“From the moment I met Julie, I knew she was the right fit for us. A very warm lady who cares about the service she delivers. We had a very private ceremony (witnesses only) but despite this Julie made our service very thoughtful and memorable. The personal touches of remembering how we met and acknowledging that our parents were not present was really beautiful. I have already recommended Julie to friends. We couldn't have had a better day.” - Carmen D.
