Twenty-nine years in the business of planning weddings has given me an intimate view into the dynamics of families during a time of great happiness, anticipation and stress. The sense of me working "for" them quickly evolves into working "with" them. This team spirit and inter dependency creates a bond not unlike that created when any group is headed by an effective coach, a director, a captain, a manager. Frequently upon completion of a fabulous wedding the clients, now friends, will send a note of appreciation. It's been with pleasure that I have maintained contact with dozens of wedding families at holidays, their anniversaries and with birth announcements! The words of my clients can best describe what it is that is accomplished when they hire me as their wedding coordinator. They have just bought "peace of mind." Families tell me repeatedly that it was the best spent money of the entire budget. It gives me pleasure and a sense of honor to share with you some of the notes I have received through the years.

Most Sincerely,
Michael Nolte

Dear Mr. Nolte,
Thank you both so much for making our special day so PERFECT! I cannot thank you enough for handling all the details. It was everything I have ever dreamed of and more. Most importantly, the rose petal toss (my only "must have") was a huge success, thanks to your staff!
Love,
Lindsay and Glen Hachenberg

Dear Michael,
What fun Don and I have had reflecting back on our daughter's wedding these past few days! The comments from friends continue on how every detail was perfect. Your name has been in the conversations quite often. It was great fun to plan and visit with you these past months. Everyone goes on and on about how relaxed our family was and how much fun we were having. That was only possible because of the care you took to make everything look and feel that way. I can't imagine not having you at a wedding. How do people eve enjoy the experience? It exhausts me to watch you in action but what a pleasure to see a professional that genuinely cares about their brides and their families .Thank you for making this special day possible for our children. It will be an occasion we will all cherish!
Fondly,
Gretta Hoffman
Mother of the Bride, Hayes, KS

Dear Mike and Barbie:
This is a Long Over Due thank you so very much for making Jill's dream of a "beautiful" wedding come true!!!!!! I am not very good with words so I am just going to express myself the best I can..
As you know, since she was quite young, she always said when she got married she wanted you to be her "wedding coordinator" as she loved your ability for decorating and flower coordination. The incredible way you were able to get everything done, with some very big obstacles that would have been impossible for us to handle, was just amazing.
So many people have told me it was the most elegant and beautiful wedding they had ever attended. For Jill and I, you took care of any problems and made "everything" flow with precision. As for the flowers, they were simply incredible. We also loved the tall candles in the Church. As for the reception, the place could not have been more beautiful. Your color coordination is simply "magical." Of course, the wagon for the dogs to ride in was so perfect with the flowers and streamers. Some people said they were just in Awe (!!) of the entire event...
So, Mike and Barbie, THANK you very much for making Jill's and Mike's Wedding Day so Perfect. This is a really big thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was her Dream Come True.
Very sincerely,
Linda Van Stone (Proud Mother of the Bride)
Columbia, MO.

Michael,
Thank you for making my wedding the most wonderful event ever! Your guidance and recommendations along the the way was priceless. The entire Nolte's team was outstanding. I feel like I have gained a friend AND had the wedding of my dreams. Thank you for making it so.
Love,
Melissa Goss Roe (bride)

Dear Mike,
The wedding was everything I hoped it would be. I was pleased with it all...dress, veil, bridesmaids, flowers, music, photographer and especially our wedding planner!
Thank you for your guidance and direction. The day was fantastic!

You are a wonderfully talented man and have such a vision. Thanks for getting us off to such a perfect start!

Dear Michael,
What a beautiful memory we have in our hearts of Kelly and Brian’s wedding. It was without a doubt the most precious wedding we could have ever dreamed of. You did a remarkable job from beginning; the day we met you to the last minute on the evening of Sept. 8th. You created a wedding that was perfect for Kelly’s personality and a dream for us. We marvel at your talents and feel blessed to have the opportunity to work with someone so sincere and genuine. We wish you and only the best in health and happiness in the future.
P.S.
We loved Monique and Drea too! Thank you for their talents and warm hearts!
Much Love and Appreciation,
Don and Carol Fletcher (Parents of the bride)
Liberty, Missouri

Dear Mike,
My wedding was absolutely WONDERFUL! Planning a wedding is such an undertaking-I know that we would have been lost without you. Everything from the dress to the tent was perfect. We were able to enjoy the day without a single worry. The day went SO smoothly. What do brides do without you?
My deepest thanks,
Kelly Bukaty (bride)
Prairie Village, KS

Dear Michael,
Thank you for all that you did to make our wedding so special and wonderful. From the day I bought my dress, to the meetings and the rehearsal, I really enjoyed working with you. You have an amazing talent and deserve your reputation for being the best! It was more than I could of hoped for. I appreciate all of your hard work to make our wedding totally fabulous.
Sincerely,
Lindsey Bock (bride)
Overland Park, KS

Michael,
A wonderful note of thanks for the incredible wedding you pulled off for my daughter. It was a perfect night for our family and my wife and I couldn't have been more proud. Thank you for being so respectful of our church's wedding assistant as well. You have a wonderful gift!
Sincerely,
Doug Firebaugh (father of the bride)
Leawood, KS

Dear Mike,
I have waited to write my most important thank you note until last….to you. I would never have thought myself to be the kind of person to say it, but my wedding was truly the best time of my life. We didn't have a rocky path, but rather boulders thrown in our path and the end product was better than I could have dreamed and I credit you in making it perfect. From the invitations, the dress, the veil, the maids' dresses to the 36" tall candles at the reception, all I can say is "Wow!" Mike you are amazing! You made it all flow so smoothly and not a single detail was missed. You will never know how much I appreciate all you did to make my day so special!
Sincerely,
Jill Anderson (bride)
Blue Springs, Missouri

Dear Mike,
Kyle and I can't thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding festivities absolutely fantastic. Our families will be talking about this wedding for years to come! Kyle, my parents, and I came to you with an idea of how we wanted our wedding to be, and you transformed our idea into something that completely exceeded our expectations. The Church was decorated so beautifully, and the reception…WOW, WOW, WOW. Breathtaking. We still can't believe how absolutely stunning the ballroom was when we arrived at the reception. Kyle and I felt like royalty when we walked into that ballroom and all of our family and friends were cheering us on. The entrance song you surprised us with was just perfect!! The tables, flowers, candles, cake table…everything was just perfect and majestic. And the dance floor! I can't tell you how many people have told us that our wedding was the most beautiful and fun wedding they have ever been to. Hearing this warms our hearts, and we owe this all to you and your expertise.
We also want to commend your staff on being so patient and helpful to us and our family throughout the wedding process. We enjoyed working with them and they should be recognized for their hard work. We want to particularly recognize Amber and Crystal, who were just wonderful to work with and were always so helpful and attentive.
We are going to miss speaking with you and your staff on a regular basis, but we will definitely keep in touch.
Mike, thank you so much!!!!!
Warm regards,
Kylie and Kyle Helmer

Dear Mike,
Obviously this card is NOT big enough, but then again there are simply are no words to express our joy and so many other wonderful emotions!
Simply put……our dreams for our only daughter's wedding and reception were MORE than fulfilled thanks to you! We feel truly blessed in so many ways to have had you create this moment for our family and feel we are a part of the Nolte's Family! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. What a wonderful journey it was and you WERE right……"It WAS fun!"
Sincerely,
Carol and Wes Delp (parents of the bride)
Great Bend, KS.

Dear Mike,
Every detail, every color, every sparkle, every compliment and every smile on our wedding day, can be directly attributed to you. I expected as much from such a professional but I didn't expect the amount of joy and ease that came just from having you by my side during the planning stages.
November 19 a day of sheer elegance, almost royalty. From my Reem Acra gown to the latte maids, to the cathedral with soft strings and serenades, the Rolls Royce…..simply breathtaking, every girl's dream.
I didn't want the day to end for many reasons, but largely because I didn't want to stop working with you. Part of my job as Director of Marketing is to arrange many events for our product shows. I've worked with so many "professionals" in every aspect of planning an event and have walked away from each experience thinking, "I could have done this better myself."
You continue to amaze me, surprise me, and inspire me with the quality of every detail you provided. And the level of personal service made you more of a friend….someone I could relate to on so many levels.
My wedding is a perfect example of the work you do everyday. I hope that you enjoyed working with my family half as much as we enjoyed working with you!
May you be blessed with years of creating masterpieces that last a lifetime.
Fondly,
Amy and John Scholz (newlyweds)
New York

WOW, AMAZING, FABULOUS, PRINCESS, FAIRY TALE...
That was our wedding!!!! Words cannot even begin to express what a wonderful experience of a life time that was----truly a dream come true!! Brandon and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your endless hard work to make this so wonderful and magical. You're the best!
Love,
Crystal Winter (bride)
Overland Park, KS.

Dear Mike,
I just wanted you to know that I have intended to write you a personal thank-you for the last couple of months, but just couldn't come up with the right words.
I STILL CAN'T! How do you say "thanks" for precious memories that will last a lifetime? As we watch the video we will be reminded of the special bonds God allows us to experience during our lifetime. You, sir, are responsible for one of the happiest occasions of our lives and we just want you to know that we will cherish those moments forever.
Lots of Love,
Pam and Jay Plattner, (parents of the bride)
Grand Pass, Missouri

Dear Mike,
Where do I begin to tell you what a genius you are? What an inspiration you are and a true gift to makes a bride's dream come true? You surpassed "Father of the Bride's" "Franc" in every way, shape and form.
Thank you for for making both my daughters weddings so beautiful and perfect. Four years ago with Heather's wedding outdoors at Hallbrook Country Club and the Vera Wang apple green bridesmaids dressed that you suggested, was so spectacular.
The direction you gave us for Amber's wedding was right on target from the very start of our planning. The lighting that I couldn't understand as you described it and insisted on it, was an inspiration come true. When I stepped into the ballroom at the Fairmont I felt like I was in a fairy tale. Without you Mike it would not have happened.
Do you cost a little more? Yes. But you are well worth it to make this special day so memorable. You are worth 10 times that. It's a pleasure doing business with such a professional. I will remember both weddings for the rest of my life. The ease and the lack of stress and everything that you did for me and my daughters, I am grateful forever. Please put me on your list as your "client for life" and as a testimonial to you and your staff.
Sincerely,
Kathy Koehler (mother of the bride)
Leawood, Kansas

Dear Mike and staff,
Thank you for making Sarah's wedding a very special and beautiful event. There is no way in a million years we could have done it without you. Put us on your referral list!!

