The team at the Stutz was overall amazing!! There were a few hiccup because I wasn’t exactly sure who I was supposed to be communicating with just because I talked to 2 or 3 people in the beginning, by the time event day came it was absolutely amazing!! Sarah was so wondering the day before and the day of. Any questions we had she’s readily available.
