It couldn't have been more perfect. It pulled our initial theme together. We wish we could have thanked you in person. It was the ICEing on the cake." Michelle and John Torres "Dear Max and Jeanne, We wanted to express our sincere thanks to you both. We were very luck to have discovered your business and you talents. Customer Service is very important to me and you are the epitome of just that. Even though you are located in Zion, you were more than willing to go out of your way to travel to Milwaukee on at least 4 occasions to meet with me, the florist, and the reception hall. You were very thorough and it paid off on our wedding day. When we both walked into Tripoli and saw your sculptures we were just elated. They were beautiful, perfect and just outstanding. Our guests also were pleasantly taken aback by their beauty. Most could not believe they were ice. In fact, after the wedding most of the guests were still bragging about the sculptures and anyone I showed pictures to thought they were so elegant and awesome. The only regrets we have is that our event has come to an end. We just wanted you to know that you are very professional and a joy to work with. You have a wonderful talent and we want to thank you again and again for making our wedding day so special. Our best regards." Risa and Bruce Bride and Groom "Max and Jeanne, How can we thank you more! You two made our wedding day as special as can be! Thank you so much. I will always remember you two!
