From the start, they were respectful, responsive, and friendly in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. Their patience and approachable demeanor made them a perfect fit for our special day. They captured all the special moments from when we exchanged vows, our first dance, cake cutting, and our grand exit. The quality of their work was excellent, especially considering how affordable their services were. We opted for their video package and were thrilled with the final product.

Hi, I'm Emily - a journalism major drop-out turned wedding photographer that loves all things editorial and story telling. Think back to any impactful photo you've seen in the media, the key to remembering it is that it made you *feel* something, and that's what I strive to bring forward in the wedding photography industry.

My husband and I ended up booking with Emily Michelle Photography pretty last minute and let me tell you, her and her team did not disappoint!! I was in a panic trying to get all of my vendors taken care of and after contacting Emily I felt like I was able to take a deep breath! Although it was last minute, she was able to get two of her amazing photographers together and make sure I was taken care of! Her team was fantastic, so helpful and sweet! All of my bridesmaids and guests loved both photographers! I was so impressed after my wedding night and once I got my photos back, I was in shock! I knew they would be good but I was blown away with all of the photos they got and how beautiful the quality was. I will be recommending her and her team to everyone!! I would 1000% choose Emily over and over again!

A.M. Productions 
Rating: 5.0 (27 reviews)
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Highlands, TX

A.M. Productions is the only Houston Wedding DJ & Entertainment company that provides talented DJs with a boutique style approach for couples who want a packed dance floor and a memorable wedding, in the era of cheesy wedding djs. We aren’t your average wedding DJ. We’re passionate, innovative and unique professional entertainers. If you want to learn more about how we can make your wedding Easy, Stress-Free and Memorable, call or email us.

Don't think twice - book A.M. Productions for your wedding now!! We knew how crucial it was to book the right DJ & entertainment to deliver the energy we wanted for our wedding and they EXCEEDED our expectations. We got married in April 2025 and had DJ Forum (Alex) mixing and emceeing. Aaron (the owner) also graciously came through to ensure a smooth event. We came to learn about A.M. through a recommendation from our wedding planner. It was also validating to later see them on our venue's (The Peach Orchard) preferred vendor list! During consultation, we were drawn to their extensive services/add-ons, quality of work, and competitive pricing. We selected their Super Star package (most popular) and chose subwoofers and advanced uplighting. We also added on their photo booth which was exactly what we needed - a backdrop, self-service, no props, digital gallery, present the entire wedding, and the convenience of having it handled by the same team. Leading up to our wedding day, the A.M. production team were well-organized and provide you with a wealth of tips, resources, and instructions. We filled out their comprehensive "Wedding DJ Planner" sheet that helps them prepare and provided them playlists of 10-15 songs each for cocktail hour, dinner service, and dance floor (we used Spotify) to help inspire the mood/energy we were looking for. The wedding day was FLAWLESS! They went above and beyond, surprising us with moving heads AND a CO2 gun which was a crowd favorite. DJ Forum read the crowd amazingly and his mixes were fire. Our guests spoke very highly of them - with some intending to book A.M. for their own weddings in the future! For a complete package of professional lighting, sound, photobooth, energy, service, and more - book A.M. productions with confidence!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts on making our special day a moment to forever look back on with smiles all around!

Let me first say this venue is absolutely stunning! My fiance' and I were looking for a place that needed minimal decor and we stunted across Ashton Gardens will looking through The Knot. The chapel is gorgeous and the windows really do set the tone for an elegant wedding! The reception hall which is just a few steps away is equally beautiful, not needing really anything at all to enhance the look. My wedding planner is Sheila and she has been fabulous along the way. With the being my FIRST and ONLY marriage, I have so many questions and believe me I had emailed Sheila probably more than I text my fiance, but she is super sweet and has answered every question I had without any hesitation. The service is amazing and I really could have not prayed for a better venue; mind you I looked at 30 locations across the Texas area.

