Dear
Reverend Marlan:
As Banquet Manager of The Metropolitan, I have witnessed countless ceremonies
both religious and civil, so when it came to choose someone to perform
my own ceremony it was a difficult choice. However, I know my choice was
the right one.
We don't know where to begin to thank you for the wonderful ceremony you
performed for our wedding. It was so personal, so spiritual, so graceful
and peaceful. As I look at the pictures, there are many tear-filled eyes
in the audience. Everyone was touched by the spoken words as well as the
spirituality and love present in the room.
We truly appreciate your suggestions from the candle lighting with our
children to the presentation of flowers to our parents as well as the
silent meditation that gave everyone reason to reflect. We continue to
hear from our guests that it was the nicest and most meaningful ceremony
they have ever attended. Everyone was included and felt a part of the
ceremony. We couldn't have asked for more. We will cherish the memory
forever. Thank you for such a lovely memory.
Sincerely,
Eileen and Kevin

Dear Reverend
Marlan,
I know this
has taken us 6 months to write but finally we received our photos, please
forgive us for the delay. Herbert and I want you to know how very
important you were to both of us. For Herbert and I planning our wedding
ceremony was truly the most important aspect of our wedding
day.
Being that
Herbert and I were raised two religions we needed to make sure we could
incorporate both into our marriage ceremony. Our main goal was for us to
make our ceremony customized just for us. From the very beginning you were
there for us 100%. Even on the first day we say to meet you totally
overextended yourself to us. Whether it was deciding what poems to read at
the ceremony or whether or not to have a ketubah you showed us every
option.
I have to tell
you Susan even now 6 months later people still talk about our ceremony.
Our family & friends truly loved everything about the wedding. Everyone
was so impressed with the words in which you spoke that day as well as the
wonderful touching moments we added to our wedding. Still to this day
everyone I meet wants to know "What was the best part about the wedding?"
and my answer is always the same... It was without a doubt the ceremony.
We enjoyed every minute of it. It was a true reflection of everything we
could of wanted.
Also on a very
personal note I wanted to thank you so very much from the bottom of my
heart in helping us find a way to incorporate our deceased parents into
our ceremony. With your help you made Herbert and I feel so overcome with
joy even though in some way the day brought some bitter sweet sorrow.
Herbert and I
know we look forward to seeing you again one day in sharing other joyous
occasions in our life. Thanks again.
Love,
Elaine &
Herbert Guerra

Dear Susan,
It has been
six days since our wedding, and our guests are still calling to compliment
us on our ceremony. It was exactly as we dreamed. Everyone felt involved
and very much a part of our celebration. Even our parents and my grandmother
told us how special it was. although, as you recall, they originally wanted
a Catholic ceremony in a church,. To say the least, they were impressed
and so very proud.
Love, Cheryl
and C.J.

Dear Susan,
Our Wedding day was wonderful and everything we ever could have dreamed
of. Friends and family are still telling us that the ceremony was so personal,
beautiful and heartwarming, and you were so sincere and genuine that they
thought you had known us for years. You put us at ease as you led us through
the ceremony. (just like you said you would) One of my mom's friends said
"It made her want to get married all over again." Thank you for being
such a special part of our day and our memories.
Love,
Kerri and Dominick __________________________________________________________

as I could have imagined. Even now, four months later, people are still
raving about you! You are truly a very special person and we are so happy
to have met you. I hope all is well with you and we look forward to you
blessing our children.
Love, Laura and Rick __________________________________________________________
Dear Susan,
I am so glad that I was led to seek your services for our children's wedding.
The marriage ceremony was more beautiful and touching than I imagined
it could be. You helped capture and present the gift of love that was
the eminence and essence of the occasion. All in attendance were touched
and awakened by the heartfelt connection you made to each and every one
of us, especially Stacy and Jake. Thank you so much for your sincerity
and effort in creating a very memorable and remarkable day.
Sincerely,
Angela __________________________________________________________ Dear

Dear Susan,
Just a note to express our thanks & gratitude for the most moving and
beautiful ceremony. People really listened to your words, and it was clear
that they were deeply affected. It's rare, that a ceremony should be as
memorable as ours was. Your words and presence really touched a chord
in our guests as was evidenced by the laughter & tears. The part you played
in the most wonderful and important day in both our lives was unique and
most important to us. What a wonderful way to start our lives together
- with words and thoughts so true and perfect for us.
