Dear Tara:
Buena sera and greetings from Rome!
Tara, we're just still on such a high from the wedding. You and your staff did such a spectacular job and I can't thank you enough. It went seemlessly under your direction and so many guests came up to me with compliments on the venue. Go team Drake! Again, thank you for your ace management and lovely staff for making it such a memorable night.
All best, Jen
Dear Joey,
Joe and I are catching our breath after a very busy but fabulous year for us. It was fantastic working with you throughout our wedding planning and we wanted to send a note of thanks.
Our wedding reception truly was a dream. We loved working with you and can't express enough how wonderful the evening was for us and our guests. We were thrilled The Drake could accommodate our special requests and that you specifically helped to make all those little but meaningful details happen. And my mother and I can be particular! But we had so much fun! Thanks especially for that.
It was a beautiful event and The Drake will always be a special place for us.
Thank you again, and best wishes!
Beth and Joe
Dear Joey,
Shamus and I wanted to extend our deepest, most sincere thanks for all your hard work and attention to detail that helped to make our wedding the most indescribably wonderful, magical evening we could have ever dreamed possible.
The service, food and room were impeccable and everything about the evening was the epitome of elegance and class. You made every dream I have ever had about my wedding come true, and for that I will be forever grateful to you and your staff.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the professionalism, knowledge and patience that you showed us over the past six months. It was our great pleasure to have you be a part of our wedding.
I wish we could do it all over again (Shamus said "No way!"). You are amazing!!
Danielle and Shamus

Joey Chiappetta did an outstanding job planning what turned out to be an incredible evening. I live in San Francisco so he worked closely with my sister. She shares my regard for Joey's professionalism and attention to detail. Please make sure he gets recognized for this.

Captain Mike is one truly remarkable individual. I spoke with him for a while and understand he has been with the Drake for >40 years. He was so attentive, kind and he didn't miss a beat (e.g, getting emergency glasses of water to the bride, handling the cake, the decor, etc). He was totally reliable and a pleasure to work with. He is what you think of when you think of the grandeur of the Drake. He is a true professional who takes pride in what he does. I hope he gets the recognition he deserves!
Joey-
Where do I start? You are such an amazing person! Thank you for all of your help in planning our wedding. We could not have had such a wonderful day without all of your ideas, assistance, attention to detail and great skill. We had the most perfect wedding day and it all comes back to you. Not only were you so helpful with all of the planning, but you were a great sounding board. You truly became a good friend and I hope we stay in touch.
Many thanks,
Meg and Don
