Makes Love Happen

Haley’s year of experience in the hospitality industry has given her the tools to create exceptional experiences, always putting the bride and groom at the center of her focus She also knows the critical role that communication plays in keeping the entire event moving in a positive direction.
Do not be fooled to believe that everything goes smoothly, however. But when things go sideways, she does not panic. She simply takes a breath and looks at the situation from a different angle.
