Their pricing was extremely competitive and they provided excellent customer and professional communication. They did not try to up-sell us, and were accommodating to our budget & last-minute changes. I have worked with other local vendors in the past, who provide similar equipment rentals and set-up services for special events and conventions etc. They notoriously sent very low bids on the front-end, and then tacked on all (relatively industry-standard) set-up fees etc after the event. As a savvy consumer, I encourage you to do your homework and always check out the competition; I'm definitely glad that I did! (I just wish I had found them years ago!) I'm sure we will use Veal Services again in the future for events at the BJCC. They are local, family-owned company. There is a reason that they have been in business for 40 years....because they do it right!

They are exceptionally pleasant, attentive, detail-oriented, and super, super organized! We booked the Taylors many months before our daughter's April 2014 wedding because we fell instantly in love with them and their work! Kelli is a wonderful resource for anything related to wedding planning in Birmingham, which proved to be a huge help since we are fairly new to the area. Both Kelli and Daniel take stunning photographs and each manages to somehow capture those little moments on THE DAY that later make for heirloom pictures. There were so many amazing photos from our daughter's wedding and reception that she and our son-in-law struggled to choose pictures (from more than 800) for their wedding album. Simply the best, hands down!

She was amazing!!! She arrived early. She had a copy of our contract including every special detail I wanted photographed.

In group shots, she directed people on how to stand to look the best. She. Was. Amazing. Worth every penny! Additionally, within a few days of the wedding, she sent me a "preview" of her favorite shots which included a slideshow of 84 images. WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHER!!!

My fiancé at the time and I toured the venue a month out before he actually propose. We knew that we were going to be getting married the following year so we wanted to start scoping out some venues. This was probably one of the first venues that we saw, and once we walked on site, we knew that it was the place. Misty is truly a godsend and her husband Victor was a true visionary. I was a little nervous because I am a control freak and, I'm working on that ,however, when it came to the actual day of the event, oh my goodness. All of the planning was well worth it. We had the opportunity to do a food tasting to choose what foods we would be offering on the day of the wedding. The food was just as good if not better on the wedding day as it was when we did the food tasting. We had the opportunity to choose our cake flavors, and the design of the cake exceeded our expectation. But for me, it was the ease of the day and seeing my vision board fully come to life. I provided pictures from a Pinterest board, and when I say it was as if the pictures came off the screen of the phone into reality. I was in tears at the rehearsal, the day of, throughout the whole process and not wanting it to end. The staff on site during the day of made sure the wedding went off without a hitch. I know people say weddings are stressful, but I can truly say there was no stress throughout the entire nine months of planning, there was no stress the day of the wedding, accommodating almost 200 of our family and friends, there was no stress at all. For the cost, I would say it was more than reasonable, considering other venues and vendors. I will say that we did look at other places we did meet with other vendors and for the value of what we got our wedding looked and felt like a million bucks! The payment plan helped us to make sure that we had cleared all balances prior to the wedding. I would suggest getting a plan ahead of time and making your payments prior to the due dates so that it does not feel so overwhelming with the cost. Nonetheless again the cost was very reasonable for what we received in the execution of the day and the overall wedding itself. I can continue to go on and on and about my wedding day. All of our guests walked away, feeling as if they were truly a part of a fairytale. I highly recommend this venue for anyone who is particularly busy and really cares about details. Having someone at the venue who equally cares about detail and has the time that you don't have to put into your wedding day being what it needs to be. This is definitely the place for you. If I could do it all over again I would.
