Applause
“I used a realty rental company, bakery, chair rental, and a videographer from your suggested vendors. Your list saved us a great deal of money and time. They all were kind, professional and reasonably priced-I even got to include items and services into our wedding that I really wanted but didn’t know we could afford ’til I used this list. Thank you!” ~ Mrs. Trina Costa, bride
