“If you’re lucky enough to have Billy available for your day, book him immediately!!! From the moment we met him, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend — the kind who instantly makes you laugh, puts you at ease, and somehow reads your mind when it comes to what you want captured. We were in Niagara Falls for our destination wedding, so we didn’t get the chance to meet Billy beforehand, and honestly? We were a little nervous about that at first! But once the day arrived, we genuinely forgot we had just met him. That’s how effortlessly he blended in and made us feel comfortable. Not only is he ridiculously talented (our photos are jaw-droppingly good — like, how is this our real life?!), but his creative eye and attention to detail are on another level. He floated around our wedding with multiple cameras like a storytelling ninja, never missing a beat, a tear, or an unhinged dance move. And the best part? Billy made it all so fun. He wasn’t just our photographer — he was our hype man, our calm in the chaos, and honestly, a big part of why our day felt so joyful and relaxed. His energy is contagious, and his passion for what he does absolutely shines through in every single photo. Bonus: He has a little surprise he likes to share during dinner — it’s amazing, and I won’t spoil it for you… but trust me, you’ll love it. If you want someone wildly talented, genuinely kind, and just plain fun to be around — Billy is your guy. We’re still absolutely blown away by his work, and we’ll be raving about him for years to come”

“I hired Jaimie to photograph my microwedding in Ellicottville on 9/27/25 after seeing her portfolio on Instagram. My wedding was almost totally DIY, and I had 30 guests. Jaimie and I spoke several times over the course of my wedding planning, and not only did she help me plan photo locations/shotlists, but she truly acted as my unofficial wedding coordinator of her own volition. I cannot stress enough that I couldn't have pulled off such a perfect wedding without Jaimie having been a part of it. Jaimie just sent me sneak peek photos of my day, and I was floored. My father called her extremely talented, my best friends told me they couldn't have imagined better photos in their heads, and my husband says she alleviated all of his concerns on the day by taking charge and helping us to pose for the most romantic shots I've ever seen. Every guest loved her, and I couldn't ask for a more professional and spectacular photographer for capturing the best day of my life. I am 100% going to be hiring her for all of my future professional photoshoots. Thank you Jaimie for going above and beyond to ensure my day was so special.”

“Tyler flew out to shoot our wedding in SLC. I could sit here and tell you all the normal stuff, like how friendly he is, or how proactive he is, or how he makes everyone (even somehow miraculously my wife's grandma) feel comfortable on camera, or how his style is cinematic but still keeps the bright, happy, fun vibe of the day, or how my wife still raves out our wedding video as one of her favorite keepsakes from the wedding. I could tell you all of those things, and they are true, but that should all be obvious from his portfolio and his other reviews. Instead, I'll tell you a quick story that shows you who he actually is. On the way to our reception we ended up getting a flat tire (someone other than Tyler was driving, for the record). I was in my suit and my wife was in her dress and so neither of us were exactly thrilled about the idea of crawling around in the gutter on our wedding day. Without a second thought, Tyler jumped out and volunteered to change the tire for us. No one asked him to. That's not in his job description. He just did it, and wore a smile the entire time. That's just the kind of guy he is! We ended up making the reception on time thanks to him. I tend to be a pretty harsh critic and basically never rate anything full points, but Tyler is the rare exception who genuinely earns a 10/10. You won't regret booking him!”

The quality of their work and the value they provided was outstanding - they were so energetic and attentive to even the smallest details that made our day special.

They also helped us transition the dance floor in a really fun way, going from a slow song to an upbeat one that got everyone dancing.

“We had the absolute pleasure of Chris Morris from Buffaluv soundz DJing our wedding this July. Everything from the initial consultation to the last hours he was there cleaning up his equipment was a great experience in which we felt true dedication from him and his team towards making our day perfect. They were extremely down to earth and easy to work with. Chris helped personalize so many touches within our day from a unique first dance to hyping our folks up for the dance floor. He was so extraordinarily professional arriving very early to set up and make sure everything was perfect and checking in with us in regard to all sorts of details that really brought our dreams to reality. I can’t say enough about what a difference it made to have such an attentive to detail and caring person in charge of the sound, music and overall vibe of our wedding day. There was nothing generic, boring or overdone and every moment felt like it was truly ours. Chris is the best! I would recommend him to everyone! we went with a package that included the Photo Booth and Cloud effect for the dance floor which made our first dance so fire! Everyone really loved the Photo Booth. They had great props and backgrounds and they even gave us a photo album filled with our guest pics. That was an awesome surprise at the end of the night. Lastly, I just have to add, I was worried about DJ equipment and the look of it and the whole set up that Chris brought was gorgeous modern white, clean and elegant. We were so impressed! It really added to our aesthetic perfectly. Overall, they were just an absolute 10 out of 10 and made our wedding a fairytale come true!”

Our guests have non-stopped talked about Michael from our wedding. If you want a ton of excitement, with a feel of live music entertainment, you HAVE to book Michael. He truly is worth every penny, not to mention he’s the nicest guy on earth. There were guests at my wedding getting married this year who were begging their significant other to let Michael do their wedding!!! Booking Michael for our wedding was hands down the best decision we made, and he truly made our experience 10,0000 times better than I could’ve imagined. The energy, the personal touch, the “mix” (we told him we did not want back to back songs playing & he mixed the CRAP out of our music it was AMAZING). Incredible. He is truly phenomenal, and the best part is he’s so passionate about what he does. I could literally go on forever. BOOK MICHAEL FOR YOUR EVENT. It will literally be the best party of your life, I promise you!! He will make sure your day is perfect. Michael - THANK YOU for making our wedding day perfect. IT WAS INCREDIBLE! I cannot recommend you enough. We literally love you so much!”

