After our initial consultation with Kimmylea, we decided to go with the Something Blue package since we were early on in the planning process. With this package we planned alongside Kimmylea and got the day-of coordination. She helped us every step of the way keeping us on track with booking vendors and even recommending vendors as well. Kimmylea was so easy to get into contact with. She always responded in a timely manner and we had several meetings along the way as well which helped us feel prepared. The wedding day was stress-free for my husband and I and our whole family. Kimmylea and Beau set up everything and tore down which was so nice to not have our families worry about. At the end of the night I found out our venue's security guard never showed up and they wouldn't be able to serve alcohol without one. Luckily Beau was able to fill that role due to his occupation. I'm not sure what would have happened if Kimmylea and Beau weren't there, but I'm glad I'll never have to find out. Kimmylea also stepped up when I was feeling uneasy about a last minute DJ switch. She contacted the owner and helped reassure me that everything would be great. If you are looking for a wedding or any type of event planner, look no further. Limelight Expressions will go above and beyond to make your day perfect and stress free!

Audra Pace at Dream Big Events, LLC. is just INCREDIBLE! If you can make only one investment for…read moreyour Big Day, invest in Audra as your wedding planner. We hired Audra shortly after we got engaged. I had interviewed several wedding planners in the western Iowa/eastern Nebraska area and as soon as I began talking with Audra, I knew she was the one. I could tell she really loved her job and this showed throughout the whole process. It was kind of like hiring a family member to guide us along the way to keep us stress free even when talking about the budget. Not only was Audra accessible, responsive, and just on it for the six months leading up to the day, but she literally saved the day when bad weather rolled in the day of the wedding. All while problem-solving weather issues, she was guiding me through the day without me ever having to ask for anything. It was right there before I even needed it. The entire wedding party and my family loved her. Audra was truly a gift to us from the beginning. She made planning a wedding fun, which was probably the biggest gift any one could give us. In short, Audra is organized, efficient, detail-oriented, goes the extra mile and then some, is an excellent negotiator on your behalf, and does this all with a genuine smile. Audra, thank you for helping us achieve our dream!!

This review is long overdue as I had the pleasure of working with Reaction Photography in the busy…read moremonth of December. When I first started looking for a company to work with, I messaged several different photographers and Carmen was the only person I felt at ease collaborating with. Not only did she reply very quickly, her responses were positive & supportive. I was honestly what one would call a complex client as I was unsure of what I really wanted but that is why Carmen is so great! She helped me execute my vision given my directions were quite vague. When time came for the shoot, Carmen led me throughout the session making it effortless! After an hour session we were able to get many shots AND an outfit change in all the while I was sluggish barely being able to move around much at 38 weeks pregnant! The shoot was a success and after a week Carmen and Ryan emailed me the results. I was very happy with the outcome but requested a couple edits and sure enough they made it happen! I was going through my first pregnancy and I was overwhelmed with all the stress and insecurities that come with pregnancy, however Reaction Photography captured my maternity shots seamlessly! I would recommend as everything was well orchestrated, from the start to the end! Thank you Carmen & Ryan

Carmen was so wonderful. We had a family reunion in Omaha where we celebrated the new fountain,…read moresplash pad, play structure and more at Gallagher Park. I had found Carmen on Yelp (I'm a big Yelper who listens to reviews) and when I spoke with her on the phone I knew I had found the right person. We were a group of 29 family members, ranging in age from 3 -85 years old . We had 3 sets of families and we needed numerous pictures taken at Gallagher Park. Carmen arrived on time and ready to go. She was professional and truly got every photo we needed. She was calm and helpful and knew exactly what to do. Due to my concern about the weather Carmen was flexible throughout, and was happy to continue taking photos at an inside venue if needed (thankfully the weather was fine and we were able to take all the photos outside). If you are looking for an excellent, creative, professional photographer for any event no need to look further! Carmen is simply the BEST!

The altar having a fountain behind it is an absolutely stunning detail for the ceremony. The white stone wall by the outdoor tables made for an incredible background for pictures and made me feel like I was in Greece instead of Iowa. The rolling fields around the venue are beautiful for family/wedding party photos. The grand staircase is a classy touch and made for fun entrances by the wedding party. The chandeliers are a gorgeous detail that tied the whole reception area together. I loved having the rooms for the groomsmen and bridesmaids to get ready in, the pool table in the groomsmen's room was a great idea. The whole day flowed perfectly and the vendors that work with The Fountains Ballroom were wonderful. I highly recommend!

