She listened carefully to exactly what we were looking for and went above and beyond in helping us to negotiate all the ins and outs. Marilee's marvelous organizational skills, creativity, and complete knowledge of the industry made our event flow incredibly smoothly. The best decision we could have made, to take advantage of Planned Spontaneity's expert advice. SO worthwhile and such a positive experience!! Highly recommended!!

I should have done my research before hiring Planned Spontaneity because it turned out being the…read morebiggest mistake and regret of my wedding. The team she hired to set up the venue was clearly inexperienced and even made comments to my family members saying, "I'm not sure what to do I've never done this before." Time was severely mismanaged and the coordinator/owner was visibly overwhelmed. Marilee does not care whether or not you are happy with her services. After the wedding, I tried contacting Marilee privately to express my dissatisfaction and try and find a compromise on the amount she billed us for (which she was unwilling to give any details or itemization of her invoice) and she ended up ignoring my emails. She took no accountability, was disrespectful and made rude comments about my wedding, and showed no willingness to compromise...she never apologized and immediately was defensive and threatened legal action. After trying to contact her 3 times and being ignored, she filed with small claims. The judgement ended up being dismissed. After having such a horrible experience and doing more research, I found out the business was dissolved in 2014 and is no longer legally operating under its LLC.

From our first meeting with Pat Werk, we knew that this calm, detail-oriented, warm woman had to…read moreofficiate our ceremony. Pat gave us so many choices for what to include in our ceremony and helped us think through how best to make our ceremony a reflection of our relationship. Many of our guests said that it was the most meaningful ceremony they had ever witnessed, and I don't think there was a dry eye in the house! Pat ran the rehearsal and ceremony with that same warmth and pervasive calm from when we first met her, and we appreciated how prepared she was for every component. Pat gave us the resources to be completely present in the ceremony, which was an amazing way to begin our adventure of marriage!

There are so many photographers in Madison but once we met Hillary from Azena, we knew we made a…read moregreat choice! My girlfriend and I were looking for a photographer that was LGBTQ friendly and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Her quality of photos and her prices alone are enough to consider Azena but on top of that, we got a very personalized experience and we had a lot of fun! Thank you Hillary!

I am a fellow wedding vendor. My standards at a wedding are incredibly high and I love it when I…read morework with other vendors that feel the same way. Hillary at Azena Photography is on my level when it comes to her attention to detail, her quality of work, and her professionalism through the process. She communicates well with other vendors, keeps her word (when she says she'll have the bride and groom back at 6PM, she will) and of course, she takes amazing photos (she's kind enough to send me photos that happen to include me and allows me to use them as I see fit)! I ask couples that book with me what other services/vendors they are using (from the venue, to the caterer, and the photographer and when they tell me it's Azena Photography, I know it's going to be an easier day for me and they will be thrilled with the final pictures delivered to them from Hillary.

Sarah and Todd were incredibly flexible and willing to work with us remotely since we were planning…read moreour wedding from out-of-state. We were upfront about what we wanted and didn't want, which ensured that we were on the same page from the start. From our first FaceTime session with them, we had the feeling that they shared our vision for our wedding photographs. A week or two before our wedding, we sent them a list of photographs we desired, and they worked with us to recommend an agenda so that we would be able to get all of the pictures in the time we had allotted. The day of the wedding, it was clear that they had actually read through our list and had a plan in their heads. They executed their plan flawlessly. We got through the photos we had on our list in way less time than we had planned for, which allowed us to get additional photographs. They photographed for 8 hours total. We got our photos 2-3 weeks after our wedding, and we were so happy with them! Sarah and Todd captured so many candid moments of us and our guests that we would have missed or forgotten otherwise. Urban Anchor Photography is amazing!

Please read this to the end to truly understand how extraordinary Russell is not just as a DJ but…read moreas a human being. We hired Russell for our wedding in September 2011 and to this day I can say with complete confidence it was one of the best decisions we made. From the very first meeting he was fully invested in us our story and our vision. He listened asked thoughtful questions and made us feel genuinely cared for. On our wedding day everything was flawless. The uplighting transformed the space the photo booth was a huge hit and the playlist kept everyone on the dance floor. Every single guest was involved. One of the most unforgettable moments was the father daughter dance where Russell created a powerful emotional experience that still gives me chills. The most incredible part was our first dance. Before the wedding Russell interviewed us separately recorded our voices and incorporated our actual words into our song. There was not a dry eye in the room. It was intentional magical and something I have never seen done before or since. Fourteen years later after life divorce and finding our way back to each other I reached out to Russell hoping to find that song. Not only did he respond but he took personal time to track it down across old computers and even a floppy disk. He found it. Hearing that song again brought us right back to why we fell in love in the first place. It was a moment we will cherish forever twice. Russell does not just play music. He creates moments that last a lifetime. Jason and I will be forever grateful. Jason and Shannon

I thought it was a little pricey at first.. assuming this was going to be just another DJ service…read more However after experiencing such an awesome DJ, it was WELL worth the money! My daughter and husband chose the storytelling on their first dance.. there wasn't a dry eye in the room! Russ kept the dance floor full the entire 5 hours. He had a back up plan if the guests weren't dancing, but that was NOT needed! Raving compliments the next day from guests who have never experienced such fun! Russ takes the time to help you plan and personalize your special night. My daughter and husband met with Russ multiple times prior to the wedding and I, as the mother of the bride was even invited for one meeting by my daughter to ensure the music would be to all of the guests liking. He brought all of his own equipment, and helped us organized our wedding day from beginning to end. He made sure that every thing ran smoothly, we never had to worry at all. Russ covered all his bases and was very professional, you could tell he had done many weddings, he was very experienced and knew what the expectations were for the guests Highly recommend! You WILL NOT be disappointed!!
