“Everyone that I worked with at FCE was an absolute pleasure and very helpful for us in our planning! Our officiant was excellent and very laid back which was exactly what we wanted and his ability to play along with my husband’s sarcasm was entertaining to all the attendees. The ceremony set up was gorgeous and everything I could have imagined.”
