TESTIMONIALS
"What can I say about Candace and the professionalism in the planning of our anniversary. She kept us moving with this destination event, getting us the best vendors in a town that none of us had been to and added that special touch. I recognize that this took a lot of work logistically with many unknowns, but they made any difficulties invisible to us. Thank you!"
Janice Moore

She is the best person we can have to support us, always being there when we need her to be... always coming up with creative ideas and creative solutions thank you Candace."