Dear Michael,
Billy and I wanted to thank you again for making our wedding the event of our lives! Everything was truly magnificent and thanks to you it never even occurred to me to worry about anything! You absolutely made our wedding everything I've even dreamed of and more...I can't thank you enough!
Love,
Amy Anderson Kapsalis (bride)
Chicago, Illinois

Dear Mike,
John and I wanted to thank you for creating the most beautiful wedding we have ever attended. I remember feeling weak at the knees when I first stood at the entrance of the sanctuary. I was so mesmerized--everything happened so fast! The music, the programs, the candles, the twinkle lights on the pews were breathtaking. The came the reception...an absolute blast and surrounded by so many beautiful things. The cake you designed was gorgeous, the tables you decorated were out of this world.. The most beautiful thing was the flowers. I have never even seen so many beautiful flowers! I still get excited remembering, and I've been scuba diving in the Cayman Islands everyday for the past two weeks!. I know you worked very hard to please many people. You certainly did. Mom, Dad and I could not have been happier. John was blown away and so was his family and all our guests. Thanks again for a beautiful memory,
Nicole Coleman, (bride)
Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Dear Mike,
Bill and I can't begin to thank you enough for the FANTASTIC job you did on Ashley's wedding! Because of you, she had the wedding of her wildest dreams. Every meeting we had with you was fun and exciting due to your marvelous personality and we will miss them now that it's over. We were bowled over by the beautiful flowers at the church and the country club. The programs were beautiful...everything was! This is the first Nolte wedding I have been to, but all I know is you outdid yourself on ours and we will be forever grateful!
Fondly,
Dana Miskell, (Mother of the bride)
Leawood, Kansas

Dear Mike,
Thanks for so many things as I think back through all the planning for Tracey and Mark's wedding. If we had it all to do over, none of us would change a thing. Your staff is wonderful and made the evening so smooth. We truly appreciated everyone's  help in making a somewhat stressful event not only fun but beautiful.
Sincerely,

Dear Mike,
My advice to all future brides: Memorize this number, 345-1122 and hire Mike Nolte!
I had such a wonderful wedding Mike. It was all I dreamed of and more. From the first day I met you, knew I needed Mike Nolte in my planning. The planning was fun, the gown you designed beautiful, the ceremony you directed was flawless and the reception...perfect. I felt like a princess in a fairyland.
Thank you for your support, for your detail, for caring about me and for making my wedding unique and special. Brian and I will never forget this day and I will never forget you. You are a magic man.
With Love and Affection,
Nikki Huber Allen (bride)
Omaha, Nebraska

Dear Mr. Nolte,
I knew the day I got engaged exactly where I wanted to go to get my gown. I had heard of the amazing service, impressive gowns and unique style. However, I had never imagined the service I received. You and your staff pampered me and my bridesmaids. Your way of working with people is unique and precious in today's world.
Sincerely,
Kay Sheader (bride)
Kansas City, Missouri

Dear Mike,
Terry and I want to thank you for your superb guidance during the planning of Ginger's wedding. We feel not only fortunate but privileged to have had the benefit of your professionalism. The ultimate success of every aspect of this wedding from the invitations to the reception speak for themselves and we could not be more pleased. We have been truly amazed by the complimentary telephone calls and letters. We find words inappropriate to describe our gratitude and appreciation. We owe it all to you!
Again, thank you for making our only daughter's wedding truly a memorable experience that remains with us forever.
Fondly,
JayAnn Flood (Mother of the bride)
Liberty, Missouri

Dear Mike,
How do I thank you for making my daughter's wedding perfect? You have perfected your craft. You can't imagine the phone calls we have received from friends telling us what a gorgeous wedding it was----even "the most beautiful wedding they've ever attended!"
It was a sensory delight from the music, to the scent of gardenias, to the sight and taste of that incredible cake, to the flight of rose petals. You and your staff have been so dear and patient with us. I will miss seeing them. You are the best and I gladly give your phone number to the many people who have asked.
My Love,
Connie Miller (Mother of the bride)
Kansas City, Missouri

Mike,
I cannot begin to thank you enough for creating the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. Every detail was perfect--the ceremony, music, the dresses, the beautiful flowers and the gorgeous reception. You took care of every detail which allowed my family and I to enjoy the awesome evening. You and your staff were a pleasure to work with and I sincerely thank you for everything. It was the best, most beautiful night of my life.
Steph Brown Crane (bride)
Kansas City, Missouri

Dear Michael,
In the early organizational stages of my daughter's wedding when the idea of a wedding coordinator was brought up I was totally opposed to it. It is my opinion that the orchestration of a top-flight wedding should not be that big of a deal and that we could easily accomplish it within the working family unit.
Fortunately, my wife and daughter were more enlightened and after a certain amount of squabbling I did give in, which turned out to be one of the best decisions I've made in years.
The wedding was beyond my hopes and expectations as it was magnificent, magnificent, magnificent. My wife and daughter who both can be somewhat combative survived the whole ordeal remaining friends. That in itself qualifies you for the Nobel Peace Prize.
You handled every detail in fabulous fashion, but the most impressive aspect of your orchestration of this event was your attitude and communication skills. You kept everyone's stress level very low and the enthusiasm level very high. You were even capable of keeping an over the hill, sarcastic old dog such as myself enthusiastic.
You are truly an artist at what you do and I will forever be your noncommissioned sales person.
Michael, I look forward to our next extravaganza, hopefully not for at least ten to twelve years when it becomes my youngest daughter's turn.
On behalf of the Brown and Crane family I thank you for making not only October 10 a great day in my daughter's life, but in the lives of all of us.
Sincerely yours,
John Brown (father of the bride)
Kansas City, Missouri

