A testament to their harmonious approach to planning, Edrine expresses with enthusiasm, “It was actually Sapphira who mentioned that it’s better if we would have a band. Actually, that’s the highlight of our wedding. Everybody was telling us that the band was really good.”
Communication: The Key to a Seamless Symphony
