Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations. He was a blast to have around, he hyped us up, picked the perfect ways to capture our special day, and overall kept us on track throughout the day. We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever. Big thanks to Matt and Enchanted Celebration!

Working with Mandy was an absolute dream! For my makeup trial, I gave her a reference photo and she copied it exactly. She took my very minimal comments from the trial and implemented them perfectly for the big day—I’ve never felt so beautiful! I love Mandy’s style because I’m not someone who wears makeup regularly, and she made sure I still felt like myself. She enhanced all my features in such a natural, effortless way. My makeup put stayed all night and looked fantastic in photos. Mandy was also incredibly professional and organized. She provided a detailed timeline for myself, my bridal party, mom and (now) mother-in-law for the wedding day, which was so helpful for coordinating with my hair artist and keeping everything running smoothly. She was always prompt and responsive via email. I can’t recommend Mandy enough!

Alex & his team were absolutely amazing from the first meeting to the wedding! They worked with us throughout everything, the only DJ team that we met with that we genuinely laughed and felt super confident and comfortable with choosing! The weeks leading up to the wedding with planning and choosing our music, Alex was absolutely AMAZING! Giving us so many suggestions and ideas (he is truly talented!) The day of the wedding his team were on time and I didn’t have to worry about anything. They DID NOT disappoint when it came to the ceremony & reception. Me and my husband danced the entirety of the night and did not let one song go to waste! Everyone was out on the dance floor all night. Overall a 11/10!! The DJ Experience was absolutely amazing and we highly recommend
