Went above and beyond for our wedding., Amazing service.

Donna went above and beyond for our wedding., She arrived an hour early to check out the venue and exactly where things were to be.
Played out guests in., to tunes she had found out we liked from the guests.
Reassured my now wife before the ceremony and let her choose when to start.,
Put everyone at ease.
At night even did a blessings speech for us.
She made our event magical !
