Hi Austin:
I just wanted to let you know what a fabulous time Dana and I had with you on Saturday. Everyone at the wineries was really nice and you really made us feel comfortable and welcome. We ended up going to Logos and of course Dana bought a ton of books which we then had to carry back to the car!
Thanks again for a wonderful day--hopefully I can bring some friends down with me next time and we'll do the rounds again!

Hi Austin and Dave,,
I want to thank you for the professional and very personable service you've provided for the weddings at Pacific Oaks Vineyard this past year. You have not missed a step in giving absolutely perfect service. With our daughter's wedding in May you went above and beyond to meet all the guests needs - thanks so much.
We look forward to working with you a very long time; Santa Cruz needed Santa Cruz Experience!
Best,
Judy Thibodeau

Hi Austin,
Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful service you gave us for Cassie and Ronny's wedding. I think we were a bit disorganized, but you made it happen anyways!
Thanks Again,

Hi Dave and Austin,
Thanks for the shuttle this last weekend! It really helped out with our wedding. I went ahead and posted a review for your business on Yelp.com. Hope this helps you out:
We hired The Santa Cruz Experience to shuttle wedding guests from the hotel to the house where we were holding our wedding this weekend. There was very little street parking at the house so we needed a van to move people. Austin assisted my mom with the reservations and Dave drove the van on the day of our wedding. They did a great job! Dave was on time, the van was very clean. He was professional and quick during the trips. Everyone got to the wedding!
Cheers!

I just want you to know we ALL loved our day with you. You were (or looked like you were) chilled out and became part of our little group. I have to say, the lunch display was awesome and you chose some GREAT cheeses and food > THANK YOU FOR A TERRIFIC DAY!!!!!!!!!!! I loved it when Mario said it was everything he expected!!
Have a good week-end and I hope to bring more of my friends out to see you and drink some more of that goooood California wine!!!

We want to thank you both for the professional service we received from The Santa Cruz Experience. From the day of our initial contact with Austin, through the day of our wedding event shuttle with Dave, you two made our Santa Cruz Experience the smoothest "ride" of our event. We thank you for providing on time, polite and friendly service to our wedding guests. And a bonus is the sparkling clean and tidy shuttle van you transported us and our guests in. We know that your flawless service helped make our daughter's wedding in Aptos a special day.
Sincerely,
Marta and Doug Arensberg

Hope you're doing well. I was with the 25 or so girls that went on the wine tour on the 29th that my roommate Kerri Tausheck organized. Just wanted to let you know that it was a very memorable experience for all of us. We will definitely be contacting you in the future to do it again. Here's a few pictures I took. Enjoy!
Thanks again!

It was no problem at all. I really appreciated all that you did. It made my life easier. :-) It was really great to finally meet you. I'm sure that the girls would be all for going out again sometime. I know I'm always up for good wine and good company and the majority of my family is as well.
As for the wedding, it went really well. I was pleasantly surprised with the way everything turned out. Luke and Lisa were really happy, which made me happy.
I hope all is well!

What a great time! What a super tour! And of course, what a fabulous host! You went above and beyond customer service as well as being knowledgeable and informative...not to mention you put up with us with good humor all day!
Kudos to you for the trip from mimosas to farewells. I look forward to planning my own tour and spreading the word about your company to all my wino buddies. I think I may try for a late Spring or early Fall trip. I have to poll the wino's and try to coordinate schedules so I can put together a group. Can you send me any info on group rates and the different vehicles you offer. Say only 2 couples wanted to go, a van would be a little over kill. I just want to have as much info to pitch to the wino's as possible.
Thanks for such a great time!

I wanted to drop you a email to thank you for making sure that my sister's bachelorette party was such a success today. I was more than impressed with the entire day. The wineries you chose were great and the restaurant was excellent. I couldn't have asked for a better day for my sister. I also wanted to thank you for making sure that my daughter was well taken care of as well. Thank you again and I will definitely be referring your company to anyone else that is interested in a wine trip.
Cheers,
Paula

I can not express to you how much fun Jenee and I had with you on our tour. We have recommended you to all of our friends. By the way, Jenee and I have chuckled numerous times about the "sing-a-long." We both think that you should add this feature to your website (smile).
You are a good man Austin and both Jenee and I enjoyed getting to know you. We hope that we can count on hooking up with you should we find ourselves in your part of the country again. You are welcome to visit us in Houston (Katy) as well.
Take care of yourself my friend.
Thank you again for making our 10 year anniversary one for the ages!
