I am going into my 5th year here; and it never gets old- the excitement of a couple when they visit the site- (I'm aware when they tune me out and see only each other) and say; "This is the spot babe", (I still get chills). My couples are just that- mine, their comfort and peace of mind is my responsibility. I tell each of them to enjoy the planning and know that everyone here is experienced and we will never let them fall too far! (if at all). Come for a tour when it works best for you , we love showing off! Pamela at 860-966-7384
