.I feel the wedding was very successful and the feed back from the bride, groom , family and friends was postive .  People had only glowing things to say about the wedding .  I told my daughter that I felt like Tracy saw our vision and was doing her best to see it to completion.   She was often ahead and worked at keeping us on track so that everything was done in a timely manner .   I found I was often distracted by the many offerings and needed help to narrow down the possibilities .   I recommend using  a wedding planner because I was able to enjoy the entire wedding and not be worried about completing the details and getting everyone in place for the ceremony and reception .  Tracy handled an awkward guest situation with class and I was not aware of the problem until after the wedding .  I so appreciate her professionalism and the fact that I did not have to deal with anything unpleasant .  Good  job  ,Tracy  !!!  I  wanted to have the ceremony and reception somewhere that you drove to one place and and had sufficient  locations to hold the ceremony and reception and had convenient and safe  parking . Since the grandparents of the bride were elderly  I needed things to be as flat as possible , no steps  .  Tracy suggested the Witte and when we looked at the venue it was very nice and had a beautiful iron gate we could enter thru ,( it rained so we were not able to go that way due to the water , guess Tracy cannot control the weather ).  The grounds were beautiful and had lighting .  I must say the Witte staff was very helpful .  I was the last to leave the venue except for the staff and I cannot tell you how helpful everyone was , offering to help load up gifts and decorations , checking to see if we left anything behind  .  I was able to enjoy seeing friends and family who came to see my only daughter get married .  I was pleased to see how happy she was with her wedding .
