If after the event has ended you are left feeling something greater than yourself, then we have done our job.

We hired Kelsey to assist with our event coordination for our April 2026 wedding. We had known Kelsey for years and were absolutely delighted when she took the leap of faith and started Kelsey Regina Events. This was, by far, one of the best wedding decisions we made. From the very beginning, Kelsey was incredibly organized, prompt, responsive, and so willing to assist with any questions or concerns. As we got closer to our event, she really took the burden off of us as we were preparing for our big day. She went above and beyond with her communication with our vendors, making sure she understood our vision, and tying up the loose ends so we could focus on the small details remaining. She was incredibly helpful as a sounding board when we needed to make a last minute decision regarding implementing our rain plan, something we ended up moving forward with that went incredibly smoothly. On the day of the event, Kelsey and her assistant, Carly, were absolute super stars. They were everywhere at once, but also right where they needed to be at any given moment. The tender love and care they gave to every moment and detail was highlighted throughout the day, and even complimented by many of our guests. They were timely, prepared, and ready for everything that day. Working with them will always be a highlight of our wedding day for years to come. We will be recommending Kelsey Regina Events to anyone we know getting married for forever.

The final product was simply stunning - the floral arrangements and abundance of candle varieties were fluid, lively, and highly creative, creating a natural, grounded space while still feeling elegant and timeless in Old Town. Sarena and her team were adaptive and worked quickly. The end result was better than what I envisioned, and a true friendship was formed through working together.

Booking with Black Tie Entertainment was the best choice we could have made. Our initial call with Matt Johnson to see what services were provided was an extremely thorough and engaging. My husband and I felt so comfortable with the services he recommended and appreciated the time he took to talk through typical timeline for DJs and coordinators leading up to the big day. We booked a DJ and month of coordinator and were wow’d. Our DJ, Chris Laing, was extremely professional in the way he led our introductory and timeline calls. He truly listened to what kind of vibe we wanted for our wedding and executed it perfectly. In the words of my husband, friends, and family, our wedding was lit! Our coordinator Becca Manning was very kind on our introduction call. Unfortunately, there was an error in the system and she was double booked but she found us the most amazing coordinator, Nikki Clark. Black Tie worked to get Nikki into their system so there was minimal impact to my husband and I plus we adored working with Nikki. Overall, my husband and I could not be happier with having booked with Black Tie Entertainment! 10/10 quality, people, and executions

I used Summit Events Co. for my December '24 wedding and could not recommend them more! DJ Ben was SO fun and really kept the party alive. He was such a pleasure to meet with ahead of time and asked us tons of questions to really understand our vision for the evening. He was truly a delight and even wore black, per my very annoying request :) He also had me get on the DJ board (just pretending) and it was a huge hit! Very fun, very adaptable! Summit Events Co. uses an app for all of your music and timeline needs and it was SUPER easy to use. It connects to Spotify, Youtube, and a few other platforms so I could just upload my playlists I had already worked on and it made everything really fast. We also got a photobooth which was AMAZING. It's hard to know when planning a wedding what is worth the extra cost but this hands down was worth it. Our attendant was such an angel and multiple people came up to me after to tell me how cool she was! Their pricing is super reasonable - very in line with other vendors I found and Ben was able to accommodate our specific budget while still making our vision come to life. Overall I would highly, HIGHLY recommend Summit Events Co!

Rita and her team did a great job with the hair and makeup for my wedding in November 2024. She was very responsive during the booking process, everything was very clear and seamless. The trial went well and she made sure that I liked how everything looked. Everything on the day of the wedding looked as expected based on the trial. I hardly ever wear makeup and asked for a more natural look and it turned out perfect! I also have fine hair and was worried about having volume, but Rita was able to make my hair look thicker than it is. Both the hair and makeup lasted all night and still looked good after being done around 12pm. We had 6 people getting services and everything was done on time by Rita and her assistant, she provided a schedule so that I was able to let people know when they could arrive. I would recommend Rita to anyone looking for wedding hair and makeup services, she was a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

