Laura is AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things about her and her team. She will quickly become your best friend and create the most beautiful, personal, perfect wedding. I have said this multiple times but hiring Laura was the best decision we made regarding our wedding. She made our special day one of a kind and stress free for me as the bride. One of the hardest things following the wedding has been knowing I wouldn't get to talk to Laura as much! She truly became a friend and I am forever grateful for her. She is truly special and I cannot recommend her enough!
