Barbara did the ceremony for my wedding and she was absolutely amazing!! She made it so sincere and personal and everyone commented how amazing her words were! I never get emotional and she made me tear up, which says everything it needs to! Thank you so much Barbara, I am so grateful! Highly recommend!
