Al worked with us several months before the reception to iron out details and get to know us over cocktails. His outgoing personality eased my concerns and I almost instantly felt comfortable giving him the reins on our dance party. Al is equipped with all the music and lighting you would need to enhance your dance floor (ours was in our garage as we had a backyard reception). On the day of, Al went above and beyond to help us keep to our timeline. He checked in with us and our families as we were busy mingling with guests, but in a way that was not intrusive. When my dessert donuts didn't fit the pegs on my MOH's donut wall, Al stepped right in to help us organize donut boxes. We didn't ask him to do this, it was simply out of the kindness of his heart. I would have Alan DJ our event again in a heartbeat. I was so impressed with how he continually kept the energy up on our dance floor (my legs were jello the next day!) and our guests expressed similar sentiments. You won't be sorry!

Lisa was the photographer for a special family birthday event in early February (2025). She was…read moretruly stellar to work with and made each member of our large group grateful that she was there documenting the memories of that day. She has the unique ability to capture what is meaningful and important and by the end of the day, we felt as though she was a member of our family!

Thank you, Lisa, for your caring approach, expert eye, and for making every one of us so comfortable with the camera and with you. We all look forward to having you be a part of the next big event!

We hired John to photograph our wedding and were so pleased with his work that we again hired him for a one year anniversary session. We liked that John is very professional and really easy to get along with. He is incredibly tech-savvy, often communicating with us through e-mail and meeting with us through Skype (we live in Iowa, but were married in Minnesota). His style is to capture the emotion and feeling of the event in motion. If you want posed, stagnant people with plastic smiles, get a friend to take your pictures.; but if you want pictures that take you back to your special event and make you smile every time you flip through them, hire John. John is a professional artist who creates beautiful work and will make you look great in his work. We're so glad we hired John!

IT WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING This rental company is not very…read morecustomer oriented. I booked chairs from them for my wedding that happens to be on a Sunday. One week before the event, they emailed me wanting to drop them off Friday since they said they're close on the weekends. I had too much on my plate, so I wasn't able to check my email that week. Friday came, and that's the only time someone tried to reach out to me saying their delivery guys were already at the venue. When I clarified it with their customer service, she blamed me for not checking my email they sent 1 WEEK PRIOR TO MY EVENT. They said they can deliver it to me on Sunday with additional inconvenience cost! HAD I KNOWN THIS INFORMATION, I WILL NOT BOOK WITH THEM SINCE I ONLY HAVE THE VENUE RENTED FOR THE DAY. After complaining and arguing to the very rude manager, he finally resigned and said it was a miscommunication, and they will be delivering it for free. However, given the stress they put on me, I didn't want to deal with them anymore as they seem to be not very reliable. I asked for a refund, but they said they're not doing refunds, and they only give credits/gift cash. I will only get married once, and given my bad experience, I don't think I'll ever attempt to use that gift card anymore. So, there goes my money down the drain since their contract isn't really flexible to their customer's needs, but ONLY THEIR OWN GREED. Giving poor customer service and not disclosing important information before the purchase like delivery time, then saying you can't refund if you cancel is just pure DAYLIGHT ROBBERY. Plus, the chairs were not even wiped ready for the next customers. They wanted to get free storage for the weekend and gaslighted me again and again saying other previous customers were okay with it. We ended up getting another supplier who rented the chairs for a cheaper price with better quality. Overall, it was very disappointing!

KROC is a radio station in Rochester, MN. The AM band offers news and talk shows, similar to…read moreNEWSTALK 1010 in Toronto or CJOB in Winnipeg. The FM band is what my review focuses on. KROC 106.9 plays music, with entertainment, weather, and news highlights scattered throughout the day. It's top 40 music. It's a cross between the relaxed tone of CHUM 104.5 and the music vibes of KISS 92.5 in Toronto. When I moved to Rochester years ago, I basically brought a suitcase of essentials and me on a plane. I then furnished my apartment by gradually getting items as I went along. One of the first items that I bought was a clock radio. I still have it to this day and it works. I find that whenever I am in a new city, I turn on the radio to listen to what's happening locally. I liked what I heard on KROC and it became my radio station for two years as a Rochester resident. I tuned into the morning show before I headed into work every weekday. Back then, the morning show consisted of Tracy McCray and James Rabe. Both have since left and have moved to another FM station in Rochester. Small world! KROC is located in downtown Rochester. The building is unassuming. It's beige with small KROC letters on it. It's not like some of the neon signs that we see in Toronto for radio stations screaming out their call letters. Rochester is significantly smaller in population than Toronto, but is still deemed a city. Hey, whatever works is good. It has been around since the 1960's. I liked the music. I got into Lifehouse, the band, thanks to this station, and more. I also learned what community activities were going on, which helped me figure things out as a resident. Luckily, streaming radio stations around the world can be easily done these days. I tend to tune in through a browser, but the station has an app that you can download, too. I'll occasionally check out what's happening on KROC, especially when I need my fix hearing a Minnesotan accent or two. (31)
