Kirk was initially really great to work with. We were very straightforward about having curated…read moreplaylists with specific vibes and confirmed that it was important to have these songs played. He advertises himself as being Spotify friendly and we gave him playlists as such. Quick communicator and easy going. Kirk interrupted us multiple times throughout the night, following us (the couple) around as we re-entered to talk to us, take photos, and taking photos and videos of us and our guests. He was directed to step to the side for the dinner and instead was seated at a guest table with our friends. When it came time to do dances, he turned the music off and left to take a brief break - not a problem if the music had continued, but he left us without sound. During the reception songs lagged between playing, songs by the same artist were stacked instead of spread apart, and a song would start for a second, then stop and he would play something else. He was often wandered away from his station to socialize, which affected the music flow. He followed us and our guests around all night, asking what we wanted to hear, and would solicit requests from the crowd between songs despite my MULTIPLE prompts to continue with the playlist I made for this event. Many of our songs were missed which I ended up disappointed by but I didn't feel I should have to pull up the list to tell him what to play when I already made one. His wife arrived to pick him up at the end of the night, flashing her lights and shouting for him which my guests noticed. To top it off, after being irritated by the way services went, we had to pay him and he gave me the final total at the end of my wedding night since he didn't plan ahead for travel fees after multiple requests to get it finalized prior to. Overall disappointed and I wish I could let it go, but it did affect my night unfortunately and was a huge cost for a disappointing service.

Kirk is a really great guy and really nice to be around. I was a bit disappointed with the music at…read moreour wedding, however. I had a list of 'must plays' that I spent months and months putting together. Each song was really important to me and my husband, and something I couldn't imagine not having play at our wedding. During the dancing, however I was hearing lots of songs not on the list, which is fine, but most of the songs on our list did not get played. This was really disappointing. He played a couple songs twice, at which point I realized I needed to be reminding him of the songs on our list one-by-one, which was difficult to do in the moment because I didn't have the list on me and I really just wanted to be out on the dance floor not having to worry about anything. We also had put together some artists/genre guidelines for music to be played during dinner, and the music that end up getting played was not what we had suggested. He emailed us 2 days before the wedding asking for songs to be played during dinner, which was a little frustrating because I had already put together a list months before and sent to him with plenty of time. I didn't want to have to be worrying about this 2 days before the wedding when we were traveling and seeing family. Overall, if your music is really important to you and you are really excited about particular longs being played, I would have your list printed out so that there is no ambiguity on the day-of. If you just want some wedding classics played and aren't too particular about the selection, he will absolutely show up and do a great job and is great to be around. He is a great guy, just didn't seem to remember our list, and to be honest it will always disappoint me that those songs didn't get played.

Then look no further because Becky and Brian are your dream team. Seriously, these two didn't just show up, they saved our day. They're not just your planners, photographers, and officiants; they're the dynamic duo you never knew you needed. We were that indecisive couple who couldn't pick a location to save our lives, and not once did Becky or Brian make us feel like a burden. Instead, they reassured us every step of the way that it was our day, and they were down for whatever we wanted. When life threw us a curveball and our plans changed, they were right there with solutions and minimizing any stress we could've had. They showed up early, asked how they could help, and did it all out of care not for a price, just because they genuinely wanted our day to be perfect. Communication with them was flawless, and by the end of it, we not only had an unforgettable wedding but two new friends who we know have our backs. And seriously, just look at that shot of us on the bridge THE BIRD IS IN FLIGHT! Tell me that's not some next-level photography magic. I can't recommend them enough. They don't just capture moments, they make them. You'll never regret having them there for your big day TIP: Be sure to get the ScenicMotion add on! You will not regret it. Having a reel of our day to not only send to family and friends, but to relive our day has been AMAZING!

The best decision we made as an engaged couple was hiring Jessica as our wedding planner…read more From the beginning, working with Jess for our Yosemite destination wedding felt like planning with a close friend--someone who truly understood our vision and cared deeply about making our dream wedding a reality. She planned the most picturesque celebration for us, with an unforgettable ceremony in Yosemite National Park and a stunning reception at Tenaya Lodge. Jess and her team arranged a perfect ceremony site at Yosemite's Sentinel Beach Picnic Area (permit in hand), and somehow made it feel both intimate and grand for our 100 guests. Everyone was comfortable, awestruck by the natural beauty, and touched by the seamless flow that her team executed. Organized, kind, artistic, and a true wedding pro, Jess went above and beyond at every turn. She coordinated all of our vendors--no small feat in the Yosemite area--and did it with such ease and confidence that we felt completely at peace throughout the process. Her digital planning software kept us on track without feeling overwhelmed, and she was incredibly responsive and flexible when any changes needed to be made. For context, we are based in Orange County, but Jess was consistently reliable via Zoom, call, or text throughout the whole process. The reception décor at Tenaya's Pavillion was the most breathtaking room I've ever walked into, and it would not have happened without Jess's eye for detail and expert guidance. She has a rare gift for matching couples with the perfect vendors and keeping everything on schedule without making it feel rigid or rushed. She and her team also flawlessly executed our rehearsal and welcome dinner, enhancing our Western-themed event with thoughtful decor touches that tied everything together beautifully. If you're getting married in or around Yosemite, Jessica Trettin is THE person to hire. Her local knowledge, vendor connections, and creative instincts are unmatched. But even outside of the region, I would recommend her wholeheartedly. She's nimble, efficient, and an exceptional events professional from A to Z. We are endlessly grateful to have had her by our side--our Yosemite wedding would not have been the same without her.

We will cherish these photos forever. She was great at communicating throughout the entire process, answered all of my questions, and calmed my fears about timelines. She was great about catering to our not-quite elopement (30 guests.) It was really important to us to find someone who was familiar with photographing in Yosemite and she, having grown up there, is just that person. She really captured all that makes the valley such a special place. I was also amazed at how quickly she worked- we were able to fit in several locations for photos and never felt rushed. She was very easy going to be around (super helpful when you're thinking and stressing about all of the wedding stuff) but also very thorough and professional. If you're getting married in or around Yosemite, I cannot recommend Kate enough!

I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day in the park with my fiancée and just playing around getting what I knew were great shots. She went above and beyond in every way.

From the reception, she captured all the moments, including the toasts, first dance, father-daughter dance, and my guests having a great time. I will always cherish these priceless images of our best day ever.
