Smooth Sailing

While planning the wedding I was residing abroad making communication and planning difficult, however, Helen made every effort to connect to me online and update me about the choices and procedures before the big day. We did manage to go and see the venue beforehand which helped us make decisions about which rooms to decorate and how to decorate them. The staff were very professional and made sure we had everything we needed. Adjustments to the menu, dietary requirements, and alcohol choices were all available upon request. The food was delicious and the service was quick so each table started at about the same time. The DJ for the evening party was in touch via email in a timely manner, he played the requested songs and found similar songs that everybody danced all night to! Overall the day went smoothly, we were able to enjoy ourselves and staff made sure the event ran on time and we moved through the schedule seamlessly.
