First, Distinctively You Weddings, we loved you guys. You did a great job and helped us so much. There is no way that we would have had so good a wedding without you. Time and time again you went 'above the call of duty' to make sure things got done and were done right, especially when we had to reschedule the wedding. Some specifics...meeting at our houses or at places/times convenient to us...attending vendor meetings with us...the fact that you were able to communicate with us via email at any time. — Elizabeth and Matt, bride and groom |
