Chelsea,

Thank you SO MUCH for 1) putting up with all changes I made, 2) not being frustrated with all my back and forth and indecision and 3)pointing me in exactly the right direction at every turn. Most importantly, thank you for always remaining calm when I felt completely uncertain. One down, two to go!! I am hoping for a small European wedding, someplace I want to go!!

Fondly,
Janine


Chelsea,

Thank you so much for all of your help and hard work on our wedding! It was the PERFECT night and could not have been possible without you, your attention to detail, diligent support, and steady presence! My mom and I seriously cannot thank you enough! I will be sending all of my engaged friends your way. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Love,
Julianne


Chelsea,

Thank you so much for everything you did to help make our wedding day as beautiful and perfect as it was. Now that I have had a few weeks to reflect back on the wedding, all I can say is that it was truly magical, amazing, and was everything I envisioned and MORE. All in all, the weekend was incredible and having you there allowed us to really enjoy each moment without worrying about anything. We are so appreciative of all your hard work for the past seven months; it is hard to believe it is all over! Thank you for making the entire process so fun. You helped us create an unforgettably perfect day and for that we cannot thank you enough.

Love,
Allison


Dear Chelsea

I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for all of your help this past year. Our wedding was everything I dreamt it could be. We had a blast and I know without your orchestration and attention to detail I would not have been able to pull off such a spectacular wedding. All of our guests raved about everything from the mass to the late night party in the Tremont Suite and everything in between! It was so nice getting to know you this past year! Thank you again for being so kind and thoughtful!

Love,
Carol Donner


Chelsea

Thank you so much for your kindness and expertise in helping to make Elizabeth’s day so beautiful! It gave me such peace of mind to know you were organizing everyone and setting our personal things in place. Your composure went a long way to se us all at ease, and your attention to the end of the evening was wonderful, too!

My sincerest thanks,

Pat Clayton


Chelsea - You started out as our wedding planner and have become our dear friend!

Your assistance with Emily's wedding has no dollar value! You guided us through a few difficult issues and that precious smile and calm demeanor never waivered. Your talent, experience and lover for what you do brings so much to the table but more importantly your ability to keep mother and daughter in the moment was amazing.

All of our family had the opportunity to take in every minute of Emily and Daniel's special day knowing we were in such capable hands.

Cannot wait to work with you again!

Best,
Cindy van Keppel


Dear Chelsea,

We cannot thank you enough for making our wedding so perfect! Everything was better than we imagined, and we appreciate all of the hard worked that you did to make our day so seamless! We were able to enjoy every minute, knowing that you had everything under control! Thanks again for being a part of our special day!

Most Sincerely,

Caroline and Parker Bates


Chelsea,

Thank you so much for all of your help planning our special day! You have been absolutely incredible and I can't imagine having completed this process without your help! We wish you all the best in the future!

Thanks You!
Jenny & Travis


Chelsea,

Thank you so much for the excellent job you did with Jenny's wedding. Everything went so well, and you were the main reason.

Your professionalism, attention to detail, and sunny disposition made the experience a delight- certainly a lot less stressful too.

Thanks for everything
Father of the Bride


Dear Chelsea,

How can I ever thank you enough for the tremendous job you did handling our wedding? From the get go your calm nature, willing spirit, and outstanding organizational skills guided us through what can be a very anxious and emotional time. I was never made to feel like I was a bother--you fielded my countless phone calls and emails with grace. You were a great sounding board and very tactful discussing my ideas. Best of all you were flexible enough to engineer a last minute switch and salvage our outdoor wedding in only a few short hours. You did it all with cheerfulness and efficiency. I have come to think of you as a friend after all we have been through! Thank you for everything--God answered our prayers for this wedding and part of that answer was you!

Fondly, Nancy Zimmerman


Hi Christine,

I wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how awesome of a job Chelsea did in help me to plan our wedding! I am sure you’ve heard before just how fantastic Chelsea is, but I want to echo it!

I was referred to Bell of the Ball by Gayle Eury at St. Lukes. I called your office and quickly received a call back from Chelsea. Jim and I wanted to have a small but nice family wedding in literally 6-8 weeks from the time when I contacted Bell of the Ball. I really had no idea what to do or what I even really wanted or could do in the limited amount of time. Chelsea guided me through every step of the process. She offered the pros and cons when it came time to decision making, kept me calm, was resourceful, creative, and responsive. As we made progress with the planning, I knew it would all be ok because Chelsea clearly knew want she was doing and was on it! I could go on and on about how wonderful Chelsea is to work with.

We had the most lovely wedding ever and it was largely due to Chelsea’s efforts! Thank you!

With much gratitude, Nicole


Hi Chelsea!

