When we met them both, we immediately knew we wanted them to do our wedding. It was the combo deal that did us in. We were getting all the photos that I could possibly want plus the choice of fun and music for the wedding and reception. We loved all of the ideas and they definitely understood and loved all of ours. This was very important to us because we knew that Anthony would be controlling the flow of the entire night. Also important that Gina get the fun photos and quick and painless family photos that we wanted. We had multiple meetings and much communication back and forth til we were satisfied of what we wanted. Anthony and Gina really did most of the work with just a little guidance from us. Even in emails I received from prior to the wedding, they were just as excited for our wedding as we were- which I loved. I also loved that we could go online and select the music prior to the event at our leisure plus veto also music ahead of times. Gina ran the camera and got in the most important pictures that I was looking for. There's not much that I can say about the actual wedding day besides that it was absolutely amazing and perfect! Cant say enough how smooth everything went from family photos to the fun of the reception. The music, the lights, everything! I would recommend using Shoots and Sounds for any event! :)

Probably more surprising since I lived just up the street from the venue, in an efficiency apartment at 17th and Pleasant, there in the Sherman Hill neighborhood for two(ish) years in the early '90s. The first place I'd had of my own after getting out of the US Navy in 1992.... I went with a friend to see Michael Blaustein. We used valet parking for a 730 PM show. Staff was great to work with on arrival, while finding our seats, to exiting after the performance. The inside of Hoyt Sherman Place is beautiful...and whether you're on the main floor or up in the balcony... There's not a bad seat in the house! A really great experience!

My family and I had some last minute orders for some side dishes and Cyd and her team stepped up to the plate! (pun intended) The glazed carrots were perfect and tasted great! And the 4 cheese au gratin potatoes were amazing! My family has now decided to use Cyd's Catering for all the holiday meals. Quotes from several family members "Wow, this Cyd's Catering has really made my Easter dining experience the best!" " Do you say 4 cheese potatoes? What, I thought you could only make 3 cheeses? So cool!" "Not sure how they did it, but did you see how they cut those carrots, somebody has some skills!" "Cyd's Catering is not only changing the Easter experience for the better, but they are also changing the world for the better too!" "Amen, Cyd's Catering, you are my new spirit animal!" Thank you again for making my family Easter so special! Peace Shane K
