Wow, Thank you doesn't seem enough to say to you. You absolutely made our day exactly what we imagined from start to finish, and to be able to have done that with like a weeks' notice is incredible. Everything was perfect. You explained everything so well and kept us both calm. All the decorations were exactly how I planned, thank you for seeing my vision.
