KIND WORDS

From our clients

10/10 recommend hiring a team that knows how to make your dreams come true (even in a pandemic)…when I sat down with Michelle I already knew she was the person for me. Michelle is a fierce mama bear with exquisite taste & a heart of gold, exactly what I needed. In the midst of the madness that was last year she never made us feel like our fairytale was out of reach. She supported our decisions, championed us when we got discouraged, & vowed to make our 50 person wedding everything we could ever want, despite covid.
