I've photographed Bruce Greenway's work for a number of years, and having spent a lot of time on…read morehis job sites, I've seen firsthand how his work goes beyond the finished product. When I chat with Bruce about a project he's asked me to photograph, he doesn't immediately point me to specific design choices he's made -- he first talks about his conversations with the homeowners, even before the project got started. So in effect, my photography ends up being guided by Bruce's listening approach: how genuinely he hears his clients, and how thoughtfully he respects the environment and geography each project sits in. Then I see it in his material choices -- locally sourced Douglas fir and cedar, green roofs seeded with native plants, overhangs positioned to manage light and heat naturally. These aren't aesthetic decisions made in isolation. They reflect someone who has paid close attention to place and to the people living in it. If you're looking for an architect genuinely driven by shaping your wishes into a new home or stunning renovation, I'd recommend Bruce in a heartbeat.

We approached Bruce to design a house for us after purchasing a challenging lot. We wanted to…read moreoptimize the view, have it fit in with the natural landscape and to be able to live on one floor. From the beginning, Bruce listened very carefully, was able to visualize and articulate how to take advantage of our location to achieve what we wanted, and he even saw things that we had not imagined. We have certainly enjoyed the creative path with him. Since this is the first time we have built a house, Bruce's ability to maintain the general design concepts through the transition to detailed implementation was excellent. He listened to our needs, and when necessary, guided us through decisions that needed to be made throughout construction. We will have a house that will bring us joy and we would definitely want to work with Bruce again in the future

I requested a sweater designed with a video game for a birthday gift and was pleased with the process it took to complete it. I appreciated the question of permission to use designs outside their database for the protection of artists and their copyright, especially with the current climate of AI feeding on stolen artwork. They were timely and provided incredible customer service. When the initial design came back the colours were duller than I expected and they did a second pass to increase vibrancy free of charge. They clearly value customer satisfaction and service, and their wide variety of options and designs are awesome! I'll definitely order from them again.

I would definitely not recommend Kyle. We hired him for our wedding and it was really the only…read moremistake we made - every other vendor we had was great. It was a challenge for us to book a DJ since we are currently living in California so we couldn't meet him before the wedding in Victoria. I think one minute with this guy would have told us to go elsewhere. Kyle was unprofessional, showing up 2 hours later than the time he requested and not bringing the equipment with him that he had promised. He was also rude to both my parents and our guests. He complained constantly about everything. He even sent rude text messages to my friends correcting their spelling of band names they requested - who does that? I could have forgiven all this if he had been good at his job. He totally messed up the transition between songs during our ceremony. It couldn't have been more abrupt. He also insisted on playing all of these terribly mash-ups that he must have put together himself that nobody could possibly dance to instead of the songs that we were requesting. I don't want to make a laundry list of complaints I just want to warm others to look elsewhere for a DJ. I'm sure they are all better than Kyle.

I am quite surprised to see the poor review by A H. Kyle DJ'd our wedding and I was very happy with…read morehis service. I found him to be professional and punctual. Kyle provided the music for our ceremony at Beacon Hill Park and immediately after had to rush to our reception location to set up since our reception venue had tight time restrictions for set up. (He was not allowed to set up before the ceremony since it's a restaurant open for lunch). This only gave him about 2ish hours to get there and set up. We were quite concerned but he was quite confident that it could be done. Of course, it was all done when we got there (lights, speakers, and all) and I would have been fine if it was a bit behind schedule considering the circumstances. I had a list of songs I wanted to use and of course he was able to play all the unusual songs I had requested during the ceremony as well as most if not all the songs I requested during the reception. Some may say I was quite specific since I even had a list of certain genre of songs I wanted during entrance, cocktail hour,dinner time, and others for the dance portion and he follow through 100%. He was also our emcee which I fear would be impersonal but I wanted all my guests to enjoy themselves and he did an overall GREAT job. No awkwardness at all. I must also commend Kyle because he had no hesitation when we requested he be present for our unorganized rehearsal the day before the wedding and we are glad he did because it was helpful to learn our timing and he offered suggestions as well. He also took his time to contact our venue about set up and things he needed, one less thing I needed to worry about. I am also going to note that we also rented a projector screen that was awkwardly large from another vendor which was kind of a hassle for us to bring to the reception venue since they wouldn't have space to store it before the ceremony. Kyle offered to take it in his truck and set it up for us at the venue, as well as the set up the projector itself. At the end of the night, he even offered to return it for us since he had space in his vehicle. We couldn't believe it since again, one less thing to worry about. Because we are out of towners, we only met Kyle once or twice(rehearsal) before the big day but he was incredibly responsive to my many emails. I am more of an email person and when someone emails me within a few hours, I truly appreciate that. In terms of pricing, I didn't do too much shopping but he fit the bill just right for us and especially with the service we received, I would hire Kyle no question.

One of the best choices we made for our wedding was including DJ PTK…read more Our wedding involved some challenging venues - a friends farm and then a beach-party reception - but DJPTK made both settings sound great and even provided an impressive light-show for the beach. We also had some unusual and obscure music requests, but DJPTK had them all lined up and ready to go and played them at the perfect moments. Wedding planning is super stressful and I'm really grateful for the way he made his part of things totally stress free for us - he always responded to messages within minutes, was always willing to accommodate our changing plans, was really generous in working with us to find a price that fit our budget, and was always ready and willing to do whatever it took to help our vision come together. For example, it turned out we had to move the reception party further down the beach at the very last minute but Paul didn't even bat an eye - he just adjusted and made it happen. It was such a relief having someone there who was committed to making everything work no matter what. Overall, it was an awesome party, a totally stress free experience, fantastic value for the money, and most of all you could really tell that this wasn't just a job for him, he actually cared about making our day special and fun. He wanted to understand our vibe (from exiting the ceremony to Ja Rule to playing anime theme songs at the reception) and really worked to make sure it wasn't just some generic party - it was our party. Couldn't be happier with the result, I had an absolute blast and the whole thing felt so "us". 10/10 would recommend, and would hire him again in a heartbeat. An absolutely fantastic experience
