“Nicholas Moll and Valerie Condon were our Wedding Coordinators at St. Paul’s Union Depot. They were the most professional and nicest vendors I have ever worked with and it was a joy to talk to Nicholas in those last few weeks before the wedding as he was as engaged and excited as me and my daughter were about the wedding.”
