They weren't just your typical bartenders; they were true party enhancers. They were able to read our guests well and worked swiftly & efficiently keeping our drinks flowing. Their friendly and attentive demeanor set such a fantastic tone with all our guests. The highlight, though, was how they had created custom themed cocktails specifically for the event. It was such a delightful and unexpected touch that made the birthday girl and everyone else feel so special. A definite 5 stars all around - we will absolutely be booking with them again in the future.

My husband and I had been legally married for years, but we had never had a ceremony. This wasn't…read moreabout paperwork or legality. It was about finally having a meaningful, intentional ceremony we chose to invest in. At first, Kara was warm, communicative, and made me feel confident trusting her with something so important. About a week before our wedding, severe thunderstorms were forecast for our forest location, so Kara, my photographer, and I agreed to reschedule. The new date was chosen based on Kara's confirmed availability after her Disney vacation and then confirmed with my photographer. Leading up to the new date, all of our communication reflected the correct date, including Kara sending me "angel numbers" (m/d/yy) and their meaning of the new date. There was no confusion about when the ceremony was supposed to happen. Five days before the ceremony, she messaged me saying she wanted to touch base for my event tomorrow. I corrected her and confirmed again from our texts that it was Friday. She then said her fiancé had booked a spontaneous second vacation and they would be leaving the day before my wedding. She reassured me she would still make it work by driving separately, about 1.5 hours each way to and from her spontaneous 2nd vacation, to officiate. Less than 24 hours before my wedding, she called to say her car "wouldn't start" and she could not come. She offered to send a friend in her place. I was given only a first name, no last name, no reviews, and no online presence I could verify. There had never been any discussion that a substitute officiant might be used. When looking for a link for reassurance, I was told, "I forgot she deleted her fb ", which added more uncertainty. With no time left, I felt like this was a decision I didn't make. Because we eloped, the ceremony was the entire focus of our wedding day. Instead of being excited and preparing, I spent the night before crying. I arrived at my wedding puffy-eyed from crying the entire night before, emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed. So much of the experience was overshadowed by trying to process a last-minute cancellation while scrambling to see if the ceremony would even happen. Her friend did step in, but she was sent the wrong ceremony script and read the incorrect version. Kara did not waive her fee despite canceling the night before. We still proceeded because our photographer could not be rescheduled solely due to the officiant canceling less than 24 hours before the wedding because the officant chose to go on a spontaneous 2nd vacation that overlapped a date she had previously committed to professionally and that had specifically been scheduled around her own availability. Hours before the ceremony, Kara offered to officiate another date for free or pay a "rescheduling fee," but this would have been more than a rescheduling fee but Kara had already been informed of that before making the "offer." It would have meant the amount in full, risking thousands, with my photographer (treated as a cancelation for reasons stated above) with no written agreement in place. I could not make that kind of financial decision based on a text. A week later, I saw Kara had officiated another wedding in my area the very next day after my elopement, after I had been told mine could not happen. After canceling, she never READ or responded to my messages, even though I reached out calmly explaining the impact on our wedding. Almost a year later, this is still painful. Our ceremony was the most important part of our wedding day, and the experience cannot be redone. I would not leave this review if my messages had been acknowledged. I don't want anyone else to go through this.

amazing to work with! kara was all around great and made our day so special HIGHLY recommendread more

I would highly recommend him!

My fiancé and I booked Joelle for engagement photos. They turned out horrible. Awkward…read moreangels,poses, in almost every picture one of us is making a weird face. I paid $250 for 20 pictures. She provided 40 pictures. Quality over quantity and none of them were good. When speaking to her about this and possibly reshooting or getting a refund she said she stands by her work and she would not reshoot. I deleted the entire email link she gave me because I didn't even want to look at the pictures. I am so upset and so disappointed. This pictures really meant a lot to my fiancé and I. I was very excited and now I'm really just heart broken. I do not recommend couples photos. Over all she seemed like a nice person and other photos may be better but couples photos and god forbid wedding pictures I wouldn't bother at all. Just over all very upsetting. **update*** She was not "blind sided" as we had an entire conversation of me begging to reshoot giving her the benefit of the doubt that it was an off day because her website did not look like this. When she wouldn't I asked for a refund and expressed how I really was not happy and how everything was just awkward. She said she "stood by her work" she said no one else had ever told her they didn't like their photo. Another persons review on "the knot" says otherwise (and they were someone's wedding photos and involve breach of contract). Examples of the "professional" photos Joelle took. You can see that they are awkward and unflattering. The picture of the ring you can see orange outlines all over my hand for her "edit". Which I believe her edits are just filters and lots of color enhancing not actual edits. She even provided "glamor edits" within 5 minutes to see if I would like them which was a weird and distorted makeup filter over my face in serval pictures. The reason I didn't want the focus on my pregnancy is because it is still very early and I have not even shared with many friends or close family members yet. Which I had told Joelle during our session. In fact I didn't even tell her I was pregnant a referral told her. The fact that she even brought that up during a response to a negative review is completely inappropriate and shows a level of unprofessionalism I didn't even think was possible. I don't think I'm a model by any means but my self confidence is not that low. When I said I was upset and "struggling" I got so emotional because these pictures were so important to me and she wouldn't budge and I started to blame myself. But it is not my fault that I got ripped off and bad photos. I was so polite when I had told her I wasn't happy. I debated even saying anything at all but was encouraged to speak up because they were expensive and I really wanted to love my photos. I trusted her to tell me if the weather would not work she as the "professional" told me she was comfortable and confident to go through with it. She didn't show me the photos as they were taken. She stopped at the end and quickly ran through the photos on the tiny little camera screen. As someone who doesn't know a thing about photography I was not very critical of the 1 inch by 1 inch screen and the rapid run through of pictures. When I actually got the photos back however I was able to see how terrible they are. None of my pictures are "wind blown" they are just bad photos. You can tell she's has no professional training and was probably a bored house wife who got a Nikon for Christmas and decided to make a career of it. How absolutely horrific.

The pictures were done nicely and she was easy to work with during the session, but did not follow…read morethrough with editing she promised (holes in the wall, scratch on leg, and tag showing) and the "free" book provided, which I had to remind her about three time, had her water marked name on two pictures and the pictures that I asked to edit in the book were not edited. When confronted about concerns, I was told she stands by her work. She did not even try to make the images better and did not look at the book. If this is the work she stands by, I would not recommend her. I had seen her work with another client and my product was not like my friend's work.