Dear Mike,
Thank you for the wedding! I can't begin to find enough praise for each and every detail that went perfectly for Kelly and Mike's wedding. Some comments from guests:
"The food was outstanding.", "The flow of the day was so relaxed.", The hall was beautiful." The day of the wedding I was grateful for all you did. Although I was pretty much a basket case the day of the wedding, I did recognize much of your efforts and I suspect we will never know all the issues, problems and challenges you quietly resolved for us. I can summarize all by saying you did a fantastic job and knowing you were "in charge" was a great relief!
Sincerely,
Ed Maloney (father of the bride)
Lee's Summitt, Missouri

Mike,
We could not have pulled off such a fantastic wedding and reception without your direction and support. Our fond memories are mostly because of your expertise and knowledge. Looking back, we could not have asked for anything more perfect!
Thanks for all you did.
Love,
Nedra and William Fox (parents of the bride)
El Dorado Springs, Missouri

Dear Mike,
I have thought so many times that I must write and thank you for all the wonderful work you produced for Nancy's wedding. I guess better late than never!
As I have reflected back and remember that wonderful day the best part was being able to relax and know you were taking care of the details! And what a superb job you did. Everything was perfect!
Being out of town, your help was invaluable. I don't how we would have found all the vendors without you. Nancy and I both had dreamed of her wedding day for so many years. And with your help it was perfect. As committed people of faith it was important that you also are and understood how important that was to us. We know that God sent us to your shop that Saturday when were just beginning to search for a wedding gown and arranged for you to be the one to help us.
Thank you so much,
Linda Bemis (mother of the bride)
Derby, Kansas

Mike,
I just had to send a few pictures from the wedding! Everything was absolutely perfect!
Thanks for everything you did. We had such a great time working with you!
JoDe Meekins (bride)

Mike,
We would like once again to express how very much all your hard and educated work made our daughter's wedding day so exceptional to all!!
We have accepted so many compliments that we feel were all your doing. Please accept these back through us. How very fortunate we were to have found you and all your staff too!
Love,

Dear Mike,
We had a wonderful wedding. Our friends and family were dazzled, thanks to you! My
day as mother of the bride was enjoyable knowing you were there to run the process.
It was truly a pleasure!

Topeka, Kansas

Mike,
Thanks so much to you and your staff for making our wedding day so memorable and more beautiful than we had ever imagined.
We enjoyed working and planning with you so much. We really miss our monthly meetings! I could never have created the winter wonderland that you did for us. Our family is still talking about it. Thank you for making all our dreams come true!
Kristen and Brett Chapin (bride and groom)
Lawrence, Kansas

Dearest Mike,
What can I say? "Thank you" seems so inadequate today. Everything was truly glorious. You and your staff made LuAnn's wedding a dream come true. The many phone calls, the many visits to the store, the many panic attacks were always handled with such confidence, such professionalism, what would LuAnn and I have done without you?
My husband Nick, has always had a saying, "Surround yourself with good people." Well not only did I surround myself with good people, I surrounded myself with "The Best"! LuAnn and I will always remember you for making this the "Perfect Wedding".
Sincerely,
Gloria Pizzichino (mother of the bride)
Leawood, Kansas

Dear Mike,
Thank you so much for all of your help with the wedding preparations. The day was perfect and even more special that we had imagined. We especially loved the dance floor, the table decorations and the surprise visit from the horse! Thank you for bringing it all together! Take care.
John and Erica Thesing Kratofil

Mike,
Thank you so much for a splendid job of directing Sherri and Todd's wedding. It was simply beautiful and everything went so smoothly. From the gown, the maids' dresses, flowers to the reception--it was wonderful.
Our guests were raving about the reception and the cake. the tables were so pretty. The cake was delicious, just incredible! Thanks again for making it happen so beautifully!
Sincerely,
Patsty Belcher (mother of the bride)
Olathe, Kansas

Dear Michael,
This card is one you may add to your piles of satisfied customer notes! Peter and I were on the highest cloud you could imagine on the day of our wedding! Other than the fact that he and I are totally in love, your assistance and direction of our wedding made the whole event PERFECT! I felt like a princess in a fairy tale and Peter, the prince. Our guests were completely amaze at the wedding and reception. The comments ranged from "this is the most beautiful wedding I've ever attended," to "Who is that man following you around everywhere?"
Your name has been passed to many, many people! My guests were very interested in you and your many talents, I do hope that you were as pleased as we were Michael.
I thank you and Peter thanks you for making our day so beautiful, so joyous and so stress free! Best wishes!
Sincerely,
Angie Dasbach (bride)

Dear Mike,
When Jenna was born, the doctor placed her on my tummy and my dreams for her began at that moment.  The wedding you've helped us plan was beyond exquisite--it was beautiful with the charm and loveliness of a fairy tale.  Please accept this small token of my everlasting gratitude for the work, the advise, the patience you exhibited for the last several months.  You are gifted! How wonderful to have a profession which makes dreams come true.
My heartfelt thanks,
Sandy Zalewski (mother of the bride)
Prairie Village, Kansas

