"Perla Lominchar,
We just got back last night from Greece! It was absolutely amazing. I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a spectacular event. It was first class all the way from the time that I met you one year ago till the present! All our guests, family members and above all myself and Nicholas enjoyed every moment of our wedding. I would highly recommend you. Nick and I will miss our regular emails, but we promise to stay in touch. If you ever come up to NYC, please contact us. We have found a friend in you, who we've grown to love and respect.

"Hi Perla,
I am never lost for words but I can't find the right ones enough to express my appreciation for the excelllent, efficient and highly professional manner in how you and the team took care of the arrangements. The caring and personal touch made us feel confident and so we enjoyed the evening immensely without fear of anything going awry. My friends have been complimenting the success of the evening and have been congratulating us on the management which you had in place. In fact today someone asked if you planned events overseas. You can be assured you have helped to make Barbara and I happy parents for the weekend. In us you have life long friends and do visit Jamaica soon for your next vacation or sometime in the future. God bless you and family we pray for the continued prosperity of your business. Cheers to a job well done and THANK YOU."

WOWOWWWOWOWOW. Jackie has been the right hand and the person that put together all my ideas into the perfect dream. Everybody kept scaring me to not worry if something did not work as I wanted. However, they definitely never had Jackie on their side. My wedding was more than perfect and I know is because of her. Jackie kept the party in our budget with a taste of luxury. Her advices, organization, and coordination made a huge difference. My mom, Tom and I can thank he enough."

Todo quedo tan bello, tan esquicito. La verdad es que solo tengo recuerdos hermosos del dia de nuestra boda y todos nuestros familiars y amigos comentan lo mismo. Gracias Perla por haberlo hecho realidad! Trabajar contigo fue un placer, desde el comienzo nos hiciste sentir como en familia y asi fue siempre. Gracias por haber sido tan complaciente, por sabernos escuchar y sobre todo gracias por tu paciencia en aquellos momentos “memorables”. Sin tu ayuda y dedicacion no hubieramos logrado un dia tan maravilloso y especial. THANK YOU! We miss you!"

Thank you Ladies for making our party an evening to remember. Your help was top rate. Your attention to detail and making sure that Lauren was taken care of since the minute we got there was heaven sent. There were attentions you took with her that I would have been too busy to even think about. From getting us to the locker room dressing areas, the tray of refreshments before the party, and what about holding the lip gloss for Lauren!"

"Perla!
Thank you, thank you thank you. She was one of the highlights of our wedding. Completely detail-oriented, unwavering elegant aesthetics, efforts above and beyond, all with a sense of humour and utmost kindness...without question, our best and pivotal decision of this wedding. Perla put unknown, untold hours into this wedding - from the budget to the flowers to the music to the wine - the list goes on and on. Without Perla, this gorgeous wedding would not have happened. The idea of planning a destination wedding from Pittsburgh was stressful, but Perla made this entire endeavor completely effortless - primarily because it was effortless. Initially a recommendation from the Mandarin Oriental and absolutely a recommendation from us a thousand times over. Perla is indispensable and we are forever indebted to this wonderful wonderful planner and woman!"

You all went above and beyond for us.You guys have really become like family to us. Perla I remember looking up in the church and seeing you standing there and feeling a sense of calm with all the emotions of the ceremony. Jackie you came in to the getting ready with the craziness of what was happening and made me feel calm, and quickly had everything under control. Also your were amazing with my multiple dress repairs. Jesus you did a wonderful job with the picture and also helped make our day special. For this we thank you all.

It's been almost 2 years of planning and everything was beyond our expectations. Every bride tends to worry about things, but you made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy every single moment. Not many people go beyond the call of duty to meet with you after hours. I've always said that's what separates Simply Elegant from the rest. Your love, advice, and support made our wedding even more special. We're truly grateful for all that you've done."

Desde el principio se ocuparon de todos los detalles para que mi boda fuera lo mejor. Las quiero mucho y ahora son parte de la familia. Las palabras que mejor las pueden describir a ustedes son: detallistas, dedicadas a su trabajo lo cual hacen con una satisfaccion increible, amables, NEGOCIANTES, y sobretodo BUENAS AMIGAS. Gracias por todo su ayuda.
Las quiere con todo el corazon"

