ggested Michele after attending a wedding she had officiated and had nothing but wonderful things to say and we are so thankful. Michele was everything we wanted and more. She stepped right in, picked up and ran.
She listened to our frustrations over having to change everything, she learned our story and most importantly- she listened. She created the perfect ceremony and it was not a cut and paste job!
She was calm when I was a mess, she was funny when the time needed and serious and respectful all at the same time. We had MANY compliments afterward and we cannot say enough to praise her.
