These folks are with us at the rehearsal and before/during/after the ceremony. They only have one wedding at that time so they can and do give their undivided attention. They make my job a lot easier.

Although they do not provide the hands-on service during the rehearsal and ceremony as the chapels above (because they may have 3 or 4 weddings going on at the same time), they are professionals in taking care of your needs.
