Catherine and her assistant did an awesome job with listening to exactly what we wanted, were patient, and even finished earlier than expected. They followed strict covid protocols using new brushes, were fully vaccinated, and wore masks. I’d recommend them to anyone who wants to have a safe and stressless wedding day!!