Half of the event occurs before anyone steps on the dance floor. Live sax music sets that special atmosphere for life's most important party.

Musicians make excellent DJs because their training enables them to accurately hear a song in their head, so they can choose the right transition to inspire renewed dancing excitement. And instead of annoying talk stating the obvious, Saxman Slim prefers to let the mix speak for itself, commercial-free.

From our first conversation, they were incredibly understanding, nice, and thorough in understanding our music preferences and vision for the reception.

“I cannot say enough great things about Lindsay as our wedding photographer. She has such a talent for capturing emotion and truly telling the story of your wedding day through her photos. So many of her photos bring me right back to how I was feeling in those moments. She shoots a perfect blend of traditional portraits and the candid "in-between" memories. She captures details and moments that you never even realized she was there to catch. During the formal portraits she does a great job helping you feel comfortable and giving posing directions. However, I truly think she stands apart because of her ability to capture “real” moments and be discreet during parts of the day where she isn't explicitly giving direction, while still getting every aspect you could want (e.g. during the ceremony, dance floor, etc.). She has some angles of our ceremony that I still don’t know how she was able to capture them, we didn’t even notice she was right there! Her work truly speaks for itself. I am so very grateful that we chose her to photograph our wedding and that we have continued to work with her in the years since our wedding for our maternity, newborn and family photos. Lindsay has truly become a friend in the process of being our wedding photographer. I recommend her to all of my friends who are planning their weddings and I look forward to working with her in the future.”

The beautiful moments that we share with others are those that make our lives rich and meaningful. Being truly present with people and using the camera to share their essence is what I'm all about. For over 10 years I have been honored to photograph weddings for couples from around the world. It is a joy to be a part of each one of them as every moment of the day is brimming with a certain golden, shimmering happiness. I am committed to telling the story of your love, naturally and elegantly.

“When we were researching photographers for our wedding, I wanted to find someone whose photos told a beautiful story from start to finish. I found Tara through raving reviews online and after our initial meeting, she made her way out to Washington DC to shoot our engagement pictures. One pandemic and a full calendar year and some change later, we met again for our wedding day in Cleveland, Ohio. Words cannot express how wonderful Tara and Matt were. Tara's serene demeanor and Matt's easy-going personality made our wedding day a breeze. I very distinctly remember calling her two days before to iron out last-minute changes on my part and telling her how much calmer I was just hearing her voice. Tara has a way of capturing memories in the most beautiful way. Her photos are not only gorgeous, but looking at one single photo, she captures the energy and emotion in that moment. It's very clear she takes much pride in her work and treats her clients as family. There is no one else Jonathan and I would trust to capture the most precious and important memories in our lives than Tara.”

“Emily and Joelle were incredible! They made me and my bridesmaids look and feel beautiful. They asked questions about skin type, regular makeup routines, and what everyone wanted so everyone felt comfortable and like themselves throughout the day. The makeup stayed perfectly throughout the whole night. We also had so much fun with them while they were doing our makeup - we were all laughing and chatting and it really set the morning off right!

“We had our wedding at Events at Pearl Street in The Webb, and truly could not have been happier with our experience. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous — the exposed brick, huge arched doorways, original wood, warm lighting, and historic character were the perfect backdrop for the romantic, vintage-inspired wedding we envisioned. I had a pretty specific decorating vision, and it wasn’t necessarily a traditional one. We used tons of ferns and greenery, brass candlesticks and candelabras, candles, vintage gold details, family photographs, and bowls of fruit as our centerpieces rather than traditional floral arrangements. I gave the team fairly detailed instructions for how I wanted everything arranged, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations. They didn’t just put our decorations out — everything felt thoughtfully styled. The little finishing touches they added made the entire space feel cohesive and intentional. We had several meetings leading up to the wedding to work through the décor and all of the smaller details, and I really appreciated how willing they were to help us create something that felt personal to us. The finished room didn’t feel remotely like a cookie-cutter wedding. Even a friend of ours who works professionally in events was incredibly impressed with the aesthetic and how beautifully everything was executed. The food was AMAZING and was one of the things we heard about most from our guests afterward. Everyone raved about it. The dessert bar was fantastic, and I cannot recommend the late-night snack station enough. We did pizza, wings, and pretzels, and it was a huge hit. The drinks were great as well. I also really want to mention how well they accommodated dietary restrictions. My brother has celiac disease — he isn’t simply gluten-free by preference, and avoiding cross-contact is extremely important for him. The team was able to provide gluten-free food for him while taking his celiac disease seriously, and he was able to eat at our wedding without having any symptoms afterward. Anyone with celiac disease knows how stressful eating at a large catered event can be, so having him be able to safely enjoy dinner with everyone else meant a lot to us. Another huge bonus is the location for photography. There are so many completely different backdrops right outside the venue — historic architecture, downtown streets and cityscapes, beautiful buildings, and green spaces. We were able to get everything from elegant architectural portraits to downtown photos to pictures surrounded by greenery without having to travel elsewhere. Most importantly, the Pearl Street team gave us the flexibility to make the wedding genuinely feel like ours. We had a somewhat unconventional aesthetic and a lot of little details that mattered to us, and they took our ideas seriously and executed them beautifully. Walking into the finished space and seeing everything together exceeded what I had pictured in my head. The venue was beautiful, the food was fantastic, and our guests had an amazing time. We would absolutely recommend Events at Pearl Street and The Webb to anyone looking for a Buffalo wedding venue with character, great food, and a team that can help bring a unique vision to life.”