  • Serves Highlands, TX

My name is Renee and I am a hairstylist with over 10yrs of experience. I graduated from Baytown Lee in the cosmetology program in 2010. I have worked with many professionals on movie sets, music videos and plays. Out of all the experience I have had nothing has given me more meaning and excites me about doing hair then getting a bride ready for her groom. My business is now dedicated to traveling to wedding venues to take care of brides and her bridal party. I love to interact with people and show my creativity with all hair types through my work.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t have chosen a better hairstylist to make my wedding style come to life. I was Renee’s first destination bride and she went above and beyond my expectations. She brought a comfortable, home-like, loving experience to my wedding experience. I received hair styles for an event I had with my bridal party, my welcome party, and my wedding day, & to say I loved all three styles would be an UNDERSTATEMENT. Renee truly brought my confidence up another notch for the best days of my life. She was very accommodating, passionate, and caring to all of my needs and my bridal party’s’. She made the biggest sacrifice taking my wedding contract, with my wedding day being her youngest & only daughter’s birthday & I will forever be grateful for that. She had every woman feeling so beautiful on my wedding day, especially my mom and that warmed my heart. Renee is truly a God send, she always helped when I would feel so defeated, so much so she introduced me to my makeup artist for my wedding, because the closer my date got I was in a horrific panic that I wouldn’t find one to fit my budget and Renee made sure I wouldn’t stress any further about it. There is so much more I can say, but what I want every future bride to know is you TRULY will be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t hire Renee to be your wedding day/ bridal hairstylist.

My Make-Up journey started 8 years ago when my moms client asked me to do makeup for her wedding. Since I always did mine she figured I could do her’s and that was a No. I had never done anyone but myself. After a little convincing I did 3 Foundation Matches on her to make sure I had the right color. After that wedding I began to take classes because I knew if I wanted to be a great artist I would have to learn the skill and understand the business. Taking the degree in Marketing that I had earned from Texas Southern University and the Master’s in Business Administration i poured it all in to my new established business .

We got married in April here and it was amazing! The venue is beautiful and there is a lot of space. My planner, Madison, was very helpful during the process and would answer any questions I had. Our coordinators Janeen and Jackie were awesome! They helped make the day flow perfectly and if we needed anything they were on top of it! The DJ was great as well and was included in the package. The only compliant I have was that they ran out of food even though less people showed up then in our final guest count. We got the steak option and it was delicious but the portions they gave out were small and they somehow still ran out...

  • Serves Highlands, TX

Hey there! I'm Manny, based in Houston, TX. Since 2020, I've been capturing authentic moments—those real, raw, joyful times that make your wedding day uniquely yours. From slipping into your wedding dress to laughing with your best friend and dancing all night, I'll be your #1 sidekick with a camera. I believe love is colorful, messy, full of electric laughter, stolen kisses, and maybe a cheeky butt grab or two. If that sounds like you, I’m your photographer. Let’s connect and start planning your forever and always. At Manuel Ayala Photography, we believe "Y’all means All."

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Manny was probably the best decision we could've made for our wedding day. We happened to snag a free engagement photoshoot from him while he was traveling in our area, and we didn't expect to book him for our wedding because he lived out of state, so we assumed that flying him out would be too expensive. However, when we were looking for DC-based photographers, we weren't finding anyone who had the bright, joyful style that we saw in Manny's photos, and all the local photographers were SO expensive anyway. So, we decided to reach out to Manny to see if we could work something out, and thank goodness we did!! Manny helped create a custom package that worked within our budget, and then he exceeded all of his promises anyway. He delivered more photos than promised, faster than promised. The night of our wedding, he had posted a cute informal video compilation on his Instagram (we hadn't purchased videography). He had sneak peeks ready ahead of schedule, and there were so many! He surprised us with a second shooter (a friend of his who is also a wedding photographer), polaroids, and even some drone photography of our venue. Best of all, the photos were absolutely beautiful. They captured every important moment, and everything looked just as beautiful and joyful as they felt on that day. The editing was flattering without being overdone. For example, my wife and I both had slightly different shades of white outfits--mine being ivory and hers being pure white--and I can tell from the guest photos that that didn't photograph well, with the bright August sun creating a blue light effect on the pure white outfit. But, Manny obviously took the time to edit every photo painstakingly, because his photos still look perfect. We cherish every one of them and have looked at them again and again. My wife's parents (who are very particular) were so impressed with the photos that they've also considered booking him for future anniversary shoots. I think the most important thing I can say about Manny is that he obviously loves his job. With the kind of happiness that he radiates and the way he goes above and beyond without being asked, you can just see that this is more than work to him. He loves to celebrate love. If you've taken the time to read this review, please go ahead and book with Manny. I promise you won't regret it!