Dear Mr. Nolte,
Bill and I want to take this opportunity to let you know how much we appreciate all of your hard work and dedication in making Rochelle and Curtis' wedding such a beautiful and memorable occasion.
We cannot begin to count the guests who have told us that it was undoubtedly the most well planned wedding they had ever attended.  Everyone seemed to appreciate the way the ceremony flowed with no awkward moments or "lag". your advice on decorating the sanctuary made it simple but quite elegant and that was the look Rochelle wanted.  I am personally glad that I had the opportunity to contribute by sewing blue crystals on that most magnificent train.
We sincerely wish to thank you for a job very well done. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished and proud, as well of the wonderful staff you employ.
Sincerely,
Mrs. William Bailey (mother of the bride)
Lansing, Kansas

Dear Mike,
Dean and I want you to know how very much we appreciate all you did to make Jake and Christie's wedding so spectacular.  Your expertise was obvious and your direction of all us amateurs was excellent.  The topiaries you did for the rehearsal dinner Friday night were as beautiful and the ones you did for the reception on Saturday.
It was a pleasure to meet you.
Sincerely,
Pam Bye (mother of the groom)
Nashville, Tennessee

Dear Michael,
Our thanks to you for your expertise and creativity in planning Lisa and John's wedding.
We continue to hear from our guests that it was the most beautiful and well organized wedding they've ever attended!  I wish we had more daughters to plan weddings for! You made this just too much fun!
Thanks again,
Nancy Greenlee (mother of the bride)

Dear Mike,
It has been almost a month since Jen and Scott were married and I've been waiting to come down to earth to write this letter. I have finally decided that if I wait to stop floating it may be months (if not years) before I write.
What can I say and how can I ever thank you enough?  the wedding was absolutely exquisite. We were thrilled while it was going on and we haven't come down one bit since. Even if we hadn't received a single compliment, we would have been delighted with only the reaction from Jen and Scott.  The look on their faces ...and their tears...told us that you had accomplished something wonderful!! As a matter of fact, they sent us flowers the following Monday (white with silver accents, of course) with a card that thanked us for the "incredible wedding...all we ever dreamed of and more"
I can only say that I think they were thanking the wrong people...because I truly believe the credit belongs to you, Mike.
You listened to me describe the aura I hoped to create...and you made it happen. What a wonderful skill to be able to envision what a Mom is trying to say and then transform it into a fantasy world.  I can honestly say that I couldn't have done it without you and I shudder at the thought that I may have been working with anyone else.
I was so worried about planning a wedding while living half a continent away.  I shouldn't have wasted a moment on that! Your attention to every detail, large and small, is phenomenal. Exceeded, perhaps, only by your creativity!!
I wish there was a way for me to address your future brides and families.  I would tell them that the single most important wedding decision they will make will be the choice of their wedding consultant.  Since I can't do that, I can repeat my offer to you. Please feel free to give my name and home phone number to any potential clients who are seeking references.  I've only made this offer to a other person (in my 55 years!) and it is my pleasure to extend it to you.  Again, Mike, thank ...thank you....thank you!!
Fondly,
LIbby Savner (mother of the bride)
Washington, D.C.

Mike,
I know this card is not big enough to accommodate all of my thanks to you.  I know you've heard this a million times, but you made our wedding day, "a dream come true".
It's been almost two weeks since the wedding and everyone is still ranting and raving about you and how beautiful you made everything for Derrick and me.
The flowers, the cake, the decor, the rehearsal, the reception, the transportation, the invitations, the calligraphy, and even my gown were all perfect because of you. No "Bride-to-be" should ever be without you to coordinate her wedding.
You and your staff are simply the best! Many thanks and blessings to you and your staff!
Kim and Derrick Alexander (bride and groom)
Leawood, Kansas

Dear Mike,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!  I could write that a million more times and it still wouldn't be sufficient to express my gratefulness for your extraordinary services in coordinating my wedding!
Back in April at the moment when you slipped the most beautiful wedding dress in the whole world over my shoulders, I knew that we had stumbled upon an outstanding wedding coordinator. (And we DID stumble...it was completely by chance or maybe fate, that my mother and I ended up at your wedding show at Arcadian Hall.)  What I didn't realize at that time, however, was that I was entering into a relationship with most friendly, generous, un-selfish, helpful, humble, dutiful and courteous man ever!
Even though I was in law school half way across the country, the seven months between my engagement and my wedding were smooth and delightful--thanks to you and your wonderful staff!
And my fairy tale wedding greatly exceeded my expectations, (which were pretty high already, I might add!) I'd spent the past 26 years planning and dreaming about this event, you know!  After the ceremony, with you holding my train off the ground, I left the church feeling like a princess!  Then, when I entered the reception, I felt like an angel!  "Majestic" was the first word that came to my mind when I saw your magnificent creation under that amazing tent!  From the band you hired, to the cake you designed, to the catering which you selected for us, to the flowers, to the lighting you envisioned and every detail in between, it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen! "Heavenly", to say the least.
And while, in my opinion, it was the most visually amazing affair one could ever have attended, it was also a ton of fun!  I cannot even begin to tell you how many notes I've received from our guests, telling us not only how beautiful everything was, but also what a great time they had.  YOU deserve ALL the credit for these compliments and thank you's.  Your intelligence and experience in coordinating the evening's events and highlights were acknowledged and appreciated by all!
The one and only sad moment of my wedding day was when I realized that you had slipped away from the reception without my having the chance to say good-bye and thank you.  You're very lucky, you know, that I didn't send someone after you!
Finally, tanks to you also, I have the most fabulous photographs, which remind me daily of the most special moments in my life, not to mention a phenomenal video, which actually takes me back to that magical day and allows me to share it with others! And you hired both of those professionals for me too!
I honestly cannot imagine how anyone could plan a wedding without you Mr. Mike Nolte! One think I know for sure is that I'll never ever forget my perfect wedding day, just as I'll never ever forget you! Thanks again!
Love,
Tiffany Plattner Robinson (bride)
Alexandria, Virginia

