The…read morething that set her apart from the other officiants I was looking at was her website - it contains so much information, including faqs, services, sample ceremonies, and pricing. She had all the answers to my questions already! We picked the partially customized ceremony for our secular ceremony, and she drafted a couple versions for us to review. It was so easy communicating with her. We mostly emailed, but we scheduled an in person meeting when we were in town to meet up with our wedding vendors. She is extremely nice, organized, and professional. She took care of the paperwork after the wedding, so it is one less thing to stress about! Stop looking around because she will take care of you. We highly recommend her for any ministerial needs.

We got married at Pine Manor in September 2015 and I could not have asked for a more beautiful ceremony and the setting was perfect for us and the pretty garden made it feel really romantic. We selected the Everything Wedding for up to 30 guests and from there we had very simple decisions while Rev Pam and Liz her assistant did the rest. From the cake, to the violinist, vows, dance lessons, delicious food, music, beautiful bouquet, hair & makeup, wedding invitations, photography and drinks.It all was absolutely PERFECT! I must say I was kind of neurotic and emailed her a lot with random questions and requests and any request was no problem and all questions were answered quickly. She also allowed us to make payments up until the wedding which really helped. Not only is Rev Pam on top of every little detail but she's also very warm and kind and makes you feel at home and definitely makes your big day really special to you. BTW, our cake was Central Continental Bakery was amazing! We got so many comments about how delicious it was and how beautiful it looked. I gave Rev Pam a picture of the way I wanted our cake to look and she made it happen. I thoroughly recommend Pine Manor for anyone thinking of getting married. Mary & Rich Married Sept 5, 2015

His vendor profile caught our eye because of the good reviews, his big smile, and the Journey t-shirt he wore as he officiated someone's wedding (we're big 80's rock fans). Our initial communications with Rev. Brad were great. He responded quickly and didn't badger us with constant phone calls/texts/emails while we narrowed down our top officiants to meet up with. Once we decided to meet with him, we had a long, in depth meeting that lasted more than an hour. He happily walked us through all wedding planning timelines and what documents we would need to get our marriage license, as well as what his services would look like. We loved how interested he was in our love story, interests, and desires for our wedding day. Six months later, it was time for our final meeting before the wedding. Rev. Brad took his time to create the perfect ceremony for us. The meeting took about two hours and we left feeling very confident that we would have the ceremony of our dreams... until March came around. With COVID-19 on the rise and everything shutting down, like many other couples, we were forced to postpone our wedding. Rev. Brad was very understanding and was able to accommodate our new wedding date on June 7th which was later postponed again to October 2020 (fingers crossed). As weeks went by COVID-19 kept going strong and our wedding license kept collecting dust on our table, about to expire. So, we decided to elope. We called Rev. Brad and asked if he would be willing to marry us in a quick, socially distanced ceremony at a nearby park. He said "absolutely" and was able to marry us in a very sweet, intimate ceremony during a gorgeous day in April with both sets of parents attending via videocall. We are looking forward to having our big (or at least bigger) celebration in October when Rev. Brad can tell our love story in front of our friends and loved ones. Whether you're looking to have a big ceremony or a small, intimate elopement, we absolutely recommend Rev. Brad.

They have an awesome online planning tool on the website that makes it super easy to pick out songs and plan your reception timeline, etc. I was really nervous picking a DJ cause I've been planning my wedding music since I was like 10, and I knew exactly what I wanted-- a lot of old school, non-cheesy, not-typical-wedding songs and I wasn't sure how an experienced DJ would feel about my need for total control LOL!! But Eric and my DJ, Mark, were both awesome! like I said, you are able to go online and input the songs for all the traditional dances and intros, then you pick about 60 songs: 20 must-play, 20 others you'd like to hear, and 20 don't-play (which was cool, cause I wanted NO chicken dance, hokey pokey, wonderful tonight, love shack, barfy cliche wedding songs). I was also pretty adamant about the slow songs I wanted. Mark did an AWESOME job of staying true to my list while also adding in some surprise songs that I hadn't thought of but flowed perfectly with the songs I picked. He was also really good at reading the crowd and played stuff that got everyone involved. The dance floor was packed the whole night, my grandma line-danced to Robin Thicke, and my husband's aunt danced on the table to some Motown, so I'd say the evening was a success! The prices were reasonable, and they had a lot of optional add-ons like up lighting, slideshows, etc, which I didn't use but it's nice to know they are available. Bottom line: I trusted the Music Boyz with the part of my reception that was THE MOST important to me, and they totally delivered! I would definitely recommend!!

He has a great voice to MC an event; is very professional in both appearance and demeanor. He did music for both the ceremony and the reception. He was the first vendor at the courthouse that afternoon to set up. For the ceremony, my daughter, had him do about 15 seconds of one song to which he looped so it played over again without any problems. She had some pretty set ideas about what she didn't want at the reception and he stayed true to that. People were dancing and having a great time all evening! When the shuttle bus was late bringing guests and we decided to delay the ceremony, he offered to go talk to the caterers. He actually worked it all out with them which took the stress off of us. This was going totally above and beyond! We are not from Crown Point, and this is our first daughter married, so we had no experience with DJ's in the area. I would totally trust Eric and the Music Boyz for any event.
