Heather & Michael - Bleckley Inn- Anderson, SC
"Everyone says that their wedding ceremony is perfect but ours truly was! Not only did Brenda make our ceremony perfect for us, she made it special for our guests. We both really appreciate how relaxed the ceremony was and also her enthusiasm, professionalism with some humor, but mostly the kindness & sincerity in her voice when she spoke the words of our ceremony. The most important memory that we will ever have is that Brenda was the person who made us ‘one’ forever and it was truly perfect!
Once again, we would like to thank her for making our wedding ceremony wonderful and unforgettable. We are still receiving compliments on how beautiful it was. We truly thank her from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you SO much!!!"
Michelle McMurray, founder of Wedding Story Writer
"I had the pleasure to work with Brenda Owen (aka: WeddingWoman) at Emily & John's wedding from this story. She was delightful, and had I not known any different, I would have thought the three of them had known one another for years. Brenda is a true wedding professional and has it all under control, like clockwork.
She organized the groomsmen & bridesmaids, giving them a heads-up on what to expect from her ceremony. She gathered the photographers and gave them instruction on when to and when NOT to take photos (during the opening prayer). She married Emily and John with great love and respect, not making a single mistake during the process. She was so much at ease that it appeared it helped the couple while they stood at the altar in front of their loved ones. WeddingWoman has my full recommendation!"
