MADDY, BRide
"On the actual day of the wedding I just can't even express how much she improved our experience. I literally did not worry about a single logistical detail on our wedding day. I was completely calm and present from start to finish and things just magically unfolded perfectly."
"I truly believe if it wasn’t for Katie, our wedding would have never been as magical and beautiful as it turned out to be. "
