• "We have just arrived home in cold, snowy Maine and are ready to turn back! It was great to hear from you upon our return. We had the time of our lives and you were a major part of the fun. You were great. Thanks so much. Your intuitions were right on about what was needed, when and where. Your music appealed to everyone from the oldest family member to little Cheyenne, the 7 year-old flower girl. Your relaxed, competent approach put us all at ease - the nervous bride, the somewhat "out-of-our-element" Maine parents, and all the crazy bridal party friends. I couldn't believe it when I looked out and everyone there was dancing! It was truly a fun and love-filled experience, a real tribute to you two. I am glad you had fun too. I am sure that Cher at Sea Oaks and the other locals will be buzzing with recommendations for future employment. Best wishes and happy New Year to you both. I hope we run into you again somewhere." Sonja Schmanska, Tenants Harbor, Maine
