What a fun place! A group of us came for my friend's birthday weekend. There are group rates when…read moreyou buy tickets as a bigger group. The different Selfie opportunities were very creative and cool. There were 2 other people from a different group taking pictures as well but this did not inhibit our opportunities as their session was ending. At first it felt awkward getting hyped up to take pictures but then we all branched out and started having a lot of fun. There is music going as well to make a cool environment. All the items are sanitized in between sessions. *The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because we did show up 15 minutes late which is completely our fault. She still told us we had an hour to take pictures but alerted us around the 40minute mark to say we had 5 minutes left. So we did not get a full hour session, again no ones fault but our own.

What a relief to have another box checked for our special day. Unlike other vendors that might offer DJ services, lighting, and...oh, a photo booth on the side, Corey specializes in what he does. You can see where he is constantly seeking unique photo booth equipment and reinvests in what he does. He created a special photo frame to match our colors and theme, and even offers a custom snapchat filter. On the day of our event, Corey was sure to seek us out! He provided us with the V.I.P. treatment, holding off our other guests as my husband and I enjoyed the props and the LED photo booth.

We hadn't been to our venues beforehand (nuts i know) but Ash did. She scoped out where to shoot, she helped to keep me calm, and even busted some moves on the dance floor. Our photos are so beautiful, they really do tell the story of the whole day. We didn't want a generic wedding photographer -- we wanted someone who would tell our whole story, in an interesting POV. We got exactly what we wanted. If I could do everything all over again, there would be things I would want to do differently, but one thing I would keep the same is my decision to hire Ash.

She was by far one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process. I look forward to using her for more milestones to come.

He was super nice and super calm. He suggested things that he thinks we should do, some of them we used and some of them we didn't, and he was very understanding and respectful of my ideas. He didn't push us to do something we didn't want. He played the songs I wanted and asked for. He understood my taste very well with the songs that I said he can add himself.

While I give Choice Entertainment high praise for their management of their DJ's, I have to share…read morethis review w/ the particular DJ my daughter & son-in-law chose for their wedding at the "Meet the DJ" event in Richmond. They selected Rick Pfamatter. I have to say, he was LESS than easy to work with. My daughter was so distraught because he was trying to get her to change the reception and cocktail hour time the month before the wedding. She had a 2pm wedding at St. Bridget Catholic Church in Richmond and then we were having a cocktail hour and reception starting at 6pm at The Wyndham Virginia Crossings. He insisted (REPEATEDLY) that she change the cocktail hour to 4pm because he said the wait in between would be "awkward". She explained that this was NOT possible and the guests were fully aware of their options. Many of our guests were coming from out of state and were actually staying at the Wyndham. Plus we had made it clear to our guests that there were options on the property to keep themselves occupied before the reception. This was not good enough for Rick. 4 weeks before the wedding, my daughter called me crying and asked me to "handle" him. I did and I am a Type-A person - EXTREMELY organized and detail oriented. I had to explain to him a minimum of 4 times that we were NOT changing the reception time or the cocktail hour. In the end, the reason he wanted to start earlier was because he thought the guests would see him preparing and he didn't want them to think he was unprepared! WHAT???!! I got a template from Rick that was completely disorganized with a timeline and "suggestions" from him on how to proceed with the reception. I thanked him for the suggestions and organized the entire event making a very detailed playlist (linked to YouTube so there would be no question as to the version of the tunes we wanted), and even a script for him to follow as I had a feeling he would go rogue on me the night of the wedding. We had a list for the cocktail hour, the reception hour, and the special dances, plus an entire playlist for the reception picked by my daughter, her fiance and our family. A trained monkey could have followed that script! For example, Rick had suggested that the bridal party be introduced and make a semi-circle on the dance floor so that when the bride and groom entered, they would dance in the middle. Well, THAT was ridiculous! How on earth are the guests supposed to see the first dance? I changed the "script" and specifically told him WHY we made the change. Wouldn't you know that when it came time to announce the parents and the bridal party he gave instructions to the brridal party to form a semi-circle! I nearly flipped! This was how we were going to start the evening? A battle of wills??? I stepped in front and told him and the group in no uncertain terms that the bridal party was going to proceed in front of the head table so they could watch the first dance and so the guests could all see them, as well. Apparently, everyone understood that made sense - EXCEPT Rick! I gave him over 60 minutes of classic romantic ballads to play throughout the dinner service and by the end of the my meal (and I was done quite early), he was playing upbeat tunes that were NOT on our list. I approached him and asked why he was not playing the playlist and he said "Oh, we finished through all of those! I wanted to pick the pace up a little." Again, people are enjoying a lovely meal and relaxing. I didn't want anyone to feel rushed! His choice of music was exactly what I did NOT want! Then when the special dances started, he did choose the selections we chose but decided to cut the dances short (for whatever reason) and cut my husband's dance with his daughter and my daughter's dance with her grandfather. I let that go. Perhaps he was short on time? Whatever....but by the time the reception started, he went completely off. I will give him credit for playing some of the highlighted songs we wanted but otherwise, he did his own thing playing a lot of remix CRAP and none of the 90's songs my daughter wanted played. Between the disco lights and him turning on the house lights in the middle of the reception by mistake, I was NOT impressed with his performance. When someone hands you a list of music, PLAY IT! He wanted to play games and have contests and make special announcements (repeatedly) but I told him I wanted none of that. As it turned out, he made way too many announcements during dinner and it was becoming annoying. No one needs to be told that the bride is going to dance with her father 30 minutes before she does it! I sincerely think he just wanted to hear himself talk and it was annoying - to everyone! In the end, we had a great time because we were a great crowd and were not going to let his music selections slow us down. But as far as following instructions, if you are a Type-A person who knows what you want, do NOT get Rick Pfamatter!

PJ did a wonderful job photographing our wedding in December of 2022. He took countless pictures we…read moreabsolutely love. He seemed to be having fun the whole time, which made us feel relaxed and comfortable. We're really impressed with his work, and my wife and I would highly recommend him! After viewing some of his portfolios on his site and instagram, we reached out to him about 6 months before the wedding. Since we aren't local to Richmond, he started the process with a few "ice breaker" questions and an introductory phone call to talk through our vision for the wedding, his process, and review the packages he offers. We needed a couple more hours of coverage than was offered in the packages, and he was flexible in making that work. All payments were painlessly done through an online portal. The day of the wedding, PJ was there on time to take pictures of the bridal party as they got ready. My wife commented that having him there felt perfectly natural. Arriving at the wedding was a bit... hectic (for other reasons), but PJ and his assistant went above and beyond to be helpful in the process, distributing the boutonnières and even helping some of groomsmen pin them on! After the ceremony, PJ was organized for the formals (he had the list we had sent him set as his phone background) and flexible as we snuck a couple extra group shots in. It was a relief to work with someone who added zero stress to the event! We had a bunch of fun and, at PJ's direction, got some artistic shots in with the bridal party in Monroe Park. He did a great job capturing the reception as well, making sure to grab our rings for a couple "artistic" shots and even pulling my wife and I aside for a few less formal photos. He had all of these creative ideas with little direction from us. Following the wedding PJ provided us our photos on his online portal. Starting with a smaller set of sneak peeks about three weeks after the wedding, then a highlight video and full set two or three weeks after that. The site had the ability to download the photos in high or mobile quality, hide photos from other viewers, and made it super easy to share with our family and friends.
