Thus, we rely on a network of generous harpists to let us rent. I had to prepare for a gig at my best friend's wedding in Bellingham, and Alishia opened her home to let me practice on her Style 30 for several hours, and didn't accept payment. She also also gave me excellent tips on purchasing harps and other harp-related matters. She had specific advice about the particular venue I was to perform in (Woodstock farm) and is very detail-oriented. Listen to the stuff on her website; it's awesome!

It gave so much meaning to our ceremony to have these songs incorporated (don't judge, Robyn is the shit) and we really appreciated her efforts. When we went to listen to her progress on the adaptation, we both totally cried, so we knew she was on the right track. Highly recommended!

We couldn't have been more pleased with Kevin and the ceremony he provided. Planning a wedding is…read morestressful, but doing it from another state makes it that much more difficult. My fiance and I struggled to find the right officiant until Kevin was recommended. From the beginning, he was friendly, engaged, and insightful. He took the time to get to know us (over the phone, then in person upon arrival to the island), even offering premarital counseling and resources. Kevin was the perfect blend of religion and personality we were looking for in our officiant. He walked us through all aspects of the ceremony, shared an extensive list of readings and vows we were able to customize, and even helped include my fiance's daughter into our ceremony. His experience working on the Roche Harbor staff provided insight into aspects of the wedding venue we hadn't even thought about. To say we had an ideal ceremony wouldn't do it justice. Kevin made everyone comfortable, with just the right mix of humor, sincerity, and religion. He came prepared and told our story perfectly. Kevin brought in aspects of our past, touched on the major themes that were important to us as a couple, and connected with our guests. We had SO MANY people compliment us on the quality of our ceremony and specifically call out our officiant. I wholeheartedly recommend "I Do ... San Juan Weddings" if you're looking for someone to provide a customized ceremony that fits you. Kevin was a real blessing and made our special day that much better!

Naro was very kind to all my dancers, patrons, and staff. Quick with a smile, and a conversation he blended right into my event capturing its real essence.

Our wedding pictures were extremely important to us and we found ourselves meeting with dozens of photographers throughout the greater Seattle area including Genaro.Out of all the photographers we met with, we got along with Genaro best and his sample albums he brought to the initial meeting were better than the seasoned photographers' that we met with! I felt so comfortable with Genaro that I had him take my bridal boudoir photos as well and they turned out stunning! If you want a photographer who is professional and warm and who puts a lot of consideration into his work Genaro is your guy! I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of a photographer for whatever service. - Courtney McDonald

Run, don't walk, to book him for a session. Not only did he go out of his way to change his own schedule to make our timeframe work, he did it with minimal notice and was an absolute pleasure to communicate with as we figured out the details. He is a true artist, as evidenced by the breathtaking images he captured for us. He has such an eye for catching those special moments; just looking at the pictures allows me to relive every bit of the emotion behind them. And incredibly quick turnaround time- we got our sample shots just days after the ceremony! Robert is so knowledgeable about the best locations and was so generous in giving us his time to take us to a number of incredible spots. Case in point, even as we dropped him off at the water taxi he had a few minutes to spare and offered to take more shots there! Overall, a phenomenal experience and highly recommend working with him if you get the chance. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Robert!!!
