Andrew was so on point that we could not have missed a detail or forgotten something even if we tried. And Henry, the attendant for my husband and his groomsman, was not only taking care of the groomsman but he was taking care of me too! Jason went out of his way to make sure to incorporate traditions from both of our backgrounds and to make sure our wedding was perfect. Not only that, but our guests continue to call, e-mail and text us about what an incredible night they had! I had told him when we met that we wanted to enjoy all of cocktail hour, eat dinner, dance, and eat dessert and he made sure we did all of that and more. Thank you to everyone at The Grove for a phenomenal and unmatchable wedding day!
