Best NYE ever

My husband and I wanted to have a drag queen host and emcee our New Year’s Eve wedding. We reached out to a few drag queens and were happy to choose Buff Faye after going to a few of her drag brunches. She put on four fantastic performances, provided our guests with quick drag for our flower gurls and officiated the wedding. She made sure our family and guests had a blast. We would highly recommend Buff Faye for a wedding or private event.
