THANK YOU Grand Traditions - ALL - of Grand Traditions for one of the MOST GLORIOUS days in our lives!! The assistance you gave, the set up of both chapel and reception hall, the FUN you added to the process and the absolute JOY you ALL are to work with, MORE than we could have ever dreamed!  I want to thank each and everyone of you. The staff was absolutely the nicest and most attentive group. They made me feel like I was the queen of the ball! With their careful attention to our needs, they were always three steps ahead of me before I even knew I would need anything, THAT was wonderful!  James, well, he is just AWESOME! That's all that can be said. The only regret I had there was that we didn't 'request' him to sing more!!! He's just amazing! Personality and talent!  I've had many compliments and will recommend you over and over every chance I get!  Thank you with ALL my heart! You made this the most wonderful day!!   I've attached photos of the kids watermelon. I'm sure you took one of your own but I am so proud I wanted to attach just in case.

     It was gorgeous

     Thanks again for helping our day go so well.

          Tim and Cassie Shirley.

This has been a long time coming and I apologize for that, however.  Shane and I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.  Our wedding exceeded our expectations.  It was the perfect way to begin our married life together.  We had so many compliments on the wedding  being elegant and fun at the same time.  Everyone did such an amazing  job with everything:  from the cakes, to the food, to the alcohol, to the photographer.  Every contact you provided us with turned out to be a marvelous choice, we couldn't have had a better experience.  Everyone treated us like we were family and made sure everything was perfect for the big event.  We are sincerely grateful for everything and everyone.  May 6, 2006 was the best day of our lives so far.  Thank you for that! 

     Sincerely,

          Shane and Robyn Burckhard.

Thanks for the Fabulous job on our reception.

To the Staff at Grand Traditions:
I wanted to take a moment and send you this email to say "Thank You", my daughter's wedding last month was awesome. I was very very pleased with ceremony and reception, I have been trying to find the right words to express my feelings but there are so many that I could use but I guess the best one would be "Perfect".  I could not have found a better place to have it or a better group of individuals in which to work with. My heart is still filled with much joy and happiness. The whole event was just as you said that it would be, worry free and it could not have gone any better. .  My husband and I received so many phone calls the next day after the wedding from many people that came to the wedding stating  that they where so moved by the whole experience and that they had not seen such a beautiful site in a while.  I still from time to time get a few tears when I think about it because it was so beautiful.  I consider you part of my family now and I will be referring all of my friends to you. I can not seen having a wedding or reception any where else than Grand Traditions.  Thanks again for all the wonderful work and dedication.
     Sincerely  Deborah Moody

Hello, Tate Lecil, and Julie.
I wanted to write you all and thank you again for all your help and being so wonderful to us almost 5 years ago when me and Joanna were married. My sister got married today, and it reminded me of our wedding, of course. I just wanted to write you all and let you know that things are still going excellent for us, and our love just keeps getting stronger and stronger, as well as our combined faith in God. Thank you so much for everything you all have done for us. 

     Scott and Joanna Roberts

Lecil, Julie and Staff,

Thank you all for your help in orchestrating my daughter's wedding.  You made her and Bill's day so special, so enjoyable for all of us.  You totally removed the stress and hassle from me and the groom's mom.  We were able to enjoy Amy and Bill's wedding as much as our guests did.  Our family and friends are singing your praises on every aspect; how pretty the chapel, elegant looking the reception hall, fabulous cakes, great food, and fun music.  The service in the reception hall was wonderful.  How you managed to keep dirty dishes off tables without intrusion...  was great.  Thank you again, Brenda Snell  (If I had another daughter, I would use you and your facility again)

Tate, Lecil, and Julie:

Wow!!! What a year and a half.  It seems like only yesterday that Amber and I came to your beautiful chapel to view everything and decide where to have the wedding.  The year seems to have flown by.  As a mother, I wanted everything to be perfect for your only daughter's wedding.  All three of you made that happen.  Everything was beautiful.  The reception set up was perfect.  The centerpieces that Amber and I envisioned came to life and  were exactly what we wanted.  Even through the rain and Michael's late brother all of kept me calm and unstressed. Any time you need a reference or need me to talk to any potential bride, groom or mother, please feel free to contact me.  Thanks again for all you did to make Amber & Michael's day perfect. 

