β€œWe worked with Leticia for a beach wedding down in Gulf Shores, AL, and could not have been happier or more impressed with the work she did to make our wedding day better than we could have dreamed (or planned). Leticia and her team were constantly in communication with us for the 12 months leading up to the big day and were a life-saving resource for every little detail. Last minute curveballs, weather, and crazy family were all handled with grace, patience, and confidence by Leticia and her team. Leticia and her team are amazing to work with, and we would whole-heartedly recommend trusting them to deliver a wedding day which exceeds your wildest expectations, just like they did for us.”
