  • Essence was AWESOME

    We used Essence for our photo/video and our DJ, which I was initially worried about, but the whole team couldn't have been any better to work with. Our DJ Ryan was AMAZING and he took great care in selecting a great range of music for our guests and kept everyone on the dance floor until we had to be dragged off. Our photographer, also named Ryan, did an amazing job with photos at a separate location as well as our venue. He kept the bridal party entertained during the long day, and the photos turned out so perfect. Could not recommend Essence enough- I think the idea of having multiple aspects covered by one company is a great for ease of communication and planning and I wish we had gone with them for more services for our wedding.

  • Essence for the win!

    We could not have been happier with the services and product we received! We picked Nora as our photographer as it seemed like she was great at using natural lighting and did a good job with capturing photos that weren’t posed. We were not disappointed! Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks. Lastly, we booked the DJ through essence as well (spinning’ discs) and Nora and the dj worked together great which made it that much easier. If you’re considering essence, do it - you will not regret!

    We went through Essence for our photographer, DJ, and photobooth. Booking was straightforward and easy, and Ron and Sheila were both very responsive. Our photographer Allison did an amazing job on pre-ceremony shots at the Garden of the Phoenix, and when an emergency came up, her boss Peggy stepped in and took over seamlessly handling both the ceremony and reception. Both Allison and Peggy really captured our best sides, despite neither of us being particularly photogenic. The photos turned out great, and the turn-around time was unbelievably fast!
