Choosing Timeless Photo Video was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Steve (photographer) , Lia (videographer), Nancy and Kate (the coordinators) and the team were amazing to work with. They were punctual, professional, and had a great sense of humor, which made us feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. We especially loved how they captured the candid moments and the emotions of the day. The video was edited beautifully, and the photos are breathtaking.

We had a great experience working with Poppy Flowers for our wedding. Their process was super straightforward, and their website made everything easy to plan. We met with Adrienne, who clearly explained how everything would work, and their on-site team did an amazing job bringing it all to life on the day. We sent just a few inspiration photos, and they customized all the arrangements. We were especially happy with the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, the ceremony centerpiece clouds, the table arrangements, and the elegant single-flower vases scattered throughout. Everything looked incredible at a great price. We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out.

Jeremy was phenomenal as our wedding DJ! I've known him since middle school, but I promise this review isn't biased - he truly is the best of the best! From the beginning, he made everything incredibly easy. His online contract was straightforward, I was able to sign everything and pay just by using my phone. Also, the Google form he provided to understand our music preferences and timeline was super streamlined and simple to complete. On the day of the wedding, Jeremy worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator, which meant I didn't have to field questions and could just enjoy the day. His announcements kept the night flowing perfectly, but he kept them brief so the focus stayed on the music and dancing which was exactly what we wanted! We definitely gave him a challenge: a big Mexican family wanting Latin music mixed with emo and hip hop-loving millennials. Jeremy handled it like a pro, effortlessly blending songs together and keeping everyone on their feet dancing all night long. The dance floor was packed from start to finish! Honestly, I wish the night could've lasted forever. If you want a DJ who can read the room, seamlessly mix different genres, and keep your guests dancing all night, Jeremy is your guy. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

I cannot thank Kara and the BFF team enough for their help with my wedding day. I had two trials with another company that left me so worried about my day of look. Just three weeks before the wedding I decided I needed to go in a different direction. I called Kara up in a panic hoping she would be able to help with my short notice wedding on a holiday weekend. Kara was so communicative and helpful during this time. She listened closely to my previous experiences and my beauty vision. She reached out to her team and was able to find two amazing artists who would be available to help. They scheduled a trial for the next week and the trial was perfect! I was again so excited for my big day knowing I was in the right hands. Kris gave me amazing waves that lasted through the heat and humidity of the entire day and night. Priscilla gave me a soft makeup look with the most comfortable lashes I have ever worn. Together they created my dream glam and I could not be more grateful. If you are considering hiring the BFF team for your wedding you will not regret it. They are knowledgeable, communicative, and truly care about their clients. They will be able to give you your dream glam look too. Thank you Kara, Kris and Priscilla

We worked with Francisco as our day-of wedding coordinator at the Josephine Butler Parks Center, and we cannot recommend him highly enough! From the moment we started working with him, he was incredibly thorough, organized, and clearly genuinely invested in making our wedding day as smooth and joyful as possible. In the months leading up to the wedding, Francisco helped walk us through the big checklist items for planning a wedding, ensuring we didn’t overlook a single detail while always being respectful of our choices and vision. His communication over email was always timely and clear, and our planning phone calls were always productive, efficient, and fun! One of the most valuable things he did was create a comprehensive vendor packet that centralized all final details—this was a game-changer! We didn’t have to worry about keeping track of updates or managing version control, as he seamlessly handled all communication and coordination with our vendors. His understanding of the venue layout, the timing with our photographer, and the logistics of transporting wedding items made the final decisions stress-free. We trusted him completely, and every detail turned out exactly as we’d hoped—or better! When it came time for the wedding weekend itself, Francisco expertly ran our rehearsal, navigating family dynamics with calm professionalism and making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. On the wedding day, Francisco was a calm and reassuring presence, quietly in charge and gracefully keeping everything on track. As someone who’s very Type A and typically likes to stay on top of everything, I was amazed by how much I was able to relax and simply enjoy the day because I knew Francisco would be handling it all. Thanks to him, we could focus on celebrating with our loved ones, knowing everything was in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who will bring warmth, expertise, and a true sense of calm to your wedding day, Francisco is your person. He made our wedding a dream come true, and we wouldn’t change a single thing. (Photos courtesy of Paperbird Photography!)

