ANDREA E LAURAThe perfect gift! If you are looking for a way to take some of the stress out of organising your wedding, Vanessa is the right choice. We got married with a civil ceremony in a location where no wedding had ever been held before, so we would have had to do everything ourselves, so anxious about how to handle it we called Vanessa. It was a gift we wanted to give ourselves and it was the best choice ever. Thank you Vanessa
