Review: "Christina went above and beyond to make sure our special day was special and to make sure we had everything we needed. Not only did she meet with us to create our very own personal ceremony, she offered to help find rental companies, flower vendors, even our rings! Any question I had about weddings, she answered by the next day, and did have a great amount of information/resources. Virginia weddings are a little more complicated, so she did the research and found a solution to the problems we encountered, and dealt with getting all of those details ready for us to just show up, sign, and be ready for the ceremony!"
