Her couples appreciate her calm personality, quick response time, attention to details, and passion for weddings! Some of Stephanie's favorite things:
Stephanie's favorite wedding moment: Waiting with the bride before she walks down the aisle, as well as revealing the reception space to the bride and groom before guests enter! It's so fun to see their happiness in seeing all of the planning come to life!
