Dear Claudia and Marcia,

We originally thought that the verses would be the finishing touch needed for our affair, but the wonderful poetry you composed, personalizing each and every one for that perfect presentation, together with the gifts you created to give each candle-lighter, helped make and distinguish the affair as something very, very special. Your involvement made this a truly unforgettable party.
Speaking for the three of us, we all say THANK YOU to our new friends!
With great appreciation,

Dear Claudia and Marcia,

Just a note to thank you for the spectacular gift you created for my father. The poem itself was wonderful: we read it in front of over 100 people amidst a roast, and it was a major hit. I couldn’t picture what you meant when you said 3-D graphics….the result is truly amazing. My dad had tears in his eyes (not an everyday occurrence,)
Thank you so much.

Dear Claudia and Marcia,

Clay and I were thrilled with his birthday poem and the artwork. We will cherish it! We show it to everyone who visits us and there have been very favorable comments. You’ll probably be receiving some phone calls…..
Again, many thanks.

Dear Claudia and Marcia,

The poem for Lori’s wedding shower was a huge hit. I love your wit, style and of course, the end product. I can’t wait for the next occasion. Looking forward to working with you, again.
Thank you,

Hi girls,
We took your advice for Saturday morning and displayed the framed invitation on an easel next to the yarmulkes. Later, at the reception, we had it next to the place card table. Instead of spending money on flowers, we had this fabulous “artwork” which told everyone who and what our Brittany was all about.
Very personal. And it paid for itself. What could be bad?
You were right. It’s a terrific deal.
The comments we received made it even more special.

Thank you so much for all you do to help out us Moms that have so much on our plate. I’d be a wreck without you.

Having been in the special events business for the last 25 years, I have come across numerous ideas and services for enhancing the different types of special events and Mitzvahs we do.

We participated in many Mitzvah Showcases over the years as a full service special events production company. When my husband and I were planning our son Tory’s Bar Mitzvah, we had access to the latest technical, creative, lighting, entertainment etc., but when we met Claudia and Marcia from It Could be Verse, at one of those showcases, I was so impressed, that I immediately hired them for our candle lighting poems.

With all the details, even a seasoned event planning pro has to contend with in planning your own special, a one of a kind mitzvah, writing personal, witty, heartfelt prose or poems for family members and friends you want to include in sharing the candle lighting ceremony, can be at the very least, overwhelming, intimidating and time consuming.

All it took was one meeting at our home with Claudia and Marcia, then proof reading what they sent us, and I felt we had made the right choice. Their poems were funny, personal and made us laugh and cry at the same time, capturing each of the guests that were there and the ones we remembered. Each guest/couple received their poem framed in a custom themed frame as a memory and a token of our love.

Dear Claudia and Marcia,

What can I say? We laughed and cried at the same time- the poems were perfect. Everyone enjoyed them so much.
Bravo!

Dear Claudia and Marcia,

Just wanted to thank you for the terrific poems for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah.
The candle lighting ceremony was great. I got so many compliments on the poems (and as much as I wanted to take credit for them) – I told everyone about you and your service.
Some brought chuckles and some brought tears, but they were truly appreciated by all. Thank you so much again, and I’ll be in touch for my son’s Bar Mitzvah.

Claudia and Marcia,

I don’t even know where to begin to thank you for everything. The puzzle ceremony was funny and moving. I found it very emotional. Emy was so worried she couldn’t do a “candle lighting” because of the restrictions in our Temple not allowing them on Saturday afternoons. You guys saved the day and my sanity!
I highly recommend the puzzle to everyone. It’s a fabulous idea. It goes without saying the poems were great and Emy has her framed invitation hanging in her room already.
You guys are remarkable! Thank you seems inadequate.

Dear Claudia and Marcia,

For years we had our wedding invitation just sitting in a drawer. When we saw what you could do with it, we decided to give it a whirl. We LOVE it! Thanks for “immortalizing” us!

OMG! The puzzle was the greatest. Everyone laughed and had a great time.
What a terrific idea. All of Remy’s friends’ parents will be calling, rest assured.
Thanks for making our party so unique and memorable.

Dear Claudia and Marcia,

From our first conversation, I knew it would be great fun working with you on our poems. It felt like we were old friends getting together to “rag” on our family!
We loved it and we loved the poems.
Many thanks for a job well done!

Hi ladies,

It came!!! I absolutely love it! It is really amazing! I can’t wait to give it to him (probably tomorrow night). Many many thanks. And I have no doubt I will be in touch with you to have you do others as gifts!
(and then 2 days later this arrived……)

Jeremy was thrilled with the framed invitation — and really blown away by the 3D effect!!!
