The team at AEC were the perfect choice! Everything was amazing and honestly more than we could have expected. The process was easy and stress-free. Their suggestions made the wedding unforgettably beautiful! Rich officiated and it was as if he’d known us for years. His words were personalized for us, our family, friends, and four legged guests included. Shelby’s photograph’s – WOW! We were floored with their abilities and professionalism.
