We worked closely with Laure (as did my Mom...) and she was incredible. Patient, quick to respond, positive, and made me so confident that all things related to our reception would go smoothly. I did not envision getting married in a hotel, but Laure and the team at the Westin made us SO glad we hosted our reception there!
