Above and Beyond!!

First and foremost, the food was delicious!! I never expect food at a wedding to be really good, but LJ and Umphrey proved me wrong! My guests are still complimenting us on our wedding reception dinner and by far the BEST coconut cake I've ever had. The service was perfect and it felt like we working with friends we've known for years. Thank you LJ and Umphrey!!