We had the pleasure of working with Eddy for both our engagement and wedding photos and video, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From the beginning, Eddy was incredibly understanding, flexible, and professional. He really took the time to listen to our ideas and made sure our vision came to life. One of the reasons we chose Eddy was because he’s bilingual and has experience shooting in churches—something that was important to us. Throughout the entire process, he made us feel comfortable and relaxed, which meant a lot, especially since my husband and I don’t usually take a lot of pictures. The final photos and video truly captured the essence of our special day. We now have beautiful memories that we can look back on for years to come. We highly recommend Eddy Herrera for any engagement or wedding photography—he exceeded our expectations in every way!

The overall service was incredible - the staff was friendly, interactive, and went above and beyond to ensure our guests had a great experience. I would definitely recommend The Bar Baby for any wedding or event. Their great customer service and high-quality work made them an invaluable part of our special day.

Katy, Texas, is home to the service of DJ Charlie Entertainment, a company that specializes in all types of weddings and offers excellent add-ons! DJ Charlie is Bilingual in English and Spanish, with over 10 years of experience in weddings! DJ Charlie is also well-versed in all genres and takes pride in getting every guest onto the dance floor to celebrate the newlyweds.

We absolutely ADORE Carlos Ramirez and his Photo Booth Assistant, Sofia! It was sheer luck that we found him, and he was absolutely perfect in every way. Carlos made contact with us regularly, walked us through how to use the Vibo app, worked with our venue coordinators at Crystal Ballroom at the Rice (Alexis Kent), worked with our planners at Whimsical Creative (Jen Molina), had a week-of call to finalize details and asked us all the right questions, listened to all our needs, and gave great suggestions for things that made our night special that never would have even occurred to us! Oh… and the lighting he provided in the ballroom was spectacular! Our venue and planner are even adding him to their preferred vendor list, which makes me so happy to know. I really can’t praise Carlos and Sofia enough! They read the crowd with perfect accuracy. The dance floor was never empty, and the photo booth was in constant use. Our guests had an absolute blast! Carlos is not only a great artist but now a new friend. If you’re lucky enough to see this post and want more detailed feedback, please DM me on Facebook and put - DJ CHARLIE ENTERTAINMENT in the first line so I’ll notice it.

With Kaity Campbell Events, you will have a truly luxurious customer experience from the moment you sign your contract all the way up to your event day, and even beyond. We believe that every wedding should be a reflection of your unique love story, and we are here to ensure that every detail is perfectly tailored to your desires. Our passion for creating unforgettable experiences, combined with our industry expertise, allows us to curate a seamless and stress-free wedding day that exceeds your expectations. Being able to create an event that is truly yours, and has all the elements you care about, is why I started doing what I do.

Kaity did a great job, especially considering all the uncertainty of bad weather (my ceremony was outdoors) we had to all deal with. She always had an upbeat and positive attitude the whole time, which I know can be very difficult to do around my family. She definitely would just roll with all the punches to keep us on track. I was anxious the entire day, but Kaity reassured me that she had everything under control and I knew I could trust her. She even went out of her way to get me and my husband little care packages on the day of, with inspiring notes. The only hiccups I actually noticed was with announcements and speeches, because the volume and echo was not great, so people didn't know when things were actually happening, so I wish we could've told the DJ sooner to fix the issue. We had also wanted to have our dinners boxed up, because my husband and I were both too anxious and excited to really eat, so our food ended up being thrown away, plus we didn't receive the top tier of our wedding cake to save for the tradition thing (but my guess is because they served it all to the guests). Unfortunately, at the end of the night, we were super rushed to get everything out of the building, because of the time and the pouring rain- I was running around barefoot in my dress while my husband was passed out in the car, and I was one of the few trying to get everything packed and cleaned up. However, Kaity and her husband really helped us out by collecting all the left items and holding onto them for us until the next day. She kept in contact, since at least a month beforehand, to make sure we had everything in order and sent her all the vendor contacts , so she could be included with all the day-of plans. She really did go above and beyond to make sure I had the best day possible, and I really appreciated that from her. I would definitely hire her again.

Velura Events was absolutely phenomenal to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was direct and clear, which we really appreciated as it helped us stay organized and on track. The quality of their work and overall value was excellent and superior. Rincy, our lead planner, made me feel like I was in a dream all day long because the Velura team handled every detail so seamlessly.
