Testimonials

 

Monique,
 
Many people have asked us if anything has changed since being married.  We still go for walks at night and hold hands.  We still play music when doing housework and dance. We still look at each other in a crowd and wink and we still go to bed at night best friends and very much in love.  Nothing has changed in the last four years, not even since being married.  But something does feel different.  There is a certain feeling of "special" that comes with being married.  A feeling like no one before, and no one after, will ever feel the same way as we do. It feels amazing.  Thank you so much for helping us feel this way today, tomorrow and forever!
 
Take Care,
Heather & Mike

Dear Monique, 

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated all the guidance you gave me during the planning of my wedding and for the beautiful ceremony you performed for us. The day couldn’t have gone any better! 

From the first time I called you, which I believe was in July for my October wedding, you kept us on track and informed of everything that both we had to do, and what you were doing for the wedding. I am sure I would have forgotten or not even thought of many things if it wasn’t for you. You are a fountain of knowledge when it comes to planning a wedding! The wedding would have never happened without your help. 

Even though we decided to have a non-religious ceremony, you still were able to create a ceremony full of meaning and joy, which I am sure, is no easy task. It was wonderful that you sat down with us to get to know us in order to create a beautiful and personalized ceremony. We loved how you worked in the similarities of how we met and how Jared’s parents met. Everyone was especially touched in the way you included our son in the ceremony. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the church! Every person I talked to after the ceremony commented on how beautifully unique and personal the ceremony was and that they had never heard a ceremony like it before.

The silk flower arrangements you created for my wedding party were perfect. It’s hard to believe that you created them to be exactly what I wanted from a few rough sketches and some colours ripped out of bridal magazines! I am proud to see them displayed on your web page.

Both the music man and jeweler you recommended both worked out great. They too gave us truly personalized service.

I am sure that there are probably many things I have forgotten to mention, which is a good reason I had you to keep me on track! From both Jared and myself I would once again like to thank you for everything you did for us.

 Dear Monique,

Thank you so very much for making our day a very special one.  Your patience and expertise shone through to create a beautiful and personal ceremony, which exceeded our expectations more than you can know.  We can't thank you enough.  You have a gift.  Thanks again.  Love, Diana & Jeff Wood.

P.S.  Oh yeah!  We can't wait to show you all the pictures, especially the "out takes". Aug. 2000  

 

Dear Proud Couple,

This letter expresses our gratitude for the impressive service provided by Monique Graboski from the day we first called her to the weeks following our marriage.  We would also like to let you know why you should use her as your marriage commissioner.

When we had seen the ad for Lady Commissioner, we wanted to make sure that Monique was the right person to marry us.  We decided to make the call.  She has a very busy schedule, but she managed to promptly contact us when she had the chance.  She didn't ask for a meeting right away, but she gave us a list of things we had to go over first.  We weren't even sure exactly where we wanted to get married.  We had all the right information to get us started.  This way our anxiousness was put aside and we could calmly get our preparations straight.

Monique then wanted to meet us.  She made sure that we were ready to get married.  In all of our excitement she wanted to make sure that we were thinking rationally.  She had prepared a binder containing various types of ceremonies.  Over a few days working together, we decided on a ceremony that would be beautiful and unique to us.  Monique even had a collection of music from which she chose a piece that worked well for us.

On the day of our marriage, Monique was recovering from food - poisoning from the previous night.  She thought she would have to send someone else to marry us, but she wanted to be there.  We are forever grateful for this.  Her eyes sparkled as she read the most precious words we would ever hear in our entire lives.

To Monique, this isn't work.  She is enlightened by this incredible energy two people have as they get married.  She's a positive and patient individual who only wants the best for her engaged couples. And she gives her best. We know that she will do the same for you.  If you're planning on getting married, don't pass her by.  Get to know her and you'll find how special she is, just as we did.

    Congratulations and Good Luck!
