I planned to propose in a place I've never seen and I'm not particularly close to. Alyssa worked with the hotel to make sure everything was perfect for us without much effort from me. She gave me clear instructions to make the moment and photos magical. Alyssa went above and beyond twice over! We got 100+ beautiful photos (plus black and white versions) over a 30 minute session, edited and sent to us within a week. Highly highly recommend!!

I'm a mom of three, and let's just say my kids were not exactly cooperative the day of our session. But somehow, Alyssa managed to capture the most beautiful, natural photos and they look incredible. We've used this location for the past four years, but this year we worked with her, and even in the same setting- the photos came out fresh, unique, and absolutely. She was calm, patient, and incredibly creative. She found ways to bring out the best in all of us, even when I thought it wasn't possible. The end results completely exceeded my expectations. I can't recommend Alyssa highly enough. If you're looking for someone who is both talented and easy to work with, she's the one! Megan Q. Michigan City/July 2025 Session

My husband and I had a beautiful intimate wedding ceremony and reception in July 2020. But when…read morelooking back, we were missing something...the party. We had planned a party just to be told to postpone it a whole year. 27 Entertainment understand the situation we were forced into and held on tight for the adventure that was a 1 year postponement. Patrick, my husband, was in charge of picking a DJ. To him flowers, food, venue didn't matter much as long as the music was great. And when our day finally came he chose right, 27 Entertainment did not disappoint. When I say our wedding was a dance party fueled with my favorite songs...that's exactly what it was. The energy this company provides is ridiculous. I danced the night away to songs we selected but mixed by the talented Matt! And I tried to keep up with Sterling's energy and amazing dance moves he was sending THE WHOLE TIME. If you are hesitant, don't be. There is a reason this company has this many 5 star reviews. They're the best of the best! Thanks you two!

For us, we needed a date that worked and A photographer who had the option of an inside studio if the weather was bad. Steve had it all! His property is vast and offers different outside backdrops, and he has a large indoor studio with different backdrops if needed. We used inside and outside for our pictures. The whole experience was pleasant and I would recommend contacting Steve and plan to use him again.

I was super pleased when we went to put our deposit down for the wedding, he took some family photos of us!

Trysh made sure everything went perfectly, she made sure I had all the pictures I wanted with family and friends and had the best ideas when it came to certain details I wanted to incorporate.

It was so amazing that I was able to relive the best day of my life with all of the pictures Trysh took. Hiring Trysh as my photographer was the best decision I have ever made!

I'm so happy I did my research…read more Lisa the owner of Bow Wow and Meow Boutique is fantastic. She is truly proud of her craft and does it so well. We took our little girl for her first time haircut which can be very stressful for puppies. Lisa made it simple and very comfortable for her. Our puppy was able to roam around and feel at home while having her hair cut. Lisa is very warm and welcoming. The boutique itself is clean and doesn't smell bad like other places. Also she thankfully does NOT use cage dryers which is a huge deal for me! Cage dryers are super dangerous. Google it at your own risk. We are so happy we found a clean & safe grooming place for our little fur baby. Thank you Lisa.

She has very dense fine hair that could put a sheep to shame, in fact she might need to be shorn instead of groomed. To say she's a special girl who needs a lot of attention is an understatement. I have work-related difficulties in scheduling Shorn-of-the-sheep for grooming, and Lisa is wonderful about working with me. Even better... my dog comes back looking fantastic, well groomed, no burns, no cuts in her ears, just ... fantastic. And she's more than reasonable. I've recommended her to everyone I know with dogs, and I've heard them pass along those recommendations.

Sara helped me pick the outfits out that I wanted to wear and did such a good job of making me look like I never have before. My husband adored the pictures and tells me he still looks at the ones that we purchased from the Google Drive I would say that, even if you are scared or think that you aren't good enough pretty enough, you should definitely give this a shot at least once in your life. It's nice to be pampered and treated like a princess and that's exactly what they do. It was 100% worth it to do this and make me feel so much better about myself. I sincerely recommend going to Sara for this, her work is comparable and beats some of the photographers in the city.
