Pearl did an amazing job and I would highly recommend her and her team. The amount of value she added was priceless. Planning a wedding is stressful, and having Pearl there with us was such a burden off our shoulders. Furthermore, we wanted our wedding to be unique to us, and Pearl took the time to help us figure out what that meant and make it a reality. When the wedding weekend came, I felt incredibly confident that Pearl and her team had everything under control, and that we could just focus on enjoying ourselves. I know I am biased, but I believe Pearl helped us plan the best wedding I have ever been to.
