Hire a DJ that caught their vision, and kept everything simple to keep the focus on the fun. Bouquet and garter? Nope. Cake cutting? Nope; they’re not fans. They […]

I don’t think any moment had people […]

Christina and Jenn’s wedding day was everything they wanted – fun, relaxed, and perfectly them. And, it’s worth noting, I think, it was also absolutely chock FULL of Jenns!
