This is the actual letter I sent to Mary Jean Valente after having the pleasure of her company while she conducted my son's wedding. Do yourself a favor - contact this woman and make a special day PERFECT!

Dearest MaryJean,
This is Kelly DeHaes, Logan Laughlin's mother. My apologies for not writing sooner - I was so involved finishing the school year and then trying to help with the wedding reception we just held yesterday. Nicole also said she knows you've tried to contact her and she feels horrible about not getting back with you. Now that the reception is over, I believe she'll have time to breathe!
I am so delighted the photographer included up close shots of you during the ceremony and the dinner that followed so that everyone at the reception could witness the beauty, both inside and out, of the woman who made my children's wedding so unique, personal, and PERFECT!
Darling, you are a treasure! I cannot express enough how impressed I was with your grace, your warmth, your attention to detail, your care, your charm, your ease and finesse, and how eloquently you maintained the focus upon Logan and Nicole. While that was the way it should have been, you directed everything in such a smooth manner that the spotlight remained upon them without it being obvious.
Nicole is just the perfect match for my darling son and I treasure the day she won his heart. She has a remarkable talent for knowing what is right and she certainly hit the mark with selecting you to perform the most memorable wedding I have ever witnessed! I believe Logan will make Nicole's life as wonderful as she would like and MaryJean, you gave them such a remarkable beginning on this journey - I cannot say thank you enough!
When I first saw Logan after the honeymoon and the beginning of his internship in Kansas City, I could tell there was something a bit different about him. I realized it was that he seemed more grounded, more fulfilled, more content, more satisfied. I can only attribute it to the fact that he has what he wants - to be married to Nicole. Everything else is extra because he has what is most important, his life with her, officially, permanently, forever. You made that possible and I cannot imagine anyone else who could have done that for both of them more perfectly than you.
Please contact any of us if you want/need a referral, testimonial, whatever.
Again, my most heartfelt thanks to you for the pleasure of meeting you, the time spent visiting with you, and for touching the hearts of my darling children. You made my son's life perfect, gave me a new daughter, and made her life perfect, as well. I will love you forever!
Hugs,
Kelly DeHaes