     Sincerely, 

          Rhonda Daggs

Tate,

The wedding and reception were absolutely beautiful and we could not have done it without you. The decorations, the food...it was everything imagined and more! I wish my mom and Mike's folks had been able to be there but the people who really counted were there and you and Lecil are family.

     Love ya,

          Vicki

Dear Tate and Company,

Thank you so much for a wonderful anniversary experience.  It was so nice not having the anxiety of planning all the details.  To be able to show up and then walk out with all the other guests made such a difference for us.  You took care of so much more than we expected.  You knew what to do when we didn't and held our hands when we were confused and anxious.  You helped make our anniversary what it was - very special. 

     Yours Truly

         Steve & Kathleen McHargue

Dear Lecil, Tate, Julie, & Mike,

The presents are opened, the guests have left and the dust has settled after Kelly and Luke's wedding on July 6.  What we still have are the wonderful memories thanks to all of you at Grand Traditions.   It was such a relief knowing that you had everything under control and had taken away so much of the stress of wedding planning.  We had nothing but rave comments about the facility, the food, the DJ and Lecil, the "Wedding Planner"; in fact, just about everything! 

     Our special thanks,

          Paul & Aimee Skingle.

To All of the Staff at Grand Traditions,

     Fondly, 

          Carol, Tom, and Dameis Black.

Lecil and Tate,

We cannot thank you enough for making Susan and Caleb's wedding exactly the special wedding they wanted.  You made the whole experience wonderful and fun.  The extra care you gave the bride and groom as well as the families of both just made us all relax and able to enjoy the moment.  The wedding ceremony was perfect; the reception was very elegant.  The pictures you took are great and we certainly appreciate them.  A million thanks for everything!! 

     Linda and Carl

     Rodney and Theresa Roberts

Dear Lecil, Tate, Julie, and Gracious Staff,
I cannot begin to express the gratitude that Terry and I feel for services each of you provided to our son Jason and his beautiful bride, Danielle.  You each extended your hospitality and expertise with professionalism and passion.  Each time we spoke with you, you each "promised" us that the evening would be a fun and memorable time, and you certainly carried through with that promise.  We have received calls from most of our families and they have expressed to us that they enjoyed the evening, right down to fajitas.  Most of all, Jason and Danielle are still talking about the fun they had, and how at ease you made them feel throughout the night.   Your kindness and love for people sure shines.  We know that coordinating events is a business for you, but you each show such passion for every part of putting a wedding and reception together, that you helped us to feel like we are the only ones who you do this for.  You opened your chapel and reception hall to us, and  they were absolutely beautiful.  The little details like selecting the baker (Candy Haven) and the disc jockey (Mike) made for a great evening.  Most of all, I have to tell you that recommending Mike as the officiate was the best suggestion you made.  He is absolutely the GREATEST!!  I think Jason and Danielle will remain in touch with him in the future.  Thank you for helping us to give Jason and Danielle a perfect evening!
     Sincerely,   

          Terry and Linda Nutt

Tate, Lecil, and Julie,

We can't even begin to let you know what a great time that we had at the wedding.  Everything went perfectly!  We have received so many wonderful compliments on the wedding and reception!  Everyone had a great time and loved the place.  We can't wait to see all of the pictures that you took as well as the video.  We had a wonderful time on our honeymoon and are now back to reality.  We just wanted to express our thanks to you and compliment you on what you do!

     It wouldn't have been so great without you! 

          Steven and Sarah Geter  

Thank you, thank you each and every one of you who helped make our big 50th anniversary party more special.  We appreciate so very much all your hard work and help.  It was just great and such a pretty and great place for us to party.  Thanks so very much to you all!

     Oliver & Ann Briggs

Dear Tate, Lecil & Julie,

What treasures you all are to me.  You told me "Don't Worry", "It will all be all right".  "We'll take care of everything".  and you did just that!  I truly appreciate everything you all have done to make Baily's and Cliff's day so very special.  Your warmth and kindness exuded and was mentioned to me by several guests. 

     Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart. 

          Sally

Grand Traditions Staff,

Thank you for all your help with choosing napkins and centerpieces when we were visiting a couple of weeks ago.  Everything is so beautiful.  Thank you for the tour.  I can see why Polly Beth wants to have here reception at Grand Traditions.  We were able to choose a wonderfully delicious cake at Candy Haven and had such fun while we were doing it!  We are excited and looking forward to November.

