Jalissa was unfortunately unable to make it to our wedding due to a medical emergency. Despite recovering in the hospital, this incredible woman refused to leave us out to dry and personally found a wonderful replacement for our big day. While I would have loved to have her there at our ceremony, her integrity was nothing short of amazing. We got married without a single issue, and we are so grateful for her professionalism during a personal crisis. I truly hope your recovery goes smoothly from here on out, Jalissa!

ful we found her!
We had a FaceTime call with her to talk about our story, who we are as people, and what is important in our relationship. I was able to text her about additional things we wanted to include in our ceremony, certain verbiage we wanted added and she was able to combine it all into a beautiful service. She came for our wedding rehearsal and was able to help wok out the kinks, and was flexible with us when we had to start late to wait for groomsmen to arrive. The things she said during the ceremony perfectly captured our relationship and touched on everything that was important to us. We can be goofy, non-serious people and she was able to blend in seamlessly having fun and cheering with us. We absolutely recommend working with Jalissa!
