Recently received this email from a venue owner after I sent her a thank you card. Folks, it’s so important to have everything go smoothly for your wedding day! And sometimes that means letting your family and friends enjoy celebrating you instead of working for you. Trust me… I’ve heard some horror stories. Hire a professional officiant:
