WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“Kerri was the most professional, informative, organized and helpful wedding planner.

From start to finish she made us at ease, steered us in the right direction, helped us find all our vendors, gave recommendations and overall made the wedding day so smooth. I would pay for her time and time again.
