Dear Hugh:

My family and I want to express our heartfelt thanks to Pura Vida USA for helping to make my daughter's wedding last Sunday such a success. We had looked at many venues nearer Atlanta, in the Dahlonega area, and further north before we chose your facility as the wedding site. Pura Vida USA provided the combination of elegance, intimacy, and warmth that we wanted for the occasion, to say nothing of the lovely view from your front lawn. Of course, one of the most important aspects of any wedding is the food, and having enjoyed Kelly Finucan's marvelous, meals at Renee's Café for many years; we knew that the food would be the star attraction. And, indeed, it was.

First of all, the food was high art - breathtaking! Kelly's buffet had gorgeous flower arrangement and her presentation was an extension of the flowers - indescribably complex, colorful, full of variety, and a delight for the eyes. But the true test was in the eating. Guests raved. I kept hearing comments like, "I've never seen or eaten better food in my life," and "I have been on many cruises and this is as good IF NOT BETTER than any food I have ever had on a cruise," and "Gourmet, gourmet, gourmet!" They are still raving. You can imagine how gratified we have been to hear such accolades.

I want to thank you, personally, Hugh, for pitching in to help out when our music man was detained. You were wonderful. In all you and Kelly did, and in the way you did it, it is clear that you are truly customer-oriented. With all the angst that the bride-to-be and her mother go through prior to a wedding, it is a blessing for them to be able to count on the total support of the staff at the wedding venue. Please thank Kelly, Barbara, Rebecca, Kim, and the entire staff for playing a HUGE part in making this wedding wonderful and providing our family with a lovely lifetime memory.

Sincerely,

Julie Winslett
Dahlonega, GA
