Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding at Meyer's Castle was nothing short of magical, and we owe so much of that to our incredible coordinator, Eva.

From day one, Eva was organized, thoughtful, and so genuinely caring. She made sure every detail was in place and that everything ran smoothly--not just behind the scenes, but for me personally as the bride. The day was beautiful, but hot, and Eva went above and beyond to make sure I stayed comfortable and calm. At one point when I was feeling overheated, she literally helped pin my hair up herself. That kind of kindness, grace, and hands-on support is something I'll never forget.

Meyer's Castle was the most stunning backdrop to our big day. The grounds are breathtaking, the atmosphere is so elegant, and our guests were completely blown away by the beauty of it all. Every part of the venue felt like it was straight out of a fairytale--from the ceremony setting to the castle charm that made the whole day feel surreal.

I truly can't imagine having done this without Eva by our side. She was a calm in the chaos, a true professional, and someone who genuinely cared about making our day perfect.

If you're thinking about booking Meyer's Castle--do it. And if you're lucky enough to have Eva as your coordinator, just know you're in the best hands. I'll be forever grateful for her and this dreamy venue that brought our love story to life.

Thank you, Eva & Meyer's Castle, for a day we'll cherish forever!

Fair Oaks Farms was a nice venue for our wedding, though their communication style was a bit minimal on the actual wedding day. The quality of their work and value was very nice - the servers were attentive and helpful throughout the evening. However, when our official reception time was up at 11pm, the staff turned on all the lights and rushed us to gather our belongings and vacate the reception hall immediately. This made the end of our special night feel a bit abrupt and hurried. Overall, Fair Oaks Farms provided a pleasant setting for our wedding, but could improve the communication and transition at the end of the night.

I take great pride- and an immense amount of pleasure- in working with brides. Imagine being able to redo your own wedding time and time and time again- I treat each client’s event the way I would take care of my own. I own the initiative down to the smallest detail. If it’s not good enough for me it certainly isn’t good enough for you! Every couple deserves to see their vision brought to life in the best way possible, and have a sense of accomplishment at the end of the night. I love being able to bring you over the finish line strong and leave you with lasting memories!

I felt my head spinning the weeks leading up to the wedding. Luckily Jessica remained so calm and collected the entire time. She was reassuring, and followed up multiple times just to check in. She had a natural touch for decor that made my wedding visions come true. She was vocal when necessary (I can sometimes be looked over when trying to give instructions - but Jessica did the work for me). I was on the fence about hiring a day of coordinator because of our tight budget but I was advised more often than not that a DOC is NECESSARY. I'm so glad we went ahead with one because I felt like I relaxed the whole day thanks to Jessica. She was a boss, incredibly professional, and yet still so friendly.

Snapping photos has always been important to me. I'm sure 12 year old me would absolutely LOSE it if she knew this would be the start of something amazing. 6 years in - 75+ weddings of all sizes and hundreds of love stories documented and no signs of stopping anytime soon.

Hey! I'm Ashley, a laid-back photographer who's been capturing memories for five years. I’m all about making clients feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. I love metalcore, punk, and alternative music, and when I’m not shooting, I’m probably playing video games or reading romance novels. At home, I’m soaking up time with my husband, our son, and our sassy dachshund. Photography’s always been my favorite gig there’s just something magical about turning real, raw moments into lasting memories.

Over the last two years Ashley has done three sessions for us (couples, engagement, and wedding!) and every single time we’ve just been blown away. My husband and I are extremely awkward individuals and had never had professional photos taken before, and Ashley made it SO easy for us and the pictures she captured were nothing short of amazing. Wedding planning is stressful enough as it is and Ashley made sure that we had all the specific shots/poses we wanted for our day. She was super organized and I had no worries about missing any parts of our wedding. My husband and I were talking about all the decisions we made for our wedding, and having Ash photograph our special day was at the top of our list. We love all of our beautiful pictures so much and we can’t thank you enough for capturing all of our special moments.

I document love for a living, and what drives me is capturing authenticity in the moments that I am privileged to become a part of with my clients. I've been photographing weddings for over a decade. I know how to make you look good, and how to take away the "overwhelmed" fake vibe most couples feel and replace it with meaningful photos in 1/250 of a second.

With the day just being insane. There were so many times Kay checked in on me which made me to make sure I was okay, really made me take a breath throughout the day and made me feel special. We did our engagement pictures at a brewery and she was super creative with the pictures. For our wedding day I sent her my Pinterest board and she went for all the pictures I wanted. I’m so excited to see what they all look like. Even her second shooter seemed like she was everywhere. Start to finish the whole process was so easy to work with Kay. With so many vendors having one you vibe with is important and it was all there. 10/10 recommend her, & the team she has.

I love to create… I’m in my happy place when I’m able to create. My career in floral design started while I was still in college obtaining a business degree. Like a lot of college students, I spent my summer interning in an office environment…and quickly realized that wasn’t how I wanted to live my life. I needed something different, something that would allow me to more fully utilize my creativity and desire to design. When I returned to campus in the fall, I started working part time at a small floral shop. It wasn’t long before I knew I’d found my love and my passion.

We used Lori for our wedding and I’m so glad we did! After our initial meeting to go over my ideas, she created this beautiful vision board / proposal combo complete with inspiration pictures, our color palette, and different arrangement options we could choose from. That made me feel so confident that she got my vision too and that we would end up loving the final product on our big day. The day of the wedding, the florals were absolutely beautiful and she took care of full set up and then tear down at the end of the evening. I got many compliments on my bouquet throughout the evening, and overall couldn’t be happier with the florals and services Lori provided!
