Kind words · Wedding celebration

“From the food and service to the calm confidence behind every detail, Les and Marty let us spend the day simply being parents.”

Dear Les and Marty,

Six years ago, in the middle of COVID, you gave our older daughter a beautiful wedding under circumstances that seemed impossible. We walked away saying that if we were ever fortunate enough to celebrate another wedding, there was no question who we would call.

This time reminded us why.

From the first meeting, you gave us something every parent hopes for: peace of mind. We knew we could trust you completely. You thought of details before we did, solved problems quietly, and guided both families with kindness, humor, and incredible professionalism. More than once we joked that you weren’t caterers—you were magicians and family therapists.

The wedding was everything we hoped it would be. Every part of it—from the badeken to the stations to the reception—flowed beautifully. The food was delicious, the presentation was stunning, and your staff made every guest feel welcome and cared for.

What impressed us most, though, was the way you made everyone feel. You made our daughter feel like a queen. You made our family feel proud. You brought two families together in a way that felt easy and joyful, and you let us spend the day simply being parents instead of worrying about logistics.

People are still calling and asking, “Who did your affair?” We have happily given out your names over and over again. Everyone is talking about the food, the service, and the warmth that seemed to be part of everything you did.

Thank you for your talent, your guidance, your patience, and the care you put into every detail. We will always be grateful—not only for the beautiful wedding you created, but for the calm confidence you gave us from the day we met until the last guest went home.

May we share many simchas together!!

Warmly, Ellen and Peter Tilem
