Highly Recommend Hitch Maine

Janice is awesome! She was professional, timely, and very enjoyable to speak with! She called me the first day I reached out to her. She was very organized with planning, offering location ideas, speech samples, and just being supportive of any detail we wanted to incorporate. The day of she showed up early, dressed nicely. She is an extremely pleasant person with a beautiful speaking voice. She made our day very special and carefree and we would highly recommend her!