We were on the fence about getting a video because "It's too expensive on top of everything else we have to buy for the wedding." The video from ASI is worth every single penny. ASI provided us with a beautiful wedding video full of memories that we now have for the rest of our lives. My wife and I had so many nerves on our wedding day from the moment we woke up until the moment we left the wedding which made it hard to take in everything that was going on around us. ASI captured those moments that made your big day so special for us. A Sound Impression is a 5 star quality production and very professional and friendly to work with. Cali was always on top of every one of our emails answering every detail. We planned everything from out of state and working with her couldn't have been a more pleasurable experience. The other night, my wife & I watched our wedding video and it brought back those feelings & emotions that we had that day. Seeing my bride for the first time, our first kiss, the father/daughter dance, the thoughtful speeches, etc are just a few of the special memories we can cherish forever. I work on a tv production team out in Los Angeles, CA and I was 110% satisfied with the quality of work ASI provided. If you live in Nebraska and are looking for the best wedding video team, A Sound Impression is it!

Although they have an email address and phone, they rarely responded and when they did it was usually via messages on Facebook. We were told our video would take 3 to 4 months and we got our video after nearly 6 months with zero communication about the delay. We had to contact them to find out where our video was and why it wasn't done. They are very creative and passionate about their videos but lack a good business sense and professionalism.

Not only will you not regret this decision, you (and all of your wedding guests) will cherish the memories you make dancing to their music for years to come. TDC had family members from 13 to 85 on the dance floor, and friends from all corners of our lives (and the country, for that matter) dancing together like they've known each other a lifetime. And with good reason: the vocals, the instruments, the energy, EVERYTHING, was perfect. They also made sure the evening went just as planned--down to the minute--without a single hiccup. Our wedding day was nothing but a dream, in large part thanks to TDC. Our experience with TDC was also incredible in the months leading up to our wedding. Ether was a dream to work with: he answered every question we had (FAST, too), helped us develop the perfect timeline, and learned enough about us from our conversations and form responses to curate the PERFECT set list with the band for wedding day. For all you out there planning, I know all the logistics can be stressful, but working with TDC takes a significant amount of that burden off your shoulders. To have TDC with us and our friends and family on wedding was worth every single penny, and the memories we made are utterly priceless. We will never forget the joy you brought us, Downtown Collective! THANK YOU! PS: We strongly encourage you to have a private last dance. TDC will make this unforgettable, too.

Wow, I don't know where to begin with SwitchUp Media. They are absolutely amazing!…read more If you are looking for videographers who are able to bring a perfect mix of talent, fun and professionalism to your event, Tyler and Jason from SwitchUp Media are the videographers for you. These guys go above and beyond to capture your wedding day and you can depend on them to provide you with a product of the most exceptional quality. Photography and videography were my number one priority for my wedding; I wanted to be able to look back on the memories forever. However, my photographer was so expensive that for a while, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get a videographer because everyone was extremely out of my budget. I also had the mistaken assumption and was afraid if I didn't pay an exorbitant amount, I would receive poor quality. Fortunately, one day, while scrolling through my Facebook Newsfeed, I stumbled upon a highlight video SwitchUp Media had done for a wedding with one of my friends in it. Their work made my heart race and after researching their website and following their work, I just HAD to have them capture mine! Best. Decision. Ever. Tyler and Jason treated our wedding day with adept expertise and professionalism and in turn made us, our wedding party and our guests feel respected and special. They are also just naturally fun guys to be around and are great at interacting with the bride and groom, wedding party and guests. I had several people comment on how well they presented and handled themselves and also had a friend ask them to do the videography for her wedding. SwitchUp Media is transparent about their pricing (which is so decent and unique of them when I think back on all of my vendors) and you are paying so much less for how much they give you. I mean, you get TWO videographers who are with you ALL day (they stayed at our wedding longer than our photographers did) and they took hours of footage, captured incredible shots, and then they edited it down into a priceless memory with a beautiful highlight video and DVD of the entire day. And I just got the basic package! These guys offer so much more and can and will do so much for you. The day we got our highlight video back I think I watched it 100 times. They really take the time to capture the "feel" of your wedding and are spot on. I love watching all the highlight videos they have done because they all give you a really good feeling which I also feel is testimony to their character. The sky is the limit with SwitchUp Media and I know Jason and Tyler will continue to be very successful and sought after for their talents. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you hire them for any media project.

They captured our moments in an exceptional and unique way and didn't miss a beat! I couldn't stop watching the highlight video and couldn't believe how they had edited the moments from my wedding and synced it with the music in an unbelievable way. I can't say THANK YOU enough! Thank you for capturing the detail shots, the expressions of our guests, moments with our family and friends, but most importantly thank you for documenting the best day of my life! Jason and Tyler will not disappoint. They are a MUST for your wedding day. If you're considering videography to capture your day-these are the guys!
