    MBD does it all!!

    We used MBD for our DJ and decided to go with a photographer with them as well – wanted to streamline the number of vendors we dealt with. Great decision!! Planning a DJ and Photographer was so simple with MBD having one coordinator for us to work with ahead of the wedding. Taylor was assigned after letting them know the type of photographs we were looking for. I had an intro meeting with her as I wanted to be sure we at least had some rapport before making final selection. She was so nice and immediately seemed like a great fit. The day of she was spectacular. Our timing was a little off schedule, and she worked with our Coordinator seamlessly to keep us on track all while still ensuring we captured all the pictures we wanted. At the wedding and reception, she was everywhere, yet very unobtrusive – you didn’t notice her unless you were trying to notice her. She blended right in with everyone. While we won’t get pictures back immediately, we’re looking forward to seeing the final outputs.
