Hi William,
Here's hoping this note finds you well.
My family had my first daughter's event for 200 people at Normandy Farm in October 2008. We were more than happy about how the event went in every way, but one of the stand outs in our mind was the way Andrew DiPasquale worked with us and was able to capture exactly what my daughter wanted, coupled with what made the rest of the family happy visually. Trust that if you knew us you would know that this isn't the easiest task in the world since we all tend to be very particular!
My second daughter's event is this coming May. We went through a very thorough search for alternate locations to hold it, not because we weren't happy with Normandy, but because we wanted to ensure my second daughter felt like it was a unique event for her instead of a replay of her older sister's day. In the end we narrowed it down to a couple of locations but due to the convenience and effort that Andrew made with us the first time around we ended up signing the contract with Normandy again. When the other locations asked us why we chose Normandy, I cited Andrew as a big part of that reason.
Fast forward to the planning for the 2nd event slated for this coming May, and I have to tell you that despite my younger daughter's cynicism that we'd be able to have an event she could call her own and my own anxiety about it, Andrew really came through for us and came up with totally original ideas that we loved as much as the first event. I just want you to know that Andrew does an amazing job of listening to what families are looking for, and is able to transform all of that random carrying on into something that really captures the essence of what they couldn't even really articulate well to begin with!
It's truly an art and our entire family wanted to thank you for having someone as talented as Andrew on your team.
Thanks so much,
Maxine Mann

Hi Andrew & Kerry,
I am back at work and finally recuperated after the most fantastic weekend of my life. I just wanted to thank you again for the incredible flowers. I was blown away by how gorgeous everything was. The centerpieces were stunning, the cake was stunning, EVERYTHING was just stunning. I loved the bouquets and could not get over the beautiful chuppah. Everything was just perfect and exactly what I hoped it would be. You are truly artists, and were always so friendly and helpful throughout this whole process. I really appreciate all your hard work. It was a pleasure working with you.
Thanks so much again!
When I get professional pictures back I'll be sure to send! :)
Best,
Jamie

Dear Andrew, Patrice, Matt & Lisa:
We cannot thank you enough for making our daughter's wedding absolutely fabulous. All of you have more than exceeded our expectations! From the time we chose Normandy Farm as our venue we had no stress. Your attention to the details was remarkable. I would like to also acknowledge the entire staff at the hotel, from the front desk to housekeeping, everyone was polite, friendly and eager to assist at any given time over the weekend.
We would also like to extend a very SPECIAL "Thank You" to Andrew - I don't know how you did it, but hte flowers were AMAZING! You must have been looking through our daughter's eyes, because the flower arrangements you created were exactly what she wanted. And her bouquet...well, I cannot put into words how beautiful it was. I am still amazed how you were able to interpret her ideas from our first meeting and make everything perfect. I would recommend to anyone who chooses Normandy Farm as their wedding venue to meet with Andrew before going to another florist.
All of our guests commented that it was one of the most beautiful and elegant weddings they had attended. The dinner plate presentation looked like a picture from a magazine and quality and taste were top-notch. Matt and Lisa did a suberb job overseeing the event and making our daughter feel like a princess for a day. Karen's service through the evening was praised by several of our guests and Andy kept everyone happy at the Martini luge!
Again, we want to extend our sincere gratitude and thanks to all for making Rachele and Kevin's wedding so beautiful and memorable. We can't wait for our younger daughter to get engaged - we wouldn't even consider another venue!
Sincerely,
Mr. & Mrs. Crooks

Dear Andrew:
I did not get the opportunity to thank you for the lovely flowers I carried on our wedding day. I was supposed to be in the Washington Room when they were dropped off, but the rain put a slight delay on my plans - and by the time I got there, the flowers were waiting for me.
They were gorgeous... they brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful than what you and your staff created. I will remember their fragrance and connect it with the perfect day.
Also, the various centerpieces placed in the cocktail room as well as on the reception tables were perfect. Many people remarked how beautiful they were. All I can say is that I'm so thankful we used your services. After the evening, they went home with many very happy people (I would have liked to have gotten one for a keepsake but they disappeared quickly. :-)
Thank you so much for making our wedding and reception such a beautiful event. I wish you great success with your business in the years to come.
Sincerely,
Nelson & Donna Rivera

Dear Andrew,
The room looked SPECTACULAR!!!!
Lauren and I are very grateful to you for making the day so special. All the guests commented on your colors and arrangements. "Who did the flowers ?" was the question of the night.
Hope we got you some future business.
Thank you so much!
Love, Mary Lou and Lauren.

Dear Andrew,
I cannot thank you enough for everything you did to ensure my "vision" for the wedding came true! I expected the flowers to be beautiful, but from the church, to the reception, to the bouquets, I was completely BLOWN AWAY! I only wish someone had a video camera so I could see my face when I first walked into the ballroom!
You took all my ideas and created exactly what I had imagined - even though I couldn't always explain what my "vision" was. Not only were the flowers above and beyond anything I expected, you were truly a pleasure to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed our meetings. You really have such a talent!
Thank you again for all of your amazing work (and especially for creating tiffany colored orchids for me!!)

Dear Andrew,
The floral designs you and your department did for the Baker-Berry wedding on October 3rd were outstanding and exquisite. Your blending of the flowers in fall colors created a warm, inviting atmosphere. We had nothing but positive comments about the reception and so many made special comments about the beautiful flowers. As I show pictures to the neighbors and friends, I still get many remarks about the flowers. You deserve all of the credit!! Thanks so much for your part in making Adam and Rebekah's wedding and reception memorable events for them
Sincerely,
Carolyn Baker
