TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN;
I am writing this letter of recommendation in regards to a most wonderful experience I had during the fall of 2004 with Mr. Jack Bragg and his origination “First Dream”. Before I go any further I would like to point out one thing and that is the difference between opinion and experience. Opinion is a judgment not necessarily based on fact, however experience is something some one has lived through and knows first hand. With that said I will keep my opinions to my self and share some of my experience with you on my two year search and four trips to the Ukraine in search of a bride.
When I started my search I used another company for all of my needs to find the right woman, including tours, translators, apartments, airport pick-up, personal introductions to the women, socials with the women, hotel reservations, etc. I was a loyal costumer to this company and spent a lot of money with them in several cities. In one instance I was planning to meet a woman from Russia in Kiev that I had met on their web sight. I had attempted to get their manager in Kiev to help me arrange for the travel of the woman. However he totally “dropped the ball” for no apparent reason after I had spoken to him on the telephone from the States as well as e-mailing him several times in an attempt to get the agency to help me coordinate her arrival. To make a long story short he just did not respond to my requests. So I took the matters into my own hands and did it myself. I made a reservation at the agency flat in Kiev and sent the girl the money for the plane ticket. She did not show up and kept the money. When I reported this to the Owner of an agency in Arizona and ask him to remove the girl, he wrote me an insulting letter and questioned me as to why I would do such a thing. He also informed me that his agency had a service for coordinating such meetings and if I had used his service I would still be in possession of my money and would have met the girl. In fact I did try to use his service and they proved to be incompetent, also I was never informed by his manager in Kiev of this service. When I spoke to his team in Arizona they told me they do that service within the Ukraine but not from Russia to the Ukraine. So in fact the owner of the company did not even know what his own policies were within his own company and insulted me for his own short comings. I did not blame him or his company for losing my money, I only ask that the girl be removed from the web sight. After spending a good sum of money (more than $10,000.00 the first year) with this company they refused to give me a price break on personal introductions at $40.00 a pop, and I bought at least 20-40 introductions per trip. I am a business owner and I would call this bad business and price gouging at it’s finest. Having enough of this behavior from this agency I decided to try something new. That is when I discovered First Dream agency.
On a different note I also attended several “Socials” hosted by the Arizona company. These in my experience were borderline humiliating for the women as they had a pick and chose environment for the men putting the women in a very un comfortable setting. I came to this conclusion myself having attended Socials and First Dream parties but after speaking to at least 5 women who had attended both “Socials” and First Dream parties, well I could see I was not the only one to reach this same conclusion. The ladies enjoy the First Dream parties a lot more and of coarse the men do too.
I have been on tour with Jack Bragg and his team of professionals who travel with him as well as those professionals he employees in the cities we visited. I have found him and his team to display outstanding knowledge and skill in the art of coordinating and executing a fine tour through the country of the Ukraine. It is a grass roots level tour with a touch of elegance. The quality of his work was outstanding and precise, always paying attention to detail. His knowledge of local customs and their use made the tour go smooth with no mistakes. He also possesses an accurate understanding of fellow agencies and their roll in the areas in which we traveled to.
Last but not least is Mr. Braggs disposition and attitude towards the crew and his custumers. This was one of Jack's best attributes as he was never moody and always had his wits about him. Well respected by the crew to the point that the crew wanted to perform well for him without hesitation. Jack’s integrity is without parallel. Any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me

Jack,
I had been meaning to write you a note thanking you for organizing the guided tour to Ukraine that I participated in for 3 weeks in September, 2004. I would recommend your service to anyone who is looking for a serious (and of course beautiful, feminine, intelligent, sensual ) woman in Ukraine or Russia. I enjoyed seeing the different cities and meeting the so many wonderful ladies at the parties. This is really a good way for any man to start out on his search as well for any experienced man to refine and make more effecient his search. The assistance of the people on your staff while in Ukraine was out standing and very helpful. I feel I have several new life time friends as a result of my participation.

Thanks for helping me to get started in pursuing my goal of meeting the type woman I have dreamed about. I am now comfortable to travel to Ukraine or Russia to meet women that I may become interested in through correspondence. As we have discussed, I am hoping to be able to travel with you again this coming spring. I can see that for most men that this is a wonderful opportunity to get a real education with the many different aspects of finding a good Russian bride. Although I have met several really fine potential candidates I feel it is best to meet many ladies so you have a better chance of making the best choice possible.

Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Steven

Hello,

I have made two successful trips to Ukraine using the services of Jack Bragg and FirstDream. The first trip was to be part of the Spring Kiev Group Tour in April 2001. I attended two parties (as Jack does not like to call them socials) during this trip that were un-believable. My trip was planned flawlessly and executed in an extremely short time. In a matter of six weeks Jack assisted me in making travel arrangements, getting a visa for Ukraine and helping me to meet several ladies that I was interested in. In fact, because I was getting a late start compared to the other guys going, Jack had me run a Kiev personal ad and as I was greeted at the Kiev airport I was handed 40 letters of ladies who had interest to meet me. There were about eight ladies I wanted to meet, but only had time to meet two of them. Jacks assistance made the entire process go smoothly.
FirstDream's Ukrainian staff is excellent. They efficiently transferred me from the airport to a lovely apartment, helped me with interpreters, places to eat, and places to go and see. The two parties were better than expected. The location was a cozy club just off the main street of Kiev. The atmosphere was conducive to meeting people and there were plenty of interpreters available. One staff member went beyond the call of duty one evening when I really hit it off with someone by accompanying us to dinner after the last party ended.
I would definitely recommend the services of Jack Bragg and FirstDream. The only reason that I will not be attending any further socials is that I met someone special on my first trip and she is soon to be here with me.

Thanks Jack for a Great Trip!
First I would like to say that your trip was everything I dreamed of and more. Wish I knew of this opportunity 10 years ago. You and your staff do a wonderful job of putting these trips together. At first I was a little bit apprehensive that a 55 year old man could connect with enough women in a sensible age bracket to make the trip worth while. Not only did I meet a lot of great gals but I may have done better than the guys in there thirties and forties! First thing that I noted was that the response rate to my letters was fairly high. Anyone that is planning this trip should use your hand delivery letter service because many of these gals told me that they receive so many letters that they can't possibly open all of them and translating letters is a slow and difficult task. And if they know that you are coming they will want to meet you. Also I want to point out that the gals I wrote and met that are in there thirty's and forties seemed very sincere.
I am glad that you and your staff were there to set up meeting with the ladies I had been corresponding with prior to the trip. It would have been very difficult for me to have arrange several meetings with these ladies in a day but to your credit you guys made it look easy. All I had to worry about was getting there on time and looking good!
The parties were perfect. You seemed to have the right number of ladies and I had never seen so many beautiful ladies at one time before. And not at just one of your parties, at all 6 of them!. All the ladies I spoke with really liked your parties and they way they are put on. A few ladies had mentioned they had gone to one of the large socials before and they would never do that again. I really had my best luck at the parties. My advise to guys who are thinking about thinking this trip is to follow Jacks advise. Write the letters, make sure the ladies are real, don't fall in love with the first gal that you meet, and meet ALL the ladies. Be ready to travel because you will be putting on some miles. And remember that you ain't in Kansas anymore Dorothy so be patient. I would say go now because things will change. If you want to ask me more about the trip give me a call.

To anyone interested in the most effecient, professional Russian bride mariage agency,
I work in a business where getting things done right is the ultimate measure of your worth and so I don't take it lightly when I say that First Dream has done things right in all of my dealings with them. Jack and his crew have worked all hours of the night before and during the tour to ensure that all of the guys were completely taken care of and all of the company has contributed to the success of my personal trips as well. Trust me when I say you can depened on them. A small measure of this is their being on time. If you have not traveled in Eastern Europe let me tell you that "on time" can be a very flexible concept and, after working with some other agencies I have seen this in action...not a lot of fun when you have multiple meetings to make or when it is raining and cold and you are in the middle of a city where you can't even read the street signs. First Dream however has delivered 100% for me with professional, dependable service. On the tour you will have the owner of the company, Jack with you the whole way. Jack plays many roles in these trips: Coordinator, Guard dog (against scammers of all types), cheerleader, confidant, advisor (he has walked the walk, his beautiful wife Natalia is from Ukraine), and he will do whatever it takes to ensure his clients are taken care of and this attitude extends the not only his whole organization, but the other agencies he works with....in short you simply can't ask for a better agency in your corner and you will be amazed at how much personal time Jack invests in your search. If you are serious about finding a wife in the FSU you will simply not find a better agency to have in your corner.
