“From the moment I met Letitia, I knew my wedding was in divine hands. Every detail—from the florals to the lighting—was handled with such care and intention that it felt like stepping into a dream. A Merciful Affair didn’t just plan our wedding; they ministered to our hearts through beauty, excellence, and grace. My husband and I still tear up thinking about that day.
