Tara was absolutely amazing! We contacted her with a request to officiate the NEXT DAY and she was able to offer us personalized service in our desired spot. We ran 10 mins late but she was pleasant and understanding and our ceremony was beautiful! Whatever you need- she will do her best to accommodate, even in 24 hours! Thank you so much, Tara! We are forever thankful for you!
