William is amazing! He did a fantastic job at our wedding. Showed up early to greet guests and speak with them. Kept the ceremony as short as we had asked for it to be. Made sure to speak with us after and the guests loved him! Professional, punctual, and an all around amazing guy. Highly reccomend him!
The colonel was absolutely amazing! He was so helpful throughout the whole process and made everything easy and fun. The ceremony was heartfelt, unique, and our guests LOVED him. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to marry us!