Hi Tate, Julie and Lecil
I've been meaning to email all of you to thank you for everything that you did to make our day special!  We were quite pleased with how everything turned out and appreciate all of your efforts.  Since we did not hire a videographer we enjoyed watching the video through the security set up.  And thanks for all the extra pictures, especially the buffet since we never really got to see it! 

     We will recommend you to everyone! 

          Terry  and Mike

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you all very much for the hard work and extra thought you put into our wedding day!  I have had many calls with guest expressing how wonderful of a time they had.  Everyone commented on how relaxed on an atmosphere it was and how everything went so smooth!  Don't be too surprised if you hear from couples that were at our event that are getting married in the next couple years... they all said that Grand Traditions is the way to go!  And lastly to Mike - not only did you perform a beautiful heart felt ceremony - you were able to mix it up and help everyone have a GREAT time at the reception!  Thank you from the bottom of my heart!  Please feel free to give my name and number for future reference...

     We wish you continued success! Love,

          Brian and Heather Fanilli)

To all the staff at Grand Traditions,

I must say I was so impressed with everything you all did from rehearsal dinner to wedding reception (the fajitas, the cakes, table decorations, music, limo). All of our guests fell in love with Grand Traditions, many saying it was the most fun they've had in a long time. I could tell my son-in-law had a wonderful time when he said, "I can't believe it's almost over". What a compliment that was. This was an evening that we will never forget. You all played a tremendous part in one the Pinckard & Abbott families grandest days ever.

     May God bless you all.

          Thanks again,

               Tammye Pinckard

Thank you so much for making our wedding day an awesome experience.  Everything was so beautiful and the whole day went smoothly.  We had so many of our guests comment on how beautiful the chapel was and what a great job you guys did.  I have already recommended yall to several of my customers at the bank who have recently gotten engaged.  You guys are wonderful and we are so grateful that we choose Grand Traditions as our wedding and reception site.  Yall made it so easy and that's the way it should be.  

     Thanks again,

           Jason and Ashley Stewart

Dear Staff,

     Thanks Again,

          Rodney & Kristen Johnson 

I am writing to thank you both for the wonderful wedding reception for Peg & Sean O'Grady on May 18th.  The room looked great.  The food presentation was beautiful as well as delicious.  Candy Haven did a marvelous job on both cakes.  Tate, you really did an outstanding job on the wedding cake with the red roses.  We received so many compliments on them.  You were both so easy to work with.  I will certainly recommend you and your facility to anyone wanting an easy way to plan a complete wedding. 

     You make it so simple. Sincerely

          Kathy Skierski

Hi All,

I wanted to tell you "Thank you" for having such a nice reception for Ryan and Julia.  I heard only wonderful comments about the reception and how lovely it was.  Both Ryan and Julia had a wonderful time, as did the rest of us.

Hoping that this finds both of you and your families well.

     Deborah Ragsdale (Ryan's Mom)

Dear Tate, Lecil, Julie, Mike, & Staff

Thank you all so much for making our wedding day wonderful.  The reception was fabulous.  We had a great time and are told by guests daily that they did too.  You were all so helpful every step of the way.  You definitely make planning the whole thing so much easier.  I could not have done it without your help.  Again, thank you for such a wonderful and beautiful reception.  We are ready to do the whole thing again.  

     Love

         April & Kyle

Julie,

Thank you so much for all you have done for us.  I know everything is taken care of for March 16th which is a wonderful feeling.  I also know that I have make a new friend.

     Fondly,

         Sue

I waited intentionally to write this letter of gratitude.  I did not want the emotions of the wedding so vivid in my mind,  to be expressed in emotions of the wedding so vivid in my mind, to be expressed in my words.  Good things are embedded in your heart.  This letter comes with words flowing, with true feelings from my heart.  My daughter's wedding was beautiful, but the spirit of good people reflected in all that surrounded us.  All attendants were in good spirits, including bride and groom, because of your efficiency.  The place was elegant from the foyer to the ballroom.  The guest had so much fun.  The pictures show everyone participating and having a good time.  Someone said "We had a blast and you did not serve any alcohol".  Thank you for all you hard labor.  Your kindness was a bonus, that we were given and for that I pray you all will be very blessed. 