Dear Mike,
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful service and dinner reception you planned for my daughter Sarah's wedding on March 31. I must say I have become an advocate of the use of a wedding consultant and I have told countless other fathers of this and your work on Sarah and Ear's wedding. Needless to say, all my friends from Manhattan were so impressed at the elegance with which the service and the ensuing dinner and dance were presented. As you said, there must be some order in this joyous chaos, and you were able to give just the right amount of order in a truly joyous evening.
I know the location of the Fairmont was chosen by Sarah but you made it look like a church for the service and then like a wonderful restaurant for the dinner-dance. The band you hired was a wonderful choice, playing just the right music for the crowd which must have spanned 70 years in age.
It was a pleasure to meet you and again thanks for a wonderful job.
Sincerely,
John Conderman (father of the bride)
Manhattan, Kansas

Mike,
Thank you so much for all your help during our wedding. The day was wonderful and so special! You have been such a blessing to Beau and I. We pray that the Lord would bless you and your business--thank you!

Dear Michael,
Finally things have started to settle down a bit and Anne and I wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the fine job you and your staff did in coordinating our wedding and reception. Everything was done so professionally it truly made our special day one that was relaxing and stress free so that we could enjoy it to its fullest. We have received many compliments on everything involved with the event from beginning to end. From the invitations announcing the wedding, to Anne's dress, the flowers, the photographer, the music and reception decor including the cake. Everything was stated so elegantly that it was just what Anne and I had envisioned.
Thank you again for your efforts and know that we will certainly recommend you to anyone we know looking for the ultimate guidance to their wedding plans.
Warmest regards,
Bud Davis (Groom)

Dear Mike,

Dear Michael,
Once again Peter and I would like to thank you for all your efforts in helping make the wedding of our daughter, Felice, and new son-in-law, Josh, so beautiful and meaningful. The bride was beautiful, the bridesmaids looked elegant and the mother of the bride wore the "perfect dress". We heard many comments about Felice's beautiful dress and veil that you did for her.
It was a true pleasure to work with you and you staff. You make everything seem so effortless an always had time to answer any of our questions no matter how trivial. We also appreciated your personally delivering the dresses to the synagogue on Friday afternoon.
Sincerely,
Beverly Newman (mother of the bride)

We will never be able to express our appreciation of job done PERFECTLY. we have received nothing but compliments and compliments on how smoothly and well managed our wedding was.
We were both able to relax and enjoy a very special evening because everything was completed promptly and organized effectively. We did not have to stress and were confident in your taste and judgment. Thanks for making our wedding absolutely perfect! (And my dress that you designed was beyond awesome!! Everyone loved it!)

Dear Mike,
It almost seems silly to try and put into words the appreciation we feel for everything you did for us. You created our autumn wonderland and it was as though it were all some fantastic dream. Thank you for your generosity and for sharing your talent with us.
Love,
Marty and Elizabeth Cashion Maroz (groom and bride)

Dear Mike,
I'm looking at the wedding video again and all the beautiful memories are surfacing. Where do I begin to say what is in my hear?
From the time we first met and all the way through, you made us feel special. You answered my notebook of questions and put up with ideas you weren't fond of. You implemented our plans and dreams for our daughter's wedding and reception beautifully. We were able to enjoy the day without a worry because of your professionalism and knowledge. I'll always be grateful for all you and your staff did. That day I feel, proud, pleased and pampered.
Your "creation" on Debbie including the veil, train and bouquet was breathtaking. She truly radiated like a bride should. Many people stated she should be in pictures ....or model for you!
Everyone is different in their wants, wishes and wallet but none will compare to our beautiful daughter's wedding in our hear. Mike you can rest at night knowing that one more customer was pleased at all your hard effort that was done to make the day special for another bride!
Lovingly,
Sharon Mattson (mother of the bride)
Columbia, Missouri

Dear Mike,
Hi! We would like to thank you for a job well done with Eric and Aime's wedding. Our trust in your organizational skills gave us peace of mind during the planning stages and the wedding day. We felt like guests throughout.
Our friends continue to make complimentary remarks about the wedding. They say the wedding was classic and elegant and the flowers awesome!
Again, a million thanks for everything you did to help us with the wedding. Hope you've already taken care of our bills with the charge card. We look forward to seeing you again sometime, somehow!!
Sincerely,
Ed and Emma Mayuga (parents of the groom)
Saint Louis, Missouri

