We know that this has been a very trying year and half for all of us. Vanessa’s Modern Bride has implemented the following policies and procedures, guided by CDC guidelines. We have done so in order to maintain the health and safety of our staff and clients during the Covid-19 pandemic. Despite these procedures, we will try to the best of our abilities to give our brides the exceptional service and experience that we have been known for over the last 37 years.
