"Nicole was such a great help and support...

- Alix Loyer

throughout the entire organisation, process and on the day itself! As we could not be in the country, she assisted us getting everything sorted and in place so that our guests and ourselves could enjoy that day fully. She was highly recommended by family friends and we are so happy she was here for us. The entire process for us was stress free, full of positivity and she was always willing to listen to our suggestions and assist to make it happen."