     For ever indebted,

        Shawna Bryson

Tate & Lecil,

Thank you for all that you did to make our wedding day so special.  Everyone had a great time!  You have a wonderful facility and a very helpful staff.  We appreciate all your thoughtfulness!

I'd do it again in a heartbeat. My son-in-law said, "I can't believe it's almost over". Both Jeff and Shannon had a tremendous time. What great customer service you all provided to everyone of our friends and family.

Dear Lecil & Tate,

I wanted to take a moment to let you know how grateful I am for everything you did to make Leigh and J.J.'s wedding such a memorable occasion.  While I was not really involved in the planning stages, I can tell you that the end result was wonderful!  Your staff was accommodating, the food good and the setting marvelous.  I think everyone there had a great time.  I know that if anyone asks where you can hold a really gracious affair, the answer from me will be Grand Traditions.

     Thank You,

          Gayle Barr (Leigh's Mom)

     Connie & CA

Tate and Family,
Thank you very, very much for making our special day the best it could ever be.  Everything was absolutely fantastic thanks to your hard work and effort.  All the people we have spoken with said they had never had such a great time.  We owe that to you! 

    Thanks a million!

     Take Care
          John & Tammy Phillips & Girls

Dear Tate and Lecil,
Thank you so much for the incredible job you both did on our wedding and reception.  We had so many compliments about the flower and candle arrangements, the tables, punch, cakes and the music.  All the work that you did setting everything up and the cleanup afterwards was such a great relief to myself and the mothers, knowing that we did not have to do any of it.  The special effort with the music we wanted was also great!  So many couples stress themselves out and become nervous wrecks trying to handle everything themselves, but you did it all for us!  Everything was just perfect!  We very much enjoyed watching our videotape of the wedding.  Thank you so much for making our wedding day such a memorable occasion.  If you ever need a reference in the future, please feel free to give my name and number and I will be more than happy to tell anyone what a marvelous job you did.     Thank you again for everything!

     With many thanks, 

          Kristina Ontiverous, Dallas Texas

     Best Wishes

          Shawna

Dear Grand Traditions Staff,

We were pleased to work with you as you provided our daughter's wedding reception on July 29, 2001.  We thought you were: businesslike and professional, helpful in setting up extra tables,  patient in taking late additions and alterations to the menu and reception, gracious to arriving guest.  We thought the food and drinks were attractively displayed, the watermelon was artfully carved.  In general the whole setup was clean, comfortable, and pleasant.

We appreciated the work of Bloomfield Florist and Candy Haven.

Again, Julie, we liked working with you.  You were most helpful.  We would recommend your business to other couples.

     Maureen and Bob Graf

Dear Grand Traditions,
My parents and aunt/uncle had their 50th anniversary celebration there and I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the wonderful place you have and the wonderful job you all did to make it a happy celebration.  People still are talking about it almost a month later.  You guys did a great job and I just wanted you to know.

The day I walked into Grand Traditions, I knew that this would be the perfect place for this special occasion in my parents and my aunt and uncles lives.  You did an outstanding job on their 50th wedding celebration.  Everything was done so beautifully.  I thank the Lord that he guided me to you and may He bless you tremendously!   What a wonderful job you all performed! 

     Thank you so much!

Many thanks again for such a lovely job that was done on Stephanie's and Ricky's wedding.  Everything went off great and it truly was a beautiful wedding!!!  I figured my next will be Brittney and I want to start planning for her wedding soon.

Hi, Tate
We would like to thank you for all your help in making our wedding the best day of our lives (so far) :) We were quite the center of attention on the way home, also, people giving us the thumbs up, and congratulations left and right.  Thanks for all your help, guys and gals.  If any of my friends ever get married, I know where to send them.

     Regards,

          Scott & Joanna

Dear Tate & Lecil
I want to thank you for all your help and guidance for my daughter Sherry and Bob's wedding.  Grand Traditions is a beautiful, comfortable place, and it made this joyous event even more special for all of us.  Most of all, you are both wonderful, caring people, and you were a joy to work with.  The wedding was perfect, and you and Grand Traditions will always be special to us.
     God Bless you.

Tate, Lecil, & Julie,

What can I say?! You two are amazing!  "Thanks" just isn't enough.  From the invitations to the decorations (and all the advice in between) you completely spoiled us.  The day was perfect and it was due greatly to you.  We love you so much and thank God for bringing you into our lives In Him.
