1 . A couple months before my wedding, I decided to hire a day of coordinator (协调员) to help ____ things at the venue (举办场地). I am a planner with a type A personality, who can do anything just to achieve my vision perfectly. So the thought of giving someone else ____ over my special day that I had planned for an entire year was ____.

After some googling, I ____ A Touch of Grace and had a phone meeting with Amanda for the Wrap Up Service. Just speaking with her for the initial call ____ many of my worries. She was ____ to talk to, professional, ____, and sounded like she knew her stuff. I had spoken to a couple other coordinators ____ to her and none of them ____ her. Not once did she make me feel like I didn’t know anything or force any ____ on me.

In the last weeks before the wedding, I met with Amanda ____ a couple of times, talked on the phone a couple of times, and communicated regularly via email. She was great at looking at all of my plans and adding in her ____ for things I didn’t think of. I was also able to meet up with her and handed her some ____ so that she could set up for me at the venue. Not only did they set up, after the dancing time on the ____ day, Amanda and her team also sorted everything out. By the time the wedding ended, most of our stuff had been ____, ready to be taken away.

I had a lot ____ for my wedding day and Amanda really helped make sure everything went ____. Amanda was also good at turning around people who ____ our table to chat with us. She made sure that we were able to ____ during our assigned time without interruption, in case I kept talking and not eating.

My thanks to Amanda are truly beyond words. She was so amazing that I’m extremely glad she was the one helping me make my ____ come true on my wedding day.
