I hired Viegas Photography for a wedding 11/15/19. In good faith, I paid in full instead of giving…read morea deposit of 1/2 the amount owed (lesson learned.) My ex-fiance August 2019, the wedding was canceled. I called Michael to advise him of the unseen and unfortunate events. I fully understood that he would keep 1/2 of the money I paid him because that is in the contract. He told me he could only refund the money if there were another booking. I never heard from him and he took advantage of a horrible situation. I should have written this review back in 2019, but I was in too much distress. I am writing the review since Michael at Viegas Photography was recommended to a colleague, which reminded of my situation and prompted me to write the review. I am not disputing that his work is professional, and that is evident from the other reviews and pictures. However, he should have done the right thing and, in good faith, refunded everything but the deposit. That is just greedy. The story's moral is that no good deed goes unpunished. If you hire Michael, only pay the deposit in case you have a misfortunate event like myself. Also, he will dispute this, but I have all the documentation to prove my review is legit.

Planning a wedding in a town with which you're unfamiliar can be a frightening experience. Luckily…read morefor me, the pastor performing the ceremony recommended Viegas Photography. From the beginning, Mike was helpful and friendly, choosing a location for me since I wasn't familiar with the area. He made arrangements for me to see the location and give my final approval, and was willing to accommodate me if I didn't like his choice (but he chose a beautiful spot). He even made suggestions for the best time of day to have the ceremony to capture the most colorful pictures. Not only was his service fantastic and his much-needed help perfectly in line with what we wanted, but his prices were also reasonable and very competitive with others in the area. We feel that we received a great deal for the quality service we received. Mike and Tina were kind, professional, and eager to help. I would highly recommend them.

I got in contact with them about decorating my wedding at a separate venue (not at the glamour and design hall) and they responded immediately. They also have coordinating services and an event hall where do full decor/event hosting. From our first zoom meeting they were very professional, got the specifics of what I was looking for (including a Mandap for an Indian ceremony), and gave an item by item quote. Of note, they do artificial flowers and drapery, and they were more than happy to work in combination with our florist to create the look we were going for. They made a mock-up of the main backdrop for the wedding ahead of time so we could tweak it to be perfect! Everything was set up by the time I got to the venue and went off without a hitch. It was beautiful and Stephanie and the team were amazing. Would absolutely recommend Glamour and Design to decorate any event and make it beautiful!

Tony (DJ not a panda) was a great choice as our DJ for our wedding in Celebration, Orlando. He was…read morewith us from the start of the ceremony through the end of the reception, and everything ran smoothly! From the beginning, Tony stood out for his communication. We had several calls leading up to the wedding, and he always took the time to walk us through how wedding DJing works and what we should be thinking about. He also answered a ton of questions via email and didn't mind the back and forth at all. As a couple planning a wedding for the first time, there were a lot of small details we hadn't considered. Tony filled in those gaps with practical advice from his experience without ever being pushy. He has an online wedding worksheet that was especially helpful. It's a detailed form that covers each part of the day: ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and more. We could fill it out over time as we made decisions, save our progress, and then review everything with him before the big day. That process made us feel organized, confident as we were able to track our TODOs through his website On the wedding day, Tony arrived early, coordinated seamlessly with our planner, and handled setup without needing anything from us. He is a total professional, and clearly knows what he's doing. The ceremony music was exactly what we wanted (music, timings and everything), and the reception was even better. Our wedding was multicultural (Indian/American) and had a wide range of ages, and Tony managed that balance really well. He played great Bollywood tracks (and already knew crowd favorites), mixed in classics for the older guests, and kept the dance floor packed with hip-hop, house, and other popular songs for the younger crowd. He rotated genres thoughtfully so everyone felt included at all times. Special shoutout to him as he gracefully handled all spontaneous song requests from us and our guests ! Overall, we'd absolutely recommend Tony. He's super friendly, communicates really well & is very reasonably priced for the level of service he provides: honestly, for what you get, it feels like a great value. He's a solid choice and will spend time and effort in understanding your vision, we're very grateful for his contribution in making our event such a great success
