ur rehearsal Steven kept everyone on track, for each of the multiple run-throughs we did. The day of, Steven made sure to check in with me and my husband before the ceremony to see how we were feeling, and confirming one last time everything we'd done at the rehearsal. Steven was on top of the little details, from taking my bouquet so my MOH could fix my train before grabbing more flowers, to making sure we didn't walk back down the aisle before our quartet started. Steven really went above and beyond, and delivered a beautiful ceremony!
Steven was so easy to work with and our ceremony was absolutely perfect! He was a great help in making sure we were where we needed to be day of, since I was completely spaced out ...

t while still providing an amazing ceremony. Steven did that with ease. Our family, even the most religious of the bunch, said it was one of the most beautiful ceremonies they've ever seen.
