I surprised my wife with a dinner on the balcony of the 6th floor at The Vue for our 10th Wedding…read moreAnniversary. It was spectacular. My wife had no idea what was going on until she walked out onto the balcony and saw the the very nice layout of food & flowers. Heather was very helpful and instrumental in helping me pull this off. She made sure the setting was just right and even added some very nice flowers that made it very special. I was able to play the music from our wedding reception over the house sound system which was very nice. I guarantee it was a dinner that will not soon be forgotten!

Working with Chris on our wedding and engagement photos was a blast. He couldn't be nicer, is…read morealways smiling, and gets great shots surprisingly quickly. His style is artistic/journalistic in that he captures candid, well-composed shots but will also suggest that you adjust your body so you don't look completely awkward. My sister's wedding photographer wouldn't do that, and we ended up looking pretty awkward in a few shots (e.g., necks stretched, hands in weird places). His turn around time was AMAZING- we had our digital images in a couple of weeks. Many photographers guarantee your digital photos within the YEAR but quicker if you buy very expensive prints/albums from them. Chris is an honest businessman AND a talented artist. Even more, he's a pleasure to be around, and that goes a long way in the stressful hustle and bustle of your wedding day.

I've known Chris for over ten years, and when we got engaged one of the easiest decisions we had…read morewas who our wedding photographer would be. His natural talent at capturing emotion and light, and his ability to blend into your wedding party like a photo-ninja, will provide you with beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

We chose this place for our wedding after endlessly searching for an affordable venue. They have…read morevery reasonable pricing. Sally has been very pleasant to work with. She rents out her tables, chairs, other equipment, and various decor items or let you use them in the venue absolutely free. The outdoor part of the venue is gorgeous. There are various flowers and plants throughout. Really takes the pressure off of decorating yourself. Our wedding isn't scheduled until June next year but I know with Sally's help our wedding will be very stress free and beautiful. I highly recommend taking a look.

We also rented a podium and an archway...Sally even decorated the archway using my colors and it was beautiful. I viewed the facilities several times when working with Sally and if I had not wanted a home wedding I would have for sure used her chapel and garden settings to hold our event. Thank you Sally and Santiam Place for helping make my wedding perfect :-). Mrs. KR Howell

I've been to Ceramicafe a couple of times with my toddlers (2.5 and 4 years old), and it's become…read moreone of our fave new spots in Corvallis. The space is beautiful, very clean, and well-organized. It kept my kids busy and, surprisingly, calm! The relaxing and warm environment made the experience enjoyable for both them and me.

Will definitely be back and hope to sign up for one of the themed events they offer at some point, too.

I'm definitely so thankful I was referred to Naomi because she made my first experience the absolute best. She was so helpful in explaining the steps and info she needed.

She wasn't just an amazing photographer but she was also a great addition to our party! I would hire her again and would recommend her to anyone in the market.
