My wedding day was absolutely perfect and I know Stephanie and the Social Events team were a huge reason why. From the setup of the ceremony and reception to flower deliveries to making sure everyone was in place and on time, I truly had nothing to worry about that day.
They handled every single detail, scheduled meetings with vendors, provided me with recommendations, and fixed my dress when my husband stepped on it and ripped the bustle!
The day after the wedding, my entire family commented on how smoothly everything went. If you’re starting the wedding planning process, you need to schedule a call with them as their attention to detail is unmatched.
