Good Patron

So, George rang this morning.

It was his 40th on Saturday which we all celebrated over chocolate cake and wine as we finished setting up his big party on Friday night.

“How did it go?” I said.

He paused.

I hate that.

“Jonny ” he said at last “I honestly can’t think of a better evening in my entire life!”

Wow!

“When I opened the curtains everyone just gasped - it was perfect. Then we went in to dinner and they gasped again.   The yurt was absolute perfection, I can’t tell you how wonderful it was.  Then we went into the second tent and you’d done it again.  Everyone went silent for a few seconds and then the air was filled with oohs and aahs.  It was incredible.  Everyone will remember it for a very long time and I bless the day I found your website !”

It wasn’t always completely straightforward - these things never can be.  40th birthdays are emotional events.  But it was really nice to see the benefit of an extremely close collaboration and a lot of detailed planning.

George was a good client, not because he paid us and told us to get on with it.  Quite the opposite - because he got involved, because he conjured up in his head an idea of how the evening might go and because he held onto his vision for a ‘Perfect 40th’.

That makes him not just a good client but a patron.  So, good for you George! and happy 40th.

As for us - well - in those immortal words; ‘we love it when a plan comes together!’