...Yuliet and Rolando Gonzalez 5/12/07
Miami, Florida

"First a great thank you. I am glad we hired a coordinator. Saves so much time and headaches. I definitely needed someone to keep me on schedule. Also, we loved having someone who knew what was going on and how to deal with some vendors (like the Biltmore), what to ask, and what to expect. Jackie, was always available for me, even when I would call very very early in the morning. It was great having someone by my side. The only thing that I would do differently, is, before the wedding, I would go over the time schedule of the day of the wedding beginning with when everyone gets there. I had no idea when I had to go to the room to take pictures. Also, the bridesmaids had no idea what to do because I had no idea what to do and when. Jackie had an assistant there. She is awesome. She even helped iron the dress. You cant ask for more. However, I know that the reason why there was no one to direct me was because the Biltmore did not let the vendors in on time, so Jackie and her assistant had to make sure that everything was set up properly. So, this is why I would have liked to have the day written out to me by hour in advance. Other than that, I am very very happy and appreciate all the time and effort she put into the wedding. The other thing I would like to mention, is that I did not expect that Jackie would work around my schedule to meet with me. Sometimes she would come in the evenings and stay late even on weekends to make sure that everything was settled and resolved. This is impressive and because of this I felt secure that everything will get done on time. Many many thanks!!!!!"

"Perla,
Cesar and I from the moment we met you, felt immediately like we were with family. You took us under your wing and helped put together a wedding that reflected two entirely different cultures flawlessly. We are so happy and delighted to have met you and are forever greatful for all of your hard work and dedication to us during the past 8 months, we are not sure if we could have done this without you. There are so many pieces involved in putting together a wedding, I am not sure how anyone does it without a wedding planner and I plan events for a living. You added an air of elegance to every aspect of our wedding, we can't believe it is over, and we know that we will continue to have a close friend, thank you and your entire family and staff for making our dream wedding a reality! (and for keeping us sober, just kidding!) We loved the pictures on the two CDs that you sent all of my parents made albums out of them already to show their friends and families."

I never once had to worry or stress about the wedding day, and that to me was priceless! You both made my dreams come true and every little detail was just how I imagined my wedding day to be. You both were ready with every obstacle that arose. We thank you both for everything you did and come highly recommended to any bride. The service and attention you provided made me feel like a true cinderella. It truly was the happiest day of my life!!

AMAZING! No words can describe how wonderful Perla is and how smooth everything went. It couldn’t have been done with out her. Especially when we had difficulty dealing with the Palms. Perla kept on top of everything and as a result, the wedding was amazing. It is also great that Perla brings Jackie and Jesus to help her because she can’t be in 100 places at all times. They were such a big help as well.

"Jackie,
Words cannot express how grateful Moe & I are to have found you and the friendship we created. You are half BORICUA now because you are truly a member of our family. You are like a sister to me and I'm going to miss working with you all. We went through our good times and bad ones but, at the end, the wedding was just SPECTACULAR. Like my family & friends said "Very Classy" The vendors you work with were all so nice and very on point. I did have my bridezilla moment and you did worry but, what's a wedding without a bridezilla LOL. Perla, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU you have a great staff and I wish you all the best in your business. Jesus, you are awesome with the cd's/pictures and we Thank you for all your help. I still can't believe how fast everything went, I barely remember the wedding but, Thanks to pictures and videos I will have a life time of memories. We love you and Thank you a billion times.

"Perla and Jackie,
What can I say… you were the light at the end of the tunnel. You made everything happen and you made it perfect! I knew the moment I saw Sunja and Edmonds wedding that I needed to have you in my life. You executed everything I had started and made sure that everything was done on time and at the right price. With my hectic schedule and the demands of the studio, you made the last four weeks very easy and relaxing. You understood my vision and understood exactly what I wanted the moment we started talking. The weekend was a huge success and my family and friends will be talking about it for a lifetime! In fact people have been sending us Thank You cards. I would work with you and your family again in a heartbeat!!!
All the best and lots of love,

Thank you so much for ALL that you have done for me. You not only helped me plan the most amazing, VA VA VOOM, wedding, you did it while making me feel special the whole time. You took care of me just like family and have truly become a part of my life It's incredible how, in just under six months, you were able to take my vision and run with it. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to go the extra mile, or two, or twenty, to make sure that everything was exactly like I wanted. You were always available to talk to me, to guide me...and the end result was ....PERFECTION!!! My friends who are getting married are all aspiring to " have a wedding as beautiful as mine". Our wedding is an inspiration to others and it's all thanks to you.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!"