I cannot say enough amazing things about our hair and makeup team from our wedding! I did a trial with Aida a few months beforehand and what she did on my wedding day was event BETTER than the trial! Everyone looked amazing, and she and her team were so helpful and adaptable to what everyone needed. They made us all feel and look beautiful. They used high quality products, they gave us all beautiful false lashes, and they gave us all little Touch up kits. When we did the trial Aida gave me excellent advice for how to take care of my skin. My dry skin is very tricky so when I still had issues by wedding day she whipped out all her amazing products and worked her magic to help make a better canvas for the makeup. She also worked MAGIC on short hair. We were all in awe of what she could do with our two party members who didn’t have much hair to work with. And they worked their magic on multiple skin tones from pale to Latina to black. Everything lasted all night through humidity and a breeze. zero complaints! Cannot recommend Senema beauty enough!

It was great to work with Cesar. From the moment we had our introductory call with him, we were drawn in by his authenticity, humor and laid back energy. We knew he was a good fit for a day that we wanted to keep positive, low-stress, and focused. When it came time for him to give instructions for couple and family shoots, he was confident and cool. In fact, many of our guests went out of their way to share how impressed they were with Cesar. He did a great job capturing our daytime wedding despite the quick change from cloudy and rainy to a bright springtime sun. He struck the perfect balance of positioning himself well to get great shots without being conspicuous or obtrusive. I plan to hire Cesar for other events in the future and recommend that my friends do the same.

Grace did both our engagement and wedding photos and was such a pleasure to work with. She was professional, communicative, and attentive throughout the whole process, gave fantastic advice and direction on the day, paid minute attention to detail, and was up for anything. Her photos are dreamy and strike a perfect balance between art and recording memories.

At Sweet Greene Cupcakery we specialize in edible artistry to create unique and delicious desserts to make your event’s dessert table stand out. I was born into baking and while my love started as a way to satisfy my sweet tooth and cravings, it grew to a love of the artistry of baking, the experimentation of flavor profiles, and the desire to find new ways to design edible creations that were unique.

We’re so glad we hired Sweet Greene for our July wedding! We loved the flavor options (we went with lemon raspberry and pineapple coconut) and the quality certainly held up from the tasting to the finished product. Cheryl was super helpful in guiding and executing our design, and even did several phone consultations with us to confirm logistics and talk through the design process. Our cake was beautiful and delicious! And very reasonably priced for the area, especially with the excellent customer service and delivery and set up included. Definitely recommend!

My daughter and her husband chose Milton Ridge for their wedding venue. I live on the opposite coast so I had no opportunity to have a look myself. She and her husband were very happy with the layout of the property and the location. She assured me that staff were warm and friendly as well as very professional and that all questions were addressed promptly and in great detail. My daughter and her husband felt listened to and respected by everyone at Milton Ridge. I was anxious but it was their wedding and they had done a lot of research! I am overjoyed that they chose Milton Ridge for their very special day!! I spoke to many guests and family members that day and evening; everyone had high praise for the couple’s choice of venue. The property is self-contained with a beautiful turn of the century chapel on the lower level of the property and a very large bricked patio on the upper level; with an enormous wooden gazebo at one end and tiered garden area at the opposite end. Indoor or outdoor wedding?? Hard to choose as both areas are sooooo lovely. The Bridal suite and Grooms quarter are in a building adjacent to the chapel on the lower level of the property. Another turn of the century building with Bridal suite, porch and porch swing on the ground level and the Grooms quarters on the 2nd level via a private enclosed stairway; providing total privacy for both parties and their respective entourages. Both areas were very well appointed, comfortable and large; plenty of room for multiple people in each area to get ready for the big day! The Reception Hall was on the upper level with a porch and short stairway leading from the hall to the outdoor patio. The Hall was fresh and bright with plenty of room for DJ, tables, dance floor, bar and buffet without feeling overfilled or crowded. Bride and Groom chose the bar-b-que menu for their dinner; it was beautifully presented, delicious and plentiful. No one left Milton Ridge hungry that evening! The wait staff and bartenders were all very attentive and had obviously been very well trained at table service and bar service respectively. Music was provided by a DJ who was contracted by Milton Ridge and was included with the package that my daughter and her husband had chosen. The selection was a mix of old and new with the focus of getting the guests up and dancing. He was very good at his job and he accomplished his goal! Last but definitely not least; the photographer; also contracted with Milton Ridge! He was amazing!!! The unique shots, quality and beauty of his work left us speechless. He was everywhere, but never in the way, always inconspicuous and watching for that perfect candid shot. Even his posed photos had a very relaxed casual look about them. All photos were organized and available to the newlyweds on the Milton Ridge website within 10days of their wedding day!! ALL pictures belong to her and her husband to print, copy and share with whoever they wish!! Milton Ridge exceeded my expectation and I would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone!!

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.
