“ From the very beginning, Kim was attentive and involved. Any time I texted or called, she answered. Anything I asked her for, she said yes.

She truly just wants you to be happy and will do whatever she can to make that happen.” - Lauren Mahoney
“ Planning our perfect wedding at the Jerris Country Estate was easy with the help of Kim! My fiancé and I lived in North Carolina and were concerned about planning a wedding in Rochester, NY.
