    We utilized them for our February 2020 wedding and they were amazing to work with. Communication was on point and they understood exactly what we were looking for which isn't the easiest coming from me :) The trailer and the feature they delivered to us (in a very timely manner) were beautiful! We've showed a lot of people who have said great things! Really great product/service for their price comparatively speaking for downtown Chicago.
