We searched around a lot for the right photographer, which is harder than you'd think. Even though…read moreshe lives in New Hartford, she serves the entire Central New York and Syracuse area and was happy to come to our wedding, which was in Syracuse. Lisa was fantastic throughout--very prompt to return e-mails, very accommodating. Her work was great--she got some really interesting shots of us, but also let us just be ourselves and do our thing (instead of having us do weird poses). She has great packages and did ours for the whole day--which is nice since a lot of photographers mess around with hourly rates. When she was there, she was a fly on the wall when we needed her to be (i.e., during the ceremony and the reception) and proactive when it was most important, such as helping guide my wife through the details (i.e., how to cut the cake) and get people organized for group photos. She was such a pleasure to work with!

Wow! Really unexpected adorable little place in Morris (really small town in upstate NY between…read moreNorwich and Oneonta, NY)! Just attended a beautiful wedding there Saturday evening and was super impressed with the event venue! Modern buildings with lovely facilities (nice woodwork, nice layout, well-apportioned kitchen, modern bathrooms). Perfect for the wedding of approximately 150 people and easy parking. Limited cell service, but let's face it, this is in the middle of nowhere in upstate NY. If you logged into the WiFi at the venue though - worked great: nice perk! bathrooms were really clean and they had little toiletries and emergency products for people etc. The bridal suite was set up very nicely as well - really well done! Check out their website and Facebook! Much nicer venue than almost any wedding I've been to in this particular (very economically-depressed) area. Was super glad it was this pretty for the bride and groom who put a lot into making their wedding a fabulous one! They had Dinosaur Barbecue (which was fantastic!) catering and a cute bar setup! Very sweet venue! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a NICER wedding or event venue in that area. https://www.thegroveofbv.com

Our daughter's wedding was recently held at the Grove of Butternut Valley. We found the Grove to…read morebe the area's best-kept secret! We were so pleased with this facility. A very fair-priced venue and from the beauty of the grounds to the quality of the buildings (a lovely chapel and reception hall), to the helpfulness of the staff, everything was superb! They set up a nice party tent outside the reception hall on the patio, for hors d'oeuvres and a bar. The Grove catered the food themselves and the meal was top notch! And what was monumental for us, was the pleasant attitude of Chris and her staff and their determined effort to make the day a huge success - which they did! As we discussed some challenges in the planning, Chris confidently said to us, "We can make it work"!! From that point I knew it was going to! What a wonderful day it turned out to be! From planning - to clean-up, working with the staff at the Grove was a joy! We highly recommend this venue. John and Linda Hunter of New Lisbon, NY

DJ Mikey was absolutely incredible for our wedding this past weekend!! He showed up early to set up…read moreand helped us with a MAJOR glitch we had involving the song for our first wedding dance, and also the music for our cocktail hour. To be clear, he wasn't supposed to start playing until after dinner, but THANK GOD he was there because I'm not sure what we would've done about our first dance AND cocktail hour if he hadn't been. He was such a calming and kind force as well, while the rest of us were running around like crazy. The technology he brings with him was SO FUN also - everyone had a blast with the text-to-photo screen - I also loved the lighting. He played the PERFECT playlist, PERFECT! As the bride, I needed to go mingle and thank all of our guests, but I kept wanting to dance and dance - every song was a HIT! DJ Mikey really made the party at our wedding, we got so many compliments on the music. It was just the perfect day and DJ Mikey was a big part of it! Thank you!!!!

She hiked with for hours to the top of a mountain in the Adirondacks where we got married. The ascent was steep and it was over 90 degrees! We felt very comfortable around Britt and the pictures turned out to be magical! She is an artist who is so incredibly good at capturing love and joy - we cannot thank her enough for having joined us on our special day. Booking her was the best decision we have made (apart from getting married itself :)). We are so blown away by her pictures that we would love for her to capture all of our major future events - definitely our anniversary in 10 years! Thank you, Britt!
