Shane and company did an outstanding job for our wedding! The customer service we received from Shane was second to none! We were planning a wedding from out of town and he went to GREAT lengths to make sure we were satisfied and comfortable with our choices. They were professional, courteous, and friendly during the entirety of the wedding. I can't say enough good things about our experience. Thank you for making our moments so memorable! Would not hesitate to hire Smiling Dog again in an instant!
PS they were also able to accommodate us with last minute linen requests!
