Dear Elena and Tony,
Thank you both so much for all of your assistance and patience throughout an incredibly busy year of wedding preparations. With the professionalism, courtesy and understanding you both displayed so regularly, it's no wonder that Sala San Marco has become the standard by which all other reception halls in Ottawa are measured. The attention to detail paid by each of you as well as every one of your staff (especially Habib) was truly exceptional and did much to put our minds at ease during a very stressful time.
In addition, your willingness and determination to work hand in hand with our decorator (Eugenia of Details Ottawa) paid off in a big way as our guests could not stop commenting on how beautiful the hall was. We can only hope that other couples will be able to experience the same exceptional quality of service that we did.
Kind regards and best wishes,
Elvira & Steve
Famiglia Sala
