We couldn't have asked for a better coordinator or team!
We had the most amazing wedding reception thanks to the Vernon Downs team! Brandy was so flexible with us, and she truly made all of our visions come to life. The food was OUTSTANDING. Our guests have still been talking about it, over a month later. Thank you so much for such a wonderful day to remember.

Vikki,
You were so great to work with and it was funny to see we both had the same wedding dress! You and Eric looked so in love dancing to your first dance as husband and wife, and I adored your table numbers! That was a first for me. Enjoy life together and love one another unconditionally!
Sincerely,
Brandy Snell
