We had the BEST experience with Catherine for our wedding. She was professional, kind, funny, easy to work with, and the perfect person to lead us through our ceremony. She was available for help with vows, planning our rehearsal, and is just a kind and calm connection to have in this busy industry.
She was a perfect fit for us and the type of day we wanted to have, we wanted the ceremony to be playful, fun and touching, and she did just that. So much so, that we had a few different guests ask how we knew her, since they thought she was a friend of ours. I would recommend her services to anyone!
