Testimonials

I was introduced to Mr. Gordon Craig a few years back during a Cabo San Lucas destination wedding and was fortunate to witness Mr. Craig in action. Every aspect of this 5 day-trip was beautifully executed. From air/hotel logistics, to coordination of daily activities and meals that were unexpectedly changed due to last minute bridal party requests, I watched Mr. Craig model grace and patience -- properly communicating in a timely fashion with staff of another country and language. Additionally, it's important to note there was an epic rainstorm during the destination wedding that flooded roads for over 2 hours leaving our transportation stranded for that duration and a second downpour immediately before the wedding that required the entire post wedding reception dinner tables to be reset! Wow! Flawless! I highly recommend Mr. Gordon for any event that demands quality, professionalism, and flair!

Gordon Craig was super organized. He met with me multiple times, including a special house call, to make sure that everything for my big day was in order. He was very professional. On the day of my wedding, he made the behind the scene process run so smoothly, that if anything went wrong, I did not know! He made sure the wedding location was in order as well as the reception venue. Gordon was so wonderful and he felt like part of my family. I would definitely hire him for another event.