I hope you've been resting after all you did to make the wedding go so perfectly! You were incredible and Sarah and Alden had the greatest night of their lives!!! They have gone on and on and Sarah said she felt like a princess in a fairy tale! And I've spent so much of the past two days hearing from friends who had such a great time and just thought it flowed so well! Way to go!!!

Again, thank you, thank you! You did an amazing job and I have loved getting to know you!

Talk to you soon, Susie


Dear Chelsea,

Thank you so much for being so knowledgable, organized and calm while planning Carolyn's wedding. You made her "big" day a breeze!

Fondly,
Sonda


Chelsea,

Thank you for a beautiful wedding. We could not have made it happen without you. You are wonderful!

Lisa & Matt


Dear Chelsea,

Thank you for all you did to make our 50th anniversary such a success. Our stress level sure went down when you joined the team! You made the planning and selecting process so easy. And you always had a great solution to any problem that came up. What a gift!

We will certainly recommend Belle of the Ball and you in particular to anyone that needs your services.

Many thanks again,
Ed & Cathey Stoessel


Chelsea-

I can't thank you enough for your help - I could not have had the wonderful Rehearsal Dinner or Breakfast without you!!!!! You were always so friendly and calm and competent - what a combination!!!!!! After ALL the time we spent on Rock House, the last minute change of venue worked out so well. And you did not panic or throw up your hands at the weather situation. And that kept me from not going into a panic attack!!!!! The Rehearsal Dinner was gorgeous, wasn't it - I loved the flowers and the menus at each place setting was such a nice touch. People have commented on the little vases of flowers with escort card and I have given you total credit! I just thought the Rehearsal Dinner was perfect. Everything went so smoothly. Thank you.

Thank you for everything
Jan

Chelsea,

Chelsea-

Thank you so very much for all of your help in planning Kristen and Mark's wedding. I am so grateful for your expert advice and guidance throughout the whole process. I can't think of a single thing that didn't go as planned. You were patient, helpful, full of invaluable suggestions/information and kept us on track throughout the entire process. It is a tribute to you, that I say we could not have planned and held Kristen's wedding without you. Everyone in attendance has commented about how beautiful, exciting and fun the evening was. Best of all, I got to enjoy it too without a moment of worry. I very much appreciate all that you have done for us. I'll miss you so keep in touch!!!

Fondly,

Sue

Chelsea,

It seems our relationship has come to an abrupt end. I want you to know how much I appreciate your guidance throughout this process. I learned so much from you. I wish you all the best in your business!

Most sincerely,

Cheryl Reid
Mother of the Bride


Chelsea,

We are sitting at the airport waiting for our plane and reflecting on the amazing weekend we just had.

On our way here we were taking to my mom about our favorite moments of the weekend. We simply could not narrow it down. Everything was…perfect.

Several of our friends and many of our parents' friends said it was the BEST wedding they had ever been to. And it is all thanks to the hard work you, Natalie, and Shelton put in. I cannot think of anything that could have been better.

I already told Steve that I'm going to be so sad not to correspond with you each week!! Thanks for making it the best night ever!

I will definitely recommend your services :)

Love,
Zahra


Chelsea -

Thank you so much for everything you have done to help me plan this wedding. I don't know what I would have done without you! You have been such a joy to work with and made everything so much less stressful for me. Thank you so much!!

Melissa (Bride)


Chelsea,

Thank you very much for fulfilling a very important role during a critical time in nothing less than a supremely professional manner. Ed Bodde was highly complementary of you. In hindsight, I can't imagine having done it without you :) Our compliments for a job well done!

With warm regards,

Dear Chelsea,

We wanted to take a moment (belatedly) to say a very sincere thank you for everything you did for our wedding. You were a life saver handling all of the vendors, the tiny details, and both of our families (not to mention us!) - we couldn't have done it without you. And we had a blast! So, thank you -very, very much - for all of your help, for staying calm, and for thinking of every last little thing. We're so excited about starting our new life together, and we can't think of a better way to kick it all off than our awesome wedding!

Love,
Brenda & Scott

Fondly,

Chelsea,

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the amazing job you did for our wedding. You played a huge role in how perfect our wedding day was and I know I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you for putting up with my million and one questions and "urgent" emails. Your advice, suggestions, and support were greatly appreciated. I was truly able to relax, enjoy, and take in all of my wedding day because I knew you had every detail handled. My entire family, wedding party, and all the guests commented on how smooth the day ran, how amazing the flowers were, and how great the ballroom looked. You always had an answer when I needed one and we will forever be grateful to you for making our wedding day dreams come true! Chad and I hope we will stay in touch with you and we will definitely be recommending you to our friends Thank you again for being so fantastic - you truly did not miss a detail!

Love,
Allison & Chad
