Amazing Experience

First off both Erika and Harry were amazing. They were very responsive prior to the day of. On the actual wedding day, Harry was nothing short of outstanding. He was on top of everything and had all bases covered. Maria, the bridal attendant, was super sweet and helpful and made sure my husband and I had everything we could possibly need. During the reception, Harry and Maria kept checking on us to make sure we had everything. The food was actually amazing. It was even better the day of then it was during the tasting. All of my guests said that they really enjoyed the food. The whole experience was outstanding. As a bride, there are so many moving parts the day of and it is very overwhelming. But I can honestly say that they really helped me to be able to breathe and try to take it all in. Their packages were very affordable but with the level of service they provided, it was an absolute steal.
