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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sweeney Barn was the perfect fit for our wedding day. Andrea was incredibly organized and responsive throughout the entire planning process, and she was always happy to answer questions from both my mother and me without hesitation. The space itself is stunning and didn't need much added to feel like an upscale venue as the chandeliers and openness of the structure provide a perfect backdrop. However, we did choose to add drapery and florals that enhanced the already beautiful space to exactly what wanted. We loved how versatile the barn was—we flipped the upstairs to work for both our ceremony and reception, while using the downstairs for cocktail hour, and this flexibility proved invaluable when the weather didn't cooperate on our day. The venue's requirements/preferred vendors work in favor for couples, or at least for us. Using a day-of coordinator as required, which I was hesitant about turned out to be one of the best decisions we made and we did this through Sublime Event Coordinator who worked with a preferred caterer, Genesis Delight Catering. Dianna at Sublime along with our day-of venue manager, Glynis, helped everything run smoothly and kept us stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Sweeney Barn and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a beautiful, well-run venue.

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 a dream to work with! She is a professional with a heart of gold and an incredible eye. She created the perfect environment for beautiful engagement and wedding photos for us. I love that she captured little moments of our wedding guests that any other photographer might’ve missed. She is awesome and I would so hire her again!!!

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!

Enchanted Garden did a great job! I tried to plan everything myself, but last minute realized we needed a day of planner! They did NOT disappoint!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Lana! From the moment we started, she made me feel completely at ease and truly listened to what I wanted. The result? I felt absolutely marvelous—stunning, confident, and more beautiful than I could have imagined. The makeup was flawless. She brought the exact vision we discussed to life, using colors that made my eyes pop in the most radiant way. The shadow choices were bright, bold, and so flattering—I honestly didn’t recognize myself in the best possible way when I looked in the mirror. It was like seeing the most glamorous version of me! And my hair? Absolute perfection. She followed my instructions to the letter, but also added her own professional touch to elevate the entire look. It held beautifully through the event and looked exactly how I dreamed it would. She is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, and such a calming presence to have around before an important occasion. I am so grateful and cannot wait to book her again for my next event!

The music she provided was beautiful and added such an elegant, memorable touch to the evening. Our attendees truly loved the experience; it elevated the entire event.

Dejane was wonderful to work with for our wedding at the Goodstone Inn in Middleburg. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and flexible throughout the process. We did a trial at my home and she thoughtfully adjusted everything to achieve the soft, natural look I wanted—perfect for the day. On the wedding morning she did my makeup, my mom’s, my sister’s, and even a light, age-appropriate touch for my 11-year-old niece. Everyone felt beautiful and comfortable, and the looks lasted flawlessly. I highly recommend her!

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!
