Wedding Day Management
We will be available the day before the wedding to catch up on all the finer details and co-ordinate your wedding rehearsal.
We are there on your wedding day to oversee every detail and put you at ease – from co-ordinating caterers to sound checking the DJ & entertainment, from positioning flowers to straightening your train before you walk down the aisle
