We were thrilled with The Gallagher as our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was clear, direct, and thoughtful. The venue itself is stunning and they were very accommodating to make our vision a reality. Our day-of coordinator Jenna was fantastic - she made sure everything ran smoothly so my husband and I could relax and enjoy our special day. Guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. Even though it was a hot July day, The Gallagher kept us comfortable with their climate control.

We absolutely loved working with soundwave DJ and photo!! They are very responsive and made my dance floor dreams come true! The DJ called me before the wedding and we went over “must plays” and “do not plays.” That was very important to me. The dance floor was crowded all night long and guests were chanting for “one more song” when the night was over. Our photos turned out beautiful. Every moment was captured. Truly the night of our dreams! Would most definitely recommend-in fact-several of my friends have used this company and were just as happy!

I started Candidly Kierra Productions because I believe every love story deserves to be perfectly captured and cherished for a lifetime. Photos capture one moment in time, video lets you relive the memory. Capturing raw, unscripted moments and turning them into heartfelt films is my true passion. Every wedding, every love story, every couple has a unique story to be told. Allow me the honor of helping you tell yours.

I have seen the work Kierra produces and watched the reactions of the couples and families who relive the moments of there wedding day. What separates Kierra from the rest, is her ability to tell the story of the day by lingering longer on the moments and details that made it special. Other wedding videographers are efficient and can produce a video of highlights of what happens that day. Kierra takes a level of care that I have not seen anywhere else. not just a highlight of the events that transpired but to tell the story of each individual couple so that you can relive the emotions of that day forever! I highly recommend Candidly Kierra Productions.

Lisa went above and beyond with every detail. She made sure my dress was positioned properly, she helped my awkward self know what to do when posing, she was so personable, and went the extra mile to keep me comfortable and feeling confident. After I made a comment about “my good side” she made sure I was always posing in ways that emphasized my good side. After receiving my preview I was so happy with how the photos came out. The pictures were clear and vibrant. She even captured candid moments that I will cherish forever. If I had to go back and do it again I would hire her 100 times over!

Awarded Best of Zola
We’re based in Boston and planned our Rochester wedding from the distance, so having someone local was essential — and Jade was everything we needed and more! As someone who’s very organized, I mainly wanted a planner who could take the stress off on the big day. Jade went above and beyond to make sure that happened. She was kind, patient, and incredibly helpful — especially when I was indecisive or overwhelmed. She guided us through timeline decisions, managed last-minute changes, and always stayed calm and reassuring. She also helped us book amazing vendors — including our florist, DJ, and transportation — and was super mindful of our budget. She even included thoughtful touches like sparklers and signs without extra charges. On the wedding day, she quietly handled everything, even helping my sister-in-law when she wasn’t feeling well. Her presence was steady, warm, and exactly what we needed. We’re so grateful for Jade and would absolutely recommend her to anyone — especially if you’re planning from afar or want someone who truly cares about making your day feel special.

We can’t say enough great things about Billy and Katie! From the very beginning, Billy brought such a personal and thoughtful touch to our wedding experience. He reached out proactively during the planning process to make sure everything was set for the big day, offering helpful input and flexibility that made us feel completely at ease. On the wedding day, both Billy and Katie were absolutely amazing. They were not only timely and professional, but also worked seamlessly with our coordinator to help keep everything running smoothly. They weren’t just behind the camera—they were genuinely helpful, lending a hand wherever it was needed and making the day feel even more special. One of the most impressive touches was that Billy had photos ready and on display at the reception for our guests to enjoy, adding such a thoughtful and unique element to the evening. He also surprised us with a roll of 35mm film photos he took during the day, which captured timeless and nostalgic moments that we will cherish forever. He delivered our full set of photos incredibly quickly, and they came out beautifully—we couldn’t be happier with the results. So many of our guests commented on how great Billy and Katie were—friendly, accommodating, and just a joy to have around. They helped keep the energy up and the timeline on track, all while capturing every special moment. We feel incredibly lucky to have had them as part of our day and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

Richele is an amazing person with an amazing gift of photography! I have been booking with her for about 2 years and just recently she photographed my wedding and it was beautiful! Richele knows how to make you feel comfortable and like you’ve known her for years. She can be fun, friendly and professional and deliver 1000% high quality amazing photos! She is easy to communicate with and makes sure you are beyond happy with your photos. She knows how to get all those unplanned photos, when you’re half way into a laugh and think no ones watching you or when you’re looking at the love of your life and she catches that beautiful look in your eyes. You can feel the emotion in every photo she takes, they have all turned out beautiful. I will recommend Richele every time ! Xoxo

The Lockstone was a beautiful venue. From start to finish the experience was fantastic. Natasha and staff were extremely helpful. Even on wedding day, they were helping out and were serving amazing drinks all night. They made sure we knew what was going on day of the wedding when it came to where our ceremony would be held. Tinsel was a hit, was a great addition to our desserts. We were locked in at the Lockstone, you should be too!
