RAVING REVIEWS...

Gail did a wonderful job with our wedding on Saturday. The vows she chose (based on conversations with me) were perfect and she was always accessible and kept in constant communication as needed throughout the process. I cannot recommend her enough.

Gail was lovely from start to finish! She spent a great deal of time talking to us during our initial phone consultation and provided very helpful information about what to do leading up to the wedding, what to expect the day of, as well as steps to follow after the wedding for name change, etc. The ceremony was beautiful and she is a true professional! It is clear she takes her role very seriously and I was incredibly grateful we found her for our wedding day!
