EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT!
Hi, readers!
Due to our busy wedding season (SO GRATEFUL), we missed our Employee Spotlight for the month of August! However, this worked out in Amanda’s favor because she is now being featured in the spotlight during her birthday month of September! If you ever had the pleasure of working with Amanda, I am sure you know how passionate she is about her work. She is fully dedicated to ensuring that each and every one of her clients are completely satisfied on their big day! Whether it is a wedding day or any other special occasion – Amanda’s main focus is to always bring the customer’s vision to life! From a first-hand perspective, I can tell you that she does just that and so much more! Let’s get to know a Amanda a little better with a Q&A…
