When I was thinking of wedding venues, I envisioned getting married in an urban setting, but also a garden setting. I wanted something slightly edgy, but also timeless. I wanted magazine-worthy city shots, but also the lush look of trees and flowers in bloom. Was I being too picky? Maybe. But picky paid off, and we found that Portland Classical Chinese Garden was the perfect location for our wedding and reception. Unbelievably beautiful, it blew us and our guests away. Imagine walking out to greet your (future) husband on a bridge surrounded by a still pond, with your friends and family literally on all sides of you. You should just SEE our photographs. The trees, the architecture, the pond, the tall buildings surrounding it... I could go on and on. I was equally impressed by how well the venue converted to the reception site. Our guests loved having enough room to stroll along on their own, contemplating what love and beauty really mean, while still being able to participate in the most important wedding moments and the dancing (the 'party' side of the wedding was incredible... It felt like a venue a celebrity would choose). This venue is not one that will be forgotten any time soon.
We had Laurel Powers (one of the photographers at Powers Studios) and one of her assistants as our wedding photographers, and they were absolutely incredible. Laurel was sweet, professional, talented, supportive, and took initiative (important for family pictures)! The business side of the company does leave something to be desired... I think they had me and my husband in their 'client tracking system' twice, because we would get duplicate emails and phone calls from different people who obviously don't talk to each other. I was a bit worried about what would happen on my wedding day! I was also skeptical about their pricing and how you go through an insane process to choose the photographer, but being patient with them was VERY worth it.
I haven't talked to any other bride who is 100% satisfied with their wedding photos -- and I am! They captured the day perfectly. I would recommend them brides who want an exceptional value for their photographs, who are looking for timeless photographs, and aren't bridezillas (their business side would drive diva's nuts). The process could have been better, but the outcome was more than worth it!
Yum. Best cake, by far. Not only that, they were my Great-Aunt's favorite way back when she got married (in the 1940s or something)! The cake was lovely, the service was good (only one of the ladies on the phone was a bit grumpy, that is why I didn't give them top stars in Quality of Service) and after I ordered the cake and set up the drop-off date and time, that was the last I had to worry about it! Checking things off the list is a bride's favorite activity. They were great and the cake was yummy. Good pick!
My husband and I are finally floating down to reality after our PERFECT wedding. It was, by far, the best day of our lives. Event Team Entertainment made our day so flawless and memorable -- I will never forget our last dance, surrounded by all our friends and family with candles, with our vows being played back to us (surprise!!!), and feeling 100% in the moment because I knew they had it covered. Everyone has mentioned what an amazing job they did at the wedding. They were all blown away. The setting, the entertainment, the music -- and the music videos --were all huge hits. I have been telling all my friends are are getting married that they are worth every single penny spent on them!
Focal Point Digital Media is the ONLY videography studio that I would trust with my wedding. Simply put, they love weddings and they love capturing weddings! I always felt like the most important bride in the world when I was with them (even though I know they had many other brides they were working with at the same time). They were so organized, professional, supportive, and talented. They also filmed my sisters wedding two years ago, and everyone who sees the video starts bawling with happiness. It is hilarious, but feels SO good to know your wedding was captured so perfectly and beautifully, even grown men cry when they watch it! They are the best!
