PA Doves of Love and our God, provided my Family and Friends with the most Amazing Dove Release as…read morea Celebration of the Life of my nephew/son Emmett who passed in 2021 and would have turned 40 this May 3, 2024. Since we began talking about this event, Bill was helpful, responded always in a timely manner, gave great suggestions, arrived before time, and performed the Service Wonderfully. I thank God for holding off the rain for most of the day. A week before, the rain expectancy was 70%. I prayed earnestly believing that it would not rain, as the Doves then would be unable to perform. From 1:00p.m. till at least 6:00p.m., it did not rain in the areas needed for the event to occur. How Great is Our God!!! And we Thank Him for His Faithful Servant Bill.

Our proposal photos were beautiful, but our wedding experience and thereafter was extremely…read moredisappointing. Our contract specified three shooters, yet we were only provided two for most of the time, with no adequate warning or explanation. I was told the night before our wedding the Lockes wouldn't even be present at my wedding which was shocking because we hired them, not their team. A "third shooter" was briefly present earlier in the day, then replaced, leaving us understaffed for the remainder of the event. As a result, important moments were missed. This third shooter also had never shot a wedding. She will say this is okay because she worked with us on our payments because I was out of a job and my husband was undergoing insane health concerns (getting diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and epilepsy nbd). While the initial work was strong, the failure to meet contractual obligations and the lack of communication make this a vendor we cannot recommend for a wedding. We also never did an engagement shoot and were told we could get a book with our photos as a replacement this has not been the case. They also already have our address. I also requested RAW video of my father / daughter dance with my disabled father and our vow exchange because that apparently doesn't come with the package we got. I offered to pay and was told it was okay and I didn't need to. I have followed up 5 times since February with no reply.

We opted to buy raw footage that was offered to us. We did receive it and a refund for that portion was offered/received to make it right.

A wonderful Officiant for our wedding! He came to our rehearsal and helped make sure we knew…read moreexactly what we were doing. He placed a golf tee to help mark where me(the bride) and my father stop. and he made sure rings could not be dropped or lost by having us really pull them from his fingers. He spoke clearly and made our vows easy to repeat. We asked for a short and sweet ceremony, and he gave us exactly that. It was perfect!

I placed all the planning and instructions over the phone from North Carolina to Butler PA ..Guess what I put my faith in Mary Ellen and it turned out beautifully! It was decorated in a Butterfly theme. The tables and chairs and tablecloths were beautiful. It is air conditioned and quite roomy. The food was terrific. We had some appetizers, Ice Tea, Coffee, and A Gorgeous Cake ( 4 layer ) and a Ice Cream Sundae bar. Everyone, including my Mother in Law was thrilled with the place.