Dearest Mike,
Thank you so much for everything! You both made our wedding so very special. As I go back through the pictures, I see so many special touches of yours. The church with all the beautiful arches, flowers and candles was exquisite! The reception was grand! All, al night never to be forgotten!
Thank you for the beautiful bridal box with the very special potpourri of my bouquet's petals. I will cherish it always. I have it next to our bed along with a wedding picture.
I can't imagine how spectacular the weddings of your daughters will be if you made mine so beautiful!
Affectionately,
Bryon and Diana Duff Honomichael

Dear Mike,
I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated all of your help in the planning of my wedding. Your ideas and advice were outstanding. I knew from Susan's wedding that the flowers and dresses would be well taken care of and they were. I was a great comfort knowing I did not need to worry about a thing! Everything turned out just beautiful. You and your staff worked very hard and it paid off. Thank you for helping a dream come true!
Sincerely,
Sally Pistilli (mother of the bride)
Kansas City, Missouri

Dear Mike,
I'm not sure where to even begin or where to find the words to tell you all that is in my mind and heart.
Never in my wildest dreams could Libby and Warren's wedding have been more perfect. Every detail was perfection. Details rule my life with an unbelievable critical eye for what is in harmony and for sure there was total harmony Saturday evening both at the church and reception--plus everyone, including the bride and groom having a marvelous time!
The band was such a hit, the strings so perfect for cocktails and dinner, the tables stunning and ALL the flowers both kinds and colors----breathtaking (3 candles, a nice touch! who thought of that?!) Libby was such a happy, radiant young woman. You gave us all of this plus the luxury of actually enjoying all of it. It truly meant so much for Libby's day to be so perfect but enjoying all of the day with meant more than I can EVER express.
Another plus to all of this actually is that we have become friends while creating this day. All of us have been enriched by you and you entire wonderful staff. My wish for all of you is great happiness and continued enjoyment in your marvelous profession.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Riley (mother of the bride)
Columbia, Missouri

Dear Michael,
The Riley-Martin wedding....it was splendid! I have attended many weddings at my beloved church, the old FBC...butlast night was superb. Every detail thoughtfully executed. From our balcony perspective, it was a "class act". you are unbelievable! And the reception a perfect score.
Best wishes Michael in all your future endeavors. This wedding attendee was certainly impressed.
Sincerely,
Randall Kilgore (guest)

Dear Mr. Nolte,
How can we ever thank you? Everything was perfect! All of the flowers were absolutely breathtaking. It was a good feeling to know that we were in good hands and did not have to worry about the details. Also thank you for remaining patient and calm when we were pulling you in different directions. We would also like to thank all the people who work for you. They get a medal for putting up with me for an entire year. I love you guys.

After all the "hoop lah"...Jamie and I have finally settled down and have started procession our memories one by one. We LOVED the wedding you directed for us. It was perfectly beautiful in every way. We couldn't' t be more delighted with every part of it and are SO glad we hired you as our coordinator! Thanks for the fabulous memories of our special day! You did good!!
Fondly,
Ann Ewers Malloy (bride)

Dear Mike,
I don't know where to begin to thank you for everything you did to make my wedding such a dream come true. My gown, the bridesmaids' dresses, the altar decorations, the bouquets, the reception were so elegant. The wedding is over but Mexico is still talking about "the wedding of the summer!)
I appreciate all your organizational skills. I could have NEVER done this without you.
The pictures look great and we're anxious to receive the video you arranged for us.
Again, my deepest thanks. I loved working with you and your staff.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Stahl Kasubke (bride)

Dear Michael,
How can I ever thank you enough? Because of you, my wedding was a dream come true! Most girls only dream of such an event in their lifetime, but I was fortunate enough to have an extraordinarily talented wedding coordinator who so generously gave of his time and talents. It was such an enchanted evening I never wanted it to end. You've become a very good friend to all my family during these months of wedding planning. You will always be a treasured memory we will credit with the success of the day!

Fulton, Missouri

Dear Mike,
We're all still basking in the warm glow of a glorious wedding. Everyone had a wonderful time- the church was magnificent and the bride and groom were overwhelmed by all the attention to detail that make their day so perfect.
I credit you personally with taking all the stress and anxiety out of the whole event. I sailed through with no doubts that everything would be taken care of in your characteristically efficient manner.
Thank you for your professional acumen--it made the difference between great and PERFECT! Your personal commitment made you part of our family.
We will never forget it.
Kay and Phil Walters (parents of the bride)
Mission Hills, Kansas

