WHY they CHOSE ARETHA

Jennifer & Abraham share their experience working with Weddings By Aretha and what made their ceremony so meaningful.

  • "WE ONLY HAD 90 DAYS TO GET MARRIED ON A K-1 VISA."

    “We were very stressed trying to plan everything until we found Aretha. She took our stress away entirely and took care of everything for a very simple, but romantic ceremony in a few hours.”
