Advice for future brides:
“Barbara was indispensable and reachable at all times during the planning process and of course while we were in town for our wedding. We could get her by phone, email, and we knew we could trust her 100% with all the details. My recommendation to any couple is to trust your suppliers and vendors. They will take care of everything on the wedding day.” The Bride.
