Read More - Clinton and Damienfrom start to finish, of dealing with you was an absolute delight
May we start by saying that the whole experience, from start to finish, of dealing with you was an absolute delight. You had the ability to fulfil every requirement and expectation we had while still remaining very easy to work with, which was a big thing for Clinton as he was already so stressed! On the day we had a tendency to forget that you were there and our guests found you a true gent. When we got our slideshow of all the photos we were extremely delighted with them all and feel you have captured the true essence of the day which will allow us to forever remember the emotions we felt on our special day and for this we thank you dearly.
