“Tangs went above and beyond my expectations. Several brides suggested them in a Facebook group I was a part of all their personal raving reviews were true! The staff was kind, knowledgeable and just as excited for my big day as I was. Their prices are fair and their work is excellent! I would recommend anyone to Tangs!” - LACEY
