Love Notes
Less than a month before our wedding, I was hoping for an assist with hair and make up and through Michelle reaching out to vendors she knew, I was connected to a hair and make up artist that was perfect. Michelle talked me through our wedding day timeline which allowed me to properly coordinate with every vendor we needed at the reception venue.

When it came to wedding planning, i thought i had all my ducks in a row, but a lot fell through the cracks on my part. I was not as prepared as I thought, the day-of, and Michelle was the perfect person to have by my side.

Michelle’s helpfulness in picking out other vendors and creating a timeline that worked for our evening ceremony was so helpful!