Cassidy put together the florals for our wedding this weekend. We ordered arbor flowers that Cassidy recycled to our cake and sweetheart table. Unfortunately the wind during the first half of our reception was a little WILD so my current photos of that aren’t able to do it justice until my photos come in. However, I have some photos of the flowers before I sent them off for preservation as well. We also used Cassidy for rentals of pillar candles and bud vases. She assembled those and had welcome table greens for us, my bouquet, and my husband’s boutonniere. I was constantly adding things to the list like some spray flowers for my photographers for my flat lays. But she managed it. Cassidy attended our walk through to make sure that she saw the property and knew where our flowers would be doing. She provided some inspiration photos based on what I wanted and she delivered on that for sure! I think the centerpieces in particular were EXACTLY what I was looking for. She really nailed those and they turned out beautifully. When we didn’t know what we wanted or struggled to get a good vision going, she made some suggestions and went through the pros and cons with me of options. It was great to get her input on things and also trust her perspective as it relates to florals. Thank you so much for a great day!

Dreaming of vibrant, whimsical wedding photos with no travel fees? Hi, I'm Sophia! Capturing love stories through my lens is not just a job but a profound joy that I cherish with every wedding I photograph. It's been six years and I've photographed close to 100 weddings which seems unreal! The photography gene runs in my family, my great-grandfather had his own photography studio in Panama and from there, knowledge of photography was passed down through the generations of my family to me. I believe in always having fun and prioritizing an stress-free lifestyle which translates into my photography style — candid, authentic, and joyful.

We’re a collaborative team of filmmakers and photographers who live for making amazing things for the world’s most friggin’ amazing couples.

So, we grew our team and that’s when things really started to come to life.

We had the absolute best experience working with the Paperboys team for our wedding photography and videography! We knew since our engagement photoshoot session with John that he would be a dream to work with on our big day. He instantly grasped our vibe and leaned into our ideas, which resulted in our stunning engagement photos at the Great Falls location he took us to! His energy made every moment enjoyable, and we felt completely at ease in front of the camera.   On our wedding day, John teamed up with our lead videographer, Logan, and together they were the perfect duo! Their complementary styles added a sense of lighthearted fun and joy to the otherwise chaotic bustle of the day. You could really tell they are professionals at what they do; they effortlessly captured our vision with just a few short words we gave them to describe the mood we wanted to feel when looking back at our wedding photos and videos. When we received our sneak peek photos and teaser video shortly after the wedding, we were truly at a loss for words. Every shot reflected the emotions we experienced that day, and we are so excited to see what else they have in store for us! Thank you, Paperboys, for preserving our special day in such a beautiful and cinematic way. We will cherish these memories forever!!

Alysa was so flexible and easygoing to work with, and the photos were gorgeous! She was extremely punctual in terms of timing and getting the photos to us as promised. On the day of, she was great about accommodating some last minute requests/extra photos and was creative in finding a great space for family photos when outside wasn’t going to work. The value was incredible and I would 10/10 recommend her services.

Fueled by equal parts sweet tea and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations on the front porch. In the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.

Melisa photographed our wedding three years ago and we loved her so much we had her do our maternity photos! She made us feel so comfortable and we loved our pictures!

I cannot recommend Day enough! She was absolutely amazing: attentive, patient, and so warm and friendly throughout the entire process. From the trial to both of my wedding celebrations, she took the time to really understand the look I wanted (even when I had a hard time putting it to words) and wasn’t afraid to wipe and redo when I wanted to try a few different options. She spent so much care perfecting not only my look but also everyone else’s, and we all had such wonderful experiences with her. The products she used were high quality, and my makeup felt light even after 15 hours of wear, it stayed flawless through all the happy tears! If you’re considering her, don’t hesitate. 100% recommend!

I had K&K Music Entertainment provide DJ and MC services for my wedding. Kevin was great with coordinating with the other vendors to ensure that the ceremony and timeline went smoothly. He curated a wonderful list of music that encompassed the vision I had for my ceremony and the music for the reception was perfect for keeping people up and on the dance floor! I cannot recommend Kevin enough! Thank you so much for helping make my wedding perfect!
