I can’t believe I am the first to review these wonderful company. I must say that I did not want to have a hand in the wedding planning process, but since my wife and I were the ones funding our day, I had to keep a close ear to ensure we were appropriately budgeting. Rubies and Pearls eased this process for me, and I’m sure for my wife. Patient! Something unheard of probably for bride’s and probably a mainstay for wedding planning companies. We gave them our budget, they listened and they planned. I mean literally they did everything that made our wedding day unique. Save the dates, Invitations, Menus, Signs, Custom Painted Vases, Table Numbers, Programs, so much including the planning. It was a one stop shop, and we got EVERYTHING we wanted with extras, for 1⁄3 of the price of the normal Washington, DC wedding planner.
