She calmed all my nerves and ALWAYS checked in on us. She was on the ball all the time to say the least. White Manor has an amazing wedding to offer any couple. The food was amazing from the plated dinner to the appetizers and pasta taco station. We heard nothing but amazing compliments about the food. The bartenders were fast and served all 175 guests with ease. I wouldn’t change a single thing about the best day of my life. Thank you WMCC & Kelsey!
