Planning a wedding is a challenge and there are many additional items you need to plan for besides the venue. I have started a list of vendors I’ve worked within a variety of settings, weddings, work events, etc. that I trust to do a great job for you. Please feel free to visit with also if you would like some ideas or additional information. This page is under construction and I hope to have a short description of each vendor shortly — I also will be adding others to give you a more complete selection and option.
