Bellwether Events
 Rich was wonderful to work with this past weekend. He was super early, and brought different types of equipment, which allowed him to be flexible to the indoor/outdoor arrangements he was dealing with - not to mention the concert taking place down the hill from the ceremony! He was pleasant and cheerful with the bridal party and the guests, and I look forward to our next event together.
