Abbey wp in Washington DC
Just wanted to send a note and say hello, and also tell you how very much I enjoyed meeting you this past week. The experience that my husband had in Montepulciano far exceeded any other place we visited in Europe. Everything about the culture was amazing, and the people are some of the kindest, warmest and most wonderful that we encountered. We are ready to pack our bags and move! Haha. :)
Seriously though, I want you to know how much I respect you professionally, and I have already started researching ways to get you more recognition here in the US. You have many qualities that set you apart from the other Tuscany wedding planners! First, you are located right in Montepulciano, which is quite unique. Many of the other more well known Italy Wedding planners that I've found on the web are located in Florence or Rome (or not in Italy at all!). You seem best suited for someone who is really looking for the full, Italian immersion type experience! Also, you are exceedingly patient, and you are also very humble. The humility portion is something that is hard to find in our industry, as most planners tend to come across in a condescending or "better-than" type of way. But you are not like this at all. You are sweet, and kind and again, very patient!
I also think your prices are extremely competitive. It seems like you have great vendors you work with that do an amazing job at much less prices than some of the other more well known vendors. This is a huge perk of working with you, obviously. Particularly for clients for want to have their wedding there in Tuscany, but may not have a huge budget to work with.
Anyway, I really hope that we can become dear, life long friends, and that you will consider coming to visit Geoff and I. We would love to have you stay with us, and I could introduce you to other wedding planners and people in the event industry here in DC.... it would be a fun trip, but also good for work, too! :)
Miss you already! Thank you again for everything. You really are a gem!
All the very best to you
Abbey
