I have waited much too long to send this note. My wedding was a picture-perfect dream. When I saw the dining room all set up, it looked like a photo from a bridal magazine of a wedding I thought I\'d never have. Every day, I look at pictures from my wedding and relive the wonderful event. My guests are saying that it was the most elegant wedding they have ever attended. My coworkers are still talking about what a great time they had. I must send you a picture of the dining room before guests arrived. I\'ve offered to show brides-to-be my photo album and my great wedding video if they need to be sold on the rooms or the view. I have even offered to show them my contract! Words cannot express how delighted my new husband and I are with the way our special day turned out. I am at a loss to express how I came to care about and depend on the coordinating team during my planning. Your staff was super: kind, polite, efficient, sweet and caring.

Please thank everyone for me, especially Mike and Barb for listening to a ranting bride all evening. Your servers are darling.

Thanks for making my dream come true.

Jim and I want you to know how much we appreciate the effort put forth by all of your Sammy\'s Metropolitan staff in producing the very successful Forum. Joy and Ralph, with the service and production staffs, engineered a flawless event.

The room was packed, but servers made their way through and served all guests in a timely manner. The kitchen crew presented an especially good and eye-pleasing glazed chicken breast entree.

Please thank everyone on behalf of the City Club.

It was absolutely beautiful at the Metropolitan Ballroom. We had a blast. I have had people who were there comment on how great the waitstaff was.

It\'s so sad it\'s all over...I want to rewind and do it all over again. I can\'t wait for the video and pictures. Everyone who was there commented on how great the food and cocktails were. Thanks so much for all you and your staff did. They were amazing and made my night the best ever. All of the vendors I had were complimented and will come highly recommended to anyone who inquires on suggestions.

There are no words that could ever capture our gratitude for the beautiful wedding you orchestrated for us. You and your staff blew us out of the water with the wonderful food and phenomenal service. We have really enjoyed planning two weddings with you. Your creativity, thoughtfulness and patience have been greatly appreciated. We had no worries that our wedding would be amazing because it was in your hands. Our entire family hopes that we can still keep in touch despite the fact that the wedding planning is over.

Thank you again for all your (plus your staff\'s) hard work and effort.

We want to thank you and your staff for helping make our daughter\'s wedding truly special.

We first checked out your facility because we had experienced the wonderful cuisine and service at Sammy\'s. We booked with you because we were confident, after meeting your staff, that this experience would be repeated at the wedding.

The food was great. The service was professional. Despite the delay in the wedding ceremony, the kitchen\'s performance was wonderful. If we have another event in the future, we will be contacting you.

Please accept my sincere gratitude for all of your guidance and help in making Beth and Ed\'s reception such a wonderful, magical evening! Your staff was attentive and wonderful to work with. The food was fantastic! And the room looked beautiful. Tim and I received compliments throughout the evening and many calls the following day from friends and family raving about Sammy\'s and our "great party!" From the tables in the hallway to the cocktail hour, and of course the main ballroom, everything was breathtaking. It was a pleasure working with you.

Everything was absolutely perfect! The service was fantastic. The food was top shelf, and Tim and I received many compliments throughout the evening. Beth and Ed had a great time! The room looked beautiful. Thank you so much for all of your guidance throughout this process. Planning a wedding reception at Sammy\'s is like having our own private wedding consultant. Thank you again for everything.

We had pretty high expectations for our wedding, as does every parent, I suspect, but you and your staff surpassed them all.

Remember the WOW factor? Well, I heard numerous WOWS! It was just fabulous, and it was your special touches that made it so...the flowers on our dinner plates, the pretty green cloth on the lobby table, the pink draped hors d\'oeuvres table, the parade of plates to the bridal table, the silver chairs and especially the food! (Kudos to the Chef!)

The teamwork you developed is outstanding. We felt pampered at our own wedding, and it allowed us to relax and just have fun...and boy did we have fun!

Thank you for a great job!

Throughout the evening, we received numerous compliments, with most of them saying we really know how to throw a great party. None of this could have happened without the planning assistance and advice you provided ... . The food was excellent. The appearance of the facility was first class all the way. The cocktail reception set up worked extremely well. We had enough of the pumpkin martinis to go around (and by the way, they were outstanding). Perhaps the highlight of the food service was the bananas foster bar. Many of our guests commented they had never had this unique dessert at previous wedding receptions. We did not run out. The bar was well stocked, and the service provided by all of the service staff could not have been better. I only wish now that I would have another daughter to marry off so we could do this again. Both Marilyn and I wish to extend a sincere thank you to everyone at Sammy\'s who helped make this an unforgettable event.

Thank you for all of your help with Chris and Ben\'s wedding. Everything exceeded my expectations. The attention to detail by you and the staff at the Metropolitan made the wedding reception one of the most memorable evenings in our lives. I will be writing a formal letter to Sammy\'s with our rave reviews. After experiencing a Sammy\'s wedding, nothing else will ever compare. We wish we had more kids so we could do it all again and again! Take care, and thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was SPECTACULAR!!!!"; document.write(sidebar[rand(sidebar.length)]);
