Above and beyond

Ms. Emma was a pleasure to work with and very responsive. During the memorial event for my mother, Ms. Emma went above and beyond. Working with her was like working with a family member. We appreciate the care and concern that she took with the memorial service planning. Thank you again for all that you did during the planning process and during the event!

The vendor provided everything we needed for our traditional wedding setting. It was done in a timely and professional manner and there were many comments on the beauty of the occasion.

Professional and friendly

Ms. Sams was a professional who handled changed dates and alternate locations well. She immediately felt like a friend. She was supportive with my daughter's not so traditional wedding. She remained calm when the groom was extremely nervous. Her entire two years working with us was a pleasure.
