Kim calls herself an honorary bridesmaid but she is so much more. She is a florist, a seamstress, a miracle worker and a friend to everyone she meets. I had a vision for my wedding day and Kim executed it flawlessly. She not only made the day run smoothly, but set up all of my favors, stationery and even the bud vases she made exactly how I pictured it! We had some fashion emergencies and Kim literally saved the day by sowing on straps to make a dress that wouldn’t zip finally close. I cannot rave about Kim enough!! We got endless compliments about our day and it would have been impossible without her. Kim is worth every single penny and then some.

  • Not wheelchair accessible
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've been a photographer for almost 6 years - almost 3 years FULL TIME! As a kid/teen, concerts were (and still are) my home. I was gifted a point and shoot camera for Christmas one year and to remember the moment, I'd bring it to every concert I went to. Eventually, I'd bring it to every sleepover and event. 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.

Megan is a go with the flow, roll with the punches kind of photographer which helped me feel so supported on my wedding day. She took all of my requests into consideration to see my vision and the photos prove it. Meg is the BEST and you will not regret booking with her.

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.

I am so obsessed with how my flowers turned out! They were so beyond perfect! I keep getting so many compliments on them when I show people my wedding photos. I decided to dry and press them myself and they came out beautifully! I can't say enough great things about La Petite!

Awarded Best of Zola
David and his crew at Epic Entertainment were absolutely amazing! The setup was gorgeous, the mix of music was great, and everyone had a great time! We were still getting compliments WEEKS later about how much fun our reception was, thanks to them! Highly highly highly recommend David and his crew for all of your dj needs (psst, he does videography too!)!!
