THANK YOU [Sheryl Thompson] so much for all of your hard work last week. I never get enough time onsite to talk to you and tell you how much you're appreciated. ALL of our dinners have been phenomenal, but everyone went crazy over Pegasus this year. I've never heard so many compliments about one dinner. They LOVED it!

Hello, Cheryl [Boyd],
Now that we have returned to London, I just wanted to write to thank you and your staff for all your help with the Tuesday and Wednesday night functions that we did during Ryder Cup week.
It was a pleasure to work with you and there is no doubt that your expertise helped to add value to both nights.
Thank you and best regards.

Hi Cheryl [Boyd].
It was wonderful!!! Although it was hard to imagine so many people without electricity since it was business as usual at The Brown. It really makes you appreciate the wonder of electricity!! :)
The throws were a hit!
Thank you Cheryl!!

Good morning Lyn [Mabry],
I truly believe that you recognize and appreciate the limitless opportunities that we have in our continued partnership. Per our conversation, this relationship is due in large part to two very important members of your team: Ms. Kristen Staugas and Ms. Audrey Petty. It is because of their professionalism, work ethic, passion and genuine commitment that I am very comfortable and confident to recommend Essential Details to all my clients. Please know that this trust was earned. I have the highest admiration and respect for these two women - as individuals and as representatives of Essential Details and the Louisville Marriott Downtown. Your continued success in the event planning industry will be thanks to employees - like Kristen and Audrey - and their attention to every detail, coupled with their emotional and personal integrity with each event. They recognize that the littlest things make the biggest difference! Do you think I am their/your biggest fan? Absolutely! Congratulations to you. I look forward to working with you and for you and I am equally excited in the opportunities that the New Year will bring with our new partnership.
Regards,
Richard

Finally, I would like to thank you for your immaculate preparations and support for the event. The location was superb and your account management was second to none. You are a great person to work with. Give my thanks to the whole team that was involved.
It is unlikely that we will have another event in Louisville but if I'm ever around, I will come and see you. And in case you ever make it to London, let me know.

Essential Details was "extremely" proud to design and manage the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition wrap-up party in Louisville November 2007.
"I wanted you [Sheryl Thompson] to know how happy I am with the way you handled the party. Everyone from the designers to our sub-contractors, thought it was an awesome party and the perfect conclusion to a perfect week. Thanks for working with me and making it so easy. Please feel free to use me as a reference with any future clients."
Joe Pusateri

"You [Sheryl Thompson] were great to work with. Everyone was impressed with the look of the room and the event. We heard a number of "Wows!" when people entered the room. Thanks, again!"

"Thank you Sheryl. I thought it [the economic summit] was very successful [too], and it looked so nice. Thank you so much!"
Shannon Byrne, Kentucky Chamber of Commerce
Economic Summit
"I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful tours you developed and hosted for the Colt Collectors' Association's (CCA) annual show in Louisville, Kentucky in October 2006... Your expertise in planning the tours and your tour guides' friendliness and first-hand knowledge of the places the members visited made the tours a successful travel adventure.... I appreciate the care and attention given to our members, as well as the professional handling of the details.... Everything was perfect, and you made it all possible with your planning and a great deal of work. I would definitely use Essential Details again, and I will recommend your company to groups coming to Louisville."
Barbara Hinesley, Ladies Program Coordinator
Colt Collectors' Association

"I would like to thank you for your immaculate preparations and support for the event. The location was superb and your account management was second to none. You [Sheryl Thompson] are a great person to work with. Give my thanks to the whole team that was involved. I apologize for not bringing in the 100 customers but I still believe we had a great event."
Marc Campman, ACE Interactive

"My husband and I attended the 1st Cavalry Division Reunion in Louisville, Kentucky. It was our very first rip to your lovely state. Our tour to Frankfort with Essential Details was a wonderful experience, not to mention the 'Southern Charm' that made us feel right at home."
Daniel and Barbara Tarver

"You [Audrey Petty] were an absolute delight to work with. You took so much pressure off of us that we were able to be involved in every detail of the operation but still have a good time in the process. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
Gregory Lowe, RMPO

"Thanks very much to you [Jennifer Wishnevski] and Audrey Petty in organizing our WPO Couples Retreat to the Kentucky Derby in May [2005]....This is a group that travels extensively, both domestically and internationally and sets a very high bar for expectations. Your firm met and exceeded our expectations and really lived up to your name. All of the 'essential details' were covered, and we were delighted with the outcome. You were responsive to our thoughts and ideas and anticipated our requirements."
M. Robert Dussler, Chapter Chairman
World Presidents Organization, Houston Chapter
"I readily agreed to provide a letter of recommendation because of the following reasons: *As the months unfolded, the fact that we made a wise choice became quickly evident. Audrey and her team became our 'go to' whenever we had a question or an issue and they were always quick to respond in a professional and accurate manner. Without her assistance, we would've spent innumerable hours chasing details that are in fact the essential details that they handle with alacrity and deftness (perhaps this is how they came to call their company Essential Details). *Of note also may be their efforts to provide the best service available while keeping costs under control."
Thomas J. Briggs, Colonel, US Army (Ret)
