    Amazing!

    Becky with Events to Celebrate along with her team were AMAZING! Becky took care of everything the day of our wedding/reception. I couldn't have done it without her! Great communication! They covered all the little "touches" that made it a fabulous day/evening!

    Events to Celebrate's reply:

    Thanks for the review Teri. We felt very blessed to be part of the day. Please reach out if you should need anything in the future.
