Hi Patricia! I just wanted to send you a very big THANK YOU!!! We loved our sunrise wedding on Sanibel Island!!! It was perfect! You made things so easy for us too! Keith was away in Iraq and I pretty much had to handle things on my own from NJ - but you did all the work! You booked the photographer, ordered my flowers, made an appointment for me to have my hair and make-up done, and you married us! We are very thrilled with how it all turned out, and I have been raving about you to everyone I know! Thank you again. Kind regards, Jade & Keith Weiss

Patricia, Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful wedding. I cannot say enough about the entire event. My mom said that it was one of the best days of her life - I know it was mine. Everyone there that evening still can't believe what a wonderful, spiritual, and moving moment it was. The ceremony was more than I ever expected. Thank you for giving me 110% percent of your time and professionalism. You made me feel like I was your only bride when I know you've done thousands of weddings. I got the pictures Saturday and they're all too good to pick from. Frank did a fabulous job. We're having our reception this Saturday - around 200 guests. Thanks again for everything you did. Dean and I are so happy to be married, and we're so happy that we got married on the island. We've waited a long time for our special day, and we're so grateful to you for helping it become a great memory. Sincerely, Jill

Dear Patricia I just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding so completely and utterly perfect. The occasion was everything we had hoped for and so much more. To be honest words have failed me to describe to friends the emotions that I felt on that special evening but suffice it to say that it was magical and so intimate. Thank you for all you did to make it so perfect for us. We loved Frank and his photos were fabulous - I have today been out and bought a beautiful album for them to go in and we are busy e-mailing friends with the pictures. Everyone thinks we look so happy - and we were - and still are! I am sure you do not need me to say this but if you ever need a recommendation, please do not hesitate to contact me - I will be suggesting your splendid services to anyone who might need them. Thank you again and I do hope that perhaps our paths may cross again in the future. We will be back on again Sanibel on 2nd January. In the meantime, we do both wish you all the very best and I hope you get to see your husband again soon. Kindest regards Ali If you’re out of town and want to get married on Sanibel or Captiva, my husband and I highly recommend using Patricia Slater’s Weddings by the Sea. Here’s why: Trying to get married from long distance is
fraught with problems. I needed someone who was familiar with the restaurants,
the beaches for the ceremony, where to get my hair done, how to get my guests
from the airport to their hotels, etc. A million things I could never have
figured out. Once Pat and I spoke, there was no doubt I’d found the right
person. She was well-versed with all the nuances of getting married on the
beach, including the exact time the sun would set on our day! Throughout the whole process of arranging the wedding for us, she was highly professional, efficient, and knew all the details of what would make our day perfect. One of the most amazing things was how well connected and respected she is on the islands. Any question or request I had, she just picked up the phone to call her contact, and she had an answer. She is a customer service expert. For example, the night before the wedding, I remembered that I needed to have my fiancé’s shirt pressed. Normally, this would have meant at least an hour trip off-island for me. Instead she suggested that I leave the shirt with her since she know a woman who could do this for me. Pat dropped the shirt off for me, and the next day delivered it back to us, perfectly pressed. This was above and beyond what her job was, and she did it with a smile. The day of the wedding, there are so many things that need to be handled, and she managed them all and more. Her attention to detail astounded me, and she seemed to anticipate my every need. Her recommendations on who to use for the photographer, the flowers, and the wedding site itself were excellent. She even managed to order up the most perfect sunset imaginable. But the best part for us was having Pat conduct the ceremony. She was warm and embracing and we felt like we were being married by a member of our family. Every one of my guests commented to me on how wonderful she was, and how lucky I was to have found her. I couldn’t agree more. After the wedding was over, I was so ecstatic
with how it all turned out, I told Pat two things. 1) I would have paid her ten
times what she charged for the incredible service she provided, and 2) I am
available as a reference at anytime. That’s how good she is.
"Your assistance in helping us
plan everything from Cleveland made it so easy! Everything you
suggested was perfect - delicious and beautifully decorated cake,
gorgeous flowers and a professional and creative photographer. But
most of all, the sincerity with which you performed the ceremony
made our wedding the perfect beginning to a long and wonderful life
together."
"It takes a very special person to
marry people the way you do . . We really needed that extra special
touch, and that is what you gave us. It was everything we dreamed it
would be."
"You made it so beautiful for us".
