Both times Manisha Trevidi (owner) has been professional and given exceptional value. Her designs are gorgeous, and what's more, the guests love them. She has tremendous patience and a smile for the youngest guests, and for all others as well. For our most recent party, she worked with us last-minute when we needed to push the start time forward an hour due to an impending snowstorm. I recommend her services highly, without hesitation, and gladly!

If i could give this business zero stars, I would…read more READ BEFORE BOOKING I didn't even even do the photoshoot. Synopsis: 1. Lack of professionalism 2. Lack of communication 3. Not truthful about costs 4. Not punctual I scheduled a consultation and didn't get a confirmation email, therefore no link to join the online meeting. So I scheduled a second one that was available (maybe 15 of 30 minutes after the initial one). Day of the consultation, she calls me (which is fine-video or phone call) and I explained the situation. There was a miscommunication in which she thought I I didn't need to talk to her anymore. So I had to call her and reiterate that I would still like to have a consultation, at which point she was driving and it was very hard to hear. A couple of weeks later (with enough time BEFORE the supposed shoot), I send a long list of questions with no expectation of answers right away. Time passes by and still no communication. This is important because if you can'd do the job, let me know so I can find someone else in a timely manner. A few more weeks go by and I have to check in again (which is fine, but the date is getting too close for comfort), and I have been reassigned to another photographer (which again fine). But I have no name or information to get in contact with this person. I have to check in AGAIN, but supposedly this person tries contacting me a few times, but can't get ahold of me because she must not have my correct information. Finally, I get her information to talk to her. Set a date and time to talk, I end up having to check in AGAIN. There seemed to be no communication between Natalie and her employee if her employee has to ask me what date and time is the shoot. I'm glad we discussed price before anything else because it's not the same quote as I was initially told. $100+more/hr is SIGNIFICANT. I am sure she does great work, but the headache is not worth it. I don't appreciate my time wasted because now I have to look for a new photographer, almost last minute. I did notify Natalie with my thoughts and hopefully she will do better with future clients.

She is a scammer! She will send no contract, tell you to choose a collection for an outrageous…read moresitting fed of $225 and when ready to release the few mediocre shots will tell you she needs $3-500 to release any images. You can purchase many photos from Nations photo lab.com!!! No where did she ever disclose a secondary fee or that images MUST be purchased in the minimum of $300. A family shoot for $525 minimum Is disgusting if her. She's only here to steal. $225 down the drain. BUYER BEWARE she will make up outrages feed to release photos after you have already agreed on the fee. I highly recommend you seek an honest photographer.

Megan is the best! My husband and I were looking for a family photographer over a year ago when our…read moredaughter turned 2. I found Megan by putting out a request to my Facebook friends and looking over a bunch of different photographers' websites. We booked a session with Megan and were so happy with the pictures, the price, her professionalism, and her quick turnaround time (i.e. editing the pics and getting them up on her portal). She subsequently took our son's newborn pictures and other various family pictures. I highly recommend her!

From the first brainstorming session, we knew that Kristin and her team had the experience, connections and skill to plan an event that would pay tribute to the success of our agency. The event exceeded all of our expectations. Kristin and her team managed every detail from start to finish. They learned about our agency history and culture and ensured that it was represented throughout every decision that was made. She ensured that our agency branding was throughout the the amazing venue at Gillette Stadium and coordinated all signage, florals and decor. Kristin has impeccable taste and style.

Kristin truly goes above and beyond. For our summer party in 2022 at Gillette stadium, the bus company providing 5 full-size coaches canceled all our buses the day before our event. They had a shortage of drivers. We got a full refund but that didn't help with the need to get everyone to/from the party. Finding buses had been challenging months before our event and now we were less than 24 hours out. Kristin dropped everything and spent the entire day tracking down buses and cobbling together a transportation plan for us. It was incredibly stressful but she was calm and cool. She literally saved the event. On top of it, Kristin is a lovely person and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Swank Events!

I had planned almost every detail of the wedding and knew exactly how I envisioned my big day but the problem was I could not oversee the coordination of all the vendors/individuals in the execution of my plans. However, Wendy seemed to take over flawlessly and made sure everything happened EXACTLY as I had hoped. My fiance and I were beyond thankful for her because she really enabled us to enjoy every moment of our big day!! When tiny things went wrong (and of course something will go wrong!) - Wendy always had a creative solution and did her absolute best to take care of it as quickly and quietly as possible. I was especially thankful for Wendy because I my niece (the flowergirl) had an issue come up and was unable to make it to the wedding ceremony with her dad so we were unable to get a complete family photo right after the ceremony. Very near the end of the reception, my niece and her dad finally came and Wendy orchestrated getting EVERYONE together for several complete family photos! We were SOOOOOooo thankful!! Anyway, I highly recommend Wendy and know you will not regret it =)

Working with Wendy is like working with your best friend and your Mother at the same time; You always get the truth wrapped in attention and love. Literally the best combination you can ask for in an event coordinator. Last month I was at a Thanksgiving Dinner done by Wendy (and her assistants) that was phenomenal. The "flow" of the dinner and throughout the entire evening was exceptional. And, it was incredibly MEMORABLE! If you don't have time or energy for all the work that goes into an event, hire a true professional. I have made the mistake in the past of not working with a pro. "It's Your Day" is perfectly named. When you hire Wendy, you expect the best and she outperforms. Get her while her prices are still reasonable!

Her pricing is extremely reasonable for the level of service and professionalism that she provides. She truly makes you feel like you've known her your whole life and gets the shots that every happy couple dreams of having.

As a bride, I didn't need a lot of help on the creative side, but Mandy's help was crucial to getting everything executed. Without her organization and recommendations for vendors, I guarantee we would have arrived at our wedding day with a lot of enthusiasm and very little actual wedding Also, I appreciated throughout the process that when I wanted to go with my own vendor or DIY, Mandy was very open to those ideas- I never felt pushed to choose someone she prefers to work with or anything like that. As a fellow wedding vendor, we have collaborated since and it has been a joy to watch her creative design and styling process as well. Mandy has extremely chic taste, and yet she is a chameleon when it comes to creating events and inspiration shoots that are unique, creative, and show incredible variety. It is always a pleasure to work with her and see what she comes up with. I highly recommend bringing Mandy in to make your planning process as smooth as possible, resulting in the wedding you wanted, elevated.
