“Sarah – I genuinely don’t know what we would have done without you! You know absolutely everything there is to know and it was worth its weight in gold having your expertise on the day and in the lead up. Thank you so so much for all your input and for making sure our day was so smooth and stunning. You were so thoughtful and lovely the whole time and we are so very grateful that you were there to help us and manage the whole thing. (Potentially avoided many a disaster because of your guidance haha)”
