Gwyn was my day-of coordinator! She is super organized and a problem solver, but somehow also fun as a planner. Looking at her face will remove the tension from your body on your wedding day because she calmly already has everything handled.

Wild and Free Charcuterie makes the most stunning grazing tables for cocktail hour, but they also do individual charcuterie cups that are so cute for a grab-and-go-dance late night snack option!
