You will recieve a personalized speech from your ceremony that I personally take as much time as needed to make special with hints of personality of sincere heart felt special moments that I observe from each party. Its a framed copy I give as a gift my clients can take home to keep as a heartfelt keepsake. Because for these events no amount of memories is to much! If wanted by parties involved they can review the speech ahead of time or I'd be happy to help with vows if they want their own personally written or read!