"Hi Perla,
I hope you are feeling much better today. I wanted to thank you, Jackie and Jesus for coordinating the most amazing wedding that I could have ever asked for. I enjoyed every minute of it. I just can't believe how fast the night goes by. After the showers passed (and nothing was stopping me from walking down that aisle) the rest of the evening was absolutely beautiful. The chuppah was spectacular. exactly what i envisioned, many kisses to jorge for the amazing centerpieces and bouquets as well. Every single detail was covered and I couldn't have done it better. The highlight of the night was my R (thank you Jackie). It looked so terrific. It made the photos so cool and our entrance even cooler! I can not wait to see the video. The photographer has already uploaded 882 photos from the wedding on the www.parkavenueparty.com website. My biggest fear so far has come out so beautiful. Everything turned out beautiful. I don't know how many times i can say it but as many times as i can i will. Everyone had a good time and thought the atmosphere was beautiful and the food incredible. This is only a small token of the many thank you's that i wish to give. I love you guys. I'm sad its all over. I will keep in touch and talk to you soon to let you know how the honeymoon goes as well."
Take care.
Love ya,
Michelle

...Michelle and Brandon Royal 1/20/07

"Perla, I want to thank you and Jackie for all your guidance during our year of planning Michelle's wedding. Jackie's Epiphany about the centerpieces was amazing. When we met with Jorge and we were trying to decide on what they should look like I never dreamed that they were going to be as they were. As I look at the pictures now I still can't believe how everything tied in together so perfectly. From the bridesmaids gown and their bouquets, the table linen, the centerpieces and the murals on the walls. The food was incredible delicious. I am still getting compliments at work about the appetizers and the main course. Everyone wants to know who was the chef, how did we find him, of course I give all the credit to you. I gave Ralph thumbs up on Saturday. Not only was the food outstanding but the presentation was amazing, and the drinks, girl you missed the delicious blue Martini.
Perla, once again I want you to know how grateful I am for all your help. You and Jackie capture Michelle's idea of her dream wedding and made it a reality. It was an spectacular event and she had the time of her life.
Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Although we only knew each other for a short period before our wedding, the immediate bond felt as if we had known each other forever. Your love, care, and devotion to making our day the most special and unique is beyond words. You made everything happened so smoothly and with such perfection, from the ice luge to the yummy “Churros To Go” cart. I’ve told you before and I will say it again, you are now part of our family! Being able to share not only the preparations but time with you was a joy. Alex and I are truly blessed to have found such a special person and family to make and share our unforgettable wedding day.

"My dear Jackie (a.k.a “the negotiator”)
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! You gave us a PERFECT DREAM WEDDING. We would have been greedy, if we would have asked for more. Words cannot express our sincere thanks and appreciation to you and to Simply Elegant for making our wedding a success. Our wedding was all that we expected and then some. We had so many compliments and praises for how everything was handled and how beautiful it was. The room looked amazing and very romantic. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous. The food was fantastic, the service was wonderful and there was an ambiance and feeling of togetherness that one can not describe. Jackie, on the day of the wedding, your superb coordination skills and commitment to detail allowed us to focus on each other, our friends and our family. We can say with confidence that we truly enjoyed the wedding day from start to finish and all because of you.
We cannot put into further words of appreciation of how much you mean to both of us. For all those little significant things you didn’t have to do, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! Not only did we find the best coordinator in town (besides Perla :-] ), but a true and caring friend that we will cherish forever. We love you Jackie!
Perlita,
THANK YOU for all the advice and for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us! You as well were a very important part of this celebration and the reason it turned out the way it did.. A DREAM COME TRUE!!! We profoundly thank you for all your caring and love. Please give our thank you to Jesus for helping with the details and for taking those amazing pictures. Thank you to all for treating us as though we were family and not just a client!
God Bless you, With Love,"

Perla,
"A pearl is a rare, beautiful stone that matures over time and comes to brilliance through a lifetime of experiences. Miss Perla is a true representation of this definition. I am eternally grateful that I was guided to Simply Elegant. From the moment I met Perla I had the feeling of being safe and well taken care of. After 10 years of marriage, my husband and I had our long overdue wedding for our anniversary. My dreams came true that day. It was wonderful to have Perla and the staff of Simply Elegant there to help create and support the manifestation of that dream. They paid attention to all of the details and helped to navigate the logistics of a very complicated cultural ceremony and reception. I was able to rely on Perla and her staff to coordinate services between states (New York and Florida) and to smoothly direct a reception of 250 rambunctious guests at a reception that was held in my yard!!! No easy task
To say it simply, Simply Elegant was simply marvelous.
My gratitude and thanks to a group of people that I now consider family."

Perla,
"Simply Elegant! That and more are the adjectives to describe your personality, will and your ability to orchestrate an awesome event-boy you deserve more than these words. Our families, Ernie and I thank you because without you we would not have enjoyed our wedding as much. The sights, sounds and taste were more than we could ask for. Your vendors were nothing less than true professionals. The first thing that comes out of our mouths every time some one asks about our wedding is “we couldn’t have done it without Perla.” Thank you for your patience and friendship. Your help was priceless.
P.S. Please tell d. Sanchez, Artistry Wedding Films, Ubi’s Music Productions, Nevot Flowers, Ralphs Catering and Orchesta America that we thank them so much for a job awesomely done! Most importantly, let your partners in crime (Jackie and Jesus) know that they are the bomb!!!"

"You were more than I could have asked for. Both ceremony and reception site were beautifully decorated and maintained. You guys did a great job, everyone commented on how beautiful it was. Thank you so much for arranging the candelabras! It was so important to me and it looked wonderful. The linens were perfect and the colors coordinated perfectly! The cake, Oh my God, it was beautiful and my monkeys looked awesome. Ubi’s group was great!! Mt father-in-law even loved it! The photographer was fantastic! I was concerned we didn’t get enough pictures but I am sure we did. The videographer was also great. He was very creative and captured some great moments.

The live music (Bob Folse), the monastery, the cake, the linen, music, etc. were perfect and you run an amazing service. BeinG in New York, I could not have arranged this BEAUTIFUL day without you both! The pictures Jesus took are amazing and even today everyone keeps commenting on how beautiful everything was.

Perla,
"I wanted to just thank you for being the Angel that you already are. Planning a wedding is hard enough and when it is being done out of State it is even harder. Through out the process of my wedding I was so overwhelm, but then I met you. Both me and Jarriel are so grateful because you helped us to put the wedding of our dream together. Perla I have gotten so many compliments on the wedding, it was my dream, but you put it together. Thank you for being there not just as my wedding coordinator, but for being a friend and for understanding, I will never forget you Perla and believe me I do not have enough money to pay for what you did for us. Once again thank you, you were born to do this! We truly, truly love you and your great staff. "

"Dear Perla, Thank You!!!!! You did a fabulous job with my kids wedding. I have to confess at the beginning, I really didn't think it was necessary to hire a wedding planner. It sounded like something only the wealthy have to do. lol. But I realized how important you were and the effort you did to make everything look wonderful and unique. I have received several calls today receiving compliments about the wedding and telling me how SIMPLY ELEGANT everything was. Please give our thanks to the florist that did such a wonderful job with the flowers, our guest thought they could not take them home, because they looked so expensive. They were a real work of art. Also my compliments to the DJ, he complied with every single request he was given prior to the wedding and at the wedding itself. He understood exactly what we wanted. Anyways Perla, please Thank everyone that made this wedding one great event for our families. You will definitely here from me soon. I have my daughters 15's to start planning in a couple of years and it won't be last minute like the wedding. lol. Love and much health to you and your family. Zuny Tarrio."

"If there is one word that can describe my experience with Perla it would be INSPIRATIONAL! Not only was she a spectacular event coordinator with excellent skills, but she quickly became a part of my family. Perla and her company (her family) not only eliminate your "wedding planning nightmares" but make the most amazing time of a woman's life and turn it in to what a bride can only hope for-her dream!! From the moment I met Perla, her presence, her faith, and her family convinced me that she was the perfect person to plan my wedding. And at that, the final result was truly a blessing because my wedding was a huge success!!! My family quickly took her in as part of ours. Not only is she a spectacular wedding coordinator, but I'm sure that when you meet her she will become a lifelong friend! I commend her business and only wish her the best! She comes highly recommended by me-Cynthia Mejia-"Gonzalez" (my new last name :-) ) I love you Perla!"

"Well, now that we're a bit rested and caught up with our duties at home, I didn't want another day to pass by without telling you THANK YOU for all your hard work and dedication the day of our wedding. Our special day came out better than we expected and in great part it was due to your commitment and special touch. From beginning to end, everything turned out perfect! Everyone only had nice things to say, including the staff from El Porcao. Actually, one of the servers told Victor: I've been working here 3 years and this is the best party that we've ever had. The best part of all was that Victor and I enjoyed every moment because you were there throughout the entire event taking care of every detail and making sure that all worries were taken away from Victor and I."

"Victor and I, along with our families, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your hard work. Having you involved in our wedding was the best decision we made , we wouldn't have wanted it any other way. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! "

"Perla y Jackie: Queremos darles un millon de gracias por todo lo que hicieron por nosotros. Nuestra boda fue Hermosa, mas bella de lo que la imaginabamos. Sin ustedes nada hubiera quedado asi. Todo lo hicieron perfecto porque aparte de lo profesionales que son, el cariño y el amor que le ponen a cada cosa que realizan es el que hace que todo salga perfecto. Gracias por estar pendiente de cada detalle. Ustedes son unas personas maravillosas. Dios nos bendijo al poder compartir estos momentos tan inolvidables, son lo mejor que nos pudo pasar. Creo que nunca nos cansariamos de darles las gracias. Lamentablemente esta tarjeta es muy pequeño, pero creo que ningun papel alcanzaria porque el trabajo que hicieron fue estupendo. Dios las bendiga siempre y les de lo mejor, nunca pierdan ese charisma tan grande que tienen. Con amor siempre, "
