All went as we had hoped, the facilities were outstanding, the slideshow and music played smoothly, and the floral arrangement and lighting were beautiful.

We met with Julie and right away felt safe going though this difficult process with someone who listened and wanted to support our vision of the celebration we wanted to create for celebrating dad’s life. All the details we expressed were important were executed professionally. They even helped us stay within our budget. We really appreciated the support and planning we received. I’d highly recommend working with Julie. She was amazing.”
