Alayna was very sweet and helpful and took care of everything we needed while planning the wedding. On our wedding day everything went smoothly….Overall I was very satisfied with our wedding, it was beautiful and the staff was very nice and helpful.

Our planner, Alayna, was great at communicating with us and making sure we had every detail covered. It was so nice to have the high quality options for DJ, Catering, Cake, and Venue all in one place and for a great price.
