"Dear Lydia,
Thank you so much for our beautiful wedding map - you took our original ideas and then just created and expanded them perfectly. So perfectly in fact that we then ordered numerous copies of our wedding map through you ...... then our wedding invitations ... then our Order of Ceremony leaflets .... and then our Thank You cards .... and then, as an added bonus, some canvas bags usings the designs you created on our wedding map; just to bring it all full circle!

Thoughtful, creative, attentive, punctual: there aren't sufficient adjectives to do you justice. Our wedding would not have been the same without your input. The compliments regarding your map/inviation/order of ceremony etc. were innumerable.
Thank you, thank you, thank you again so very much.
With best wishes,
Elizabeth and Philip"
