Melissa was my wedding angel. I was working out of town, and she took care of everything for me. My wedding was flawless and that was all because of her.

I give Kori a 10/10 for our wedding. I could not have done it without her; she went above and beyond, showing up for the rehearsal walk through, and making sure everything went smoothly. Hiring her was the best decision we ever made!
