From the beginning meetings with David, we could tell he was professional and had been orchestrating weddings for a long time. We felt confident in his skillset and vision for how the night would unfold. David walked us through the flow of the evening and shared Google Docs to fill out with all the information that we would to make sure his announcements throughout this night were on point. He was super organized and helpful!!
