Stayed here for a nice weekend getaway to see family and hike. Sorely needed…read more This B&B is beautiful and welcoming. Pat and his wife are so kind and accommodating. The house has been redone and the decor inside is new and contemporary but still fits with the period of the older home. Rooms are beautiful, clean and well-kept and there was a Roku on the tv with wifi. The back door has a keypad lock so you can come and go as you please with ease and there was a welcome package with snacks, jam, and a handwritten welcome note. Location is great because, with ample parking in the back of the home, you can walk around the town to antique, explore and eat at one of a dozen or more restaurants. They don't do the traditional breakfast but had a small bar well-stocked with coffee, tea, bananas, fresh pastries, and juice and water. Enough for me! Usually I kind'a wanna go out and explore on my own anyway and the town has several nice places for brunch (Spoon and Spindle was my fav). Pat was great and communicative through email/text but wasn't hovering in the way some B&B owners are. There to greet me but then left me alone to enjoy the stay but was available for questions if I had any.... perfect! Would absolutely come back any time.

Pat and Monica were excellent hosts. Every room was well decorated, well maintained, and clean. The common areas are beautiful and, once again, well maintained. Every morning the Keurig coffee maker was filled with water and ready, with cups, along with bottled water. Pat or Monica would check in periodically and were very responsive the few times we needed them. Finally, the Holladay House is located in downtown Orange. There are excellent restaurants and bars within walking distance. If you are staying in Orange, or close by, we highly recommend staying at the Holladay House.

What I liked about Silver Streak was the moments he captured and how beautifully he put them to…read moremusic. Then, I saw the price and I was like wow, one of the ones that I like the most is actually the most reasonable for a change. I thought that everything would go beautifully. Unfortunately, that is not how things went down. Jason, the videographer for my wedding, did a great job of being invisible. He captured all of the key moments. I felt like some of the decor shots could have been better but, overall, I was very pleased with what he captured. While the moments captured were nice, the quality was questionable. Even the website sample films looked grayed out and fuzzy. I noticed this, but I put it to the back of my mind in my pre-wedding euphoria. In retrospect, the video quality is not professional at all--the color is dark, there is a persistent gray haze and fuzziness over everything, even in bright sunlight. This is a question of equipment quality, which no amount of editing will fix. I would not make the same decision again based on this alone. Don't believe me? Look at his sample videos side-by-side with those of another videographer, and you'll see it. This is the HD age, and the videos do not even look as good as what you might get from still images from a cell phone. The problems came during the editing phase. I was well aware of the contract policy--1 hour of free revision, $50/hour subsequently. I don't expect anyone to work for free. Time is money. Well, ever notice how Silver Streak is the only one charging more for full-length videos than highlights. How does this make sense? The by-the-hour pricing is completely abused from the time you get your first cut. This way, the final price of the highlights video comes out to around the same as the full-length or more. Why so many edits? You tell me. My ceremony was well under an hour, yet the unity candle ceremony was not in my highlights video. We only had 7 people in our bridal party, yet not all of them appeared in the video. My brother escorting my mom down the aisle was absent. What was there were 3 shots of the cake table, 2 or 3 shots of the table décor, and a horrific clip of my dress hanging lifelessly in front of what looked like the door to a preschool classroom. The father-daughter dance clip was two seconds, none of it with my dad dipping me or spinning me, and he did an awesome job of making his dance very cinematic. It was fun, not just dancing around in a boring, endless circle. Why were these things curiously absent? It's elementary, you see--remember the $50/hour charge. Mike was not trustworthy in the end. He left out key moments intentionally, forcing you to buy more revision time. That is the story behind those videos that you do not see. Unfortunately, he was just out to take advantage of the wedding euphoria. You want the perfect video and you'll pay for it, whatever the cost.

His editing skills are very good, with smooth transitions and pacing, the music he chose worked well, he made excellent color corrections, and the audio track was moderated well. My only criticism was with his choice of clips selected. Key family members were omitted in the 1st draft of the highlight video, which had to be corrected in post. I notice this was a problem for another reviewer as well. Overall, we were quite pleased and would highly recommend Ike and his team!

Melissa made time to meet with my website designer to hear her needs and also went above and beyond to find the PERFECT location for the shoot, especially during the winter and during a global pandemic. Melissa got to know me and the brand I was trying to create. She did her research and came prepared with a shot list. During the shoot, she made sure we checked the box on all of the shots I wanted, and there were a lot. I have a complex business with lots of services, and she nailed it. Melissa made me feel comfortable and at home. Getting photos taken can be very vulnerable; her patient and soothing guidance made me feel like I could be myself, and that showed up in the photos. The photos came out amazing. As a former performing artist, I have done many shoots and this is by far the best shots of me I have ever seen. I received the photos back within two weeks, as promised. Melissa took time to retouch everything and remove any "uglies," so the experience of viewing my photos was just as joyful as taking them. She has a great eye and chose her top favorites to help direct my choices. I can't recommend Melissa enough - I will surely never hire another photographer again. I have found my person! - Lauren Green, Owner and Executive Director, Dancing with Markers®.
