We Created Monica Appreciation Day: 2009 for the wife of noted Lesbian novelist, playwright and producer: Cheril N. Clarke

May 25, 2009 by savvyplanners.com 

THIS was FUN! Cheril wanted to do something to show her appreciation for and love of  her wife Monica. So when Cheril called us she spoke with senior event coordinator, Marcinho.

Cheril wanted something different, romantic and memorable created for this special day.  She had considered a nice meal in the city (Philadelphia) and perhaps a nice hotel.   Marcinho kicked it around in his head for about ten minutes, made a few calls and came back with this outline for the ladies.

He called Cheril back to offer his ideas. “How about this?  Picture it!  You and Monica arrive at a secluded countryside inn on the banks of the Delaware river, on a hundred acres of lush gardens and pasture… just the two of you.  The tulips are in bloom all over the property!  Does that appeal to you? “Then walk the beautiful grounds.  Then you go to your suite in the Bridal Tower to freshen up after the long drive and come down for a five course, gourmet meal prepared by a highly acclaimed Chef de Cuisine.

Regular diners here included Luciano Pavarotti, Paul & Joanne Woodward and a huge list of others. “I’m seeing a gigantic round table with the most romantic, sumptuous Venetian tablescape for two,  in the garden, just the two of you. Throne chairs.

I’d like to echo the flowers that were used in your wedding and reception, have loads of candles on the table and throughout the garden.  Then about halfway through the meal, we’ll have a vocalist come out and surprise Monica and serenade her! What do you think? “You’ll pick her favorite songs and the singer will be accompanied by an instrumentalist.  Maybe a flute, keyboard or guitar? “

And the photographer can be there before you arrive in order to capture events from the moment you arrive until the end  of the meal?  I’d think you’d want to take some shots in the suite to remember it as well? And Then… off to the suite?  What do you think?” Well, the client mused “You just came up with all that in less than ten minutes?!  You’re making me more romantic than I ever thought I could be.”

Once Cheril approved each feature, we made the bookings, reservations and arrangements. It’s worth noting that, in the midst of creating this perfect getaway for Cheril and Monica, we were extremely excited coordinating a wedding week on Key West! Here are some of the nearly three hundred photographs taken on the day of Cheril’s gift to Monica! We thank the women for presenting us the challenge, seeking us out and making the call! Stay tuned for the photos!  Subsribe to our RSS up top to be alerted when they are published.
