Sam is a LIFESAVER!! 10/10 service!
Sam. Was. Awesome!!! So personable yet so professional! She went with my husband and me to pick out the venue and thought of so many questions that never occurred to me! Thank god she was there (and thanks for her patience). She also worked day of our wedding, hand in hand with the venue staff, to make sure everything went smoothly from start to finish. All I know is when we started working with Sam, my stress levels went WAY down. Thank you thank you thank you!