Dear Mike,
Relax, relax, relax. I know that you must have only one nerve left in your body, because I am convinced I worked every other one of them into a frazzle. How DO you put up with the mothers of the bride? True to form, I'm certain that you would reassure me (once again) that we aren't all that bad. Well.....you aren't so bad yourself!
It was my intention to write something profound and witty, as well as poetic...but alas, it is too great a task in my present state of "after the wedding" bliss. One week later and I'm still basking in the accolades of family and friends who attended. The reviews are RAVE and of course I love it. I do however, think you know me well enough to know that without a word said from anyone, it was my "most" special of nights.
How lucky I am to have found you! We began with a dream and a trust in each other, and you truly directed the entire event. You met every challenge, overcame every obstacle, held our hands, calmed, comforted and guided us. You had excess energy and an endless flow of creative ideas. And I hired you for what?
Your labors and stress have ended with us. I hope that you know the gratitude in my heart for your professionalism, for you caring ways with Nikki, and for you tolerance and meeting of the minds with me.
We need not to calculate our gain in hiring you...if I didn't know it in the beginning, I truly did in the end. I enjoyed "almost" every minute of working with you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this day that meant so much.
Regrets? Only two ...that I only have one daughter and that I should have had my picture taken and framed in Nikki's veil for you. I know it gave you nightmares!
I'll call you soon with the follow ups...pictures, preserving the dress, etc.
Fondly and with much appreciation,
Christy Huber (mother of the bride)
Omaha, Nebraska

Dear Mike,
Thank you so much for your help in planning my wedding. Any hesitation I had about the idea of having a wedding coordinator quickly dissipated when I saw your incredible organizational and negotiation skills! You really did succeed in meet your "no gaps" goal and it was so nice not having to worry about ANYTHING.
Thanks again. We couldn't have done it without you!
Sincerely,
Jeremey and Susan Harris Meyers (groom and bride)
Los Angeles, California

Dear Michael,
Thank you doesn't seem like enough--I feel like I should be shouting "Hosannas!" to the heavens! Lisa's wedding was just perfect. I certainly don't know how I could have accomplished it without your help--especially from Connecticut!
Everything seemed to flow so smoothly the last week--the "panic" week. And beginning with Friday our timetable went like clockwork. The wedding party and family all knew what to expect, where to be and at what time. And lo and behold on Saturday, it was perfection. A beautiful bride in an exquisite gown and a very happy set of parents. Bob and I were able to savor each moment of Lisa's wedding--the greatest gift of all---thanks to you!
Our deepest thanks for helping us to make this day so perfect.
Sincerely,
Bob and Terri Duncan (parents of the bride)
Leawood, Kansas

Dear Mike,
Having just attended the most beautiful wedding and then to be fortunate enough for it to be our own son's was a real thrill. Being the parents of the groom, we did not play a major role in the arrangements of the wedding of Diana and Brian. However, seeing you in motion and witnessing the end results was breath-taking.
Your true concern, talent and professional manner was outstanding. To see how you transformed the church into a picturesque dream was unbelievable. the efficiency of your staff in taking care of each person in the wedding party, helping with advice and directions was very reassuring.
As an out-of-state party and having attended many large weddings may I just say I wish for your talent in Houston. It is so refreshing to see a job well done and in such a professional manner.
May you and your family have many years of successful business and many beautiful weddings in the years to come.
Sincerely,
Dr.and Mrs. Hulan Montbrough (parents of the groom)
Houston, Texas

Dear Mike and staff,
Words can never express my joy and happiness in the celebration of Julie and Jeff's wedding. It is only because of all of you and your expert handling of the many details that I was able to relax and really enjoy every minute of the day. You made us al feel that everything was under control and so we really left it in your capable hands and enjoyed ourselves.
The flowers were gorgeous and set such a beautiful stage for the ceremony and the reception. Many people commented on how gay and festive it was.
Our sincerest thanks to all of you and may God bless each of you for your warmth and personal attention that you gave the Simon and Anderson families.
Sincerely,
Mary Alice Simon (mother of the bride)

Dear Mike,
Just a week ago we were winding down after Leigh Ann's wedding. We have had these days to think about the wonderful occasion and now have photos to enjoy.
You and your staff were wonderful in guiding us through the decision making process as well as the actual rehearsal, wedding ceremony and reception. I cannot imagine getting through these events without your skillful guidance.
We have had many comments and notes about the beauty of the events. I feel they were sincere compliments that should have all come to you!
Leigh and I enjoyed so much working with you and are indeed proud of the gowns, flowers, stationary and most every detail. Thank you from Harry, Leigh Ann and me.
Ann Sulzberger (mother of the bride)

Dearest Mike,
I know this thank you note is late but we have been waiting for this certain picture to arrive. The picture I have enclosed reveals the emotions Matt and I were feeling that special moment. The moment was enhanced by your friendship, patience, and unlimited amount of subtle elegance. Every detail of the wedding and reception took our breath away. I just gasped when I first saw the church and then the ballroom. You knew exactly what we wanted.
Thank you always,
Lisa Brengarth Waterman (bride)
Boonville, Missouri

Dear Mike,
"Thank you" seems hardly sufficient to convey my gratitude for making my wedding perfect. Everything was beautiful: the flowers, the church and the reception.
From my very first visit, to my walk down the aisle, everything was taken care of professionally with an intense personal interest. My special day was as important to you as it was to me. You kept me calm and worry free every step of the way.
Thank you for making our wedding a work of art. Thank you for a beautiful day and beautiful memories.
Sincerely,
Dr. Beth Bartlet Harwell (bride)
Columbia, Missouri

Dear Mike,
This is a very late but very necessary thank you. We want to let you know how much we appreciate all of your hard work in planning our wedding. We hope you know that it paid off....people are still talking about it, but more importantly, it was the most amazing day of our lives. We can't imagine it being any more perfect. You are AWESOME! Thanks for everything Mike. We'll be sure to send some pictures soon.
Warmest regards,
