Susan was the perfect choice for our wedding! I am so happy we were able to meet her. We connected with her instantly and she guided us through the Wedding process with efficiency, compassion, and understanding. She was very professional and helped us create a wedding ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives. The day of the ceremony went completely perfect, because I knew Susan was there and that she would make sure everything fell into place. I would 100% recommend her to anybody.

We can not thank Susan enough for her presence at our wedding! From the first chat we had when we booked her to today she has been absolutely amazing! She kept in touch with us and really made sure our ceremony went exactly how we wanted it to! Not only was the ceremony beautiful and contained all the elements that were important to us but she even threw in some little jokes and comments that were enjoyed by all. She made us feel so comfortable up there at the alter and our ceremony was definitely US! She went above and beyond by working with our other vendors (even making a friend or 2 lol) and snapping beautiful pictures prior to the ceremony. She was early and ready to go! Throughout the evening and the next day we got so many compliments on our ceremony and was asked multiple times how we found her. We couldn't be more grateful and from the bottom of our hearts we give our most sincere thanks! She really made our day special ❤️
