Featured Quote from Brides' Magazine 2000

"If The Bridal Suite's Allister Simmons can haul a piano to the top of a cliff, you know he can do pretty much anything, and this veteran of countless ceremonies knows every romantic corner of the isle.  He prides himself in making everyone's wedding fantasies come true - whether for a feisty 79-year old bride scrambling down a cliff's craggy steps or a young groom in a wheelchair dancing the night away, under the stars."
