Rev. Bill is the best! My fiancee (now husband) and I met him for coffee in late 2017, and after…read moreone meeting knew that we wanted to move forward with booking him for our 9/8/18 wedding. Throughout the entire process, Rev. Bill was incredibly responsive, met all timelines set and made everything so easy. We did not have a really clear idea of what we wanted for our ceremony, except that we wanted it to be on the shorter side and aligned with our personalities. He wrote the most perfect ceremony which we were able to review and edit months before the big day. We met again about 2 months before the wedding to go over everything, and again our minds were totally put at ease. We had no idea what we were doing, and Rev. Bill's guidance was invaluable. About 3 weeks before the wedding we decided we really wanted to have a rehearsal. Rev. Bill fit it into his schedule with no problem, and was great about giving us, our families and the wedding party the guidance we needed. On the day of the wedding, everything went perfectly! We invited him and his wife to join us for the reception, and it felt like they were part of our group of family and friends. We are SO glad he was available for our wedding date! In addition to him being a great person, Rev. Bill submitted our marriage license right after the wedding, and emailed us a copy with a cute word cloud. He is sending us a bound copy of our ceremony as a keepsake, and even shared a guided meditation in the weeks leading up to the wedding to keep us calm. Rev. Bill is the best, and we would absolutely recommend working with him for your ceremony!

There are not enough stars to truly express how we feel about Love Story Weddings!!! Reverend Ed…read moreturned our wedding into a fairy tale. He took what could have easily been a few short vows and kiss... into a beautiful story. Our family and friends not only witnessed our unity, but learned about our journey from the very beginning. They heard how we met, how we grew to who we are and even our little inside jokes. They were reminded why we wanted them there in the first place... and they had FUN! Guests are still reaching out to tell us how much they loved our ceremony, thanks to Reverend Ed. Throughout the planning process, he reminded us what we were doing all of this for! More than that, I can confidently say I fell more in love with my husband on my wedding day, as we were taken on a journey through our own lives. I am so incredibly happy we booked Love Story Weddings for our special day. It positively would not have been the same without Reverend Ed.

Rev. Brad presented a beautiful ceremony! It was everything I wanted and the guests enjoyed it!…read moreHowever, he lacks punctuality and professionalism when it comes to arriving on time to the ceremony, communication the week before the wedding, and submitting your legal document to the county clerk in a timely fashion. He didn't return my many attempts at contacting him over the course of 1 month until he noticed my 3 star review on Google. Then a month later when I mentioned that I would add a 1 star review if he did not submit my paperwork to the county within the next 2 weeks, he threatened me with his lawyer. So not worth the extremely high price for his service!

We used David as the photographer for our wedding on 5-12-17. From the very beginning he asked if I…read morehad specific shots that I wanted and I said no. Looking back, there are some photos I wish I had remembered to get. Advice to couples: send a shot list. I had a couple but didn't think I'd need them as I knew the photos I wanted. Well, of course with the anxiety and excitement of the day, it all went out the window lol. I do wish he had given more direction as we were all kind of oblivious as to what we should be doing. David was great and handled our rowdy groomsmen with ease. We were able to get group shots before he sent the wedding party back to the bus allowing my husband and I alone time for personal shots which I loved. At the reception, he blended well with the party and I'm sure captured super cute pics of our ring bearer and flower girls dancing. I saw a few of the shots he took and I'm so excited for him to send them to us! You can't beat his pricing and he was great to spend the day with.

He is very upbeat, vocal, able to work the crowd, and ensure everyone is having a good time! He really did set the tone of the wedding from beginning to end. In addition, we had a little bit of a different type of music selections for our wedding and he was more then accommodating. My husband is into metal music and I am into country music so we wanted to make sure we could express ourselves in the music played at the wedding. David Fuller hit it out of the park! We had metal music played during dinner with country intermixed with top 40s for dancing, it worked out so well. Everyone is still talking about how awesome the music was at the wedding and we were married a month ago!

Rev. Phil was a great and lucky find. My husband and I don't really have the same spiritual views…read moreand we almost went with a friend officiating the wedding. When I changed my mind and decided I didn't want to leave God out of our wedding, I said that I would pay for and find the officiant. I admit I didn't shop around. My wedding planning approach was one and done. Once I found something I liked, I was done "shopping." I liked that Rev. Phil offered a free intro session before committing to his services. After the first one hour meeting, my husband also liked him and we were sold. We did the full package and I'd recommend it. The love story was definitely the best part of the service. It's true what the other reviewers said, people talked about that love story for weeks and months after the wedding. We were willing to make fun of ourselves and this really helped carry-off the fun of the story. Rev. Phil has a great knack for telling a story. Everyone was laughing, including us. So many of our pictures show me looking around to the crowd laughing at my ridiculous self and trying to make eye contact with someone mentioned in the story. We were also able to incorporate a touching candle-lighting memorial for my husband's deceased parents, as well as readings that were a mix of religious and secular. Rev. Phil is very detail-oriented and will give you explicit instructions and details about each part of the service. I found this helpful, as I didn't want to worry about all the details myself. As he says, he's the professional and will take the stress of this part of the wedding off of you. As a bonus, I heard he even "fooled" by super-Catholic mom by wearing his collar. No grief for no Catholic wedding! Rev. Phil really helped make our wedding a perfect, unique and special night! I'd recommend him to anyone!

If you want JOY and if you want EASE, hire Marz! I hired Marz for my son's bar mitzvah. He and his…read moreteam were so fabulous that years later I sought out Marz for an adult birthday party. Marz knows what he is doing with every aspect of a party - he is fabulous at working with you to develop the party timeline, and he is a master at creating the energy and environment you want. He is also a pro with logistics. He creates joy for different age groups at the same party and creates a great environment for a purely adult party He has incredible expertise and depth of knowledge regarding music and people. He plans ahead but also reads the room and adjusts the music accordingly. At both parties, Marz had people having a blast on the dance floor. At my adult party, people had a great time dancing and one woman said she and her husband had such a great time dancing that they "felt young again." (They are a very fun couple in their 50s). Marz is also compassionate and kind. He understands and cares about people. I felt cared for and taken care of. Marz is a joy creater. If you want JOY and if you want EASE, he is the person to emcee/DJ your party!
