We are so grateful we hired Griz as our DJ and entertainment option! Our DJ, Matt, was a delight…read more He met with us a good chunk of time before the wedding to get an idea of the vibe we wanted for our night. Griz uses an app called Vibo that made it supremely easy for us to communicate how our evening would flow, when we would need the DJ, and what music we absolutely wanted (or didn't want) to hear. Matt played every song on our playlist and more. Guests danced the night away. Matt also worked with us to ensure the music was on point for a more elaborate and silly first dance. He's a great DJ and a really nice guy. We're also so grateful for the 360* video booth Griz provided. Our guests had a blast. People were using it all night long.

She is AMAZING! she is chill, cool, organized, creative, positive, and overall just a badass ninja that will make your life awesome. She came in to plan our wedding a few weeks before, we were so happy and relieved to have her onboard. She connected with all vendors, took care of payments, organized and coordinated the drop offs/pick ups, helped with decor, set up, ceremony rehearsal, coordinated our BBQ and the entire wedding, so we didn't have to be stressed, overall, she pretty much helped with everything including keeping us calm and sane. She is so calm and positive in such stressful situations. If we had a problem, she would find a way to figure it out/find a solution and that was super great!! She is the perfect wedding planner that YOU are looking for. I loved her from the moment we said hi to each other over the phone to the time we said goodbye. We felt so lucky that we found her for our very special day! Thank you for all your help, April! You are a rockstar!

Chad and Vanessa are down to Earth, kind, and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos match exactly how we felt about our day: pure bliss! Preparing for our trip, the Outlovers checked in with us at every step of the way from the moment we reached out to them to the morning of our elopement. They guided us on exactly what to pack and made sure we were prepared for any weather, which came in handy when we unexpectedly encountered chilly winds and light rain. They even brought along items that we would never think of or couldn't logistically bring in a suitcase. They helped to configure the backpack to carry the suit the morning of the elopement and pulled out an umbrella for us to use, in addition to our rain jackets. They even went out of their way to help with an elaborate surprise and preserve our picnic during travel. Chad and Vanessa are more than just photographers. They helped us plan our trip and provided advice on where to visit and what to do, even when we weren't with them. They were our expert hiking guides, leading us on our drive up the mountain and through the dark with our headlamps on to our sunrise ceremony spot. Even as we raced to catch sunrise, they helped keep the mood light and made sure we never lost sight of the reason for the day. They have such an obvious passion for the outdoors and that helped us appreciate the experience that much more. We couldn't have chosen a better pair than Chad and Vanessa to accompany us on our special day!

*Honest, Punctual, COMMITTED services*…read more Words cannot express the amount of gratitude I have for Vanessa and Chad, The Outlovers. In April, we decided to leave New Jersey and elope in the west due to Covid. Since we were no longer able to have that 'traditional wedding' we did something we never were able to dream of - get married in a national park. After days of research I found the Outlovers and their services. Initially, I was quite skeptical because I was allowing strangers out west to pull off my dream wedding without ever meeting them. However, they overdelivered! The Outlovers encouraged zoom meetings instead of calls so we can have that personal connection. They have a wonderful wedding guide with a questionnaire so it helps them plan our vision perfectly. I would randomly text Vanessa day and night pictures of charcuterie and cakes and she would get in touch with vendors for me. Vanessa also encouraged me to send all my wedding materials directly to her home so she can organize and deliver them safely to me on my wedding day. It felt like she was my personal assistant / therapist for 2 months! As for the location, they suggested a few places with full description of the surroundings. Chad even went to the location a few times and sent us videos so we could 'feel' this was the right place for us. The location was NOT easy to get to and very remote, he was so committed. On top of all of this they invited us out for lunch to meet a couple days prior to the wedding. Instantly, we connected with their down to earth personalities. They had quite the experience of spontaneity and it really help calm our nerves. I think this worked out so well because Vanessa shared with us that she had never attended a 'traditional wedding'. Her take on things were SO refreshing and really put me at ease. There were no rules, there was no pressure, it was just us and free spirit flowing around us. I never thought a couple of strangers would sleep in their car the night before ( due to unfortunate weather circumstances!) to show up to my room at 130am, hike and drive in the desert at 3am, to marry us at sunrise. The commitment and sacrifices theoutlovers made for us were huge. And lastly, our photos captured all the love that was shared from our wedding day. Honestly, without these photos we would have nothing to share with our family at home. Chad was able to hit all the right moments at the right time. So much candid love. He also provided breathtaking landscapes of our surroundings so we can show our loved ones our venue. Chad is a talented artist and creates exquisite work. We have zero regrets choosing The Outlovers. We will cherish our wedding experience forever because of them :)
