Beti was a perfect addition to our proposal. She was communicative and flexible—and was open to my input. Among other songs, her version of Encchanted by Taylor Swift brought the special moment together. Due to traffic, my fiance and I were running late, but Beti was incredibly patient and understanding. We will be hiring her for our future events!
