"We just wanted to say a huge big thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you did (and then some ) on our wedding day. You were truly amazing. Our day flew and you were an invisible presence from the time you arrived at my mums right up until you left. The day flew and now the dust is settling I wish we could do it all over again. You were an absolute joy to work with from our first meeting. Thank you so very very much!” - Louise and Andy
