Lili is fantastic!

Lili was absolutely terrific. She was easy to work with and was available whenever we needed to ask her questions. Many of our guests were impressed at her professionalism and what she said throughout our ceremony. They even asked how long we had known Lili because she made our ceremony so personal and kept things light and happy. She made the entire experience stress free and easy. We would absolutely recommend her! Having her perform our ceremony was one of the best parts of our wedding!
