"...We
live in St. Louis, so also had to rely heavily on Yvonne (Scottish
Wedding Consultants) to plan and organize everything for us. She
kept on task during the planning, as we were quite busy with arrangements
for the rest of our trip and honeymoon, and made sure that all
necessary plans were made in a timely manner. We believe that
her fee was very reasonable for all of the many services that
she provided."
