Brooke and Dan - Casa Marina Wedding, Jacksonville Beach

I was very hesitant to get a day of coordinator and I would completely recommend one if you are debating it. I reached out to First Coast 45 days before my wedding and it was absolutely worth every penny. Heather and Laura were fantastic and took all of the pressure and planning off of me and my family the day of the wedding. They were very easy to reach if I needed them and communicated multiple times to make sure everything went the way that I wanted it. Thank you again, I couldn't imagine my wedding without your help.
