"Cathy and Dorry coordinated the wedding festivities for my wedding
and it was one of the most joyful,
seamless events imaginable. 
Cathy & Dorry are professional, watchful, polite, intuitive and
understand human behavior at weddings exquisitely.

A great part of their success is in their careful planning,
being in tune with the families personalities and desires
and their enthusiasm in meeting these ends.
Their preparation is detailed with schedules of time, dates, and "who does it".
There is no doubt that they will make happen what needs to
in an orderly, thoughtful manor.

I hope every bride is able to experience the freedom to truly enjoy her wedding because the details are being attended to by Cathy and Dorry!"
