besides, I not only have a new son, I have a new daughter-you."
"Every little thing was taken care of. No detail was left to chance. You were able to make recommendations to us that only you could. Living on the island so long obviously gives you the insight to know who's the best, most flexible, most accommodating, and who could get the job done in the way we wanted. Only you could know all the intricate details that would come into play."
"Your attention to detail made everything run smoothly."
"We want you to know that you are very helpful, responsive, and you are very good at knowing what to do, when to do, and what choices to make. You are very helpful in the decision making process when it is hard for a bride to make up her mind. Our wedding was beautiful thanks to you!!!!!"
"Your thorough knowledge of Mackinac Island and seemingly of each and every of its residents as invaluable as you were able to provide us with ideas, venues,, and appropriate staff to satisfy our needs for our 150 people plus rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception, and brunch."

You also took the initiative to get us better contractual terms where you could get them, which helped save us a significant amount of money (the fact that this, in turn, reduced your bottom line was not lost on us). Often you gave us invaluable advice and guidance on issues that you were not even directly involved with. Such efforts were greatly appreciated. 
"What a great wedding we had! We are so grateful for your help in putting our wedding together! So many of our guests commented that it was the best wedding they had ever been to. I think the best thing was that you took the stress out of the day for us."
"I cannot thank you enough for all of your
help with our wedding. Being a bit of a “type A” personality I can get stressed
about plans. Thanks to you I didn’t have a care in the world.
You are such a pro and were such a big help,
everything was absolutely perfect."
