Rina and Shan are absolutely amazing! They worked with us every step of the way and went above and beyond for our wedding. They were so helpful and did everything in their power to make our day perfect! The garden and the house are absolutely beautiful and you can see all the love and effort that went into making the property perfect! They let my now husband run internet to the back yard so we could live stream our ceremony to my grandparents who were not able to make it. They also let our sweet dog participate and be a part of the fun! They truly are fairy god parents and I can not thank them or recommend them enough! Thank you so so much Rina and Shan!
