“Exceeded My Expectations”
John and I met the end of August, 2016 at a potluck for football players, cheerleaders, coaches, and parents to kick off the football season. We had been coaches elsewhere, but this was our first year coaching at Bergen Tech. We talked a lot that night and I even called my mom afterwards to tell her about him. We reconnected a few weeks later after a football game and our first date was at the Cheesecake Factory. Over four years later in March, 2021 I was cooking dinner in our home when I turned around to see him on one knee.
John wanted us to get married at The Park Savoy, where he and his father had worked on the renovations. I went there for a tour and after meeting Sam Tillawi, the general manager, I wanted to get married there too. Sam made me feel comfortable instantly. He was knowledgeable and I knew Park Savoy would make everything stress-free. My coordinator, Johanna Matuk, was so responsive and helped me keep everything organized. The client portal also made making my seating chart and submitting final numbers fast and easy when things changed, which they always do. Big shoutout to my bridal attendant, Mary, who was helpful, attentive, and a pure joy to have around. Shoutout to Faith too, whose personality is what everyone in the service industry should strive for.
