- My favorite part of the wedding day is The First Dance
- I never leave the house for a wedding without my iPhone
- My one tip for couples getting married in the Golden Isles is Hire a Wedding Planner! (we didn’t tell him to say this!
)
- Your must-see or must-do for couples while in the area: The pier at Gould’s Inlet, St. Simons Island
- What is your favorite song for a wedding (ceremony or reception) and explain why. Unchained Melody by Righteous Brothers… best Love song ever! In fact, I want it to be my first dance song one day.
